Aside from scrubbing away any loose debris/plant materials on the dead rock before placing it in the tank, there isn't much you can do speed up the process of having the dead rock become recolonized by bacteria. Place it in a balanced and stable tank and it will eventually become LR

Try naming you rocks, that always seems to help speed things up.

There is not a thing you can do to REALLY speed up the whole process, I find doing good size water changes on curing live rock seems to help things along, but if your rock is void of all life forms, you will just have to wait.

Did you put a end to the Live rocks life? Do you still have some LR in a tank?
You will need some sort of life in the tank to "seed it". LS or a chunk of LR will do the trick.
Good luck.
