No. A failed firmware update has already overwritten working code inside
the device with dead code. Its like a botched brain surgery. After
cutting too deeply, there's no reset button to undo the surgery and
bring you back to life.
I used the form and contacted Google. Spoke to Drake and he said it's
still an "emerging issue" being investigated, no update. He doesn't know
what you are talking about, "making it right".
