With a bit more details...
ADB will work when it's off and charging but the shell root is segfaulting. The build.prop file is named as a backup file with the original missing. LG's ed software doesn't support the phone plus the program won't allow an upgrade on top of the existing version.
The Recovery Phone option won't work because anytime I put in the IMEI it complains with "Check Your Phone Information". Basically I've had enough. If LG just wants to make their money by making you buy a new phone then they can go to hell.
