I flashed e988 kdz rom on my e980. Now the phone's internal storage is no longer accessible. I tried to flash back the e980 rom which was in tot format. But lg flash tools comes up with an error saying wrong dll or file.
The phone's model number shows as E988 as well
Please help

I wiped user data from recovery mode. On restarting it went back into recovery mode. That was the original issue because of which I had to flash the rom. Couldn't flash the rom for e980 so ended up flashing e988 and since then I do not have access to recovery or even the internal storage of my phone. :(

Managed to flash CENTRAL AMERICA E980H kdz firmware on my e980AT.
I can access internal memory now, but only 10.1G is available. But this is good enough to root and install cwm recovery. I am looking for a kdz file for e980 as I am unable to install the tot file using the LGE980_20130314_LGFLASHv151.dll file. If anyone had a cwm or twrp installer for e980at. That will help.

After flashing CENTRAL AMERICA E980H kdz, I was able to see 10.01gb internal memory on my phone. Then I rooted my phone (root for e980 as well as e988 work at this time). Then I installed Android Model Changer from playstore. Then made the following changes
Phone Model: LG-E980
Phone Name: geefhd_att_us
Device: geefhd
Manufacturer LGE
Brand: lge

and then saved the settings.
I downloaded the v10G firmware for e980 and flashed it with lg flash tools. Now my phone is back to normal
