Root [MetroPCS & T-Mobile] Bricked My Phone...

So this morning i was using my phone on my way to school, and when i got there i turned off my data and i turned on my wifi to connect to the schools and my phone got unbelievably slow so i reboot the phone which that itself took forever and then it started rebooting and then turned off then started rebooting again and it then entered a bootloop at the tmobile boot screen animation and then i took out the battery and turned it on again and it stuck at the lg splash screen and it would not budge so once again i removed the battery but this time the phone would not boot and i plug it in to my pc and i get the "qhsus" thing on my pc so i know its a hard brick but can someone care to explain how this happened. I dont have any other recovery besides stock and all i did was root and debloat the phone it had been working perfectly fine until today.

Some people get that error. Only thing you can do is keep trying.

Start fresh by uninstalling all the unbrick tools and then reboot your pc. Then install everything again. Also, and this is very important... Make sure that if you're on windows 7 that you have the latest .net framework installed.

1. uninstall unbrick tools and reboot
2. update to latest .net framework on windows 7 and reboot
3. reinstall unbrick tools and try again

I tried on five computers,windows 7 32-64 bit and windows 8 64 bit. And notihng worked with unbrick,on windows 7 said errors wParam = 100, lParam = 64 , and on Windows 8 Library error .
Nothing worked for my phone.
I can go to download mode,emeregency mode,hard reset,batterry is charging normal and nothing worked for my phone.

I don't think it even allows the virgin mobile unbrick method if it doesn't have the correct model number, the only way to unbrick is to flash the kdz. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed from the official lg website, not the unbrick guide. Download the kdz and put it in the folder for unbricking and make sure you also have msxml installed which is found in the zip.
After that you should be able to unbrick using "KDZ_FW_UPD" not "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin". For type pick "3GQCT" and for PhoneMode pick "Emergency" then browse the kdz file. Plug in your phone and go into either download mode or emergency mode (either works but if one doesn't work try the other one). Click "Launch software update" and it should be going from 1 to 100 and then your phone will reboot after 10 minutes or so.
