First of all I want to Thank cybertag (a member at reddit.com) whose help made me find this solution. And sorry if my English is not good, it is not my first language. As I don't have enough posts here, XDA restricts me to post external links so this is the best I could do. I will add links to the files needed once i am allowed.
A few days ago I was tinkering with after my lg g2 ls-980, the sprint version of lg g2, rooted but no custom recovery installed and I made my first mistake of changing the model number from ls-980 to D802 in built.prop file thinking that it will only change the model number shown in the hardware information and restarted the phone. Once my phone booted up after that restart everything was crashing. There was a huge number of crash reports popping on the screen and I was not able to use anything. So I downloaded the .tot files of the stock firmwares LS980ZVC and LS980ZVE (don't know why but I downloaded both) along with the .dll file needed to flash the firmware for ls980 and when I tried to flash the firmware booting the phone in download mode and using the LG Flash tool but it gave me an error saying that the firmware does not match with model number of my phone. Both firmwares gave the same error. My phone and the flash tool both were thinking it was D802 while it was not.
Now i made my second mistake and downloaded the stock firmware for D802 and flashed it using LG flash tool. The firmware was flashed successfully without any error, but when the phone booted up after the flash the touch screen was behaving funny and phone restarted every 15-20 seconds because this firmware was not meant to be used with LS-980. I was unable to do anything the way touch screen was behaving.
I spent most of my time for the next few days googling for the solution and searching on XDA and also on reddit. I found multiple threads reporting that a generic no-check DLL file is the savior in this situation, but when I tried to run it I get continuous errors telling me the following: "CrossDL [D8012] to [LS-980]". Then i found this thread by cybertag on reddit which lead me to the right direction. It suggested to hex edit the .tot file for ls-980 so that the flash tool thinks that it is for D802. So I grabbed a hex editor and found the first mention of LS-980 and changed it to D802, saved the file and tried o flash it but it was still giving different errors. Then someone suggested it only works if you edit the .tot firmware in linux based OS. So i installed ubuntu OS on a virtual machine and tried editing the firmware in that OS using Bless Hex editor, still no success in flashing. Then I tried editing in pinguy OS but in vain. Then I found FlexHex for windows and used it for editing the LS980ZVC.tot firmware did the same thing, found the first mention of LS-980 and changed it to D802, saved the file, flashed it and bingo! the flash tool gave no error this time and flashed the phone successfully.
Now there was another problem. When the phone rebooted after flashing the firmware it got stuck on LG logo forever. And when I tried to boot it into download mode, the download mode was gone and it took me to fastboot mode. The phone was stuck in bootloop and there was no download mode anymore. Now after more searching i found a method to resolve this problem. Downloaded the aboot.img and laf.img partitons for LS980ZVC and flashed both using fastboot commands. Tried to boot into the download mode again and it worked and i was in download mode one again. When I checked the phone model was changed back to LS-980, the original one. Flashed the LS980ZVE firmware from original .tot file as it was the latest version available to date and it flashed without any error. When the phone rebooted after completing the flashing process, it was as good as new, up and running the original stock kitkat rom for this model. Tested and tried everything and never noticed any issue.
Thank you @tauheed that will help a lot of people I'm sure.
Thank reddit member cybertag out there to.

the only possible option is to flash the aboot.img and laf.img partitions. But we need to find a way to do so in your phone's current state. Things can be a lot easier if you could manage to get into fastboot mode.

I am the same problem as yours with another phone I have. It is a D800 which was wrongly flashed to D802. After flashing the D800 firmware with the model name edited, it is stuck on LG logo and it won't go to download mode either.
Not yet. I'm still waiting...total dead phone now.

Hello guys,
I upgraded my friend's recently purchased LG Optimus G.
I rooted the phone successfully with TWRP recovery.
I Unlocked the boot loader successfully.
I flashed a custom android 4.3 rom.
The phone was working absolutely fine.
Then, my friend took it home with him, and tried to flash another custom rom (He is a noob).
Now, after rebooting, the phone flashed the 'google' logo with a grey 'unlocked lock' icon and the screen goes blank.
I can not even figure out if the phone is on or not (the soft keys does not light up if I touch them).
After all, I tried to use the UNBRICK method using a guide but the problem is that the software won't proceed after extracting .KDZ file.
I tried downloading .KDZ file using the xda app which asks for phone model and serial number for the download, several times but no success.
I tried downloading the .KDZ file using a URL in which i have to write the IMEI number to get myself a download link. That shows corrupted too.
Can anybody help me to get a working KDZ file?? I think this will get me through the process.
OR
If there is any other possible way, please let me know.
Thanks in advance

1: Google logo plus unlock icon seems nexus device. May be he tried to convert it to nexus 4. I never tried it nor know if it requires any different way to get stock, so search.

Hey! I have done the download, used the update tool in CS_EMERGENCY mode, done with everything. now the phone is stuck on the LG logo..
I put it in recovery mode, and i used the wipe tool which was told in the guide, but the phone again stuck with a lying android bot with an exclamationary sign in a triangle.
What can I do next?
This happens.when you are not reading before. If you would do that,you would see that you need to perform a hard resetafter using kdz updater.
My advice,use the updater again and do a hard reset.on stock it's easy.

Don't know what guides you all are using
Only guide you need
1: get kdz 1.05 GB or less for your specific phone
2: using kdz flasher flash the kdz
3: if your phone boots goto backup and reset and do wipe. If not shutdown phone and do hard reset / wipe
4: root your phone And i mean just root your phone.
5: use freegee to unlock boot and get custom recovery. (If you want this)
Sent from my GT-P3100 using Tapatalk HD
U missed the hard reset!! Since kdz is dirty flashing!
This is so frustrating. I've downloaded kdz file so many times from 1.05Gb to a 0.98Gb, none gives a correct extraction in kdz update.
Hey all,
I restarted my phone yesterday and it was stuck in a boot loop for some reason. I tried to factory reset, but doing so still resulted in a boot loop. I then proceeded to attempt to flash stock, but the flash tool crashed while during the process. When I try to boot to download mode now, I get "Secure booting error, Error!: Boot Certifcation Verify". I know this also happens on the G2, and I know the process for fixing it. But when trying to use the same method with the G3, I can't access my filesystem from Linux. Any help? Thanks.

I was rooted before updating to lollipop, then tried to back dowk to KK with TOT and this happened, so I dont think I am rooted any more.
The better question is: do you have TWRP (custom recovery) installed? If you do, your phone can be fixed. If not, you are probably screwed.
Basically it sounds to me like your phone managed to flash the updated Android 5.0 bootloader but didn't update the LAF image (download mode). The old download mode doesn't work on the new bootloader, it gives the error you are experiencing.
Because you still have a LAF partition, and presumably a recovery partition (even if they are not working) you cannot access fastboot mode.
In other words, there may be no way to fix your situation.
As the hardware is fine there must be a method, but it might be something only LG can do.

I'm in the same situation now.
I was bumped with TWRP and CM12 installed. I wanted to unroot and go back to stock. Started a flash with LG flashing tool, but it was taking ages, so I unplugged the USB cable in the middle.
Now whenever I boot via either VolUp+USB or trying to get into a recovery I get secure boot error.
Is there a way to fix this ? Or do I need to send a phone to LG ?
This has happened to me today. Downgrading got stuck at 3%. LG Flash tool said to remove phone and plug back in. Any way to fix
Also, does anyone know if downgrading voids warranty or anything?

I didn't find a way to fix it, so I've just sent it to LG repair shop. They haven't yet looked at it so I don't know how much would it cost.
People just tell the service center that you were upgrading from KitKat to Lollipop when the problem happened
Evidence wise it support your claim since the OTA from KitKat to Lollipop overwrites the aboot, sbl, laf and recovery partitions and service center people ultimately cannot tell between failed OTA and a failed KDZ flash

solution for no download mode
Hi guys.
If you cant enter into download mode then you need to force your g3 in to qhsusb bulk mode by shorting the test point.
When you short battery must be removed.
After short your phone will be detected as qhsusb bulk mode.
Send me msg in pm for further help.
If u dont know the test point then let me know.

Hi all,
Long time user first time posting a thread [sorry couldn't help myself]
Anyway I have a LG G3 F400L and I accidentally installed D855 rom on to it [AndroidNow_HD_8.0_Lollipop].
I have tried flash tool to flash the correct firmware but to no effect it now detects it as D855, so I cant install the F400L firmware using the F400L dll. I am installing an older firmware i.s 10e I have also tried 20f for F400L but the new flash tool doesn't recognize my phone, I have tried different USB ports and a different PC with Windows 7 32bit still nothing.
I am using Windows 8.1 64bit.
Regards and thank you for the help.
Anyone, please help.

Thank you for the response. I do not have access to recovery, only download mode works.
Update: I have tried using a general Dll to flash TOT file via flashtool but it doesn't let me error CrossDl [D855] to [F400L].
I had this and I set for 4 hours figuring out how to fix it. ( I had not accsess to the download mode first only to hard reset which didn't work and the "Fastboot mode started")
If you have access to the Download mode that's perfect, Follow this Tut:http://lgg3root.com/lg-g3-root/how-to-unrootunbrick-lg-g3/
Please make sure you download the correct TOT file for your phone.

Thank you that did work sort of, I was doing the same thing but someone in the comments referred to a modded DLL for the flash which did the job to some extent at least.
Its back to stock but stuck at McAfee activation, requires a pin which I do not have nor have ever created one, and now a Kill switch has been engaged and no more download mode. Out of the fire into the frying pan is what I feel like right now 100hours and 33mins without my G3, but who is counting.
That's sucks where did the McAfee activation came from??
Have you tried a hard reset ? or can you access the fastboot mode again ?

Nothing, no download mode or recovery. Boots up asks for language selection and then McAfee pops up of PIN. I am talking to McAfee support hopefully they can help.
Goodluck with that!

Finally fixed. Just needed to be quick, the McAfee app gives you about 30 secs to do your thing then it pops up for pin. I opened up the McAfee app -> setting and changed the pin .
my phone is not working

more info is better than none, what did you do to "accidentally brick" your phone? and if you are stuck in download mode you could try the lg mobile support tool and re load the rom for your device.

READ completely, including the link in 4 before starting!!!
download the tool using the lg d851, under t-mobile. the tool is generic, and can be found at lg.com under support/downloads
1. install LG Mobile Support Tool
2. run Tool, it will query lg for updates and do so if needed.
3. Install USB Driver (dismiss if you have done so already)
4. follow this process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51268802&postcount=21 (use 5. below to put into download mode, not vol up and down like the link states)
5. with your device off, hold the volume up button while plugging in your USB cable with the Tool open.
6 you system will recognize the device and configure drivers, this will take a minute.
7. continue following the link in 4.

hey guys, don't ask for a different fix if you don't bother to explain how your phone got stuck in download mode. as for does this work? Why don't you try, it's the same tool used to upgrade firmwares instead of using OTA, and the link included shows how to get the tool to download the file (if it sees the same/current f/w it does not download the firmware) and you have nothing to loose, and this method is often used to recover from "soft bricking" your phone.
i was restoring my LG G3 to stock through the lg flash tool .....when i got through with it and restore was succesfull. somehow i forget the usb cable plugged through my pc usb port ...then connected my lg g4 that is where the flash tool got my Lg g4 on Downloade mode ....i tried all the methodes somehow i think the recovery is messed up .....i can get to the recovery through the button but it reboot straight to the download mode ....thanks every one for their support

don't think it's out yet, however my statement was somewhat incoherent. I meant to say if he had the kdz, he could use the flash tool to recover his phone.

Yea, at this point there no way to fix this without a kdz that I know of.
Call LG and tell them you need the kdz to restore your G4.
i was lucky, i had flashed twrp before my phone soft brick..
Sent from my unlocked and rooted LG-H815
I got an LG G4 which is stuck on lg screen. When I put it in download mode, it shows download mode for a few seconds and restarts. I was trying to flash ZVB over ZVD and it ended up like this. Model is ls991 . Any help would be really appreciated!
Anyone got any idea? The whole thing started with getting rid of the Genisys rom ... I did not like it ... I thought I was going to bring it back to the stock, but then LG Up wrote an unkown device ... I thought it was flash with lg bridge ... that's what I lost. .. has removed recovery and has stopped updating at 16% ... since then it is only download mode I tried to update but failed with all three programs ... LG up to start - unkown device, LG bridge stop at 16% , LG Falsh Tool 9% ... sorry for my english

Personally i don't really like flashify or any other similar apps.But as you are a beginner at all these follow this simple steps.
Can you boot your phone?
Try using the official App provided by TWRP
Go to Google Play Store and search Official TWRP app,download
Go to the application and select "TWRP Flash" option,after that select your device model and then select the latest TWRP version(3.0.2.0 or 3.0.3.0).
After all these click the bottom Download TWRP.
That's all.

I see that you have messed a lot with your system partitions.
I'll try to find something helpful.
Till then try checking if you can use system upgrade.(To go for example to lollipop while it may save your phone and also be able to flash the correct laf.img)
Question:After you finished the procedure on flashing the laf.img(for d851)(also you can flash the 10d laf.img as the OP said in the guide)did you pull the battery out and Boot to download mode(manually)?
How to get to Download Mode
yes i did try to boot into dl mode manually..

You also did pull the battery after flashing laf.img(10d) for D851 Model?
So... I think that after you tried doing all these and nothing worked, you'll be unable to get Download mode back,but let me check some of the system partitions and check if you can manually insert the laf.img file.
Somehow you can insert the laf file to your phone but it needs extracting (the laf.img) to get the proper file.
I found the location of the laf file.
But if anyone can be found with D851 can send the laf file here for you.
Two other solutions are:
1.Staying without dl mode? Maybe.
2.Buying a new motherboard.
