OK, so I bought an LG V20 on eBay, preloaded with LineageOS 18.1. It worked fine, but I wanted to install Gapps and TWRP.
Somehow I messed up and it got stuck in fastboot mode. However, I was able to get the battery out and get it into download mode, whereupon I flashed the VS995 stock rom. Now it works as a stock V20/VS995. No issues using it as an everyday driver phone.
I want to get Lineage OS 18.1 back on it, but it will NOT go into fastboot or recovery mode in any way. Not via the buttons, not via adb. reboot bootloader or reboot recovery. These commands just make it reboot. I am not sure what to do now. Does anyone have advice for me?

Update: Flashed a ROM and the D801 laf.img as suggested and things are up and running normal again.
Alright, so I've tried going through a number of solutions but none of them seem to work for me at this point.
LG G2 D801 (T-mobile version, unlocked)
Rooted device with stump root
Installed TWRP with Autorec
Stupidly took an OTA at this point, it gave me the "secure boot error" once and now the device has a bootloop at the LG screen (without the "secure boot error" text, mind you)
Attempting to enter Download mode (Vol up + plug in usb) has the same bootloop (nothing even close to showing download mode nor fastboot)
I can access TWRP though, and the device is at least visible in adb once I'm in TWRP.
I considered flashing CM to it as is, but I wasn't sure how that would affect the issues with booting and download mode.
Also, before someone suggests this thread about reflashing the kdz/tot, I don't think I can, since I can't seem to enter download mode.
Suggestions? The goal was to get to BlissPop ROM, or CM12.1 if that didn't end up working well for me, although at this point I just want to get it working however I can.

Flash a a ROM so that your phone is usable. Then you can flash download mode using flashify. Download laf.IMG for the d801 and then you can use flashify.

Great, that worked like a charm!
Thanks so much.
It feels like a dumb question now, it'd just been a year or two since I last flashed a ROM and wasn't sure if that was the right step to take next or not haha.
ROM is up and running well and laf.img got my download mode back, so all is well again.
Dear all,
I got a used LG G2 from Freedompop recently. I want to install any 3rd party ROM such as CM12, CM13 and ASOP. I flashed it to ZV7 and get it rooted. However, I couldn't install the TWRP then. I tried to use Flashify and AutoRec. When I tried to reboot to recovery mode, the device started Fastboot mode instead. The device is not usable anymore unless I flash aboot and boot img.
In Fastboot mode, I flashed everything but it couldn't solve my issue.
Any suggestion and tutorial link will be welcomed.

refurbished D802? u have to check the exact model before flash anything
Thanks, but my device is LS980, Sprint variant.
So I was relatively ok playing with my lg g2, rooted and have twrp 2.8.6.1 installed. It has been couple of months since I can't connect to freedompop/sprint network -- I can't change the cdma setting from nv to ruim/sim, I am thinking that it was the cause. Then I decided to upgrade twrp to 3.0.2, I boot into twrp, flash img, recovery, then I can't boot back to recovery. Something with fastboot. Surprisingly, I still can boot to system. Check root access, still have it. Then I used flashify to flash twrp back to 2.8.7 but to no avail, still the same thing, no recovery but boot into the system. Then I use autorec for ls980 on androidfilehost by bender_07, that's when things went down. Screen just black, not even lg flash screen, nor download mode, nor recovery. When I plugged the phone to computer, it asks to format multiple drives (15 or so), I am not sure where to go now. Anyone have any ideas?
-Found a solution, managed to get download mode working and tot-ing back
I've got a T-Mobile 6T, and I messed up. First, I installed TWRP and that went well, then I tried to install Resurrection Remix.
I wiped all of the partitions except Vendor because thats what I used to do on my OnePlus 3T, but this time whenever I would try to flash Resurrection Remix, it would give me an error. I tried and tried to fix it, and then I went to reboot into the recovery through TWRP to see if that would fix it, it just booted into the bootloader. Now I'm stuck in the bootloader, and I'm not sure what to do.
I've got no ROM installed, and no Recovery installed(I assume because I can't boot into it), and I can't get the MSMDownloadTool to detect my phone. Thanks.

Turn off phone completely, hold volume down (or up and down, can't remember) and plug in phone to PC. MSMTool should recognize your phone now.
To get the phone to turn on and enter Qualcomm 9008 mode, turn the phone completely off, hold down both Volume Up and Down, then connect the phone directly into the PC without pressing the power button. If MSM does not recognize the device, reinstall the drivers. If that fails, make sure you are connected to a USB 2.0 port, not a 3.0.
Since you can access the bootloader, just flash a fastboot rom. Allow it to flash completely and reboot. Use the flash_all_partitions file.

Just fastboot boot twrp and flash full rom zip or restore a backup if you have one.

Or you can use the fail safe MSM download tool.
So I was installing twrp and everything went right until it didnt boot to the recovery and from then it keeps booting to lg logo and bootloader warning forever.
I know I can install the stock rom with lg up by I cannot enter download mode since the phone isnt technically turned off. Does anyoene have a solution.
It's my main phone and I literally cannot afford a phone right now.
A way to turn it off would be the solution. Battery was around 70% so it will take a long time to actually have 0%.
Update: I got to the fasboot menu from where I can run fastboot reboot recovery after installing twrp again. Now I have some mounting issues and I cannot flash any zip without entering bootloop. Im trying to use the shut down menu of twrp to try to enter download mode.
2nd Update: solved using lg up with the latest android version.
