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.

Help really need here, big issues

Hello to everybody, so i was thinking my nakasi was really dead this time, the last thing i did was flashing a 5.1.1 rom next when i rebooted got stuck on lolipop boot loop so i restarted the tablet
manually to access the recovery, and to my awe, i couldn't no more access the recovery ! (latest twrp) tried again and again nothing, no recovery no bootloader, can't start the OS
always stuck on google logo with the options above, start, bootloader, recovery etc, today i realized i could access the bootloader and fastboot mode (ADB recognize my device when i type fastboot devices)
so i tried flashing stock image and stuff with no luck, tried many stock roms, tried wug's toolkit and the flash all.bat still no luck, i get all kind of error messages here is a screenshot, help is really appreciated if there is anything i can do to save it :
View attachment 3305126

the problem seems to be that i can't write the things i send to the tablet via ADB, tried the NVflash recovery today and got :

Have you tried not imputing the full file address as you have the emulator already running from that location.
So recovery command would be.
Fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery Img file here"
Just make sure that the image file is in the platform-tools folder.
Probably not your issue but its going to save you some typing.
Good luck

Thank you for the tip I'll certainly use it, but i don't think it is the culprit since as you can see in the screenshots
the files get sent successfully but cannot be written, my bootloader is unlocked by the way

Did you try the latest factory image? I noticed you are flashing a very old bootloader, possibly the first one? 4.23 is the current version.
Where is flatline_grouper.img coming from? I've never seen that.

Hello kind sir, of course at first i tried the 5.1.1 full factory image with the NRT toolkit and got the same writing errors next i tried many bootloaders
(one of them found it here as a 100% working bootloader) the Flatline is the recovery of the NVflash tool where you can access it to unbrick full bricked N7s
if you got blobs.bin of your N7 backed up (clearly not my case)
the flashing writing error i get it with everything i try to flash, recoverys bootloader system etc
when i send them with the flash all command they got sent to the tablet okay, but when writing i get the errors
i don't know but there is a small informations if that can help, before it broke my system was in EXT4 and all the rest in F2FS

It's entirely possible your memory has failed. I'm reading more and more people running into corrupted memory issues.
You can get a replacement motherboard cheap on eBay if nothing else works.

I'm still hoping for a software solution since my fastboot works fine, I'll let the motherboard solution my last i guess

Hello some news about the still staggering situations : when the tablet is off and i put the charger i get the battery refiling animation ! so that mean the bootloader isn't broken
and i still can access fastboot mode, even when i push a bootloader i get a signature match message, but the problem is still that the things i push can't be written as i'm still getting a :
FAILED <Remote: <FileWriteFailed>> changed usb cables, changed ports, the last time the tablet was working i had the system on EXT4 and the rest on F2FS, maybe if i can convert everything to EXT4 ?

Bricked :(

So I was going through the XDA guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928[1]
And when I was flashing TWRP, I skipped over the other link for the boot.img, and flashed TWRP as the boot instead, like renamed TWRP as boot.img and flashed that.
Yes, I'm an idiot, yes, I've done this correctly a ton of times before, I guess I just rushed through as usual and messed this up really bad.
Right now, booting normally goes into TWRP, but I'm unable to wipe or do anything of that nature in TWRP. TWRP also tells me I have no OS installed. I can go into the bootloader, and fastboot devices shows me the phone, but I can't flash anything to the device. Keeps telling me "FAILED(command write failed (invalid argument))"
Any ideas anyone? I really don't want to RMA this...
Sort of related to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/help-bootloop-t3235689

Did you try doing a "fastboot erase boot" before reflashing with a proper boot.img?

Crap. Sorry to hear that dude.
Did you try the "fastboot format" command? You could try formatting the boot and recovery partition and see if after that it allows you to flash the appropriate files.
Edit: haha you beat me to it.

You will be the first one in the history of a nexus to brick it.

Its kind of like trying to brick the original Motorola Droid! You would REALLY have to work at it to do any real damage. Remember, fastboot is your friend. It can get you out of a LOT of tight spots.

You could try flashing one of the custom roms here in twrp. If that goes normally, you're back up and running. Also, if you're unlocked, I'm unclear as to why flashing via fastboot wouldn't work. You should be able to flash each image individually and be ok. But, I guess anything is possible. I hope this helps.

Okay thanks everyone, I fixed it. It was just something dumb with my desktop, it's been giving me problems with all my drivers and wouldn't let me flash anything onto my phone with fastboot for some reason. I just reflashed the developer image and all is good now, thanks!

P9 lite l21 tottaly bricked

So this is what happened, I was on I MedroM v3, so I was there was a firmware in beta (the 7.0 update) so I've done it and now I'm stuck in a bootloop
, I flashed the Nougat recovery so it locked my bootloader
and removed TWRP so I can't even go to flash the old rom
again. I also can't get the product id now cause I don't have an OS installed, there's no way to pull it without it an OS. I have tried every existing method possible and nothing (including the sd
card method with update.app and bla bla bla)
So I can't flash files through fastboot It says " Command not allowed"
Can somebody please help me, I have experience with flashing and everything but I in my entire life have not seen that a phone company so big doesn't have a ******** flashtool
or some other way of recovering hard bricked devices instead of buying a new motherboard or something..
If somebody could help me I would be so grateful! Please excuse my language I'm very mad and frustrated, I need my phone for work and now I'm offline..
- Fastboot is available but the bootloader is locked
- No TWRP
- No OS Installed

Download a firmware you want, extract the update.app and put it in sd card folder. From the phone completely shutdown, press vol +, vol - and power at the same time hold it until the updater with percentage progress moving appears.. you should be fine after that.. ? i believe. Maybe try it. That's what i did on my case

No, It says "Software Install failed! Incompatability with current software version"
When I go to eRecovery t says that it cant connect to WIFI.
As I said i tried every known method and I can't get it to work. Spent my whole day trying to fix it, I'm out of ideas

I had the same problem, but with the L31.
First try to use https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
Then with the file i send you attached (MAF32)
- Fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Fastboot flash system system.img
- Fastboot flash cust cust.img
- and finally TWRP
After that i puted the first exctrated uppdate.pp in my memory card and with the "3 buttons" process i flashed it. Then i repeated the same process with the second one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...droid-nougat-dev-build-huawei-t3488360/page33). After this finished, again with the 3 buttons i made a factory reset.
5 minutes later, it was working.

i don't understand how to boot to fastboot ? and where to get these img files i am really stuck here pleaase

You don't understand, In order to unlock the bootloader i need the product ID which you get by typing some number combination in the dialer. I cant get to the dialer cause I dont have any OS installed, cause the old was dirty flashed. So thats why i cant flash TWRP etc..

Ok, this is what I would do if I were you. I would pick a rom in the development section, eg. RR. Then I would extract it and get the system image and boot image and fastboot flash them. To extract the rom, use SuperR's Kitchen.
Hope this helps.

Bricked VS995 after Dirty Santa attempt - could use some help! :(

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")

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 ever get any help? I would go directly to the dirty santa thread and make your issue known. I'm not sure how much help I could give you but if no one else is willing to help I can try.

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.

Splinter 77 - Thank you for the suggestion. I have been trying to get this tool to work for a couple hours and everytime it hangs on the Downloading Firmware section. No matter what I try I can't get it to download the firmware....

Does anyone have some ideas I can try? I'm up for anything at this point!

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

I was bout ready to give up, got it working with newest lg up and stock flash file from lg support website, I haven't seen a whole lot (any) solved posts so I thought I would share. At least got it working again, rooted is another story.
