Root [TMobile] Seriously Bricked?

Phone: Lg Optimus F6 (t-mobile)

Experience Level: Not quite a noob anymore (apparently I know just enough to be dangerous)

Situation: - Phone stuck in boot loop (gets past the Lg screen and then reloads the tmobile screen indefinitely)

---I can put it into download mode (hold power till powerdown while connected to pc, then hold vol +)
---I have the lg mobile support tool, it detects phone (LGD500BK) and software (D50010H) correctly and says I'm kosher...
---Did the upgrade recovery, 15 minutes later... still goes into same bootloop

I've tried this w/ and w/out sdcard, w/ and w/out sim card, all with same result

I tried following several unbrick guides here on the forum to no avail

Aside from the lg software, my computer doesn't see the phone through the usb cable.

How I got to this point: Rooted this phone bout 2 weeks ago (shortly after I got 3 of these, (son's, wife's, mine)) Used the alt root method posted in this forum (vroot to supersu etc) with success after trying a couple other methods that failed.

I've since tried several of the memory fixes with different levels of success and/or failure...usually temporary success, then I get too greedy and the glitches take over. I do a factory reset or if necessary run the lg software, and start over.

This time I was rooted and 11extsd2internalsd and link2sd. I had just finished the link2sd and was setting that up. I had filtered the apps to user and selected about a dozen apps to link to sd (a few kid games, google+, chrome, and a few others, no "system" apps, nor any of my "rooting" apps.

Shortly thereafter, started getting the popups ... immediately unlinked/restored everything I had just linked, (just filtered my list to linked, selected all and hit the unlink/put it back/whatever it was that looked safe to do/restore button)

the popups continued, but not all of them, just the google ones and then the phone puked and tried to reboot...
 
Never mind, after a few hours of frustration, I searched hard reset for my phone and found out I had only been doing a forced reboot.
Did the hard reset and i'm about to reroot:)
 
I know that tecqniqually you got this, but may i sugwst gl2sd? Its a lot easier than link2sd and you can move the whole obb file if there is one, also, you dont have to partition the. Sd card, which caused manyproblems for me, sorry just a suggestion.
 
Hello everyone I am very new to this area of computing (and this forum). However I have still ended up in the same hole as you guys are describing although it happened for a completely different reason. (BTW: I am rooted)

one day I tryed to play the android game NOVA 3 on my Nexus 7 on the highest graphical setting so I went and researched how to do this. I was pointed towards some kind of app called 'ChainFire 3D', Once I pressed the install button inside this app the Nexus 7 switched off and the next time I tried to turn it on I got the X logo of death (boot loop). I then tried to enter recovery and I got the annoying 'no command' error. I cant seem to remember how I rooted this thing but I do have access to the fastboot stuff ONLY (inside cmd).

if there is anyone who has any idea how to go about fixing such an issue without wiping everything on my nexus could they please get back to me ASAP.
