thank you very much phone successfully revived my phone with that hard reset
you can't get to the recovery or reset without turning it off first. if it don't wanna turn off just pull the battery then try again.
Little too slow in responding. very sorry about that.

now its working fine so how to root this version
check the ginger lol thread in development. It has instructions for rooting that should work.
shortcut to instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14590924&postcount=202
But there are probably easier ways i'd guess.
I think you should do it with GingerBreak, but I'm not sure.

apparently gingerbreak doesn't work (fc or something) so actually this is the easiest way to do it right now i think
Try this
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
for root. From adb. But you'll need to install the superuser app I think.

sbf should fix this, after flash is complete if it still bootloops your probably using a service sbf so will need to enter android recovery and manually clear data etc. to do this hold volume down while turning on device, then keep pressing it till it says android recovery, press volume up, then you have to tap the bottom right corner to show the options when the android logo appears

Its a CM7 feature. Don't you like it? Anyways you can always turn it off from the cynogenmod settings.void forever does not hav the settings by default so you must flash the settings first via the proper zip which you can find in the void forever post

If you have a backup then you can restore it to get back to stock(obv). And it is recommended you unroot before taking it to warranty services. Some may allow it, others may not.

how do i boot directly into clockwork without rom manager?
Like he said above, you hold down vol up, down and power. The recovery menu you were getting is the android recovery menu, not CWM.
Do your rooting over and try it again. You should see the CWM logo when going into recovery, it is noticeably different.

Thank you for a decent reply. Currently I am rooted with Photon Torpedo, bootstrap MOTODX2, with MOF 2.3.5 slim DeBlure. It runs very nice and everything works great. I just play with my phone alot, and seems you have to boot to go into boostrap recovery. Then plug into ac charger and run recovery. I am unable to just go straight in recovery from reboot. Or by holding low volume/power doing boot menu. Which means if something breaks, I have to SBF and go thru the whole shabang again. Unless you know another way.
Thank you again
U are right but when i was using bootstrap i noticed something if ur phone battery completely empty and the phone turns offf completely if u connect it to wall charger and open the phone it will goes directly to boot strap recovery try this and tell me

if you mess up the system you can restore using this method
http://www.motosunfire.com/system/ seems to work just fine for others who have tested it. you can then restore your system back to normal using bootstrap, assuming you make a backup.

pretty odd. it has worked for a few others who messed up the system. that's all it's really intended for. that's why i listed the link that the person above posted in the instructions. mine is for "soft bricks" or messed up systems. as for "hard bricks" it won't do anything because you've messed up more than the system. that's when you have no option but to flash the only 2.3.5 SBF available, which isn't even for the photon but the electrify.

Is there a way to reinstall Webtop? I bought my phone used haven't been able to use it since I've owned it. I looked around and I can't find any info on how to do it.

Webtop is installed unless you deleted it. I had trouble with it once after a soft brick. Had to factory reset to get it to work again ):
If you don't have a media dock but you do have an HDMI cable you'll need to modify some system apps to make it work. I have info on MotoSunfire.com in the mods section.
