Is my GPY Bricked??

Is it not possible to re-flash with the same version of firmware?
You can re-flash any firmware version. The bootloader doing that does not know what it is loading.
And is it possible to download the firmware files for manual installation - the utility allows it but where do I get the files from?
Older versions are available here as tar packages: https://software.pycom.io/downloads/GPy.html. The most recent versions are not. There was an indication that Pycom will change that.
Besides that, either your GPY/expansion combo has a hardware problem, or the flash content is somewhat disarranged. In the latter case a full erase with esptool.py and re-flash will help.

@paul-thornton 'Interesting' is not the word I was using at the time. It has happened again since but I can't replicate the issue by design.
A few other odd things are happening with this particular GPY so it would be useful to re-flash the firmware, but the Update Tool won't allow that to happen. Is it not possible to re-flash with the same version of firmware? And is it possible to download the firmware files for manual installation - the utility allows it but where do I get the files from?
The responses to trying to update the firmware are as per the original message. The 'flash read err' message shows up AFTER I have tried to do an update.
