How to rescue lens after thwarted firmware upgrade?

My 4 yo yanked the cord between camera and computer when I was upgrading firmware to ver 1.1 for my Lumix/Leica Nocticron 42.5. I have an Olympus Pen E-P5 and used Olympus' Digital Camera Updater for the process. It gave me a due warning not to touch the camera (red stop signs at the rear screen) and this was all it took to trigger my daughters curiosity.

Now the lens is a paperweight. It produces no image and isn't even 'seen' by the camera. I have also tried it on a Lumix GM1 to no avail. I also tried to upgrade via the Lumix camera (download to formatted memory card), but the Lumix simply states that "lens was not attached properly". Does anyone have a fix?
