HELP!! Phone not bricked but wont function properly

I turned my phone off like normal last night. The phone is rooted with 2.2. I have anti virus etc on it to make sure i dont do anything nasty to it. I went to turn it on this morning and it got into a loop when it got into the main screen it got to a loop where it loads up all services and then vibrates and retries to start all services.
I shut it off and have rebooted it and same thing continues to happen. I cannot get into the apps screen to reset the phone and when I try to reinstall the root pkgs in the recovery screen i Get a red message saying cannot find update.zip or whatever the extension name is. I am not sure what to do here. I Keep pulling the battery out and resetting it but same thing is happening its booting up but keeps looping in the main screen.

2.let us know what rom. What you have installed latley and what kernel. Ect...

you must have installed the wrong modem or kernel.

[Q] Question about CWM and bricking

Background: I installed a theme through CWM onto my LG revolution, and for whatever reason it bricked the phone. Wouldn't load beyond the welcome screen. Hard resets didn't bring me back into CWM, which would have allowed me to solve the problem. A major compounding problem was that it did not get far enough along in the boot process for me to review the files on my computer.
So, here is the question: Is there a way to tell the phone to reboot into CWM next time? Or some other thing I can do? (Besides getting a replacement phone) Any help would be appreciated.

Have you pulled the battery put it back in and hold power and volume down at the same time?

after installing a theme you wipe the dalvik. Upon rebooting the phone it takes forever to get going again. Turn the phone off and turn it back on and let it sit for about 10 min or so and post back

How to turn off menu/home/back/search lights?

OK first, I am running the ICS4Bionic rom with it on my SAFEMODE and the stock rom on my Unsafe mode. Earlier tonight I had to deposit a check I received so I needed to use the camera to take a picture of the check.
I switched between roms no problem, as the safestrap is really handy in that regard, however now my light up buttons at the bottom stay on no matter what in my ICS rom. Its a pain in the butt and i'm not sure how to turn it off, or get it to turn off only when the screen is off or what have you.
I'm thinking about resetting but I've got it to a point where I really like it and would like to avoid it if possible... help..

[Q] I need immediate help boot loop+CWM problem

I dont know too much about firmware, but my LG Thrill 4g is boot looping and staying on the lg logo screen and the homescreen buttons will illuminate. I can get into the Clockworkmod recovery mode and Ive wiped everything but the phone still won't start up. It isn't in usb debugging mode, and the hard reset is not working at all. Please can someone help me?

Have you made a backup file
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app

Yes I have, but removed it thereafter, okay it isnt bricked anymore, it starts up now. But since i factory reset it and am now trying to redo everything on the phone, it looks a little glitched, the text messages dont come through, i cant see the text on the menus and it looks to me like the phone itself is glitched, anything i can do? Maybe I didnt fix it prperly?

Are you trying to flash a rom? In your first post you said it isn't in USB debugging mode, is this correct?

Another brick in the wall - this is what I tried so far

Hi everyone,
I have had Zeus 7.6 (GB based) for a long time, but the other day it started freezing a couple of times a day, and other weird things, so I thought: it's time to give ICS a go.
I then used SmartFlash Tool to install the latest official ICS for Spain... and there started my nightmare. Apparently the install went fine, but now every time the phone boots, I get the initial Android Install screen, which I can configure, but if I enter my google account, the phone goes crazy and I keep seeing warnings of processes crashing (even android.core or something like that). If I turn off my phone, and on again, it will get stuck in the LG logo. Then I remove battery, wait a while, turn on... and it boots again, but cannot do much.
I have tried doing hard reset using LG hidden menu, also from the Android settings did a reset, and everything seems to go well, but the 2nd time it boots, it always freezes in LG logo.
I have flashed Froyo, Gingerbread and ICS versions using smartflash tool, but no matter what, even when it seems to go ok, the version that always boots is ICS (after the software is upgraded, there is a reset of the phone, and LG logo again).
I have even tried recovery using the official LG mobile support tool.
Last thing I tried I read somewhere: I boot pressing Vol - and G button... and I only see a robot lying on the ground (scary!) with a warninig sign, can't get past it.
My guess is that something is corrupt, but I don't know how to do a full wipe without being able to go to recovery.
Can you suggest anything else to try? I'm really lost here and wouldn't want to be forced to buy a new phone yet!
Thanks so much in advance

If you have cwm backup of your 2.2 or 2.3 then you can try one more thing....install cwm patched 2.3 with sft and when it completes flash it will take you to cwm ...now directly restore your old cwm backup

If it still is zeus, simply keep pressing g key during boot and you should be able to get into recovery. Or is it always ics, that boots?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app

Yes, it's ICS (Spain version) that boots. I had it flashed after Zeus, and now no matter which ROM I flash, I have that ICS version (the flashing always goes fine, but when the phone reboots it hangs at LG logo)
Still trying to find a way to revive my little OB...
Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

It happens when you flash ICS....for me when I went back to 2.2 or 2.3 it failed to detect my internal memory....but as I always do a android backup. ...I flashed patched 2.3 and did a restore of my backup and my phone was all working again...that is why I suggested to use a backup if you have.

Not even this method worked? This is usually my "safety procedure", I always keep a v20s patched with CWM on my PC, to flash with SFT when something goes wrong. Then, when it ends, the phone reboots in recovery...
