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?

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.

Go to cwm and flash a new rom
For me, it's aroudn 10 seconds to get in to CWM

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.

recovery mode in kies and try again.
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 :-(
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2

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

Did you format the phone on accident?

I don't normally suggest toolkits but I see u looking at wugfreshs toolkit so im guessing you are half way familiar with it. Use the flash back to stock with the soft bricked section checked. You are OK just take your time and breath and read before you really mess up your phone. You obviously are getting way ahead of yourself and doing things you don't understand. That's a great way to hard brick your brand new shiny toy.

No need to panic. It is not bricked. Just flash system recovery and boot in the fast boot mode.
Just check how to upgrade to 4.4.1 thread. They have factory image for 4.4 which you can use for flashing.

I've tried a few methods including rom manager app and no luck, it just tries booting to stock recovery.

Also I am on 4.2.2. Just got phone today and spent a good 2 hours trying before asking for help! Hopefully it's a dumb mistake on my end and is an easy fix
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk

The furthest ive gotten is doing it manually in cmd and it says the image file is not a loki image and when it boots recovery its blank black screen. No one has any help for me? Should i try going back to stock recovery first? How do i do that?

I used freegee from the play store to install twrp 2.6.3.3, works perfectly.

Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk

So you'll never guess what happened. I woke up next to my phone and it was in cwm! But guess what?! My phone did the OTA on its own while I was asleep and bricked my 2 day old phone! Any help WITHOUT using Linux? I can't even get into recovery anymore because I tried to install another recovery zip to fix it and now there is no recovery

I'm making an appointment with geeksquad (phone came from best buy) and the service rep I talked to said they'd most likely replace it for me. If not, my computer asks me if I want to format the drive (repeatedly when I plug it in with every drive letter of the alphabet) what would happen if I did?
Sent from my P9070 using Tapatalk

Just restore back to stock. There is a lot of info on how to do this on this forum. You don't need the geek squad.
