99% no way to fix it by opening it up. If you are very good with electronics, have a tsop flasher, etc, you could maybe, maybe, maybe, lift the chip and flash it manually, and solder it back down, but not for the faint of heart, and possibly not even possible.

The problem is, that if the firmware update died in the middle, there is no firmware to tell it what model it is, etc, in order to accept a new firmware. That's why removing the chip and doing a raw flash might work but you need the know-how and the tools to do it properly.
