Help!!! 3G bricked after software upgrade

I have a 3G 16GB which I *updated to the newest OS release today* (after being asked by iTunes). Now the phone is kind of *bricked showing changing/moving grey lines on a white background* whenever started. I have put the phone in recovery mode with success and iTunes then asks me to restore the phone which however *fails with an error 1611*. Same result on multiple attempts. Has anyone seen the same or can advise on how to restore the phone?

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275 has info on how to fix error 1611.

I've tried this tool from the Cisco website RV0xxV3_FirmwareRescueUtility_v4.0.0.7 without success, the problem is there, is a way you can get the router up and running again ?
Can i run a TFTP server and upload a new software, or i ther a FirmwareRescueUtility for rv042g ??

Good morning Mogens Pedersen
Thanks for using our forum
I am a Cisco network support engineer, I have a recommendation, before you upgrade any device in the future. Always keep in mind to make a backup of your data, in this way if you have to reset the device to factory settings you will not lose that information. Having said that, reset the router to the fabric configuration using the back little button, remember when you do that, you are going to loose your current configuration.
Also here I leave a link for you to download the firmware rescue utility for your router:

I hope you find this answer useful, if it was satisfactory for you, please mark the question as Answered

Since updating the software on my iPhone 3gs it has developed the so called "white screen of death". The phone has not been dropped or damaged in anyway, the problem only developed after software upgrade. Rung apple and they were less than helpful

since updating my iphone 3gs software it has developed the so called "white screen of death" this happened immediately after software install. It has never been dropped or damaged. I have tried the solution which seems to pop up most of holding down the power button and the home button for 10 seconds but this hasnt helped at all. Tried ringing apple, who were less than helpful and disinterested as the phone is out of warranty. I am hoping there is a solution which doesnt mean shelling out for a new phone! any ideas?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of these.
If these fail, then:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

IPad - after software upgrade the APN settings keep resetting by themselves. There are multilple accounts of this happening. Please help.

Hello,
I have a problem with an iPad 2. After the software upgrade to iOS 5 the APN settings keep resetting all by themselves (I set the APN, I get out of the setting by pressing the back arrow on the top left of the screen, I get back in there and the APN setting is gone). Of course, the internet connection si not working. I've seen other people having the same problem on their iPads after the upgrade.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

I too am experiencing this issue - on an iPad 2 using a UK BT DATA plan SIM. This is not an issue with the SIM, as I have tried it in a different iPad and it works without any problems.
I have also tried all recent iOS updates, hoping it would overcome the issue - but no joy.
Can we have some assistance from the fine people at Apple please???
It is getting rather infuriating

TBolt bricked after software update

Hi All: I'm a newb to Android--migrated from HTC TP2/Windows 6.1 just 4 days ago. Early this morning I got a notification about a software upgrade from Verizon. Selected okay, watched the progress of the download bar for about five minutes. Phone then apparently started installing the upgrade as another progress bar appeared and completed. When it finished, phone powered off. Turned on and showed the first HTC screen. After about 20 seconds it powered off again. Turned on and showed first HTC screen. After about 20 seconds powered off again. You get the idea. This went on 10 or 15 times until I removed battery. Turned back on and same on/off sequence repeated indefinitely.
Called VZW tech support in hopes I could save my settings/customizations. No dice. They had me do a hard reset. Unfortunately, after that, the same on/off sequence started up again. They said there was nothing else they could do. Since I hadn't had my phone for 14 days, I was told to contact my vendor, which I did. They're sending a new phone due to arrive Tuesday.
FWIW, I had installed only seven apps on the phone: Juice Defender Ultimate, Juice Plotter, AppsInstaller (not yet used), AutoKiller Memory Optimizer (not yet used), SeePU (not yet used), and Advanced Task Killer Pro. In case it matters, I installed AutoKiller Memory Optimizer simply because it was recommended during the install of Juice Defender as an additional battery saver. Its blurb indicates that one of its features (setting minfree values) only works with rooted phones, however my phone was not rooted nor do I have any desire to do so.
My questions are (1) what did I do wrong if anything, and (2) I'd like to keep my phone up-to-date, but I'm understandably reluctant to allow another of these upgrades in the future lest I wind up with another doorstop. Are there any other options for updating firmware that are less risky?
Thanks for any help/suggestions you all can offer.

Thanks for the response Wildman. At the time of my firmware update, I had only used ATK to manually kill some bloatware tasks. It wasn't set up to autokill anything. I hadn't done anything yet with Autokiller Memory Optimizer. Whether it might have been running in the background or not at the time of the update, I don't know. I'll definitely check out System Panel and thanks for the link to it.
As for not giving the update enough time to complete, I let it go to the initial HTC screen-power off-back to HTC screen-power off, for at least six or eight times (probably about 8 minutes) before pulling the battery. It didn't just sit on the HTC screen for a long time. If it had, I would have let it cogitate for a while.
Once I receive a replacement phone on Tuesday, I'm sure I'll get a request to do another firmware update, and I'm a little nervous about that after the first crash. This time I'll definitely stop any app killers beforehand, but are there any other processes I should kill off or watch out for? This is a total newb question, but If I brick another phone, is there any way I can go to a Verizon store and get things flashed there instead of having to return it to the vendor yet again? Much as I like this device so far, having to return another phone would really start getting tedious.
Thanks again for your help and advice.
verizon won't ever flash updates, etc. all they ever do is offer replacements, and since you bought it somewhere else, you will likely be stuck going through that vendor. it could just be bad luck. these things have issues sometimes....just like all electronics. if i were you, i would activate your new device when you get it and search for available updates before you customize it and download any apps. after it's activated and up and running, go to menu, settings, software update, check new. it is possible that they will ship you a new tbolt that already has the most recent firmware on it. if not though, and it does show an available update, it is up to you as to whether or not you want to install it. if the phone worked fine without it, i wouldn't. that last update didn't really improve anything on the tbolts that already worked just fine.

Help needed: iPhone 4 software upgrade failed many times

Hello. I've bought an iPhone 4, which its operating system is 4.3, and was prompt by iTunes about this iPhone 4 software upgrade to iOS 4.3.5. I've downloaded the software and waiting for quite some time and after the dowloading has completed, the file will be processed. After processing, there is a popup saying that somehow the software upgrade failed and said something like make sure that your connection is correct etc. Do you have any idea on how to solve this issue?
Help me, please. Thank you very much.

OK. Connect the BlackBerry to your PC via the USB cable and start the BlackBerry Desktop Software.

Click on Device > Applications.
Scroll through and find PassWord Keeper and DocumentsToGo (or WordToGo, SheetsToGo, etc.) and click to install, or press the + symbol to add those apps to your device.

CIFS AO down after software upgrade

Hi all,
i'm currently starting software upgrade procedure in my WAAS environment.
I'm upgrading from 4.1.5b to 4.2.3c
after rebooting my WAE's i'm having the following alarm:
Critical Alarms:
        Alarm ID                 Module/Submodule               Instance

However even if i start the CIFS Accelerator the alarm still persists.
nkrwa222(config)#accelerator cifs ena

It takes up to 2 minutes to start the traffic optimization after the license is activated.

I'm running no application accelerator cause i'm using transport license. And so i do not really need CIFS AO however i need to clear the alarm especially on CM.
Any ideas how i can fix this?
thanks for your input

Dieter,
Correct, you can not enable any accelerators if you only have the Transport license.
I'd suggest you execute the following commands to see if the alarm clears.
pdi-7341-19(config)#no wafs edge enable
pdi-7341-19(config)#no wafs core enable
pdi-7341-19(config)#no accelerator cifs enable

Ipod no longer works in car after software upgrade

After doing the most recent software upgrade on my ipod touch, the device is no longer recognised when i cnnect it to my car stereo (infinity). How can i uninstall the last upgrade??

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, sometime the iOS update breaks compatibility and yo have to wait for either an iOS update or a firmware update for your car system.

Missing music in Itunes after software upgrade

I upgraded to ITunes 11 today; I was suprised not to have any of my music in ITunes when I started the program after the upgrade. What happen to all of my songs and APPS? and How do I get them pack?
Thanks

I'm having the same issue. I'm using Windows 7 on a Dell PC. When I first upgraded iTunes to 10.4, the store would not load at all. I uninstalled every Apple product including Quicktime, and reinstalled them. iTunes seemed to be working normally for a while, but now it has difficulty closing, and when I open it again my library is gone. I have reconstructed my library and playlists several times, and this keeps happening! The store does seem to be working, but is slow to load initially. I have also excluded iTunes from my virus scan (I read that could help). Apple, this upgrade is full of quirks!
