Crash during firmware update

I just tried to update my iPod Shuffle. I ran iPod Updater, it said "Update needed" and I clicked update button. In the middle of the update, Windows crashed and the iPod seems to be dead now. It isn't recognized by Windows anymore and iPod updater just says "Plug in the iPod for update" and when I plug it in, nothing happens. Even when I press the battery button, nothing happens (and I'm sure the battery isn't empty becasue before the incident, when I pressed the battery button, it was showing green). I tried everything: reseting the iPod, restarting computer, reinstalling software and nothing is helping.
I suspect that the firmware of the device got fried during the update procedure (since the update was aborted halfway because of crash). Is there any way to revive the device (reflashing the firmware somehow) than taking it to service?

Windows XP Pro
Windows XP Pro

My problem is the same.. If i connect my ipod shuffle on the USB port(s) my PC can't recognize it and in "My Computer" folder there is new device called "Removible Disk (F:)" but I can't open or format it.. I hope in a fast solution, 'cause i can't live without music! :P

New Zen 8GB crashed during firmware update; now I can't get it to reboot or connect to a compu

I went and exchanged my "problematic white screen" ZEN 8GB for a new one this evening. When I came home, I attached the new unit to my computer and started to perform the required firmware upgrades. The upgrades downloaded fine, but after the installation started, they seemed to freeze. I waited for an hour before I did anything, but finally had to assume that the update had malfunctioned and would never finish on its own. At that point I clicked "cancel" in the window monitoring the upgrade installation, and thought I could just start the process anew. Unfortunately, my computer no longer recognizes the ZEN when it's plugged into a USB port.
I rebooted my computer, just in case that was the problem, but it still can't find the ZEN when searching for devices to AutoUpdate. As for the Zen itself, I can turn it on and off, but the screen remains black (i.e., no info on screen). If I reset it, the screen flashes the word "Creative" only. If I try to do a Recovery, I can't get any text to appear on the screen. I can't even reformat the ZEN via my computer because they're no longer speaking. I assume that the interrupted firmware installation caused this problem, and that the ZEN just doesn't have enough of an operating system installed to work properly. Is there any fix for this that I can tackle myself Or, is it back to the store to return this one, too I have noticed a lot of white screen flashings as I've been working with the new ZEN, so perhaps this just wasn't meant to be. Any words of advice are certainly appreciated, however.

Same happened to me and I only had the thing a few hours. I may leave it connected overnight to see if the battery needs charging but if nothing happens it's going back. I've tried plenty of suggestions. The Creative screen flashes on when I plug it in but then just sits there. Reseting does nothing and how can you do anything to it if it's not recognised by the PC. Vista did see it before the update attempt. Wondered whether to throw XP back on.
Do I have to resort to the new ipod Nano
OK I've done it. Somewhere on this forum it said to disconnect the Zen from the PC.
Now at the same time, press and hold the play/pause button, put a pin into the reset button and hold down the on/off switch (yes all 3 in that order at the same time). Recovery mode came on and I tried to uninstall the firmware update from previously - it didn't do it but I updated the latest firmware again anyway and this time it worked. I guess the last attempt didn't take.

Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 for details.
Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Computer crashed during software update

Currently using OS X Lion, started the latest software update and computer crashed during the update. I forced the computer to turn off, but when I turn it on, it returns to the same "crashed" condition (grey screen with an apple logo in the center, plus the time symbol spinning).
Greatly appreciate if anyone can help me. Thanks!

Back up all data, then boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup) and reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

IPhone 4 crashed during app update, apps are blank

I had 24 app updates in the app store, tried to update through the phone. It crashed during the update, and now all the to-be-updated apps are showing up with a white generic logo and 'waiting...' message, updates do not go through. The app store still shows 24 updates, but when I go into that page it just spins. I have rebooted twice. I will not be close to my phone backup until tomorrow. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

C3-01 crashed during software update (to v6.00) an...

I used Nokia Ovi Suite to upgrade the software on my three-month-old C3-01 via USB cable. During the upgrade, after backing up phone content, during the actual installation stage, I got all sorts of random error messages from Ovi Suite (eg 'SIM not found, insert SIM' or 'Connection with phone lost, reconnect phone' or so). Eventually the whole upgrade process crashed, my phone got totally messed up and now I can't even use it. I turn it on, the screen keeps flashing in a random manner, and eventually, after a minute or so, the phone just simply hangs and turns off. As I can't even turn it on, or rather, keep it turned on, I can't use Ovi to fiddle with it. So now the phone is totally useless. What to do next? Is there anything I can try?

2010 Mac Pro Crash and Firmware Update Issue

My 2010 Mac Pro crashes for no apparent reason. I have a couple FCP projects to finish and I cannot rely on this machine. I have the most recent problem report details and a pesky Firmware update that appears corrupted and refuses to install.
I've repaired permissions using Disk utility, applejack, and even used memtest to check that I didn't have a bad RAM module. All tasks ran successfully.
These may be 2 separate problems. I'm not sure at this point.
I'm using only 1/3 of the drive capacity for the OS drive and about on my Final Cut Media drive.
FCP is compatible. Been using it for nearly a year. Using a third drive for a Time Machine Back-up of all FCP media. The firmware update is specifically for the 2010 Mac Pro - Mac Pro EFI Update 1.5

OK, thanks.
So I restored the original firmware, and I got through the update.
Here is what the update instructions should say:
"Once the flashing starts continue holding until the light is steady again."
I thnk my problem was that I released the button too soon.

Rv082 v3 bricked during firmware update

     I have an RV082 hardware version V03 that has been in service for about a year.   I tried to update the firmware to 4.2.2.08 from 4.1.1.01. All appeared to be going well, then the browser timed out. I waited a while (10 + minutes) and powered down the RV082, then powered it back up.
     On boot all lights flashed, then it settled on the LAN link 1, DMZ Mode, internet, and system lights all lit solid green, but the Diag light lites red for 5 seconds, then out for 5 seconds over and over.
     I have tried the recovery TFTP procedure (hold reset down while booting, release when Diag light lites, run RV042_1.3.7.2_050727.exe). Booting with the reset button pressed is the same as without. The recovery utility generates an "Login Fail" error in a separate red window after about a minute (with 192.168.1.1 in the address). When I click OK in that it exits the recovery program
     I also tried the method of hold reset for 5 seconds during power on then look for firmware update page at http://192.168.1.1. I server not found.
     I can Ping 192.168.1.1 and have the computer set to 192.168.1.5. Using an IP scanner I can see the RV082 MAC address and IP address but nothing else.
     I scoped out the power supply. It is providing 5.07 VDC both connected to MB and open. Ripple is <.003 Vpp.
     The unit is several months out of warranty.
     Is there any other procedure for unbricking these units? I have the wherewithall to JTAG but don't see how to do it on this.
     The unit has been replaced with a new one, I would just like to get this one back to life as a spare.
Thanks for any help

Iphone crash during software update.....now won't connect

Hey everyone,
I was trying to update the software on my 3gs, but during the update itunes stopped recognizing my iphone and now the phone is giving me the connect to itunes screen because it needs to be restored. Now, the problem is that when I try to connect the phone to my pc it tells me that it's in recovery mode and it needs to be restored, however, when I click retore it gets stuck on the "preparing iphone for restore sceen" and sometimes it stops and gives me the 0xE0000065 error message. So I tried to open ports 88 and 443 and try again, but the same thing keeps happening. If anybody has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know, thanks.
