I had the same issue when I messed up apps2sd. Later phone also didn't boot. I reflashed the phone with 2.1 and it works fine now.

You already have OpenSwift, so you shouldn't have problem updating to SwiftDroid... Follow these steps:


Updating from older versions:

Updating your phone with the most recent version is really easy. There are 2 ways of doing it:
1. Install through fastboot/auto .exe (This method deletes all your data)
2. Install through recovery (This method keeps all your data)

To install through fastboot and erase all your data, all you have to do is put the phone into fastboot mode like you did when you first installed CyanogenMod, power off the phone and hold the camera button all the way in and turn on the phone. Make sure to hold the camera button while the LG logo is on the screen. A blank screen will then show. The phone is now in fastboot mode. All you have to do now is download the most recent .exe file, (link to all versions the higher the version number, the most recent it is) then open it and it'll install the most recent version for you

Now most people want to install through recovery and keep their data. If you don't have recovery installed, check this out. Download the most recent recovery update and copy it to your SD card (link to all versions the higher the version number, the most recent it is). Then boot into recovery by either when rebooting the phone select recovery then okay, or by rebooting the phone normally and holding the home button while powering on, making sure you hold it while the LG logo shows. You'll then be presented with the recovery screen. Use the Vol up and down buttons to navigate up and down the menus, the call button to select an item and the power button to go back a step. Navigate to install zip from sdcard not apply update from sdcard. Now select choose zip from sdcard and select the .zip update, say yes and it'll flash the update for you. When it's done press the power button to go back then the call button to reboot the phone. The first boot after updating will take a while, it may appear to be 'stuck' on the SwiftDroid or CyanogenMod loading screen, but it's not, just leave it for a few minutes and it'll load :)
