Root HELP ($25 bounty) - I've hosed my Optimus V

So I had successfully installed Android BACK on my Optimus after rooting (SuperOneClick) and installed third party ROM...everything was going fine. I began to have problems, phone ringing but not presenting me with an option to answer. I tried upgrading to a new version of BACK, however, after install, com.android.phone permissions were revoked. It asked if I wanted to reinstate privilges, click the button for yes and it comes right back two seconds later. SO...I though I'd be smart and flash the Vrecovery...did't help. Then I thought, well, lets reset/wipe user data...no help. Here is were I'm at...

No custom ROM
No Root
Stock Android Recovery 3e

Factory reset with error mentioned above still present

ADB will boot bootloader but phone isn't recognized

Current file structure if it helps

Here's what I've tried...

downloading new BACK, and changing name to update.zip (didn't work, signature invalid)

Using ADB for anything other than reboot bootloader isn't working due to windows not recognizing it as an LGVM670 phone???

I admit my stupidity. Now that we have that out of the way...how screwed am I?

Hello,

You PM'd me with this issue. I'm glad to see that you posted it here. It's the right place for it. I encourage the folks here to take a shot at it.

I know I am not helping, but all the best to you, m8. I am very new to all this also, and this is pretty much my 'Sum of all Fears" lol. My phone is my life and I cannot replace it if it decides to do a Murphy's Law on me. Hope all these experienced modders can get you out of trouble.
 
you're not totally screwed, just somewhat.
you'll need to flash with fastboot.
asadullah has a nice walkthrough on fastboot and instructions to flash just recovery or recovery+ROM (I advise the second since you lost root.)
sorry to cross-forum post but asadullah's work isn't mine and so I'm not reposting it directly.
once you get your root and a decent recovery back you can move on to trying to flash another ROM.
