This is strange indeed, fastboot certainly works and recognizes your phone but no serial number is displayed rather a ?
Makes me think there is an issue with bootloader but being I've never used your device before I can only guess this isn't normal
Fastboot doesn't have a direct method to boot to recovery so when entering the fastboot reboot recovery command it will just try to boot into os
Can you link where you got the twrp.img from? Something seems wrong as it could be meant for another device, if stock recovery flashes so should twrp
Also what happens when you just boot the stock recovery? Does it stick around or disappear quick? fastboot boot stockrecovery.img

I don't remember the exact destination of where I got twrp. It was on xda somewhere and i renamed the file. I am almost 100 % positive it was for my phone, could be wrong though. When I did boot into stock recovery (with hard reset, didn't try any other way) got the little android guy for 5-10 sec. and then to fast boot. Never actually went into recovery. The reason this all started was from accepting the ota update. I was on jb rooted with io root method. Took ota and then would only boot into twrp recovery. Instead of patience I thought i could fix it myself. I eventually ended up trying to load this ROM onto my phone and was having problems with the zip file(it wasn't named the same as what it was on my computer after flashing). Rebooted and it didn't seem that it worked. So I tried again.The second time I tried I didn't flash the second part, so now my phone thinks it is D-800, it is VS 980. Maybe I just need to flash all new partitions to the phone. Will that work? I have them for 12b (latetest build I was running before screw up) I just want to get back to stock and take update. My last two phones were Motorola (OG and Bionic), they seemed much easier to deal with than this LG. Love the phone though. I tried using fastboot to boot into stock recovery. The recovery file i have is a .bin file got it from here. The attatched is what my phone looked like when trying to boot the recovery file from fastboot. Got that screen for a few seconds, then just black screen.
