Rant on/
Why does everyone think they have to root their device - especially when the Ermine release is only a beta release? Doing that is asking for trouble in a big way if you aren't sure what you're doing.

Rant off/

Now to TRY and solve your problem.

First, check through the forum for what other have had to do to recover from similar disasters.

Then check you have the correct and a working golden update zip.
Next, use a USB stick about 1GB size and make sure it is formatted FAT or FAT32.
Make sure the golden update is in the roor of the USB stick and named update.zip - not update.zip.zip or anything else.
Then follow the instructions given in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=148055
Hopefully that will clear the problems. If not get back and let us know and we'll see if it can be taken further.
