Firmware update on TX-NR616 wiped all settings

I've not updated my 616 since I bought it earlier in the year.

I ran the network update, left it running and it reported it was complete. When switching my amp back on I'd lost everything, all my settings, all my calibration, the whole lot. It took me months to get it how I liked, and I've lost it all

Is this normal with a firmware update?

Oh and now it's telling me there's another update available! What is going on
