LG Flash Tool and Issues

I posted this in the root section on accident so I'm reposting here.

I'll try to make the long story short. Keep in mind the phone is not rooted or hacked in any way and nothing has changed since I went to bed the night before.

I woke up yesterday morning to my Optimus(vm720) saying every app unexpectedly quit, it kept spamming the errors so I restarted the phone and it decided to factory reset on me, however, all of the virgin mobile apps were gone and it was acting really slow and buggy, I had 1 bar of service, and nothing data related was working.

After trying to go into recovery it eventually showed me the lovely android with a red caution symbol coming out of his chest. I factory reset one more time and the phone booted just the same, very slow and no carrier information. PRLs, updates, etc won't work as there is no network.

I had tried to follow the extremely confusing guide to setup LG Flash Tool's latest version, after finally getting everything installed and working (all drivers, com port changed to 41, and dlls, verified correct stock rom, etc) I am now running into a problem.

I click manual mode, select the proper files, and go to start it. I click the arrow and it shows 'Ready' in port 1 (comm41). It sits there until I disconnect the phone and plug it back in while in download mode. 'Ready' turns green and off it goes to do it's thing. The problem is that it gets stuck and fails at the same point every time (around 3-4%) at 37 seconds in.

Here is what the end of the log looks like:

I tried other dll files in multiple locations and still the same outcome not matter what I try. There is no custom recovery... actually I don't think there is any recovery mode now since when I try it just shows the android caution dude. Now the phone just sits at the LG logo and does nothing. Is my phone done for? Anyone else have this issue?

Files I am using:
LGLS720_20130509_LGFLASHv151.dll
ROM: LS720ZV7_05.bin

There is another dll I used from someone saying they also were stuck at 4%, it was called wx.dll and that was put into the C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone directory and still no difference.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)


EDIT: Sorry if this was posted in the wrong spot, I just noticed
 
Dear. Blinkintime

above all, sorry for saying this without any advice to help you.
I reply to you for asking a favor.
I have experience brick of my phone f3(VM) like you since last Friday.
It shows just LG logo and then nothing happens.

recovery or hard reset can't operate.
moreover I can't find .dll and .bin you have above.
I need your help.
Could you let me know where I can get that?
