Oops! Erased laf_b - QFil no longer sees GPT table.

I'm stuck in 9008 mode. The bootloader was unlocked but I couldn't get into fastboot to install TWRP and Lineage OS, so I ended up trying to erase laf_a and laf_b like it says to do in the V40 Qfil guide. Big mistake. Qfil and windows both recognize it as a 9008 device on Com3, but can't access the partitions. Basically I managed to accidentally erase laf_b from QFIL and this has corrupted my GPT. Now the QFIL partitioner can't see my partitions. Can you help? I may need a flat pack or something?

I got out of 9008 mode. I had to completely re-write the partitions using qfil. Now I'm on 20e and Pie, but my IMEI reads 0. Drat. Apparently it's forbidden to discuss it - so.... guess I'm out of luck.

I got the same error as you when accidentally deleted the partition of LG G7. Now the phone stops at 9008. How can you get out of 9008, please guide me. Thank you very much!
