First, open the side port, and use a paper clip and punch that little hole, it will do a hard reset.
You need at least a 60% charge for recovery mode, and always do updates while connected to the external power cable.

Do a reflash of the upgrade, and do a factory reset and let us know how it went.

Yes, the base version for all.

As far as I know, it's the only restore file around. Can't comment if/what you'll lose.

If the 2.2 file don't work, nothing will! You might be stuck in the "read only" mode. Some have returned their S7 to Dell for repair but at least one person has gotten out of that mode. Not sure if there is a thread on that subject or one got OT. Do a search on "read only".
