Help Dead (bricked?) - no root

hammersmn said:

Hi.
First off, I've never rooted this phone or tried to do anything on the developer side. I'm stricty an end-user, and don't have the first clue on how or what to do to modify my device. I'm usually very happy just using programs provided and downloaded from Google Play (in other words, please be gentle). I do tend to be a heavy user - jumping back and forth between programs with lots running in the background.

• While using my phone this morning, I started to receive errors - processes were failing and dropping off "messaging service not responding, press ok" "LinkedIn app not responding, press ok". I had about 8 program failures in 1 minute. (if you wanted to know what I was doing - I was looking through messages in a prior conversation for a photo I had sent).
• It then froze up, stuck on the message conversation list.
• After about 3 minutes, without any response from any of the buttons, and the screen still on, I removed the battery.
• When I restarted it, it stayed on the solid "LG" splash screen (for over 10 minutes), with no response from any of the buttons, and the screen still on, so I removed the battery (again).
• I then did a hard reset (volume down+power). The "release all keys please!!! Go To Recovery Mode. Waiting....", script came up. After about 4 minutes, I got the "dead android" screen. Let that sit for 3 minutes, it went back to the solid "LG" logo (again). Wait 10 minutes, nothing. Took out the battery again.
• Next step, did a factory reset (volume up + power). The confirmation script for to erase all data and restore factory settings came up. Pressed the power button twice (as requested), and the it did nothing. For another 10 minutes.

I hopefully have been descriptive enough of the problem and the solutions that I've already attempted.
Being my primary source of connection with the internet, I'm now sitting at the public library, begging for help from the only community I know that would have the answers. Can anyone help please?
I will be forever grateful.

I was going to give it a shot, but unfortunately, it appears that some of the files in the guide are no longer available:

Drivers installed- https://www.box.com/shared/32c5t7fj2w8xcwr0krjo (no longer available)
LG Flash Tool (read the Readme!): https://app.box.com/s/ua760vn52db4ainj92hb (no longer available).
