did you try to upgrade through kies? or were you using a cooked rom? from what i understand, most ics roms will brick your phone if you have a known band emmc firmware (or something?)

Mine bricked also. If I wanted the issue fixed asap, I had to drive 40mins to an AT&T service center, which I did. The tech re-flashed the latest gingerbread and told me to wait a few weeks before re-trying. He didn't even know ICS was out!

Mine bricked after the update was deemed good rebooted. It froze on the AT&T screen "Just Imagine the Possibilities", which was kind of funny actually. I was imagining the possibility that my damn phone was working :p
