Was stuck in CW recovery. Tried to update back to C to then downgrade back to B. While in the process of upgrading back to C my phone fell and now it's stuck on the LG Update screen. Any suggestions?

EDIT: On the LG Support Tool it shows the country and the version but not the model.
 
First I would of just flashed the exit recovery file.

Try this:
Turn the phone off
Press and hold the volume down key + power/lock key When the screen displays LG logo, release the keys Connect your phone to PC using the USB cable

That should put you in what they call emergency download mode. (If it still works after flashing)

Or when I updated my bricked phone I didn't even turn it on. Just pluged it in off and the charge screen came on and I updated it with it off like that.

Yeah I thought about flashing the file after reading your Thread but I was stuck in the bootloop and I couldnt mount my SD =\

EDIT: I tried your suggestions, none of them work =( Still getting the LG Update screen when I hold down the volume down + power keys. Tried plugging it in off and the same screen popped up again.
 
You will have to flash in lgnspt again. Press and hold volume up and power and you should enter emergency mode. When in emergency mode you can then connect and flash.

I did what you said and when its plugged in I still see the download is in progresss screen. I opened LGNPST and it detected the phone in phonebook recovery mode. it asks for a .dll and a PB file. I located the revolution .dll and tried using the stock zvb.tot for the pb file and got a error saying phone too old or connection problems.

make sure you are using the Lab version of LGNPST. It should be linked in the LGNPST thread, if not hollar and I can link you to it. ;)

Yeah I tried using the Lab version, didn't work. Ended up going to class late today trying to find fixes but anyway I took it to a metro store and they replaced it for $10.89.

They had given me a refurb after bricking my first esteem. A day later the refurb would reboot at least 15 times a day. went back today and they gave me a NEW one. It came with ZVC. I was wondering if I would be able to downgrade back to B with no issues since it came with C.
