Device OS Update Stuck

My 9900 is unusable - even taking battery out the device still tries to do "Software Updates" and gets stuck on "Backing up your data" at 10%.  Does anyone know how I can stop the device trying to do this software update? - and if the answer is going back to OS 6, then the best way to do this for a non-technical user.
I am appalled at that RIM can release a piece of software which incapacitates my business communications!
MOD EDIT: Subject Title edited to reflect new topic.

I apologize for the lack of a response until now. 
First off, you cannot "go back" to OS 6 on a 9900 because it shipped from the factory with OS 7 pre-installed and you can't install an earlier version of OS than what it came with.
The solution is to actually try updating your OS again.  Obviously, something is going wrong and needs to be corrected.  By updating your OS again, we're going to try bypassing whatever is going wrong with it.
To start, plug your phone in to your PC and open BlackBerry Desktop Software.  Once your phone has been recognized by BDS, click Device at the top of the software then Update.  Choose the version with Currently Installed beside it and proceed.  That should solve your problem.
I hope that helps you.

  • [solved] Device Software Update stuck in process !

    Hi,
    Today, I tried to update the OS of my Bold 9700 from 5.0.0.400 to 6.0 (Bundle 2534) using BlackBerry Desktop Manager v6.1.0.35.
    I saved the datas on my BB, and then launched the update as asked, but after 1 hour of installation, the update got stuck on the 381st module (out of 496) !
    I don't know weather I should disconnect my BB and try to reinstall completely the OS or continue to wait (it have been 2hours now...). Here are some pictures (the software comes in French) :
    Thanks for helping !

    Edit: removed the pin from the img, thx !

    Hi, it's me again.
    I waited again, a long time (~6h) then the program told me I had a proble in my internet connection (which must have been an interuption), then clicked "Try again" and the programm worked again. Untill saving the applications, and stuck again.
    I then unplugged my BB, reboot my computer & BB, tried again and, surprisingly, everything went well !
    So I guess, I'm still not happy with RIM technologies, but my problem is now solved.
    See you around

  • Apps hanging up on update stuck in wait mode on desktop iPad mini

    Apps hanging up on update stuck in wait mode on desktop iPad mini

    All of these suggestions have worked for other users in the past, try them in order and maybe one will work for you.
    "Waiting apps"
    1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.
    4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
    6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

    WHAT'S your product code??
    To find what the latest available device software is, you’ll need your device’s product code. The code is printed on the white label beneath the battery (e.g. CODE: 0520001).

  • How can I create a new recovery key if you automatically removed my trusted device after update do iOS 8?

    How can I create a new recovery key if you automatically removed my trusted device after update do iOS 8?

    Hey -
    I need to do the EXACT same thing, but have no idea how. Has anyone out there done this?
    My situation is a tad different..this is a new Mac (and I'm a brand new Mac user). Tons of querks occur under my original account (videos won't run, Safari won't support certain plug-ins). I spent 6 hours on the phone w/ 4 different Apple Reps and nobody could fix it. A rep finally looked at my MacBook Pro in person today. He created a new account just to see if that would work and under that new account, everything works perfectly fine (no querks, can view video). He tried switching a million settings in my original account to no avail.
    He said to create a new account (as he did) and move my files over to the new account and then go back to the original and delete it. How do you do this?! I can't figure it out! I've got a new account created, but of course it just has the default folders in it w/ the little red icons next to them! Thanks in advance!

  • Desktop Manager asks for "insert BB device software updater disk"

    When open DM (v 5.0) a message "insert BB device software updater disk" for a file named "ApploaderWebSL-Upgrade[1].msi". I cant find it....help needed....
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK. Can you uninstall 5.0 first. Next download and save the DM 5.0 exe file somewhere on your computer. Instead of double-clicking the file to install it, first extract the contents of the file to a folder on your computer. You can use any zipping program (i.e.. Winzip, Winrar, 7-zip) to right click the EXE file and choose Extract To. On my computer I created a folder called "Desktop Manager" and extracted all of the contents into that. Now you can go into the folder that contains the extracted contents and run the "BlackBerrySetup.exe" file to install the software.
    If you just double click on the EXE file then the software extracts all required files to a temporary folder on your computer. After the installation is complete then the temporary files get deleted. So the main benefit to doing it above is that all of the installation files will always be located in a folder on your computer. So if you ever have to reinstall, repair, or find an MSI file that the program needs you don't have to download the software again.
    Let me know if that works out.

  • CS3 Device Profile Updates

    How can I tell which is the last Device Profile Update
    installed on the computer I work on?
    How can I tell if the Flash Lite 3 update was installed
    before the Device Profile Update #4 or not?
    Was the Flash Lite 3 update done by the built in CS3 updater
    automatically, or it sould have been installed manually?
    My apologies if the questions sound stupid.

    jsnandi,
    With all due respect, you misunderstand my question.
    You're telling me to install the Update #4. If I do it,
    seeing some changes in the status of the profiles could mean a
    successful update--and a successful downgrade too. Just think about
    it: if the #5 has already been installed and I overwrite it with
    #4, it causes changes too. This is not a solution, this is blind
    flying.
    The question is if there is a way to tell which is the latest
    update installed on this computer--prior to any actions.
    I don't want to do any guesswork, don't want to investigate
    any changes in the status of the profiles after an experimental
    install, want to know it for sure. Is there a way or not?

  • Can't sync after device software update

    I updated the device software on my 8530 to version 5.0.0.1000. Since then I have been unable to synchronize Organizer data between my 8530  and Outlook (2003) on my PC (Windows Vista) using the BlackBerry Desktop software (version 6.0.0.43). I keep getting the error message "Error encountered: Error code - 0x80040fb3. Check documentation". After clicking OK I get the message "Unable to complete synchronization".
    Media data synchronizes okay.
    Also, after the device software update, whenever I turn off and turn on my 8530 I get the message "Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException"
    Help appreciated!

    We have been down similar paths...    I upgraded the OS to 5.0.0.983 last night and it didn't go well.  It was getting the "Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException" error. 
    I wiped the whole BB and started fresh.  Then I was getting 0x80040fb3 errors for Contact sync'ing.
    I have ~700 contacts in Outlook and they sync'd fine. I went through the sync details screen and found a couple that once I deleted them, it would get to the end of the sync process and then give me that "Unable to Complete Synchronization" error.  In utter frustration, I moved all the contacts to another contact folder and created a "Test Test" contact.  It still had the unable to complete error - even with just ONE contact?  Anyone have any ideas?

  • HT201412 my device was updated and now is not working anymore, it is in recovery mode all the time

    my device was updated and now is not working anymore, it is in recovery mode all the time.
    what can i do???

    Delete the shortcut you have at the moment and then create a new one as follows:<br><br>
    #Use Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.<br><br>
    #Right click '''firefox.exe''' and choose '''Send To''', then '''Desktop (Create shortcut)'''<br>
    Bear in mind that you're using an BETA version of Firefox and you're likely to encounter similar issues in the future.
