Stuck at "Security Error" running ICS

OK, took the update last week and rerooted and everything was great. This morning tried to bloat freeze a couple more apps that I thought were harmless -- maybe they weren't. Anyway, later when the phone wouldn't connect to ANDFTP I decided to restart. At restart, I got the LG logo pop a couple times, then finally the smaller LG logo with "Security Error" underneath.

Went in to the "read this if you are have any issues with the ICS update" and found that a factory reset was my best option. The thread says "hopefully will boot into ICS" and if not to do the flashing of LG signed Firmware found in Rootzwiki. Well mine didn't reboot to ICS. I go to rootzwiki and from what I can see the instructs say that I need to have my phone on "set phone to Debug mode." How can I do this if I can't get past the security error.

Any help would be appreciated.

I still can't get this to go. Neph81 has been kinda enough to work with me on this (reminding me about all the stuff that is detailed in the rootzwiki: no keying errors, running with admin access, etc.) No matter what I do I still get the process failing at what appears to be the extract -- it seems to behave the same way each time. I am including the system messages that run, in case someone has any suggestions. I tried to get the v6 cab to try that, but the link in the instructions appears to be dead -- any thoughts there? Is there some other way to get this phone back? It doesn't appear to be totally bricked, since I do come up in download mode. Maybe I'll try on a different machine, but the drivers were a hassle to load on the one I am currently on, so I'm hoping there's a way around this before that. Here are the system msgs:

i was flashing the pwnage tool for ICS

That you got off who's download spot?

Download one from an official spot.

CyanogenMod Downloads
AOKP.co: vs920
basketbuild downloads!

TDM didn't get us all this official support for nothing ;)

If you're downloading from somewhere else, it might not be the right rom for this phone. If you can't use vol down + power to get back into recovery (yes there's a reset prompt, it wont really do a factory reset if you have cwm installed) then you'll have to cab flash as you flashed the wrong thing to the wrong partition.

Why did you install CWM from Rom Toolbox? The pwnage tool unlocks your boot loader and installs CWM all in one stroke? As for the rest, yeah, .cab back to stock and retry the pwnage tool after you install Koush's Universal ADB driver being as you're running Windows 8.
