[Q] LG Vortex stuck at boot screen, can anyone help to get into recovery mode?

---

I rooted my LG recently to get rid of the crapware that was on by default. But, of course, it wasn't enough for me. I tried to flash a new ROM, and everything went to hell. Now the boot screen won't go past the LG logo. Does anyone know how to reset the device back to factory standard?

Hard reset doesn't work (home + volume down / up + power)
Windows/Linux doesn't see the plugged in device.
adb doesn't see the plugged in phone

I tried to put cyanogenmod on, which was probably a bad idea. I've heard that this problem may be irreperable, and I just want to see if there's any way to avoid having to try and deal with Verizon.

Before flashing (using rom manager), I made sure to choose the backup the current rom option. I've heard that I should be able to restore that backup, but there's no way to actually connect to the phone at the moment.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I've gained access to the SD card by plugging it into an external reader. I can see the recovery image that clockwork made. How can I get the phone to boot into it?

Yes, please do post it. I attempted the LOL 1.4.2 rom for Optimus One and am now in this same situation. I have a working rom on my sd card if I could just get to the recovery screen.

[Solved!]

I read a few posts mentioning that they were able to reset their phone using their ac adapter, but I hadn't any luck trying it that way, until a good friend of mine used some google-fu to determine that the order in which you do things matters! Here's the steps I had to take:

1. Remove battery from phone
2. Begin holding power, volume down and home
3. Plug phone into ac power WITHOUT LETTING GO OF BUTTONS (wasn't easy for me either)
4. Phone should boot into recovery (in my case the custom recovery)
5. You can let go of those buttons now
6. Install battery
7. Flash your phone and rejoice!

THANK YOU! The part I wasn't getting was the plugging into A/C while holding the buttons down...you're a lifesaver!!!

This did not work for me. I tried putting the phone into recovery mode, but it still just booted up as normal. I'm running out of ideas and patience here...
