Help Bricked phone boots ONLY with Flash partitions recreated on SD Card

[vertc]

Hi,
somehow I managed to hard brick my phone. After I connect it to my PC it shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB Qdloader 9008 with no other devices (I can't access the memory).

So I managed to use my External SD Card to boot up my phone (I flashed loader.img file to it). Next I used it to install stock ROM using LG Flash Tool. Everything seems to be working fine expect if I remove my SD Card the phone doesn't boot - it shows as the Qualcomm device with no signs of life. Basically the SD Card gives it life.

So I tried:
Extracted files from the stock .kdz firmware and used fastboot to erase & flash:
boot.img, aboot.img, laf.img, recovery.img etc.
Still no success.

Shouldn't flashing a ROM basically replace and fix all partitions? It doesn't seem to do that. Maybe I need to change some settings in the LG Flash Tool?

I suppose maybe if I managed to clone all partitions from my SD Card to the internal memory it would be fixed BUT I don't know how to access it since they don't show up.

Can anyone help me?

Hi,
I have a similar problem, could you please share loader.img file you've used to bring the phone to life? I've found some on the internet, but both result in kernel panic error when I try to boot to download mode.
thx
