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.
I dont understand why this happens because i follow the rules exactly.
I was using MM with TWRP+Root.(Not kingroot or other, just SuperSu 2.52) I was flashed .zip file from Xda. I mean i was using L and after that .zip files pops out for MM, i just simply flash the MM zip file and got it worked.
After flashing kdz file with LGUP now my phone stuck at twrp. Now i stuck at twrp. I tried to restore my backup on external_sd but didn't work either. Any ideas?
LG Up can't wipe twrp , so tried flashing again with LG Flashtool with lastest driver.

I had same problem with it being stuck at 60% what I did was not to press cancel or unplug but pressed retry and it worked. Also change the language to English and the question marks will disappear.
As for the device disconnected issue i'm not sure how to solve that one you could try running flashtool in windows 7 compatible mode.

When can't go , I choose phonediag to CSEmergency flashing can finished.
I have use CSEmergency 3 times sucsessfully with CSE Flash and newest driver.
Solved my problem. The problem was using LGUP firmware to go back to stock. LGUP Doesnt work if you had root+twrp. Flashed kdz using the Lg Flash Tool 2014 ( I had really more problems when doing this but i made it.) Phone back to normal.
Today I was trying to install a custom rom, but I messed it up and had to reset it to stock rom.
After that I reseted it back to stock rom, I rooted my phone with Kingroot and used this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecd855 to install recovery. After that I powered off my phone and now it won't turn on. Already removed battery a plenty of times, when putting in the charger nothing happens, pc won't see it also.
The only moment when my phone lights up is when I remove my battery and put it in the charger, then it basically says that it's charging but with no battery in it. Also when removing the battery and connecting to my pc it only sees it as a unrecognizable device.
Suggestions on what I can do? IF not, poor me, gonna buy a new smartphone then.
Btw, I still have some garanty. Maybe it's worth sending it to the support services.

You used wrong autorec install LP recovery to MM. Download MM version autorec from LG G3 Xda forum. Try flash back to stock or something else. Instructions are in LG G3 Xda forum if you search more. Sorry.

Hmm, I was really sure that I used the right one.
Anyway, how can I flash it again if I can't even get the lg logo to show, neither get him in download mode or that my pc recognises him?
Btw, I still have some garanty. Maybe it's worth sending it to lg.
If you have no access to any recovery mode, Fastboot or download mode.then use the method of Qualcomm 9008.btw your warranty is void because you have rooted device and messed with it.

I also had same issue and I'm also sure that I used the correct Autorec version.
I sent the phone to LG because the warranty is still valid.

i remember after 1 day of having this phone this happened this was likely caused by having the latest boot loader i remember this because i fresh installed the marshmallow kdz after that i installed autorec mm it told me to restart and my phone died there, however after spending 8 hours straight i found a solution the smart boot diagnostics tool can write an older version of the boot loader understand that your phone must be in the qdloader9008 mode, if your PC doesn't detect the phone make sure you install the drivers in the zip from the download install the 32 bit if on 32 bit system or install 64 bit on 64 bit system. Hey if you need assistance on doing this Download team viewer and i'll be more than welcome to help unbrick our d855

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.

@GeekYagami
Check here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/how-to-hard-unbricked-lg-g3-variants-t3394575
It discusses the mode you seem to be in.
Hey guys
First, a little bit of history:
I own a G6 now, so I wanted to have some fun with my G3.
I rooted it (LGOneClickRoot), installed TWRP, installed LineageOS 14.1 and everything went pretty well.
The problem was that LineageOS 14.1 is terrible, huge lags, tons of bugs, so I tried installing another ROM through TWRP, I don't know what I messed up but I messed up and the flash failed. I dont remember exactly what I tried to flash after that but I failed again and then classic --> Stucked on LG boot logo, no recovery mode, no download mode, nothing.
So I used the popular fix for hardbricked G3, creating a short between test point and ground while connecting it to revive him, and it worked. I went with the whole procedure in BoardDialg and stuff. Kinda surprised by myself that I didnt go full-panic mode creating tons of threads everywhere lol, I managed to make it work even if it took me something like half a day of learning and work.
Now I'm back to stock Android 4.4.2, rooted with LGOneClickRoot again and everything is fine.
I mean... Almost everything is fine, because now I want to be able to install Magisk, and I found that Magisk is for Android 5+.
So there are some informations I need to gather before going further and risk a brick again (please no more short on the motherboard lol):
1- Can I flash a stock Lollipop ROM with LG Flash Tool in download mode using CSE Flash ? Is it a proper way to do it or do I really need to go through this boring TWRP recovery flashing again ?
2- where can I find such a ROM (stock Lollipop for d855) ? And which version to chose ? v20a, v20e, v20f, v20h, v20i, v20p, v20t, v20u, v20w or v21a ? I've been looking for hours now, hard to find reliable informations about all different versions.
Thanks for the read, I hope someone can help me
UPDATE:
I flashed a Lollipop v20f with LG Flash Tool and it's working fine.
I heard that after v20f, newer versions were "harder" to root so I sticked with v20f.
I'm gonna play around with Magisk now and see how it goes.
I'm in the same boat. I also went back to 4.4.2 via TOT. The I rooted and installed TWRP. how I want to restorel my RR 5.8.5 from a TWRP backup. My question is to I have to install the 35B bootstack before or after the restore or at all?
Hi,
Upgrade (LGFlashtool + CSE flash) to V30B
Follow this post ==>
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-twrp-marshmallow-d855-30b-t3286268
Then you can install custom Rom ou upgrade to stock V30N (with root : there is a post about it)
Hey how did you do the unbrick process? I stuck at flashing kdz eventhough i have correct dll and drivers installed
hi,
Try LGUP instead of LGFlashtool (download mode and type *.kdz + select kdz file in LGUP)
Depends if you're hardbricked or softbricked. I was hardbricked so I had to create a bridge between 2 points on the motherboard and reflash everything one by one. I formated recently and didnt keep all these things but I can get into it again to try to help you.
EDIT: LGFlashTool isn't enough if you're hardbricked, you'll have to use other tools and open your phone. First step is identify if you're softbricked or hardbricked, google it you'll find your answer
Mine was hardbricked. I use shorting test point method and successfully flashing partition. Then I flash kdz using LG flash tool 2014, my phone stuck on boot logo. Then I do factory reset. Still same. Last option, I use LG UP. It stuck on LAF info with number on it. Is my LAF file damaged?
Hi,
With Boarddiag try this :
1-EMMC TEST Option "erase" ;
2- then Restore theses partitions and reboot in download mode and flash Kdz.

2)Aboot
