Help I Need Immediate Help. The jelly bean update messed up my phone

put your phone in download mode and do the one click install of GC01 restor from here:

[ROM][ODIN][TAR]SPH-D710BST GC01 (GC01 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Root/Stock)

You want this file, "SPH-D710BST_GC01_1014517_Stock_Restore.exe" for restore of the non rooted stock Jelly Bean for Boost.

That file is a self extracting archive with a self contained Odin installer with the ROM. Run it on your PC (windows) to extract file folder, then run the installer in the folder it creates. Then you need to put your phone into download mode, then connect it to the pc via the cable. when you see the com port on the installer light up, hit start.

Note: the instructions must be done in that order, and do not have kies running on your PC at the time you do this..

I updated my phone with no problems, but when I tried to update a friend's phone it got about 2% and then gave me an "Unexpected error. Stop download" message on my computer and wouldn't do anything else. Now the phone keeps coming up saying "Firmware upgrade error encountered. Use Kies recovery." I get this message when I turn it on with the vol - button (to do an update) too. Is this what you got and did the fix in the last post work for you?
I'm going to be working on the phone in the morning.
