Root stuck at Lg logo please help

I'm having the same problem. I can't get to cwm. "adb reboot recovery" is not working. I can only get the phone in fastboot mode...

Please halp
you should do the last part because people have been somehow unable to restore download mode.

You will know that it is restored when download mode looks different next time you boot into it.

After restoring the laf partition, you should be able to run:

Code:
fastboot continue

and it should boot into download mode.

If it shows an error, reboot into fastboot again, run:

Code:
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
fastboot continue

if it still doesn't work post here please.

now u can unbrick with LG Flash Tool or look at the twogbsd's simple unbrick guide.

When I type these commands:

fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
fastboot continue

This is the screen I get and it is stuck here forever. (yes, laf.img is in the directory)

Ok never mind I figured it out.
The screen above is what you should see in order to use the LG Flash Tool to unbrick your phone!
I was not seeing this on all the attempts to restore my phone so apparently my phone was booting to fastboot but not to Download mode.
My phone appears to be totally restored and working perfectly after being bricked for over a month...
