PLEASE help!!! optimus s wont go to recovery and wont boot

Dude, I have zero experience with fixing a rom manager brick. I have been trying to offer assistance, I have been just hoping someone else might be able to offer assistance. Perhaps it might get more notice in the rom manager brick thread.
Edit: Okay I found some screenshots of that recovery here. http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/
What I want you to try is to do a wipe data/factory reset from recovery, though I know you cannot see it. Try booting into recovery even though it will be a black screen. Do that and give it 30 seconds to get there, hit the vol down key twice then the settings key. Then vol down 7 times and settings key again. Give that 5 minutes to work then hit the settings key again. In theory that will perform the data wipe and try to boot into your rom. If that doesnt work, pull the battery and try substituting the settings key all times for the home key.
And if that doesnt work, I would throw it in a bucket of water for an hour and take to sprint and say it doesnt work LOL

androidscreencast - Desktop app to control an android device remotely - Google Project Hosting this should help you seen the screen. I used it when I reverted to zv9 with the newer screen (no drivers for the newer screens and older basebands).

Whoop whooooooooooooo! 
I fixed it! Thank you to everybody for your help. If anyone needs it I would be sure to return the favor!

We are always glad to help, but we do get tired of trying to help rom mangler bricks and lord knows there are alot of them.
If you don't want to do a true guide, no prob. Give us a list of what exactly was wrong, what worked and what did not. Myself or someone else can turn it into a help guide. That rom manager sticky is of very little help to fix the problem.

Just pull you battery, boot to recovery and perform a wipe date/factory reset from recovery. That should fix you.

Well, ladies and gentlemen i have succesfully bricked my optimus s every thinkable way.....BUT iv found a way to unbrick it every time! 
. I will soon do a guide or something on how to unbrick a optimus s. It might take a while though, as thier are many ways to brick it, but i have the unbrick method for every one! Tested and up to date.

Since no one mentioned both ways you bricked your opti s have been stickied on the rooting, roms , and hacks sections of the forum just for future reference you might want to look at them. So it doesn't happen again.
