Garmin Edge 530 update v4.10 stuck

Question

After updating the device into 4.10, it got stuck in the loading page... 
 since the device starts to reboot itself without control... there's nothing that I can do. 
 Neither resetting manually.

I also had the same problem with my 2 month old Edge 530, and I was eventually able to resolve it by myself. 
 1. You can get into mass storage mode if you connect the rebooting Garmin to your PC, then hold the lap button just as it starts powering on. 
 2. I deleted what was in Garmin\NewFiles, but this didn't solve the problem for me 
 3. I was advised by Garmin to download the Webupdater from here https://www8.garmin.com/products/webupdater/howtoinstall.jsp and to update the software again, but this also didn't solve the problem for me. 
 4. I deleted my activities and courses from Garmin\Activities and Garmin\Courses. This solved the problem - I disconnected the Garmin and it booted perfectly - finally. 
 I suspect the problem was caused because I had an activity and/or a course in progress while the update was executed. I suspect that if i had have only deleted the most recent activity, that may have been sufficient. 
 So I'm pissed off with Garmin for getting my device to ask to update its software while i was running an activity (on the start line of Amy's Gran Fondo no less). And I'm pissed that Garmin hasn't known how to fix this. 
 Please upvote if this works for you too.
