Greetings. I have a lg v20 us996 and the problem is this. After flashing it with lgup UPPERCUT_1.0.0.0, now the phone reboots into fastboot mode. I have given factory reset and I have flashed another filmware of the same model and still the same. I turn it off by removing the battery and when I connect it to the computer or the home charger, it lights up in fastboot mode. any solution. Thank you

When that happened to me I had to send it in for factory warranty repair. Their diagnosis was faulty ram. Phone came back unrooted and I really don't know if I should try to reinstall TWRP and root. I get the message that the phone cannot be checked... when I boot up, which leads me to believe the bootloader is still unlocked. I miss TWRP and root REAL BAD so will probably give it a try but am not brimming with confidence.

Greetings. In my case it was not root and no installation of twrp. It was after flashing of the filmware that I left in fastboot mode. Now does not boot and gets stuck in fastboot mode

This happened to me when trying to update my old LG K10 through LG Bridge and it failed. After it installed the update properly, it booted normally. I think it's a flag that LGUP or UPPERCUT fails to reset, so the phone thinks it's still waiting to install the update through LG Bridge's Update Error Recovery.

You just saved my xmas! :D

I think the reason it works is because the partition layout is redone because the partition layout is different. So it has to be re-written which is what needed to be done to fix the issue. The Korean F800 version has a different partition layout as well so that prolly would work too, which I actually had before I downloaded the H915.

This also fixed the issue I was having in the first place that made me chip erase which didn't work. But now I know what's going on, writing a fresh partition table can solve many issues which doesn't happen when crossflashing variants that have the same partition layout.
