Root [Virgin Mobile/Sprint] HELP?!?!?

[latenightzom]

So I had this problem before, and I just replaced my phone.

My optimus f3 was rooted and I deleted and xposed module and then I went to go reset my phone and boom, it didnt turn on. When I plug it in without the battery the green light still comes on but only that way. it won't go into download, it wont turn on, it wont go into cwm recovery. Does anyone have a solution? or is it the end of me and my pretty phone?!

Why is it u deleted that? If u cant get phone to show up as adb through computer or get into download mode, or cwm then u prolly got urself nice shiny paperwieght.

I'm going to assume you're running Windows for the sake of this support:
Plug in your phone to your computer, wait for it to 'install device driver software', then go to Control Panel / Devices and Printers and see if it shows up. If it appears as an 'Unknown Device - QHSUSB_DLOAD' you have a hard brick on your hands (your phone detected a modification to a protected partition, or to Secure Boot, and now is forced into a mode only a technician can repair). If you bought it recently enough, you may be able to go through LG's support and get a repair authorization, send it to them, they'll give you tracking info so you can watch its process in their system and then they'll give you tracking info on its way back to you via FedEx.
I humbly suggest you describe the state the device is in, but not how you got there. I went through almost exactly this process after a failed recovery install, and I described that it wouldn't power on, and connecting it to my computer showed it as QHSUSB_DLOAD. I got a repair authorization within a few days and had my phone (with a new board!) within a few weeks.
Let this be a lesson to you on what about your phone you cannot touch. Hope this helps.

Also: always deactivate Xposed modules through the Xposed installer before deleting them, and always 'uninstall' them through the Xposed installer. If you uninstall using the Package Manager or just delete the file, they won't clean up all their data properly, and you risk issues like this, that could be dire depending on what the module was modifying. I don't know of an Xposed module that could cause a hard brick if removed improperly, but you do

I forget the name of the module, but the Icon was a big red X. if I schedule the repair, seeing i've had it for a few months, do I put down that I was rooted and that something went wrong? or do I BS it
