Stuck at recovery mode <3e> after trying to update

[AC Question]

On my LG, a notification popped up on my phone a few months ago that said, "System Update Downloaded." I ignored it, because i wasnt in the mood to update it. But, a few days ago, I decided to give it a try. the installation restarted my phone, and when i turned it on again, it showed the recovery mode screen <3e> and the android dude in the background with the caption, installing system update. I waited several hours, with no result. I selected the wipe data button, and did a factory reset. I rebooted the phone, with no result, only the recovery screen. Please help!?!?!
