I softbricked my LS980 and cannot escape fastboot. Assistance Requested. topic

Had a problem with audio playback (volume always high no matter what). Decide to flash. PAC for my Sprint LS980. I see this:

Seems to be a lot of confusion so I'll clear things up.. ZV7->ZV8->ZVA is how the ota history goes, with ZVB on the way. If you're on stock ZVA, your aboot (bootloader) may not be downgraded, in that case, use FreeGee from Play Store to install a recovery, it will automatically downgrade your aboot. if you have the ZVA Radio, just flash furnace or dr87's kernel after you flash an AOSP ROM, all done.

Seeing the last sentance, I think that if I flash ZVA Radio, SlimKat ROM (the one that causes me problems) and then the zv7aboot I could try a ZVA experience. I flashed SlimKat again becuase I was going to change anyway, I wanted to try it with ZVA.

Tell myself why not, I do it.

Fails but I didnt pay much attention. I reboot.

Stuck in fastboot mode and cant escape. Recovery is a no-go.

Tried flashing both ZV7aboot.img and twrp2.6.3.0.img into their appropriate partitions (boot and recovery).

Still having problems, but now I cant do any button combination (except DownloadMode. Cant turn off) after ZV7aboot.img flash.

I dont want to erase my memory (~26GB of valuable data). Is there a way to flash a ZV8Radio.zip from fastboot? I think thats my problem, but Im not too sure. Just access to recovery would allow my to fix my problems.


Thanks anyone for any help! I think I really screwed myself over this time. Thanks everyone!
