Help Hard Reset problem

Hey everyone - first time poster here.

My phone is a Verizon LG Lucid VS840 4G LTE with ICS
I think I quite THOROUGHLY bricked my LG Lucid and I need help. I had to perform a hard Factory reset and now all I get at boot-up is this:

[20210]-----------------------------------------------------------
----------
[02360] Secure Booting Error!
[20430] Cause : boot certification verify
[20500]
[20570]-----------------------------------------------------------
----------
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Enter the fastboot...
Enter the fastboot...

Long time no see!
-------------------------------------------------------------------

While I DO have experience in rooting phones and understanding the risks involved, I can't help but assume that I REALLY wiped this puppy clean! LOL.
I'm wondering if the error codes on the left confirm it
Before I rooted my phone, I made sure to obtain the proper drivers and also made a backup in case of trouble.
Now that I'm in trouble [LOL] It's still not going as I planned. What makes this really infuriating is that I JUST got this phone and it was just about set up perfectly............Then I just HAVE to tweak it a little more. I feel like such an idiot................lol

..............I really killed this thing, didn't I?
 
I rarely look at manuals or bother with bloatware, but when I just got the phone and set everything up, for some reason I let the Verizon software installer do its thing without really noticing.............................

Sure glad I did. The software on the PC DID recognize the phone which enabled the VZW driver to find an update.........I believe I am in the "unbrick" phase........................BY ACCIDENT mind you. I'm a good tech but I just BORKED this episode totally and deserve no credit for this possible solution ROFLMAO

More soon - hopefully good news

Yes - in fact I am doing that now and the assistant keeps counting down remaining time from 59 to 0 and doing that over and over with no progress past about 20% on the progress bar.
If I understand it correctly, the vol up/dn-pwr combo gets me to download mode: My screen says "Download in progress Do not disconnect cable" The screen went Bright when that appeared then immediately went DIM. Message is still on screen, and aside from that there is NO activity

You should not be using the Verizon Upgrade Assistant you should be using the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe to install the firmware.

Oh I see..............Thank you for that piece of info. I was just about to waste another day with that assistant. I do have the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe however I DO NOT have the .cab files because every link I follow is dead. I don't know any other way to obtain the proper .cab file for the Lucid VS840.

Is there a good working source for this file?

Where IMEI = your actually IMEI number.

P.S. , use Firefox to see the info. Internet Explorer hides all the text.
