Optimus V....Did I brick

[adamhos]

hello newbie here,
I rooted my optimus v using gingerbreak 1.2. Created back up with ROM manager. tried to flash with BACKside and when booting it freezes at the point i believe is right before lockscreen. it says Before you Flash Always Backup, with an android flashing me. so i tried to reboot pressing the down vol / home and power and LG flashes and goes to a black screen, i also tried with the battery out holding the cam and back button while plugging in charger, i cannot seem to access any recovery menu. Is there anything else i can try?

Thanks in advance for the replies

Well first off your posting in the wrong forum. So maybe a mod can move it to the OV root roms and hack section.

Second your phone is repairable. There have been may in the same boat your in now. Please check out the optimus v rooting roms and hacks section there are at least 2 unbrick guides that can help you. Please Read the reference guide in the stickies. There is a link to what to do if rom manager has bricked your phone. Bottom line you made a huge mistake using rom manager....... We can help though

Dont worry like I said it's entirely fixable. Just might take a little to get it going again and you might learn something in the process.
