I understand.
I used to be one of those that slapped on the latest updates, but I've become a bit more hesitant in the past 12 years or so.
Most of the time updates have been good and I didn't understand some guys not wanting to.
The "if it ain't broke" group if you will...
I've never bricked a unit in dozens of updates but it can happen.
I don't like not being able to roll back an update - so at this point I'll stay with an older version.
Once you've done a few updates, you will get good at setting up your unit the way you like it in just a few minutes.
I've actually had folks I've helped out asking how the heck can you whiz through that so fast?
LOL.... Practice!
Hope your restore does the trick & you don't require a return for service...
