Okay i figured id just post this here to see if there might be anything at all left i can do before i give up and go buy another phone.
Background-
Had the phone for like 2 weeks now, and read up on all the ways to root it. Said screw that, don't feel like doing all that crap, so i just downloaded gingerbreak and rooted it with that. that worked and i had root access on my phone. i read in other places from people who had done this, that when they try to get adb access or anything like that, their pcs (or adb or whatever) reports back access denied, and super one click says that its not rooted. ive had these problems and i also couldnt get a temp shell root either. weird.
Therefore i couldn't i use that to try and install a custom recovery and install roms nd such.
So what i did was download rom manager from the market nd install cwm and everything went good. they even had the optimus v listed under their supported phones. when everything was done it rebooted into a black screen. to clarify, it showed the lg logo and then a black screen and thats it. had to pull the battery to restart. SO, up to that point, had a phone that had an effed up recovery, can't use adb (always get access denied), and no other way i could find to try to install a custom recovery that would actually work on my phone. i been to get fed up and frustrated and decided to do something stupid. (hell i didnt know what would happen....)
i used the factory reset from android settings and when the phone rebooted, never came back again.
all it does now is turn on, show lg logo and then go to a black screen. and it doesnt do that thing that ive read about where the lg logo is flashing along with the hard keys. just a black screen and must do a battery pull to get it to turn off.
tried fastboot root, but that didnt work because it wont find my device in its bricked state i guess.
the one last thing i tried, or thought about trying was KDZ updater. but the more i read about that the faster i found out that it doesnt work.
So, please anyone if you know have any other way to get out of this, please let me know, would be very grateful not to have to shell out another 150 lol. thanks a lot!
