That won't help. Going into recovery from what i understand is an entirely different boot sequence. Even if you have a corrupt rom, as long as you haven't totally bricked the phone, you should still be able to boot into recovery (someone please correct me if I'm wrong about this).
Have you installed any custom recovery like
http://androidforums.com/optimus-m-...nally-custom-recovery-2-2-1-stock-phones.html ? It involves connecting your phone to your computer and using a terminal or command prompt to enter a series of commands to install a couple of image files, etc. Does that sound familiar?
Not trying to patronize you, but I fear we're not on the same page, so I'm trying to correct or at least make sure that we are.
