Applied OTA update and now phone doesn't work!

I applied the OTA update offered this morning to my Droid RAZR MAXX. After the phone rebooted, the screen was blank.
When I reboot now, I see the Motorola log and then nothing. I can hear the boot sound, but I can't see anything.
I tried to reset the phone. When I select the recovery option, the phone reboots and then shows the little android guy on his back with an exclamation point over him. I continue on the the next menu and choose the factory reset/wipe data option. After it successfully completes, I reboot.
All of this and I still don't have a working phone.
I took my phone to the local Verizion store and all they could tell me to do was contact Assurion and make an insurance claim. I have a real problem with this considering it was Verizion's update that caused my phone to quit working.
Anyone have any ideas?

Are you attempting the reset through the phone settings or the manual hard reset?
Through the menu it is settings-privacy-factory data reset-reset phone-erase everything.
If you are unable to reach the main menu to go into settings you will need to perform the manual hard reset.
1. Power the phone off.
2. Press and hold the volume up/down key and then press and hold the power button.
3.When you see the boot menu release all buttons that you are holding.
4.Press the volume down key to choose recovery then press the volume up key.
5. From the droid triage screen press and hold the volume down key, then press and release the volume up key, then release the volume down key.
6.Choose wipe data/factory reset and then press the power button.
7.Choose yes to delete all user data and then press power button.
8.Choose reboot system now and then press the power button.
If this does not work/already what you have done then it is going to be a device issue that will need to be fixed by either a) calling motorola and seeing if they have a fix for it or b) going into a VZW store and having them update the software/flash the device if they agree to do that.
If nothing else works, defective device hopefully it's under warranty.
Good luck.

Installed Update and Now CUDA doesn't work.

I just allowed my machine to do an Adobe update and now when I open any project it displays the following message "This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration, which is not available on this system. Mercury Playback Engine Software Only will be used." Until now I have been able to utilize the GPU acceleration beautifully. Is it just a bad update ? Or does someone know how to fix it?

You will need to redo the 'hack' to get your card working again. The update overwrites the text file.

I installed lion without software updating and now itunes doesn't work and my computer crashes when loading photobooth?

I didn't bother to install the software updates my computer needed to do. It said something about prepping for lion, but I thought if I installed lion it wasn't neccesary. Now seeing as I have all these bugs, I feel like that was a mistake. I also did not bother to make a time machine thing to go back on, or any copy of my snow leopard hard drive. Is my only option now to make a clean install of snow leopard with the cd and wipe everything, then install lion again?
I tried using command R on startup to reinstall lion, but it says my disks are locked.

this morning my mac air asked me if I wanted to install the software update available and I did.
When I restarted the pc it connected to the internet fine (I can see it because skype is connected) but safari doesn't open the page to navigate. Hence I cannot display the safari page to look up to an internet web site.
what should I do?
Thanks

You need to update to Safari 5.1
Safari 5.0.6 is for Leopard v10.5.8, see system requirements here > Safari 5.0.6

I downloaded iPhoto update and now it doesn't work

How do I fix iPhoto after an unsuccessful update? Today I downloaded the iPhoto update from the App store. When I try to open the program it quits unexpectedly. When I try to open it again it says it has dectected inconsistencies in my library. I click "repair library database" and when it gets to 99% complete it shuts down and vanishes from my screen. I try everything all over again with the same result. It was working fine until the update. Help!

Back up your iPhoto library, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your library

I am having this issue too. After doing all of the suggested ideas I found online, I am still stuck in "waiting for activiation" mode. I live out of the country, and my cell phone is not connected to my carrier's network for the next month (so I really have a glorified ipod touch).
If anyone finds a fix, please pass this info along.
I have already tried:
resetting network settings
log in and out of iMessage/ Facetime
log in and out of iCloud
log in and out of iTunes on my phone
full restore mode on iTunes on my computer

Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay for repairs in store because I didnt get the Apple care plan when I purchased it. Sprint said it may be a phone problem not sure if I should take it to Sprint or Apple...I just need my phone

I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

I updated my IGO primo, and now it doesn't work at all. what can you advice me now?

If it's stuck on the Apple logo, you'll have to force it into recovery mode and restore it. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

IF you had icloud backups and Camera Roll turned on in Settings on the wet phone, then you can restore that backup to an iOS device, but not a computer.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Once you get a replacement phone...
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
This link gives another overview of backup and restore:

If recovery mode did not work, try DFU mode, but don't use the latest backup to restore from after you have set it up "as new ipod" again.

Thank you. I've been looking online for refurbished iphones but that is cheaper than buying a refurbished phone.

I clicked "yes" to upgrade iTunes and now it doesn't work. I get an error message stating my computer is missing MSVCR80 and then a message stating Error 7 (Windows Error 126). I've tried reloading iTunes twice. What can I do?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
