Root New VM720 Bricked, No Boot

Hi all, and thanks in advance for any help received. Long story short I just bought a VM LG Optimus F3 and bricked it within an hour. Im not new to rooting, but not Dev-level either, I prepared the folders and files necessary while I waited for the phone to be delivered. Ran a root tool but it only rooted the device, no recovery partition was changed or flashed, and on rebooting into recovery, brick. Just FYI, RomToolbox told me I had TWRP installed.

With different forums and information posted I've tried entering DL Mode, running the Flash Tool, and ADB'ing the phone ( debugging Was selected prior to my screw up), but the most I get is a colored Home button sometimes. Help PLEASE.. thanx!

Also on Win10 x64

*The attachments are just PC Screenshots. I was able to install the LGE Android Serial Driver in place of the QSHUSB_DLOAD, but the connection wasn't true.

Can u get in recovery?
 
Thanks RK42, no I can't get it to do anything. I used an auto-rooter program, but it finished with errors I think. I tested the phone and it had root, so I thought it was good. I think it was CWManager that told me I had Twrp recovery installed, so I tried rebooting and brick. None of the button combinations work for any download mode. Sorry, Vol Up and power get the home button to momentarily glow.
