After using Rom manager to attempt to create a backup before installing a ROM, my phone froze and now only starts to the LG screen and stays there. Ive tried almost anything and everything so far. Going into recovery it says it cant find recovery.

Do I have an advantage at my fingertips since my wife has the same phone and we have an sd card? Is there a way to use her phone and the sd card to bring my phone to life?
If I send my phone away, can they tell it was rooted etc?

Lastly, any other ideas before I have to hang my head in shame and shell out hundreds of dollars for a new phone ??
Thanks!
