I updated my iPhone sofware/firmware/OS today @ 8:00 AM when it iTunes allowed you to download and install in my region. I am now officially bricked! I can’t downgrade and I keep on getting “We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-9838)”

This is crap!!! What if I had an emergency?!!! This software should not require some validation at the end of installing it or the phone won’t work!!! Who’s lame-brain idea was that!
