first off if the lg logo still comes on your not bricked. Next thing is to go to the verizon thread about how to go back to stock.

The thing is i cant boot into download mode, i only see it for like 2sec and then the fastboot mode pops up, i dont have adb acces either.

Shutting off your phone and holding the Volume up key while plugging in USB isn't triggering it?

i only see the download mode screen for like 2sec and then im back to fastboot mode, I found this tutorial that seems to to be the way to fix my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
I was on the latest firmware 24A, i will need the correct laf.img file for the g2 vs980 in order to fix download mode but i cant find it. Can i just flash the laf.img file from a previous firmware 11A?. http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware/11A_Partitions

Its under xdabbebs

i've been in same situation
do this
start phone normal (you'll be in fastboot mode)
use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
you already used this , but now go to download page and download all of this
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware/11A_Partitions
and use this command for all
fastboot flash laf laf.img
in case of other files will be , for sample "fastboot flash boot boot.bin" or fastboot flash aboot aboot.img
now you'll have working download mode
after that use 11_a tot method
or you can download 12B partitions , it doesn't really matters (i think)

Still can find the solution

I tototally misread your reply, is it safe to flash all those files even though i was on a different firmware version "24A".

You installed xdabbeb's bootstack probably, it switches download mode to fastboot.
Grab the restore download mode download here and flash it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715408

Help stuck on bootload screen

I just received my op3t and turn it on and then it said to update to latest firmware. Which I did. I updated it then it said failed. The device restarted and it is now stuck in bootload page. Anyone know a fix?
Also I cannot get into recovery mode. I can only get into fastboot mode. Not sure why it won't go into recovery.
Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Download full ROM of Oxygen OS here.
Download the stock Oxygen OS recovery image file from the same page (bottom of page under red "download" button).
Make sure your computer has fastboot installed, if not use something like minimal adb and fastboot.
Make sure your PC has the proper drivers installed for the OP3T.
Rename the stock recovery image file into something like stockrecovery.img
Boot phone into fastboot mode, connect to the PC and make sure the PC can detect the phone by inputting:
fastboot devices
If a serial number shows up, then enter the following two lines:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
Reboot into recovery and use it to flash the full OOS 4.0.3 zip from a USB flash drive.
If the above doesn't work, the failed update may have damaged the firmware, in which case you will have to use the unbrick guide.

Phone boots fine but cant enter recovery or fastboot.

I have an honor 9 lld-l21 with unlocked bootloader and i had twrp and magiskintalled but i wanted to update to the latest version so i tried updating without changing anything and i would get errors in twrp so i flashed the stock ramdisk and nothing happened then used huawei update extractor And extracted recovery_ramdis.img and it WAS written like recovery_ramdis.img and i patched recovery ramdisk in twrp with this file then rebooted the phone it boots normally and i can do whatever i want inside the phone but when i tried updating it downloaded the update powered off and then tried to get in recovery but it couldn't and booted in to the phone and said update failed i tried factory reseting my phone but same thing happenes, it shuts down tries to open recovery, it cant then boots to normal phone and says factory reset failed. I tried using adb to reboot to recovery or fastboot but it cant, it shuts down the phone, goes to open recovery or fastboot then opens the phone normally. So i cant patch the phone with any stock firmware or anything like that because i cant load into fastboot. I tried using hisuite and using the system recovery option there and it tells me theres nothing wrong with my phone. Its like i deleted fastboot and recovery from my phone.
Note : i am not in a bootloop i can enter the phone fine and do whatever inside infact im posting this with my phone i just cant enter fastboot or recovery or erecovery or anyhting.
Please help. :crying:

How are you trying to enter recovery?
How are you trying to enter fastboot?
Other that ADB obviously.

i tried entering using the buttons (closing the phone and holding down power and vol up) and it used to work before and it would open recovery but it doesnt work anymore

OK you have knackered your recovery, you still haven't told me how you try to enter fastboot.
Try this to enter fastboot, from phone off while holding Vol Down connect to PC with USB lead.
Should enter fastboot where you can then flash a new recovery partition.

Stuck in Fastboot

Ok..so here's the situation. I was going to install a new ROM ( my son got a new phone a iphone ) but any ways. As I was in TWRP i did everything we all normally do but the phone died mid flashing GAPPS. when i went to pulg the phone to the charger and restart the phone i see that it started to boot up the it jumped straight to FASTBOOT and it's stuck. I can toggle through fastboot but that is it. when i go to restart it will show the boot animation but then goes to fast boot. it wont go to TWRP nothing. I've combed XDA and found the multi tool but don't think that is working or i might be using it wrong. the computer doesn't recognize the phone. im trying to get this phone back up and going and give to my daughter . any help is greatly appreciated. thank you in advacne.

Here's what I'm talking about just in case someone asks

How...I can't get my computer to recognize the phone... When I plug it in it doesn't read it...I should have the drivers already installed...adb push right.... I'll search for the command to see if it finds the phone

adb never works in fastboot mode. You'll have to use the fastboot command.
On the PC, try
fastboot devices
to see whether the phone is available. If not, check your drivers - I believe that fastboot uses a different USB driver.
With fastboot, you can't install zip-files, only image files. So download the stock factory image, not the OTA.
