Official ICS update just bricked my phone

I was on Stock 905. Did the update. When it finally came up, no radios were working, phone not working, home screen not working. Everything completely slow and lagging. I decided to try to do a factory reset and all that comes up is the dead Android guy with an exclamation point on his stomach.
Been waiting for 6 months with crappy data for this?? So sick of this stupid phone.
 
Press both volume buttons. Perform another factory reset and then reboot system in the same menu. If this doesnt work, you may need to reinstall the update.
 
It will not even allow me to factory reset. I hold both power buttons down, choose recovery option and the dead android man just sits there. No option for reset comes up.
 
After you choose recovery and the "dead android man" shows up, you have to press both volume buttons again to see the recovery options.
 
Mine did the same thing & clearing the cache & data in recovery mode cleared it up & allowed it to boot properly.
 
I did the factory reset, but bunch of things funky. google accounts not syncing properly, apps not downloading, etc.
Very frustrating

Won't reset---totally screwed after update

after ICS update today my phone is unusable. apps and gmail working very slow or not at all. Gmail will not sync nor the gmail widget, etc.

so I move on to start the phone over with reset and then get the ICS update with a clean phone and no apps in the way.

There is a constant kindle app trying to install or update I can't get rid of...not sure if it's interfering with reset.

I try to reset and "Erase everything" and nothing happens. I can't even reset the phone after rebooting over and over. the reset will not effect a reset.

Any ideas on how to get my reset to occur????

If nothing I'll take it to V tomorrow and ask for help.

It's an old phone I gave my wife since she lost her phone. But now it's hardly usable period.
