I might have bricked my LG G2

I have tried everything I can find on the topic.

I was trying to install cyanogenmod on my Verizon LG G2 when it suddenly shut off and got stuck in fastboot mode.

I got into the factory reset options on my phone and started a reset, it has been about 10 minutes and it is still "Factory reset processing."

Is my phone bricked for good?  How long should this factory reset be taking?

I haven't thought of a good signature yet.

Hi!

Your phone must be turned off before starting the steps from this guide.
 
So, press power button and select “power off”.
 
Then, press the volume up button on your LG G2.
 
While you are holding the volume up button, plug in your phone’s USB cable.
 
Keep pressing the Volume up button until the download mode is being displayed.
 
Now the phone will install some drivers – it should take around 10 minutes to complete; the best will be to let your device install the mentioned drivers.
 
Also, when updating your LG G2 by using download mode, don’t unplug the USB cable while the flashing process is running as you can end up in damaging or even in bricking your LG G2.
 
Now, you can return to Android OS by pressing the power button; keep pressing power button until the LG logo appears – then you can safely unplug the USB cord.

Thanks for the idea, I've tried this and it quickly flips to download mode and then back to fastboot.  Any ideas?
