[Q] Return to stock: how complete can it be? - LG Optimus 3D

I have an LG Thrill running P920 rom, last week I was trying some different roms for better T-Mobile compatibility. One of the rom (I think it's official for some Chinese carrier) has changed the startup screen (see below the picture), afterwards no matter what rom that I flash, I simply can't change back the startup screen, which I think should be the ATT "Rethink Possible" logo. Any ideas that I can revert it back?
Thanks,

It seems like a no-go Used three different ways of flashing, including restore via LG Official Tool, the image simply won't go...
I have also inspected all files under /system/media, no trace of the posted image file.
Any more ideas to try?
Thanks,

Thank you! will try when I get some time.

I'm thinking your boot loader what updated.

I would check /data/local or /data/media, i'm quite sure Android checks these locations before /system/app and thats probably why it's sticking even after you flash other roms.

Nexus froyo boot animation

so this is a boot animation that I modded out.
I don't know who originally made it...I'm assuming cyanogen? (my buddy gave it to me)
Anyways, I really like the original but it doesn't fit my current setup (froyo 2.2)
As soon as cm6 comes out I'm back to it.
2 ways to install...
bootanimation zip- do a adb push
nexus-froyo-glow-robot zip- just flash from memory card
I recommend nandroid just in case something goes wrong or you want to revert back

I'm somewhat graphically abled and want to make my own.

there are two ways to do it...the zip folder style requires signing (but way easy to install)...read up and download sdk
making a bootanimation.zip is pretty easy (just harder to get on the phone)
I suggest downloading what I posted and dissect them...you basically need a bunch of sequential .png pictures (110-130)
this has pretty good instuctions http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/13/how-to-create-a-droid-custom-boot-animation/
if you do it this way search "adb for dummies" and you will be set

Here's the link to the guy who originally made it.

I was stock ROM, S-OFF and rooted...Clicked yes to install OTA when prompted..Phone reset and then that came up and its doing nada...
Am I screwed? What should I do?
Can I do a battery pull? Am I bricked?
I pray someone helps me and doesn't flame. I know there are some good people in here still.
I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.
You are not bricked you should be able to do a battery pull and boot up normally if that doesnt work since you are rooted get a tmobile 2.3.3 ruu and runn that..
I believe your mistake was doing the OTA WHILE being rooted. Good news is, is that most people here tried the same as you and all are fine now.
A beer would be nice, huh?
Matt
Thanks!
Doing battery pull now. Will update If any more problems.
It's not root that kills the process, it's the custom recovery.
I assume you have CWM Recovery?
You need the stock recovery to make the OTA work, hence you have to use the RUU to get it back. Instructions are here:

After that, you can re-gain root by reading here:

The S/W Upgrade screen shows up on my phone, I pull the USB, restart with the Vol - and Power, but i get stuck at the LG screen forever.

Got it all sorted out, had to basically revert to stock G2X using that flash.bat method that is floating around. Worked like a charm! running Nullifier Single right now, already have CM7 RC1 on deck followed by a legit open source Kernel Faux was messing around with.
I'll use my banned IMEI G2X for ICS builds.

I used odin to try and flash again, i used one click flash, and I reinstalled all my drivers, checked my usb connection and even tried a different computer. I cannot restore my phone. I was on stock ginger bread but not sure which one.
I go into download mode manually, i slect up, and i get back to the same screen as on top w no result.
Help plz. $20.00 donation to who can help me crack this...i really need it fixed, thx.
I also tried to use klies. it didnt work. computer does read the phone as the yellow shows on odin. But everytime i try to flash something it starts, then fails.

Can you still transfer stuff over Odin, or is your computer not picking it up at all?
Also, are you using Desktops or Laptops to Odin?
This thread is epic. I would've reported it if there was a report button :-(

I love threads like this(where the answer is actually in the OP's question) reported for clean up
P.S. I, too, run into problems when trying to run "klies"
Yeah....not a noob

Fair enough but surely it's more effort booting in to recovery, flashing the file, and waiting for the phone to reboot than just clicking install lol

It's the same thing as going into a file manager, hitting the file you want, and then clicking install. I personally like flashing app zips as apposed to installing them manually.

Not to mention that since it's beta, there will likely be frequent updates.

I actually see this as worthwhile. I could have used this yesterday when wiping 3 devices and installing SwiftKey on each
