BB Z10 not turning on after 10.2 software update

I am really unsatisfied with this new update. I upgraded to the new OS this morning and after restarting to allow the new OS to take affect, my phone never came on. I did that after 8am on Saturday March 22nd. It is now 11:33 pm and my phone is still unable to restart. It boots up and gets to the point where the bbm symbol appears and indicates that it is 100% loaded, but the phone never turns on. It will display the 100% loaded bbm symbol until the battery dies and it shuts off or until I do a battery pull. I've done multiple battery pulls and tried to restart the phone, but the phone will not turn on and will not get any further than the bbm symbol that displays while the phone is loading. The phone was fine until I upgraded to the new software. Hopefully someone can help me with this issue.

Yikes! It's a pity  you did not back up before...as you suspect, if your device will not boot up, then you can't take a backup. Backups require interaction between your PC and your device...your device not properly functioning would preclude that interaction. This is the reason backups are always done before they are needed...they are not a reactionary thing to do but, rather, precautionary.
Given what you describe, it is unlikely you'll be able to take a backup...so sad. Recovery may or may not work via LINK OS reload. If not, then you would want to use instead an AutoLoader as that normally has the ability to load an OS to a device in the condition you describe.
Good luck and let us know!

  • Phone will not turn on after IOS 4.0 update

    So I updated to IOS 4.0 this afternoon. However during the process of copying all of my songs, vdeos etc back onto the phone it was interrupted and the phone reset itself.
    Since then I have not been able to turn my phone on. All I get is the apple logo, then the screen flashes white and the phone tries to boot up again.
    I cannot even get the phone into DFU mode to restore from my backup.
    Does anyone have any siggestions as to where I can go from here?

    I'm in the same position except the upgrade and sync went fine. It all seemed to have upgraded fine, even put my apps in folders.
    About an hour later noticed it would not switch on. I forced quit and it turned on. Now it will only come out of sleep if it plugged in to itunes or if I force quit.
    I have done a full reset which again went fine, restored from back up fine. Still will not come out of sleep without me holding down the power and home button for a few seconds. How can i put it back to the happy world that i was in before I upgraded.
    I have seen a couple of suggestions but all seem to be if you are using a MAC, i'm on a PC.

  • My iPod will not turn on after interrupted iOS 6 update. Please Help!

    I need help with my iPod Touch 4th Generation! It was in the morning and I was getting ready for school, and I saw my iPod needed the iOS 6 update. So I updated it, and when it was installing (showing that bar) I accidently was late, and took my iPod with me. I left the Wifi Area and now when it turns on the apple logo darkens and then it goes to a greyish blueish screen. Sometimes when it turns on the apple logo darkens and then goes to the same screen with a bunch of lines across it. What happened, and how do I fix it? If I turn it off it turns on by itself and then does the same as above. Please help me! 

    Try doing a DFU restore in iTunes: http://appletoolbox.com/2010/07/using-dfu-restore-to-solve-iphone-problems/

  • My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update!

    My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update! Before this all happened, I noticed that my apps crashed unexpectedly, it was laggy, and it decides to reset on its own at times. I CAN'T charge or plug it into my computer. Also, my home button is sunk in but my sleep/wake button at the top is most definitely not. I know my iPod was not running out of battery and I did not even power it off. I am very disappointed but I really need it to turn on =/

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                          
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:       
    Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time.

    In nearest AppleStore they say that there is a problem with logic part of notebook,
    And the minimal price of repair will be cost half price of macbook air.
    In other words, they say what they will not searching the problem of this,
    they only will replace mother board.
    Would you suggest other solutions ?
    May be somebody else have this problem ?

    OK. I wasn't quite sure. So, the first thing to try is Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM followed by Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). If neither can be effected then take it in for service as there has been a serious hardware failure.
