Root Stuck in FastBoot Mode

Hey everybody, I have an Optimus V, just got it today. Whoever owned it before me had it rooted, and didn't inform me. I hit the "Factory Reset" button just to make sure all of their data was wiped. Now my phone is stuck on the FastBoot screen, with the following lines:

Fastboot mode started
gpio_i2c: invalid khz: 0
bl: i2c write error
udc_start()
-- suspend --
-- reset --
-- portchange --
fastboot: processing commands

I'm on a Mac, but I got the Android SDK, ADB shell, and Fastboot all working. However, adb isn't recognizing my device, and fastboot shows ???????????? when I type in devices.

I really need to get this fixed, and I haven't been able to find any way to do so. Can anyone help me?
 
I should mention that even though my device isn't showing up, I can reboot the device using fastboot, and it has responded to other commands as well.
 
Which recovery did you use? If you didn't follow all the step's exactly, what did you do, exactly? The more info the better, for all the members who might have the same problem.

Thanks
 
Yes, please provide more info if you have it. My situation is identical the the OP - I have a mac and an android (Optimus V) stuck in fastboot. ADB doesn't list anything under devices, and fastboot command shows ??????

When I command fastboot reboot it works, but when I do..

/Desktop/android-sdk/platform-tools/fastboot boot xionia_cwma_12518.6.img
cannot load 'xionia_cwma_12518.6.img'

Desktop/android-sdk/platform-tools/fastboot flash recovery xionia_cwma_12518.6.img
error: cannot load 'xionia_cwma_12518.6.img'

I keep getting errors. Please help I'm hanging by a thread here (haha, thread, get it?).
