As a former 20yr computer tech, we used to put hard drives and such in the freezer to recover them all the time. It only needs to go in there for 10 minutes. You are not really "freezing" it. It just cools it down on a hot day. :smileyhappy:

I had this happen to my Droid X. I went back to Verizon and they couldn't help me. I reformated the phone several times and then went back to the Verizon store and was told that they way the update installed it "bricked" my phone. They sent me a new one, adn the first thing I did was to install the upgrade. It installed with out a problem. I think the reason I had so much trouble is that I had Trask Killer and an Antivirus running when I first tried to update the phone. I had no idea that that would screw things up...but it did. You may need a new phone.

This is one of the reasons I always suggest hard resetting before installing a major OS update. To avoid software conflicts. 2.1 and 2.2 codes are not the same and this is why some apps that worked on 2.1 don't even install on 2.2, I am so amazed that the update does not automatically hard reset system to avoid this hiccup.

 

 

Also I use ATK without issues and it isn't a bad app when configured right.
