Stuck in Fastboot

Hi,
My phone is stuck in fastboot loop. I cant turn it off or restart to recovery. I've tried everything i could find on the web, but no result.
ADB is not recognizing the phone properly. The same as MiFlash. I've tried dozen of Miflash version and either they crash or have that message.
Pictures:
Miflash error
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Fastboot and adb dont recognize the phone:
What are the other steps, what can i try? Is there a Miflash that works?
try this,
1) download platform tools folder
2) download fastboot rom 12.0.2 i.e .TGZ file
3) extract platform tools (u will find one folder inside named "platform tools"
4) extract TGZ file
5) copy all extracted tgz files in that "platform tools" folder.
6) connect device.
7) double click on "flash all.bat" file
8) done

I've tried it, after clicking flash all, command prompt window flashes (too fast, i cant see the content of the window) and closes. Nothing changes...
Image of platform tools folder with fastboot rom inside:
1. Open command prompt.
2. Navigate to the directory which contains flashall.bat.
3. Now run flashall.bat from command prompt.
With this you can see the error.
Advise: Check your path and see if any folder has a space in the name. Remove the spaces from the folder names.

[ROOT][VS835] How to root LG Stylo 2 Verizon

Rooting the LG Stylo 2 (Verizon) VS835
credits to hovatek for mtksu, diplomatic for mtksu and suboot, & topjohnwu for Magisk
Needed...
1. Init.d Support Script apk
2. mtk-su_r23.zip
3. Magisk-v18.1.zip
4. MagiskManager-v7.1.1 apk
5. suboot.zip
6. magisk-update-block.txt
DISCLAIMER: I'm not at fault if you f&#$ your phone up.
I'm using a computer to do this procedure, if you want to rework this to be done without a PC be my guest. It is possible without a PC. I just seen people needed root for this device, I happen to own the device, and figured i'd be nice and give back to the same community that taught me android development for years...
STEP 1:
Connect to PC in file transfer (MTP) mode. and make a new folder on the device root directory called init.d
STEP 2:
Extract the suboot.zip file and locate suboot.sh you need to place this file inside init.d
Now you need to create another folder named bin (inside the first folder you made)
STEP 3:
Extract mtk-su_r23.zip and inside the arm folder is a file called mtk-su this file needs to go into the bin folder
Extract Magisk-v18.1.zip and inside the arm folder place ONLY magiskinit inside the same bin folder
if you did this correctly your files should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
*note* you DO NOT need to put the magisk-update-block.txt inside the init.d folder. That's just where i placed it. You only need the URL for the next step.
STEP 4:
Now from the phone install MagiskManager-v7.1.1.apk DO NOT LET IT UPDATE
Open MagiskManager and goto settings > update channel > custom
and paste this URL from the magisk-update-block.txt or from below
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/841e978604f989d04549013cd4dcc7e34aea5288/stable.json
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now you'll see that Magisk Manager thinks it is already up to date.
STEP 5:
Install the init.d scripts support apk provided.
* tick/checkmark on "Run scripts at boot time"
* Set Execution Delay to "No Delay"
* For Selected Folder set it the init.d folder you made, and then click save at the top right.
It will say 2 script files in this folder if done correctly
** NOW scroll down and click "Run scripts now"
It's free version so watch an ad... after 2 ads it will grant you pro access for 24 hours.
** Again click "Run scripts now"
You'll see "Show last execution results" appear below the "Run scripts now".
Your results should look like this.
Use root checker to confirm...
Thats it. Enjoy.
