Root Bricked from factory restore

Well you guys have seen these post countless times but what is the easiest way to unbrick the optimus v? i used Gingerebreak to root it but i did a factory restore not knowing it would brick it and now it just shows the LG logo and goes black and no home+up vol+power work or any of that, it does recognize and reset when i do "adb reboot bootloader" but does not go into a bootloader screen or anything.

any ideas to fix the phone?

Good luck. I have to go to school -_-
 
Hold volume down +home +volune button until you are in recovery mode, then select factory reset with home key, then reboot.

Still no go, when i try that (and i already have before) It shows the LG logo and goes away quickly and stays on a blank screen.
 
Is it stuck in a stock recovery or a custom recovery?

i once fixed a bricked OV that was factory reset after running gingerbreak but this one was bricked after a failed custom recovery flash idk if you have tried this what i did was install a older version or clockwork with boot loop fix and flash it over threw commands from ADB i was able to successfully flash a custom recovery from ADB maybe try going back to stock or custom recovery manually from ADB
 
I ended up just social engineering one of the virginmobile reps to ship me a replacement phone so i dont have to do all that stuff to unbrick it :) and this new replacement has a different android version too 2.2.3
