Hav u tried the option button and try recovery update, i tried and it says im up to date to but thsats wen i go to the option, recovery update and it will go threw its stages, warning it will erase everything and put ubk to zve stock, and the whole process can take 10 or so mins up to almost a hour, if u try it let me know if u get past 2:22 on timer n past the second step, ive waited up to 10/15 mins and gave up, just wasnt up to waiting lol
