This happened to me this weekend also, when trying to upgrade from
firmware version 3.60.1.4.1-GT701-WG

Which version of the firmware did you have?

Using the "Firmware Recovery" option, rather than the "Firmware
Upgrade" option, fixed my problem (from Mac OS X).

The Recovery version is QW05.5-3.60.3.0.7.6-GT701-WG
