so i tried using motochopper v1.0 and i ran it like a tutorial told me, ran the batch file and it said that it started succesfully...the only problem is the sceen went black and now my device will not turn on at all..this is a real problem because i have no money to buy a new phone =( has anyone else experienced this? were you able to do anything about it? i tried to do the factory reset and it wont even turn on to do that. its completely disabled.

You used the wrong Motochopper.

oh, what version should i have used?

Well apparently there were two, I don't understand the difference between them whatsoever, but someone on another thread mentioned they found two versions of Motochopper, one had a smaller size then the other I believe, but I also forgot which one he used that worked haha.

So can you pull the battery and reinsert it and hold the up volume button and power to get it into download mode? If so, you can unbrick it.

Yeah, that's because the one that was larger in size was either older or specifically customized for a related but separate LG device. Can't remember which. I actually downloaded both of them, and by pure luck chose the one smaller in size to use.
