$1,000 Brick with a side of heart attack....

So you don't know millennial fear until you are backing up your phone to your computer when it tries to suddenly do a software update and THEN your dog yanks the cable out.

It was like the trifecta of f**ked up!!!!  My 'lifeline' to the world was stuck in "restore to factory settings"...

 

Thank God, the backup finished but WTF man?!!?!  Every time I tried to complete the update, it said it couldn't connect to the phone. EEEEEEEEEE!

B**ch was a freaking brick...

It took me 45 min of playing Genius Bar to fix it. 

thank you for giving me enough knowhow to figure it out. 

Finally after force quitting and restarting and doing a naked rain dance it began to update and verify software. 

It FINALLY finished!!!

After a painful 10 minutes of it sitting with less than 10% left I finally took a deep breath and unplugged it. 

I need a freaking Xanax and a shot of tequila. 

Talk about 1st World Problems!!!!

So the stupid app freaked out.  Like full on crashed and wouldn't let me do anything.  So I searched the error code.

1b2. Pull up the deactivation screen by entering the following sequence using the arrow keys on your device's remote:

Okay got the remote and....WTF?!?!?  Are you serious?

"Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up"

Am I resetting Netflix or getting unlimited lives in Contra....?

By the way it didn't work!!!!  I had to eventually uninstall and reinstall the stupid thing!  Whatever, I'm watching Black Mirror again so suck it Netflix Error!
