ss,
I had a similar problem. Here's a post where I describe exactly what I did to fix it, in a very step-by-step fashion:

You keep replying that you can't do anything because it's stuck at one dot. I know it probably *seems* like you can't do anything else because of that, but it's usually not the case. You'll need to use the paperclip reset method to get it off that screen, fully charge it, and then try the update. I couldn't find a clear step-by-step guide to updating elsewhere, so I made it. I hope it helps you.
