At this point have you considered taking it to a local store and having them do it? If there is a internal problem then they should fix it. Otherwise your ordeal is rediculous.

That was my experiene tonight. After three failed attempts to download the damned thing, I tried the next download with wifi turned off. It didn't like that and wouldn't let me proceed without turning it on. What do I know....

It seems like a much slower download. Could be my imagination or the late hour. I'll report back with the results. I hope I don't wind up putting the tip of a katana through it LOL

DIdn't work. Same problem. The mistake I might have made is when the download finished, the phone rebooted. At that point I should've (maybe) held down the volume control so it rebooted in safe mode...but I don't know if that would've made a different. Will try a
