firmware update today

Unfortunately, yes. You may have no other recourse. You could try going to the Update app, and then trying a manual update, if it will let you. You could back up your Kodi configuration, if you still can get to Kodi and use a backup/utility add-on like Indigo.

Just writing back to let everyone know I did a system reset as mentioned by Dara and now I have the latest update.

However, what I did notice with this update is that I used to have an orange harddrive light flashing while the box was working that no longer flashes. I only have a green one signifying power. Has anyone experienced this with the update? Also, when trying to point my apps (system-apps) to used my sd card returns an error stating there isn't enough space. Not true as the card has 60 gigs free. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
