Bricked VS995 after Dirty Santa attempt - could use some help! :( - LG V20 Questions & Answers

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 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

ATT D800 Fastboot Loop No Recovery No Download Mode

Hello All,
I've been searching for hours. I had rooted my LG G2 weeks ago with no problems. I then un-rooted it and I thought reset it to factory. Today in Target I pulled it out of my pocket to make a call and it was black screened to Fastboot.
I have tried holding down Volume - and Power and entering recovery to reset to factory but it immediately goes to Fastboot loop.
I have tried holding down Volume + while plugging in USB for Download Mode but it immediately goes to Fastboot loop.
I have tried adb commands, error: device not found.
I have tried manually updating the Android drivers through Computer Management and selecting many of the Android Platform Sooner versions. My Win7 PC recognizes the phone as ADB Interface > Andriod Sooner Single ADB Interface in Device Manager.
I have tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595 and flashed both laf.img and I cannot get into Download Mode.
What else can I do? Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks for your time!
hey same exact thing just happened to me. i had it rooted from earlier, but ended up keeping the stock rom on my AT&T LG G2 D800. What I think happened was ATT just pushed out an OTA update (not sure about other carriers), supposedly some small 15mb update to prepare for upcoming releases and despite declining the install, the phone of course did it anyways.
No recovery, no download mode, factory reset doesn't do anything.
Thanks AT&T! :good:

Did anyone figure this out? I am stuck in fastboot mode. I can run fastboot commands, but thats about it.
I can't get to ADB, I can't get to recovery, I can't get to download mode. I reboot the phone and it goes immediately back to fastboot.
I've tried flashing recovery, the laf.img, and even rom's inside fastboot and nothing is seeming to work.

If you can't get adb access with either single sooner or pdanet drivers, you may have to resort to this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
(actually kind of sounds like fun to me)
if you're stuck in fastboot mode then you can simply use the fastboot commands to write the aboot, sbl1, boot, recovery, laf, rpm, tz and dbi partitions.
you can substitute stock recovery.img for a properly patched twrp/cwm img (renamed recovery). from there you should be able to boot into download mode... custom recovery.. or boot back up.

I found a site that had the backed up D800 .img files. I had to use Ubuntu to write them back to my device.. after like 15hrs of googling/writing on forums, I finally got my device to boot back up! lol..
of course there was a popup saying that my device was suspected of rooting and it won't update.. but who cares, it works now!
im onthe verizon variant and stuff like this just annoys me to no end you say no lg pushes it to your device anyway its wrong not even samsung stoops this low i am glad i have a custom rom

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

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 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.

[Q] Please help, I think I bricked my phone :(

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.

You could have tried to flash stock firmware. Exactly same thing happened to me. Flashing stock firmware solved the problem.

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.

I did that, but got the white line issue and didn't see the fix from Cloudyfa until today. I guess I'll try it again, knowing I'll get the white lines. Kind of freaked me out a little.
I'll let you know after the process, tomorrow. Thanks.

H918 stuck on fastboot.

One of my costumer V20 is now stuck in fastboot.
Whatever I do, it's keep coming back to fastboot mode.
I can enter download mode, and try flash , even using the costum LG up, with upgrade option, partition DL option.
I use Box ( octopus, Z3x ).
I don't know what is wrong with this phone.
it's only going back to fastboot.
Any help is really apreciated.
Thank You.

What does using the "fastboot reboot" cmd do ?

It goes back straight to fastboot after LG logo
If you can get into download mode try the 'upgrade' option in lgup
It is stuck in fastboot because your customer tried to root it with lafsploit without unlocking the bootloader.
They have two choices:
1 - Send it to LG to have it repaired.
2 - Wait for me to finish lafsploit 2.0 which will unlock their bootloader, and their phone will just start working.
The partitions that hold the unlock information are not touched when you flash a KDZ, so no amount of flashing is going to fix it.

I think that's what happen, and I don't have any choice except to wait . Returning to LG is not an option.

If you cant get into download mode by powering off, holding vol up and then plugging into a pc (no power button needed) then you dont have a phone anymore. Unless rooted via dirtysanta which replaces aboot (which provides fastboot), the stock fastboot mode of the h918 can't actually flash anything to the phone which means no unbricking with it; TWRP and download mode are only ways to restore firmware.
I know this is an old thread but my gf has the h918 which is unlocked with twrp Installed, she tried updating magisk from inside magisk and now she's stuck in fastboot mode .The fastboot reboot command does not reboot the phone I even booted into twrp and wiped cache any ideas?

This is a Magisk 20.2 issue there's at two threads in the LGV20 forum on how to recover
Sent from my LG-H910 using XDA Labs

Trying to flash TWRP but no success (stuck on Fastboot mode)

I have been on a journey trying to go back to my T-Mobile OnePlus 6T back as my daily driver but the official updates killed the device for me. I have been successful in flashing it to the international version and now the device is on A9. I am trying to get it updated to A10 but in order do that (does not take OTA updates or can not flash within the updates app) I have to flash in recovery. Right now it is on stock recovery so I am trying to flash TWRP.
The problem is now that everytime I run the command " fastboot boot IMAGENAME.img" the phone restarts (as expected) and boots into fastboot but stays stuck in the Fastboot Mode screen.
I tried different TWRP images (older and the most current version per https://dl.twrp.me/fajita/ ) but I keep getting stuck in the Fastboot Mode screen. The last thing I was able to do without issues was unlock bootloader using fastboot.
I just need to be able to flash TWRP on the phone so I can still the final stock image so I can go back to using it as my DD.
EDIT: Disregard everything I fixed it. mods, please delete thread.
EDITR 2: Disregard that last edit lol Yeah I still need help. I am now tryingto flash twrp on a second 6T and the issue described above still applies.
You can try this version. Also try unplugging the USB after it reboots. You aren't getting any crash dump screen? So it should be working.

Tried your image and still same result. I am running following command
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP-3.6.1_11-OP6xT.img
The command window outputs the following
Code:
Sending 'boot.img' (34964 KB) OKAY [ 0.747s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.092s]
Finished. Total time: 0.860s
The phone then reboots into Fastboot Mode logo and stays stuck there. I even tried unplugging the USB after it reboots as well.
I even tried using the flash command instead of boot but no success.
How about fastboot boot recovery? Should be able to get into recovery somehow. Doing fastboot flash of twrp will mess up your boot partition but either way you still should be able to get into recovery somehow. There is the msm recovery tool you can use as last resort but it will relock your bootloader
Actually fastboot doesn't let you use boot recovery command I don't think. Only adb. But once you are in fastboot can't you choose to reboot recovery with volume keys?

I tried doing fastboot boot recovery but i get following error
Code:
fastboot: error: cannot load 'recovery': No such file or directory

When I am in fastboot mode, yes I can choose recovery but it takes me to the stock recovery. I do not have a option to flash any zip files there
Maybe you need a twrp for Android 9 since that's what you are on. But fastboot boot twrp should just take you there. Either have to find one that works or go msm route. Maybe windows not reading it correctly also. You using CMD or PowerShell?

I tried both CMD and PowerShell. I am going to try a A9 version of twrp
EDIT: I am using twrp-3.6.1_9-0-fajita.img (which I assume is for A9) and still get the same result. Even tried a different usb port.. not sure what i could be missing. I also did the instructions as advised straight from twrp's website.

I don't know bud. I guess msm tool is the way to go then
Curious did you have the twrp file in same folder as adb and fastboot?
