From what I've heard of 'bricked' (Olympus) cameras is that once the firmware has been corrupted, there is no resetting it, but..... there is a way & that's likely what Olympus tech's use themselves internally but this guy, LightSnow Dev, has linked directly to those updates & provided a method of updating (& downgrading) using the SD card. https://lightsnowdev.com/Olympus/

Oh that it should be so simple, Am!
I'm afraid it usually involves a trip to the lovely technicians in Sydney or Perth ...
I've never tried the restore method, but quite a number I know have successfully back-graded a functional camera. I've never heard of it resurrecting a bricked one.
