Ionic failed update, needs a true hard reset: How?

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I got the notice, and started the update, just like every other update.

 

After a long while (about 20 minutes) it said it failed. I tried several more times with the same results - I've tried it after restarting the phone, restarting blutooth, using wifi, using 4G, nothing works. 

 

Now, the screen has the diamond logo on for a few seconds, then it goes dark for a while, then repeats, endlessly.

 

I have tried every version of "Hard Rest" I could find (and there are a LOT of versions out there! Some say hold all 3, then let go of the top button, some say the bottom button, etc. No love on any of them.

 

I noticed there appears to be a hardware reset hole where the band attaches, although pushing in a paper clip doesn't appear to have any effect.

 

I'm at the end of my rope, and if I can't get this fixed, my wife is liable to fillet me the next time I try to go to sleep (only half joking!).  I need to reset this, and I no longer care about data loss, as long as I can recover it.  Please help!

 

Thanks in advance!
