You have a stray (broken) update package (given what you've said, I'll be guessing some Duokan crap) stuck in the USB root. The updater should take care of removing it when hitting that error. That this isn't happening is not a good sign.

If you installed the Coward's Rescue Pack and not only the Rescue Pack, hard-reboot the device while plugged to a computer and try to fix it from diags.

If not, you're probably screwed unless you open it up for serial access.

Of course, all of this is assuming Duokan doesn't do some weird and evil crap to the rest of the system...
