Help - PC Rebooted half way through an N80 FW Upgr...

Hopefully someone will be able to help!
I was updating the Firmware in a brand new N80 and the PC decided to reboot half way through the process. Now the phone will not even power on.

So question. Isn't it about time at least the basic loader was doubled up, and/or refreshed from phone ram rather than this potentially unreliable process which seems to -- not infrequently -- result in bricking.
Good idea - but remember one thing - if you read the title of this post "Re: Help - PC Rebooted half way through an N80 FW Upgrade" it states that the PC rebooted - and Nokia has no control over this element of the proceedings unfortunately.
You could make a point that Nokia should have make the NSU more capable of recovering a phone in case of a previous failure, and this could indeed come in future incarnations of the application, but the PC will always be an element of the proceedings which are a "wildcard" in the sequence of events.
I'm pretty certain for every user who has reported a problem upgrading their firmware, there's probably about 6 or 7 (if not more) that have upgraded without problems - the trouble is that you don't hear about it because they haven't experienced any issues !
I myself have upgraded my firmware on the N70 and N95 two or three times without any problems.

  • 8900 Keeps Rebooting half way through a Reboot.

    Hi,
    I use my BlackBerry for Business, it's my primary phone for both work and personal. Recently I got a brand new 8900 and worked great. One night while away on business it froze for the first time, I pulled out the battery and rebooted it and it kept rebooting half way through. I could not connect it to a PC at all.
    T-Mobile offered no help and sent me to a third party repair guy who told me it would fix it for 60 dollars. This is frustrating as this phone for one is expensive and brand new and should not fail, and secondly, t-mobile offers no support.
    Now for the kicker, my roomate has the same phone and went and got the Droid. He leant me his 8900, also brand new sub 6 months where my first one is sub 3 months old.
    Well tonight, I installed the new bbm and it rebooted the phone and guess what....same thing. Now I have no phone and of course, no support from my carrier. What in gods name is going on with these phones?

    If there is no error message on the phone display that indicates what is going on ("AppError", "JVM Error", both with codes), then we must guess. You might have some luck with this article:

    As for support, front line support for BB's is, by contract, not provided by RIM. The carriers and authorized resellers are responsible for front line formal support to end users. It is possible to bypass your carrier and seek assistance direct from RIM, but such involves fees since you are bypassing your support agreement with your carrier. The "Support and Services" tab toward the top of these forum pages provide information about that. But, if you do go through your carrier for support, they can escalate into RIM at no fee to you if they so choose to.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Please Help. Photoshop installation failed half way through

    Initially I had downloaded the photoshop CC2014 trial once, I paid I wanted the CC version because I need the oil paint function which was taken out on the CC2014 version, so what I did is uninstall the CC2014 which was installed and working and proceeded to install the CC version but midway through installation it kept failing and telling me to restart my computer, I have done that at least half a dozen times, plus I've also tried the following:
    > I uninstalled every adobe app I had including CC
    > I have used the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner tool app
    > Have restarted my computer so many times I lost count and I still get the same error, half way through the installation process
    > And now the same thing is happening when I try to reinstall illustrator, this is a nightmare!
    BTW I'm not running any other software while doing this and have turned off the fire walls
    I'm on an Imac OS X version 10.9.5
    Please help I've spent so manny hours trying to solve this, it's driving me crazy and need to complete some work in photoshop I have deadline.

    Tat7 I would recommend reviewing your installation log files for actionable error messages.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret your installation logs at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.  You are welcome to post any additional errors you locate to this discussion.

  • Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"

    Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
    I have tried to restore my contacts and company data at least 20 times and every time half way through THE iPAD REBOOTS! When it boots back up it is at the brand new iPad screen.
    This makes me angry as I do not use the iPad for fun and games. I use it for business. My company data and records for the last year are gone. ALL of my out standing customer invoices are gone. ALL payments received are gone! ALL Business contacts and emails ARE GONE! All my company, personal email accounts and settings ARE GONE!
    What am I supposed to do now? In 6 hours I have to get on the road and conduct business with a empty blank factory out of the box iPad. How am I supposed to know who owes me money or who has paid their bills Apple? All of my meetings and calendar dates are GONE!
    Everything was supposed to be backed up and restored after the update!
    Question???WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS UPDATE WIPE OUT ALL SETTINGS AND APPS ON THE iPAD??? All the other updates left everything on the iPad intact and ONLY upgraded the IOS,and when it was done everything was still there.
    Yes! I have done everything. Rebooted computer, checked for updates, Hard booted iPad, Factory restored iPad to ios 5 twice, tried every usb port I have, unplugged all other usb components.
    Everytime half way through "Restoring iPad from backup..." The iPad turns off shows a spinning circle then shows the Apple logo and takes me to the brand new iPad setup screen.
    Apple, you have no idea the level of stress you have created today.....

    Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
    ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
    I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!

  • I have reset an Ipod 4g, and everytime I try to install ios 6.0, half way through is says failed.  Can anyone help me please?  I have tried 5 times... :(

    I recently purchased an Ipod 4G from a family friend.  When I set up my account, I originally was going to keep some of the items on it but found they were not appropriate for my 10 yr old.  So I reset the IPOD erasing everything and started new.  After numerous attempts, I have not been successful, at installing ios 6.0.  About half way through the process it says, download failed. 
    Is there a trick to doing this, or is something wrong?  Please help.
    Thanks,
    Twilasangel

    Assuming you are doing it by connecting the iPod to your computer and restoring via iTunes, at what stage of the process (what is listed in the status bar of iTunes) when it fails?

        I'm sorry to learn that you have endured the audio issues outlined in your post for almost 2 years SusanLM1! This is certainly not normal! Let's get to the bottom of this issue, first please confirm your phone model; your mention that you have the iPhone 5 but your post is on the iPhone 5S forum. Also, share the iOS version currently installed on your phone. What is your ZIP code? Does this happen mainly while you make/receive calls from a particular location (home, office, etc)?

  • Music playback - some tracks start half way through - help?

    I have an Ipod Touch 32gb 4th gen.
    On music playback, there are certain tracks that will not start at the beginning of the track and start half way through or even towards the end of the track.
    This does not occur on playback on my 32gb classic, an 8gb nano, on laptop or on Apple TV.
    The local apple store have replaced the Touch with another and the same happens on the same songs.
    Having had the classic for nearly 4 years with no faults, I thought I'd step into 2010 and get with it a little, only to find that music playback is problematic.
    All software is up to date, I have been through restores etc. with the local Apple Store.
    Any suggestions guys?

    We are having the same issue with our iPod touches and iPad, and yes, it is very annoying. I came here searching for a solution, but all I see is you all with the same problem/question.
    I'm assuming this behavior probably has something to do with the new AirPlay in iOS and its ability to stream media to another iOS device and pick up where it left off. However, I find this extremely annoying for music, since songs start halfway through when in the middle of a playlist.
    I have found no solution to this issue, and it is one Apple needs to resolve, especially when we have "Remember Playback Position" UNchecked for all of our music.
    Here's hoping Apple puts a little more effort in the future to help us actually manage our media well, instead of crap feature bloat like Ping, Genius, etc.

    Could be a defective SIM.  Try a new one from your carrier.

  • Migration assistant froze half way through me setting up my new MacBook and i can't reboot it?

    I'm trying to set up my MacBook Pro but my internet connection is pretty dodgy so i was half way through transferring my files with the migration assistant when on my PC it came up with an error message. I restarted it on the PC, only there is no option to restart it on the Mac so I'm not sure what to do now. Help?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The only method to close Migration Assistant now is to hold the Power button until the computer turns off, and then, turn it on again. Maybe some of the files you wanted to transfer aren't on the MacBook, so you will have to start Migration Assistant again

  • HELP - iPhone starts back up but crashes half way through

    I cant back up my iphone. After changing to a windows 7 PC, my iphone will not back up. It attempts it but seems to crash half way through, I have tried doing it without pics, still no joy. I cant update to the latest iphone software as it always backs up first, which it wont do. Have reinstalled itunes, tried a different USB port, left it over nigh, no joy. Seems to be a common problem, but hard to find a solution. Any solutions out there?

    Try create a fresh user account on your computer and do the back-up by following this link (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137) that will help isolate the problem if it's actually corrupted files in your computer causing this crash!!

  • Cancelled back up half way through! help!!

    So when i was installing my i cloud , half way through i accidently deleted it! I only have half of my photos on my phone. However when i go into my back up info it shows that it is still there however i cannot update it from my previous version.
    is it best to reset my phone and try and re install my previous information?

    To start the restore process over, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings (provide the password for your ID if prompted), then go through the setup screens on the phone again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.
    Be sure the phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.
