Problems while flashing Optimus M. Please help

Hey all,
I have been a long time flasher of phones however I did a bonehead move and need to see what if anything can be done. Here is what happened.
I have an Optimus M and I have successfully upgraded and downgraded the phone before. Today I was trying a downgrade and as I was flashing I was deleting some files to make some room on my netbook and deleted the .cab flash file. So I tried many times to get the image to take to no avail. I went to my other netbook and tried to flash with the upgrade file and no go there either. What I get when I try to turn the phone on is a very quick LG logo and then nothing. When I hook up the phone on usb with no battery I get a s/w screen however no recovery or reboot sequence I have been able to find works either. Here is a list of what I have already tried. Please let me know if there is anything else you can think of.
-Downgrade flash with Kp500
-pulled out battery and allowed to sit
-connected to other cpu to try upgrade flash via lg upgrader (no go)
-tried recovery sequence
-tried hard reset sequence
Man after all of these years of hacking phones I would hate to think I finally have had the bad luck to make a stupid mistake and brick one.
Thanks everyone!

Phone not booting.

Hello forum!! I have an LG G2X that is not booting at all. I have tried the Nvida Flash to stock and still nothing. I tried to do a factory reset, but instead of the logo going off after I released the Power and volume down button it stays on. I have tried everything. Can someone please help me .

Was the phone previously rooted with ClockWorkMod Recovery installed?
What was the last thing you did on the phone before it got to this state?
What guide did you follow to NVFlash back to stock?
Just in case i dont get back to this thread until tommrow, Try following This guide.
IMMEDIATELY after following that guide, flash This ROM.
Boot into that rom, and after its all booted up, you can shut down.
Now you should be able to go into recovery and flash any ROM you want.
DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS!!!! if you don't flash the OTA Rom Immediately after following the first guide, you will not be able to access your internal sd card.

Hey thanks my dude it worked and I am back online.

when you plug in your phone, dont let windows choose the drivers, click the button that says you will choose what driver to use, then point it to the ENTIRE folder with the APX driver in it.

I tapped for CWM to upgrade to the latest version and it all went wrong now im stuck on an LG logo with some what fuzzy appearance. Nothing happens eventually goes black.
Looking for some assistance?
I have searched as many bricked LGoptimus 3d posts and threads on here and tried but to no avail. I have the LGtool working but doesnt find the LG the latop cant detect it, it have some times shown something connecting but windows 7 knows best as aposed to letting me select the correct driver.

try to flash the recovery using fastboot

The same thing happened to me a few days ago.
Version 6.0 of CWM Recovery caused my phone no stop boot at LG logo.
Use LG's official flash tool to recover phone (you will need to input your IMEI).
It will flash the latest stock rom to your phone.
After that I flashed CWM Recovery 5.0, that one works fine.

yep first time i tried cwm 6 i got stuck on lg boot too and without recovery... you can recover using fast boot like sww said (flash cmw 5 recovery in fastboot [if you go this way flash x and u bin's too, that way if you want to upgrade to cm10 you will be ready] and then restore rom in cmw) or put your phone in download mode (vol up+pwr) and use LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix to flash a full kdz (that's how i did it) or like daniel.mota said use the official flash tool to make emergency recovery (probably the easiest method).
btw I tried flashing cmw 6 again a few days ago and it flashed fine this time, entered recovery fine, backed up fine but never restores correctly...

I agree. The new version has a lot of bugs. When I tried to reinstall a previous rom backup it stated that the md5sum was incorrect when it checked among other small glitches. I'm back to v5.0.2.7.
After back to version 5.0.2.7. The same back up was fine.

Optimus Slider bricked

I'm not sure where the right place to post this is, but maybe it can be moved to the right subforum. I have an Optimus Slider that is bricked. It is now stuck at the LG Logo. I do not have CWM installed, because I hadn't gotten around to doing that yet. Here is my problem: While I have the rom zip, bin, dlls, etc... I have tried booting into recovery and flashing the ROM from update.zip, but it says that it is not signed. I have tried the Smartflashtool, but it does not list any ports, thus I cannot do anything (though in Emergency Mode, my phone is on COM9). I have tried adb and fastboot, but they say device not found. I have even tried this: search "unbrick almost no matter what only lg optimus slider q unbrick coming soon" (with quotes)
It seems that if I could just get into a bootloader, flash a recovery image, or get a stock rom that is signed(even though the one I have apparently is) to just flash, I could be back up and running. Unfortunately, I am hitting a wall on every method I try. Please, can anybody help me?

Do you mind posting what you did that was able to work? I have to wait to find someone that will let me use a windows computer to run the flash tool I guess as I cant run it on Mac OS X
Stuck on the TWRP screen, and flashing zips doesn't work, every reboot brings it to the TWRP screen and I cant seem to find system.img or boot.img in the file directory from that screen so I am thinking it ALL got wiped
Thanks for any help

Just a little FYI, you named the thread hard bricked, however you were only soft bricked. Hard Brick is a dead phone... No power, no lights, or any response.
