I recently rooted my lg optimus v, using gingerbreak, and for some reason a few days later I wanted to factory reset my phone. Well im new to this stuff, I didnt know factory reseting would mess it up. Well now, when I turn it on, it just shows the LG logo, then goes black until I remove the battery. I tried some methods on these forums, but no use so far. I can`t enter that recovery mode thing, my screen just goes black, and I can`t seem to work out adb. Please, can someone help me out? I had android 2.2, with what some people are saying has the "newer screen". I`ve searched all over but can`t find a solution. I also tried kdz, but cant find the optimus v kdz file. Is there a way to fix it, please, someone help me out. I`m not sure if I want to buy a new phone right now.
 
I've requested that your thread be moved to the All Things Root section so that someone can better assist you.

Don't do anything with your phone until someone replies and can help you.
 
No, I never really new how to do that, I just used gingerbreak for the basic rooting benefits like the wifi tether app, but I never did those custom recovery stuff
 
Thanks :) I got my phone working again, but with all the LG Optimus s things. Unfortunally, I can`t root my phone. Gingerbreak won't finish after like an hour. A good thing is that I had an update later that gave me android 2.3.3 without that flashing stuff. Is there another way to root my phone?
 
The answer is yes you can root, with what I can't remember. Check with Phatninja55 he will know for sure.
 
Another thing is that my phone has SW version LS670ZVJ, and on google I found that there isnt a direct way to root that version. Is there another way?

That's very confusing. I Googled that and everything I see is for the LG Optimus S and it getting Gingerbread. This was back in April, according to news articles.

How's he getting that on the V?
