stuck in fasboot mode on vs980 and need help,badly.

You have to use the fastboot function of the SDK to flash aboot and boot and then you can fastboot boot laf in order to restore download mode. At that point you can use LG Flash Tools to flash a tot (stock firmware).

^^Not open recovery. Aboot, boot, and laf is what you need to be dealing with. There's some like threads in our G2 root forums you can refer to for even more specific details on the procedure.

LGE AndroidNet was download mode working (though screen was black which happens sometimes). Unfortunate we lost that with the reboot.

All you can do is long hold power for 15-20 seconds to turn off. You really should get back fastboot mode. If you don't at that time, then short of trying to re-issue the fastboot boot laf.img with a black screen...I'm out of ideas.
