Honestly, all these problems after every OS update threads wreak of either a propensity for bad luck or trollish attention seeking behaviour. An automatic reboot of the device is built into the OS upgrade process as evidenced by the "bubbles" screen during the reboot sequence.
As for CNBC, they're pretty much a bunch of tools. I only watch it for the tickers and announcements. I swear that if I see one more ****** touting supply side as the answer to the failure known as supply side I'm going to puke.
Before Wiping or Debricking. Use Desktop Manager (DM) to back up at least your settings and apps. I did my own backup and then restoration of mp3, pictures, video, etc.
DM will also restore settings/apps. But the Appworld will retain what you purchased or downloaded so you can regain them.
