No Recovery and Download Mode - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I bought a used LG G3. It's running on KitKat and software version is D85510i. It had stock recovery installed but download mode was missing. Whenever I entered the download mode, it said "fastboot mode started". I can't find the laf.img for D85510i and the ones for 30B/20E/etc don't work (I tried flashing them with fastboot). So I thought of installing custom recovery. I came to know about bump! TWRP. This phone was already rooted with latest su binary installed. I downloaded flashify and flashed bumped twrp after taking backup of stock recovery. But when I rebooted into recovery, it said "fastboot mode started" and somehow, stock recovery.img got deleted. Now my phone just boots into system and recovery/download mode don't work. I even tried flashing bumped twrp with fastboot and adb as well.
1. Can someone explain why twrp isn't booting and help me flash it?
2. Can someone provide me the laf.img for D85510i? I don't wanna download the whole firmware to install just a small laf.img. if someone has the stock D85510i.kdz, can you please extract laf.img from it?
3. Moreover, the housing says D851, while sticker under the battery and in setting, says it's D855. The IMEI on the sticker under battery and the IMEI of the phone also match. So is it possible that the housing is just changed or is there any chance that someone successfully flashed a D855 firmware on D851 and now I'm having issues with recovery and download mode because of that?

Need urgent help for 3 big problem on my lg g3

I had some issue with twrp and it got stuck on The teamwin screen. So I restore lg os using the lg flash tool. After I update it to lollipo and install autorec d852 lollipop so I can install twrp. It install succesfully. I went on twrp and the problem started. It was stuck on it. I decided to get into fastboot mode by removing download mode ( I have a back up of it) and I did these following commends
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot flash recovery cyanogenmod 12.1 recovery for d852..
I flash the cyanogenmod recovery so I could install a aosp. I install cm13 and it damage my micro SD card. I finally fix it . After I flash blisspop because it was limited the customization of cm13 compare to other aosp roms. Once finish setting up everything on my internal storage, I tried flashing again twrp by auto rec ... It didn't work , so I tried flashify but it also got stuck on teamwin screen and I could access anything option. I started looking online if someone had experience something similar but no one had this type of problem that after doing a full reset and reinstalling it, it wouldn't work. So I went on fastboot mdoe ( I don't know how to get download mode back so I stuck in fastboot mode instead of download mode ) and did the previous comments that I did to flash cyanogenmod and I flash the cyanogenmod recovery because I need a working recovery. Since then I have been trying to fix the teamwin screen problem.
I NEED HELP WITH MY 2 PROBLEMS.
-I can't find a way to enter download mode again
- Can't get twrp to work
Someone help me please

Recovery mode is'nt working anymore!! NEED HELP !!

Hi, I'm new to android rooting and flashing stuffs. I have Asus Zenfone 2 16gb version.
My frnd rooted my device and installed superSU (something like that) but the xmod app was not working, so my frnd gave me this Kingo root apk he told me that it will work. so I installed that kongo root..it says some files needed to be fix, so I presses ok..after the prosecco is done, I reboot my phone..but it stuck in loading. after that I'm finding solution to boot it back normally. I tried flashing new firmware which I downloaded from the asus website, but It failed in 48%, some one told me to flash TWRP recovery, so I flash TWRP recovery from adb sideload, after that I was not be able to go in recovery mode. I press for recovery mode...my phone restarts and again loads the fastboot or bootloader screen. after that I tried to flash other recovery image. but still I cant go in recovery mode. PLEASE HELP!!
You should not flash custom recovery with a lock bootloader. Unlock your bootloader first.
You dont sideload a recovery img. Go to bootloader, then enter this adb command
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery image) .img
PS. Xmod dont work on intel based android processor. Correct me if Im wrong, Ive read that a long time ago.

[H815] I think I screwed up my phone's software

Edit:
I installed some LG Drivers from a root article and now the phone is recognized. I can update to V20G and test it again, hope it works!
Hello!
I was running CM14.1 on my LG G4 and a few days ago I decided to install a new update but from within the phone itself. Sadly, it just rebooted to the recovery and didn't install anything. And from there, it always rebooted into the recovery no matter what I did. I also did a full wipe and installed CM14.1 clean but it still rebooted to the recovery and didn't want to go past that. I made a Reddid thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/cyanogenmod/comments/5gcap3/g4_h815_cm_141_help_i_cant_boot_outside_of/.
So I got help with that - I got into Download Mode and flashed the stock software via LGUP. Sadly, after I did this, I can no longer install a custom recovery. The phone is not rooted and LGUP and LG Bridge don't recognize the device anymore and the phone says there isn't a new update available but it's on the 5.1 stock ROM.
Whenever I flash the TWRP image via fastboot and I reboot into recovery, it doesn't boot into TWRP but it boots into some kind of other fastboot mode. And I've tried to issue `fastboot boot twrp-x-x-x.img` but it fails to do so and shows `FAILED (remote: dtb not found)`.
Is there a way to fix this so I can flash CM again?
Thanks in advance!

The bootloop to recovery is a known issue of one the December nightlies of CM 14. Head over to the CM thread and search for bootloop and twrp. They provided a solution to solve this too.
Besides that: which twrp version do you tried to fastboot? H811 or h815? Taken from the official download site?

twrp-3.0.2-1-h815.img, H815 as the title says and from the official website as I've always done. As for the thread - I don't have TWRP and I can't even flash it as I've written in my post. That's what I'm struggling with.
Edit:
I installed some LG Drivers from a root article and now the phone is recognized. I can update to V20G and test it again, hope it works!

Help!! Full wiped LG G4

Hi. Im new to rooting and on the attempt to install lineageos, i got stock in full wipe.
First i unlocked my bootloader and then installed twrp. everything went well so far, but in twrp i made the mistake of doing a full wpe. now i dont know how to boot into custom recovery, if it even still exists on my phone. i also tried the lg flash tool, but i always get the connection to server error. would be really gratefull if someone would help me out. thxs
so... you don't tried enter to recovery via key-combo? (Vol Down+Power).
If you can enter to Download Mode, try to flash a KDZ with LGUP.
I can't flash kdz because lgup not recognized the device because i flashed a old marshmallow system on my lg4 with v30 port ..any help

Try connecting to your phone in Android SDK/Platform Tools.
Type adb reboot recovery and see if it will boot into TWRP. If it works, you have choices to restore a backup or flash a new rom.
If it doesn't boot into TWRP, make sure your TWRP recovery.img is in the same folder and try re-installing by typing fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img (using the file name of your TWRP image).
