Please Help
I have the same issue. Flashtool thinks my phone is a D801. It boots normally for a few seconds and keep rebooting. Im Reading, dowloading and trying every method around since yesterday afternoon with no luck. I did replace the .dll you provided but i have a different error now, something like mismatch different files and it shows both files names. I just got this phone from a friend. it shows d801 tmo versión in flashtool so i think he was messing around with any tmo based rom (if exits). So flashtool does not let me flash the phone because of this(Think this is a 801 tmo)
I also tried lg suppor tool but it never download the firmware. It get stuck on downloading firmware or checking phone settings (something like that), I found my cell model on the back on the phone so im pretty sure is a SL980. So what comboof files i can use? Do i still can use the.dll provided? Do i have to rename something?(btw...i did and didnt work).
Any other tip? Did i miss something? I have no phone now so im kinda desperate. Thanks in advance for any help.
Sorry for any mistake, english is not my first language.
I will try ti explain you later what i did to fix this issue
Cant you go in fastboot mode?

ok this is what i did to unbrick my phone in your same conditions, in some steps maybe i made some mistakes but i went to the fastboot mode and there i replaced all kernel files of ls980 to fix the issue:
first you have to proceed to back to stock your phone with the T-Mobile USA D80110C_1.kdz :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
now your phone is a full d801, it will boot the system but will be unstable, you must be fast to go to make the developer options and debug your phone, make it on plane and and charging mode, maybe you will be able to do it after some reboots, u must insist.
download the ioroot11 program to root your device, remember always that is unstable, your device will be recognized for not long time, so you have to open the ioroot program often until it recognize your device and root it with the program.
after this step, if your phone is rooted but is still too much ustable to use the adb command (i tried to sideload and push the recovery but it always made me a sideload error), download this program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633941
is a simple tool to flash the recovery, it worked in my case, you have to install the recovery of the d801, in my case the philz recovery worked, if everything will be right, you will flash the recovery.
When i was inside the recovery i tried to flash the justin sprint t mobile through the sideload command but it didn't work, same with cm11, i flashed the ls980twrp.zip and when i tried to go to recovery again i was in fastboot.
from fastboot i used the command fastboot erase to erase the partitions: aboot, boot, dbi,laf,misc, persist, recovery, rpm, sbl1, tz.
to erase you must use the command fastboot erase aboot aboot for example, to erase the boot you must repeat boot(fastboot erase boot boot) and so on.
after erased all files i flashed the partitions of ls980:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/LS980/Stock_Firmware/zv7_partitions
cmd fastboot flash aboot aboot and so on, (i didn't flashed the primaryGPT).
when i flashed all these files i pushed power volume+ and i was in upgrade firmware, so i went back to stock with zv7tot and dll..
it wasn't simple to find a way to back to stock, i guess to made some mistakes but i fixed my issue in this way, i am responsible of what i do with my phone, i cannot guarantee the same results with the others

if you can go to twrp you can flash with adb, i wasn't able to go in recovery, just download with the d801 firmware, that explains why it was complicated
Thanks for all your help. I was able to erase everything via fastboot and my phone fell down and power off before flashing img and now is dead. I have a big blue pitbull inside the house who makes the disaster.,.lol. i just got one white from a friend for $160. Im sure this thread can help any people with a brick device. Thanks again.

what ToledoG28 said is exactly what I have been attempting to do to correct this issue but I am facing an additional issue. I had got to the point where I am running the d800 version on my ls980 and it is unstable as you said. I believed I had found a way out but when I connect to the computer no matter what I do I get no adb for no reason as far as I can tell.
makes no sense at all to me as I had adb before all this perfectly fine.

you gotta go do device drivers and your device will show up as some unknown device so you install the adb devices for your phone and then you should get adb to show.

It's for the F320 variants but there is also a link to search for other variant files.
Also just in case you are unable to do what phoost suggested, what i did was keep tr ying to get into recovery, the lg logo would blink fast, but you just have to keep tr ying, and i finally got it and reflashed my rom and its been fine ever since...i did get scared tho, but my g2 is only 4 days old right now, so i can always return and get another, but just do what i said

i got the same problem here when flashing the slimkat.
fastboot is like adb sideload.
when you see the usb command, you need to plug the phone to the PC to sync them.
This happened to me a while back the link in post two is how I solved it. You just need to find the laf.img for your model, put it in the same folder as adb and run the adb commands in the tutorial. You might have to change the directory in cmd prompt to where adb is located. Once the laf is successfully flashed you can boot into download mode and flash the kdz for your model.

I tried this but it starts download mode but then goes to fastboot. I was trying to keep download mode. I used the laf.img in the the link you posted. I'm on verizon lg g2 is that the right laf.img?
***Got it thanks***
In the link above that is for the Korean g2 I believe. If I remember correctly there's a link to other img files in his thread. You might also consider flashing the proper boot.img as well. It was a while ago that this happened so I don't recall exactly but if you flash the Verizon boot.img and laf.img you should be good.

Over the years I've always been good at solving these things, but this is the first time I've every had to request help/guidance.
LG
1. Came from from 4.4.2, ioroot rooted, installed twrp via freegee, but not the kernel patch. This prevented me from booting back into Android.
2. Factory reset everything, wiped everything from twrp.
3. Ran adb commands here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 Got me into fastboot.
4. Flashed all .img files for LG D800 from prime's D800 img stash. Fastboot rebooted.
5. Installed Mahndi ROM via adb. Reboot
6. Stuck. Phone hangs on LG logo, loading modem and com drivers in windows. Recovery is now stock, so no flashing. Download mode works but always get a "Device Model is different" error at 0% when flashing from LG Flash Tools. Correct .tot and correct .dll for D800.
Any help or ideas to get my G2 up and running again would be amazing. I'm still trying to figure out if I can modify the .tot to match my device's current model or just ignore it and overwrite (best hope). Even if i can get ubuntu to detect the phone that would lit my spirits.
Thanks.
Progress
So I have actually figured out the problem completely, yet I do not yet have a solution.
-I after flashing the correct .img over to my device, I was all set to go, but read somewhere about flashing over mahdi ROM.
-I successfully flashed Mahdi, but DID NOT FLASH THE DEVICE VERSION PATCH (literally hit my head on the desk when I realized).
-I panicked after it did not work and reflashed all the .img so I was stuck with stock recovery, no adb, no sideload, no fastboot.
Is there ANY WAY to flash back to stock with the LG Flash Tool for the ATT D800 that ignores the model number inconsistency. This type of phone only supports the .TOT method of flashing. There is no other way (KDZ = NO). Currently my device's build.prop says that the model is "g2" (this is what the patch was supposed to fix) and my flashing file/.dll is for "D800".
My device can not be seen in Ubuntu.
Any suggestions?

I have seen and downloaded that one before, and if I recall correctly, I didn't get a model error, but rather something else. I believe it was a bin file error??, but I do not recall. I actually just sent my G2 in on a warranty claim (*please oh please don't notice I replaced the screen") and hopefully that will take care of it. I was just posting so that maybe someone doesn't have to dig through 350 pages of replies to find out what happened. I'll keep the post going when I find anything out though.

I won't have my phone available for a few days. Any chance you could go ahead and give that lgup_8974.dll a test run and report back? I'd be more than willing to help do any research if it gives a different error besides the model.
Sorry to dig up this thread, but I have the exact same problem, except I flashed mahdi on my D802 and somehow the version patch didnt flash correctly. Is there anything like a lgup_8974.dll for D802s?
I'm really desperate here.
i have the exact same problem!!
Any solution found yet??
I went to flash the latest version of Mahdi ROM, which I have done many times without a problem. This time, however, the patch.zip that I downloaded failed to install and then I was stuck in a fastboot. I found another post on here where someone said that putting certain commands into the prompt would fix it so I made sure that I had all the right files for my LS980 and went ahead and did it.
These are the commands I followed that got me to this point:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot 6-boot.img
fastboot flash aboot 4-boot.img
fastboot flash recovery 10-recovery.img
fastboot flash laf 11-laf.img
fastboot reboot
But now I can't seem to bring up anything and I've tried powering it on, going into recovery, and going into download mode but none of those things seem to be working. When I plug it into my computer, it makes the little sound and it's recognized but only as an E: drive with one lonely folder in it titled "image" and then I get a bunch of pop ups saying that "You need to format the disk in drive S: (and other various letters) before you can use it".
I really hope someone here can help me and that I haven't completely ruined my phone because there's no way that I have the money or means to replace it.

I wasn't able to fix it at all and ended up going to Sprint and getting a new phone. I basically just said it stopped charging correctly and then I woke up one morning and it wouldn't turn on. They took it as a hardware issue and I got it replaced. Thank goodness for Total Equipment Protection. I'm not sure who your carrier is, but Sprint gives two free replacements (as long as it is hardware or something similar) and then it's $25 for every replacement after that. Needless to say, I am going full stock and sticking with Nova Launcher this time around.

I should have said I fixed the problem by flashing stock. All is ok now.
I just rooted again and am trying to figure out how to avoid the same problem, which happened when I tried to install TWRP via AutoRec. The thing is, I have the F320K version and it doesn't seem to like the custom TWRP in AutoRec. But I don't see an alternative, yet.
I'm missing something.

Install the Autorec specific to your model. There should not be any problem cause most of us used autorec to install twrp.

that is because the download mode partition is broken because it is the wrong model; if you download the correct model of autorec you can use WinRAR/7zip to get the laf.img from the assets folder and then flash it using adb; I know the process to flash the images through fastboot as long as your device is recognized by your pc I can help

it's all done using adb; fastboot is the mood you are in and with adb is how we look for device and send the commands
after going into your adb folder(android sdk>platform-tools or ioroot folder) you make sure to copy the laf image into it and then after opening cmd window and cd into the adb folder you use the adb devices command if after starting daemon it show your device in fastboot mode then you do the following:
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
actually you can flash all the partitions using fastboot(the images inside assets folder) and then doing a simple reboot should boot your device but if it doesn't then you just have to boot into download mode:
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot flash aboot aboot.img
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
with either method when done flashing correct files use:
fastboot reboot
and your device will reboot; make sure that you flash all correct files before rebooting and then if device boots normally you will have custom recovery and be back on the stock rom if by any chance it doesn't boot then you can just boot into download mode(hold volume up while plugging in usb cable to phone/pc) and then just kdz/tot back to stock
Best of Luck :fingers-crossed:

Dude, I read those instructions from all over the net but I guess I needed this divine intervention. You have no idea how greatful I am for your assistance. Current situation: Download mode is back and LGmobile support tool is doing its download thing for stock rom.
I have to add that I was receiving an error message from CMD prompt for command:
fastboot flash laf.img
I replaced that by:
fastboot flash laf laf.img
and was abble to finish the rest.
Good safe rooting to all the rooters!

PS: too bad I can only thank you once on this one...

Glad it all worked out and thanks for pointing that out for some reason I always forget that fastboot needs the partition name before the image name (trust me it isn't first time I make the mistake but we ain't perfect)
If you decide to go at it again make sure to use correct version of autorec and enjoy your device :high-five:

You're not serious right? Tell me you're joking!
With ppl like you around I'm no longer worried. This was a learning experience.
Guess what.... G2 now rooted with correct autorec version... TWRP is enabled and BusyBox is in da house too. Next step... create a backup after deleting all these spying resources hungry LG default apps and then... ENABLE 4K video capture!
Amigo, I told you You just made this dude's week.
By the way if you think I forgot something importand pls advise. I read somewhere it was a good thing to save efs or something.

Hi I've been studying this thread because I have the same problem--used the wrong version of autorec and now my Verizon LG G2 is stuck in fastboot. I've downloaded the correct version of autorec but I do not understand how to open the apk to access the assets file. I right click but get no option to open or extract. Can anyone help me, or direct me to a link where the laf.img files are stored? Thanks!

Thanks, but I took it to a shop that borked it completely. Just sold it on the Bay. Picked up a Moto X off Craig's...lol...oh well, the Moto is pretty cool and since it's running 4.4.4 I can't do anything to it until someone figures out how to unlock the bootloader...probably for the best...

I've done my homework but haven't found how others fix this issue.
Sucessfully rooted the Videotron LG G2 D801
.
The mistake: Autorec my LG G2 D801 with autorec D801 version unaware that Canadian D801 must be autorec'd by autorec D803 version.
Status of phone: Boots shows LG logo and goes immediately to black screen 'Fastboot mode started'.
Tried: Download mode attempts bring up the download mode logo for a sec and immediately the phone goes back to Fastboot mode started screen.
User rickthewood2 reported he had the same issue and was provided a fix. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723687.
I tracked him on a french forum where he reported that XDA guy compiled a file for him that unbricked this issue as he was having a hard time with entering commands. He also specified that the trick was to repair his download mode with a laf.img file ... once download mode was repaired he went back to stock rom. This is the link of his post made in french http://www.phonandroid.com/forum/ecran-noir-apres-autorec-t90109.html

Hi,
do you have an idea wich autorec is nessesary for a G2 shipped from HongKong. Ic guess I have the same issue like you. But on the case I have a D802 lable. So I thought it must be the one for a D802. May I'm wrong?
Now I tried a D800 one and it worked as I could start my phones download mode. After starting it I installed different roms but all had strange behavior like wrong touch an just flipping arround after touching. There is also no chance to connect to the network. Later I saw that my G2 32GB only shows 10GB of internal storage when its connected to pc. Any idea what I did wrong?
I would be very thankfull for help!!!!
Thanks

So my VS995 (Verizon LG V20) is stuck in a fastboot loop. I can't do anything outside of fastboot. I got to after step 3 in the Dirty Santa root method and could not get the phone to boot into TWRP recovery. I kept getting an ADB device offline error and could not get ADB to see my device to initiate the "ADB reboot recovery command".
In a stupid and drunk state I did a "fastboot erase system" and thats what locked me into the fastboot loop.
Any help is appreciated as my V20 is now unusable :crying:.
I guess I would need a stock boot image, and stock recovery to get back to where I started. If anyone could point me in the right direction and help me get my phone back (and possibly rooted), I would be more than happy to donate via PayPal .
P.S. The LGUP software used in the how to restore v20 thread linked-> ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903) does not recognize the model of device giving the error ("you have to select a known model, please")

I was able to flash the appropriate stock .kdz file (THANKS dwertz!) but my phone immediately boots right back into FastBoot Mode
Do I need a stock Boot.img file?
I can communicated with the device through the PC's terminal using fastboot. Are there any fastboot commands I could try to boot into the stock firmware I just flashed? Are there any partitions I need to erase or format?
Any help is appreciated!

to my understanding, the kdz file contains the stock boot.img and stock system.img, everything to bring the device completely back to stock .
In fastboot to boot to the system the command is "fastboot reboot"

After flashing the stock .kdz firmware for the VS995 fastboot is no longer working and giving me the error FAILED (remote: unknown command).
My phone can not get past FastBoot! :crying: I think I really bricked this thing now. My bootloader is locked, fastboot commands don't work at all.
The only thing that does work is download mode (holding volume up and plugging phone in) and I am able to flash the vs995 firmware from the lg website but i STILL can't boot into anything but fastboot.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try to fix this thing. I think i'm doomed. I may try to flash the stock us996 firmware because at this point it seems like it wont get any worse.
Any help would be appreciated!

Did you flash the kdz using Uppercut?
imucarmen - I can't post in the dirty santa thread because I am a new member to XDA (been coming here for years just never made an account )
bond32 - Yes I was able to flash the .kdz using Uppercut+LGUP but my problem is not fixed. My phone still boots right to FastBoot Mode in the "Locked State" to where I can't issue any commands or alter any partitions.
This makes no sense to me if LGUP is able to 100% flash the stock firmware, WHY CAN'T I GET OUT OF FASTBOOT! Lol
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could try to unbrick this thing?
I know it's a different issue from the one that I had, but the LG Support Tool method that KedarWolf posted might help solve this issue too.

Did you try pulling the battery, put the battery back in.
Hold the volume down and power button at same time. When the lg logo shows up let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down and press the power button again. It will bring you to a screen tgat has 2 questions. Answer yes to both of them. Then reboot. I believe that resets the way the phone boots almost like resetting a cmos

ahh i got it man! @Kevin_xail
i dont know if this will help seince u relocked, but do the factory reset dance
hold the vol down and power and put in battery as soon as its on click the power button and re hold it. it will get to recovery, it took me hours but its there.
I had tried that a few times after reading about it but I'll try now for an extended period of time and see if I can activate it. I'll report back with what happens, thanks for the tip dwertz and Team DevDigitel
Well I got in to the recovery menu and reset to factory settings and wipe cache (the only two options) but I still am booting right into FastBoot and can't escape!
I even flashed the stock .kdz again after the factory reset and wiping cache and I'm still stuck in FastBoot
Any other suggestions to try?

When you have a unlocked boot loader and you do a factory reset, I believe it wipes the OS from the phone giving you no OS. If you can get back to recovery, flash this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/vs995-vzw-nrd90m-modded-notsostock-rom-t3525864
That will at least get you booted so you can flash the kdz.
I can't get into any kind of recovery to flash a rom though
