4.2.2 bricked phone

[akf2000]

I just tried to install the 4.2.2 update - initially I had to install a 'bug fix' package, then it downloaded 4.2.2 but it said the download was corrupt.

Now my screen just has a large red triangle with an exclamation mark over it! I have no idea what to do. I've lost everything!

phew!!!! it stayed on that red triangle screen for about 10 mins, then out of nowhere it restarted and now I'm back to normal. I don't think I'll try updating OTA again!

Same thing happened to me. Solved it by a hard reset and everything went smooth again.

If your device is completely stock (no root, custom recovery, etc.) then you should have no problems installing the OTA update. Just make sure your internet connection lasts long enough for the whole update to be downloaded and not 99% of it, for instance.

Yeah like I did once with an S2 update. I forgot it was DL'ing the update and I switched from 3G to wifi. All went normal except that it said update was corrupt BUT it tried to install anyways! Never gave me an option to install or install later. I went bonkers after the large triangle in the middle of my screen. Thankfully a battery pull fixed it and it re-downloaded the update and it went smoothly.

I had exactly the same issue. Stock Rom.
Started download at work after the small patch and the WiFi kicked me off and it was stuck with corrupted updated.
Then said it's ok ,reboot into red triangle.
Hold power button for 5 seconds and it rebooted back no problem.
Just no update.
Stuck in corrupt loop. (phone ok and usable just can't update)
Had to factory reset device after backing everything up and using Helium to back up my app data.
After factory reset it updated to 4.22 no problem.
