I have a Controller running firmware version: 7.0.1 r2269
Reciever works as expected, control from web interface works.

Steps:
1. Turn on the controller
2. I get update request for version 7.0.1 r2287
3. I start the update (not much choice)
4. 'Copying update' screen show, but frozen
   No percentage shown, activity indicator doesn't rotate.
5. Reboots after +/- 26 seconds
6. Back to 2

Tried:
1. Factory reset: same behaviour
   Factory reset worked OK
   I could configure Controller and Reciever
   Reciever firmware got updated when I selected my Squeezecenter as music source
   Then I got stuck updating the controller, as before.
2. Downgrade: same behaviour
   Used roommates 7.0 server, firmware r20??

Since I can't get out of the software update screen, my controller is pretty much useless now.


Same symptoms for me as well. Resetting to factory and then immediately prompts me to update once I select my squeezebox.
