Lucky you 
But seriously.
You can flash new firmware with a Flashtool as I did.
You can find firmware here.
You have to use latest version of flashtool (0.9.15.0). Installing flashtool and drivers is not so easy, especially if you use Windows 8 but it is not very hard too. Everything you need you will find here - there is a link for latest flashtool and guide how to flash stock rom.
