Help BOOST LS660/TRIBUTE [SOLVED]

jakckson

Lurker
Hello
i have a bricked lg tribute(ls660) i got it free from a friend saying it was bricked and it sure is.
booting the phone gets stuck at lg screen for 30-120sec then fastboot starts. Showing text in top left of screen
So i was like ok go into download mode and get a kdz or tot. I got a tot file and went into download mode and lo and behold download mode doesnt work and also boots to fastboot.
I booted the boot.img from the ZV6 update and the phone actually booted with a corrupt android
The os suddenly crashed and went back to fastboot and booting boot.img works but the os bootloops.

So my issue is i cant flash ANYTHING, doing so returns a error. However, booting imgs works sometimes.
I cant boot a twrp.img. I cant flash a update.zip. I cant really find a laf.img because tghe phones obscurity.
Its on stock recovery which cant mount the external sd card giving error invalid argument.
I think if i can flash a android or something like that i can use the boot.img and in android i can flash a twrp.
Trying fastboot oem unlock shows succeded on CMD but on status of phone bunch of errors.

Im guessing bad ota update?

Bad boot.img? bootloop android, Half working fastboot that cant flash or boot certain imgs. Broken downlaod mode, Recovery mode that cant read sd cards.

Any help? Sorry for running on but i want to explain as much as i can and if im in the wrong thread or thread type plz correct me. Attached image isnt the phone i have but exact same error

Hello, i have solved my own problem. It seems the TWRP image i was trying to boot wasn't correct. Attached is the correct TWRP image. For anyone else in this predicament where they are stuck in fastboot mode and a corrupt download mode. You can either boot the attached TWRP OR Download mode (laf.img) I reccomend booting the TWRP and nuking the ENTIRE onboard storage THEN booting download mode through fastboot and flashing the .tot i have included in link below

(Change the extension for the attached recovery_bumped.zip to recovery_bumped.IMG , i cant upload .imgs?)
I also ran into a problem when flashing the TOT with the lg flash software. when it reached 100% and rebooted it was stuck at a blue screen saying factory reset status 2 and after a while the flash software said failed here is a link on how to fix it because the phone is actually flashed 100%

You may boot into a diagnostic type of thing if this is the case just try to navigate through the menu to boot it there is a option to boot
Unfortunately, i dont have this phone anymore because the lcd freaked out so i cant help anyone but i do have past knowledge so ask away and ill see what i can do
