Firstly check out the update procedure again. Carefully.

You can do absolutely nothing with the bricked lens. The camera don't know there is a lens attached and you cannot initiate the update procedure. AFAIK the only way is to send the lens to the Olympus for repair.

It happend to me a few weeks ago with the 300mm (I think computer lost USB connection during the upgrade). The repair was covered by the warranty, so no real harm done (and they cleaned the lens for free;-) . But I will check what happens to the bricked lens after the extended warranty expires, and if the repair is not free, I will never try to upgrade it myself. It seems it's all too easy for something to go wrong.
