Lumia 1020 Unable to update - error 80072ee7

Hi, I'm in the UK and have a Lumia 1020 on the 3 UK network which I'm currently unable to perform an update with. I understand Cyan / 8.1 is available.
Current status:
Software release: Lumia Black
OS version: 8.0.10517.150
Firmware revision number: 3051.40000.1345.1003
Phone Update:
I have 'Automatically download updates if my data setting allow it' selected. My data settings allow data connection.
Update status: We are currently unable to check for updates. (80072ee7)
If I press 'check for updates' I get 'Checking for updates' for a very long time if i keep the screen active by tamping on blank area of screen (10+ minute). Eventually the I relise I've got better things to do and the screen times out. When I unlock the device I get the above 80072ee7 error again.
I've followed various advice on support sites including http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/how-to/wp8/basics/solutions-to-update-issues as follows:
- Checked date and time
- Disconected wifi, restarted phone and reconnected wifi
- Tried a different wifi network
- Disconnected Wifi and attempted network data connection update
- Cleared space on phone (currently 12.8Gb free)
- Ensured suffecient charge on device including 100% and plugged into mains
All result in the above error message.
Any help appreciated.
Iain

Quick note to say I got the phone updated by using the Nokia Software Recovery Tool mentioned in this post: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Software-Updates/How-to-Update-to-8-1/m-p/2957689/highlight/true#M15...
It would be useful to know if there are any repercussions to forcing an update through like that?
The phone now happily checks for updates btw

Lumia 925 apps not updated Error:80060010

My wife's Lumia 925 does not update apps. In the store tile it shows number of pending apps, but when opening the store, I only can see adds of various apps. Sometimes get Error code 80060010. What's wrong?
I do not have similar problems with my own 1020.

Good day. Visit this link: I cannot download or update apps from Store and see if the workarounds will do the trick. The link may be intended for the US, but the content is applicable wherever your location is. Keep us posted. ;-)

Unable to update error tied to Unable to purchase error?

I have tried changing the DNS servers to both Google (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) and openDns (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220) and have had no luck updating to 5.1. I have tried multiple Wi-Fi connections. I haven't tried updating through itunes becase I havent had a chance to plus I just moved and don't have internet hooked up at my new house yet. I really don't want to have to wipe my iphone 4 just to download 5.1. I am wondering if this "unable to check for update error is tied in any way to the "Unable to purchase _______ and ___ other apps at this time error." I am interesed to know if anybody who is having trouble updating to 5.1 also gets the unable to purchase ___ error.

I have this problem too, I keep getting pop ups saying that my iPad 2 is unable to purchase certain things I haven't even purchased!
Plus I have been trying to download the 5.1 update since it was released last Wednesday with no luck, I keep getting the same unable to check for updates error message...
It's frustrating seeing as both my iPads and iPhone 4s and apple TV can't be updated... I don't want to have to alter any dns settings. Why should I have too!!!
Anyway how would changing the dns settings help an apple TV ?
It's about time apple let us know what's wrong!

Lumia 900 - unable to update

Am unable to update my nokia lumia 900. Zune says ur software version is upto date. current phone version 7.10 (8779).
updates available almost all of regions

Where the **bleep** is the Windows Phone 7.8 update? Why is it not available for my mom's cell phone?
I have been a loyola Nokia customer for years and years...I even had the NGage.
I'm about to give up on this piece of **bleep** company. Why is this update not available? And why does it seem like no one from Nokia is listening?
I'm done with Nokia. Moving on to Samsung Galaxy S4...better luck next time Finland. Eat me.

Unable to update, error -1001

hey all...
just got my macbook couple days ago. I wanted to update the software so i clicked on the update and the computer showed all the programs wanted to update. i clicked ok and everything was working fine. then i decided to cancel the update.
and since then, until this moment i've been unable to use the update anymore. everytime it start searching i get a message saying problem with my connection. i tried restarting dozens of times. i downloaded the 10.4.7 updtate from the site... still the update thingy wont work. it keeps asking me to diagnose my connection. and when i check it, it says my connection is fine and nothing wrong with it!
so whats wron?
and isn't there anyway we can contact apple other than phone?

This from...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
"Software Update quits unexpectedly with Mac OS X 10.4
It's possible that Software Update could unexpectedly quit when installing software in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger (via a network connection other than your built-in Ethernet port such as AirPort), but there's a quick and easy fix. Just make a change in Network preferences:
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
Click Network to display its preference pane.
From the Show pop-up menu, choose Network Port Configurations.
Select the Built-in Ethernet checkbox to enable the port.
Click Apply Now.
That's it. Software Update should now work just fine. If you wish, you can go back to Network preferences and disable the built-in Ethernet port again. You don't have to use Ethernet to download updates."

Lumia 610 - unable to update

Hi my phone is Nokia lumia 610.it can't connect to the Zune.i restart my phone and I restarts my pc but it did not work plz help me.

Thanks for posting, dragonbollz. Were you able to connect your Lumia 610 to the Zune software before? You can try the troubleshooting steps provided on this link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile/support/faq/?action=singleTopic&topic=FA137680.
BTW, make sure to disable your PC's firewall and antivirus programs, and sign in as an administrator.

I continue to receive "Firefox unable to update error". Have tried all remedies suggested.

I have tried all suggestions listed on your support site to correct this issue. Even after receiving the "something is causing Firefox not to be updated" message, I check the current version of Firefox and it says it is up-to-date. I have also uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it with the same results. Please help. Thanks.

Make sure that your firewall isn't blocking the updater process.
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Nano SIM adaptor got stuck inside my Lumia 1020

I forced to remove the nano SIM adaptor and after I tried a regular micro SIM and my Lumia 1020 gave me an error message saying SIM was not detected. I read many horrors stories like mine :-( I'm wondering if that happened to someone here on the forum and my question is: how much it costed to fix it and how long did it take? Thanks

Hi arturmeireles
I had similar problems. I bought a Lumia 1520 to try out the size of the screen and overall size of the beast. Must say that I love it although it is a little too big for my liking (a 5.5" would be just right). Anyway as we know the 1020 hosts a MicroSIM card and a 1520 uses a NanoSIM.
In Australia it is illegal to hold two SIMs for the same number so I purchased a $15 SIM adapter pack so I can use the NanoSIM on my 1020. BIG MISTAKE.
To make sure I wouldn't loose my adapter I placed it into the 1020. Wheh it came time for me to swap phones I had a little trouble getting the SIM tray out. I made sure the NanoSIM was installed correctly to the adapter and inserted it into my 1020. I got the Error, SIM is not loaded or not being detected. I tried to take out the SIMtray but it was stuck solid. I tried several suggestions from different forums, but no good. I even damaged the poly cover for the SIMtray.
The next day I sent my 1020 to the repair centre. Today I heard back saying the tray and the damage to the SIM slot is beyond repair and recommended not worth fixing as it was going to cost nearly $600 to repair. My new 1520 was only $530.
I highly recommend NOT using a NanoSIM and MicroSIM adapter for the Lumia 1020. There are a number of forums that have addressed this very issue. Some people have had some success in removing the SIM but most others haven't. Looks like I'll be waiting for the successor of the 1020 (better have a NanoSIM as standard).
If there are any Nokia/Microsoft Technicians that can recommend a safe way of using a NanoSIM in the 1020 I'd love to hear about it and then I'll consider buying another. Until then I hope this prevents others from getting caught.
May I recommend that all new Lumia's stick with one size SIM - if it is Nano so be it, or Micro fine. Or if the 1020 is intended on being a phone to stay in the market for a longer time please update the SIM housing so that these SIMs do not get stuck or replace the MicroSIM tray to be a native NanoSIM housing.
Cheers

Protective Cover-Lumia 1020

I got the awesome piece named Lumia 1020 running on WP8. Its been some time now. Apart from much hyped Camera Technology, which Nokia really stood upto the expectations, what I feel great about this device the apps from WP8. But my thirst for more apps and updating my device with WP8.1, is yet to be quenched. I hope WP8.1 will be available for Lumia 1020 as an update.
Now, coming to protecting my device, presently Iam using a non-branded plastic Cover with room for gaint camera. I think these covers cause some damage and not good enough to protect deivce.
I searched for accessories, Nokia site, which could best fit for my device.
I am looking up, mainly, for branded cover to protect from scratches. If it renders extra bit well and good.
My question is will you recommend me to go for CC-3600, the wireless charging cover?
If so, do I need to buy wireless charging plate, separately, to use of CC-3600 for charging as well?
Will it do any harm, if I carry my device with CC-3600 cover on through out the day after I charge it up with usual charger(that comes with piece)?
If no, is there any alternative, branded ones? Please let me know.
With regards,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi no such thing as Windows Phone 8.1, only Update 3 and Lumia Black which is coming early 2014.
Nokia haven't announced any hard case accessories for the Lumia 1020, only the wireless charging covers CC-3066 (not CC-3600) and the camera grip PD-95G.
The CC-3066 enables wireless charging for the Lumia 1020, so you don't need to buy anything separate, except a wireless charger that supports the Qi charger (DT-900, DT-901, DT-910, DT-601, DC-50 etc).
And no, you won't do it any harm. i hardly ever carry my 1020 by itself, i always have some kind of leather case or the CC-3066 on it.

Lumia 1020; app update error 80073cf6 after cyan ...

I updated my Lumia 1020 to the Nokia Cyan firmware today. Most of the app updates went fine but now some updates from the store are stuck with the error code 80073cf6.
I tried restarting the phone but that does not help. Any ideas?

The "error code 80073cf6" in Windows 8 on PC's suggest trouble in the store cache on the device, and there are procedures to reset and clear this on a PC - but this is only possible on Windows Phone by performing a factory reset.
I hesitate to advice a factory reset of the phone since it is a lot of work, and may not solve the problem! Also, since this is trouble between the Store and the phone, it may be solved in an update of the phone or the store later.
I would sit tight for a while (days or weeks ...) unless the apps are important here and now, and keep an eye on new updates to the phone, and retry the download once in a while, but it's your decision whether to try a factory reset.
Microsoft have information of devices failing to download apps from the store, and if your specific trouble affect enough people, changes are likely to be made (days or weeks ...)

Lumia 1020 SIM card error after WP8.1 update

I updated my wife's Lumia 1020 to WP8.1. Ever since there has been random SIM card errors. The phone just drops the network while it's idle (not during the phone calls) and gives an error message "SIM card error".
Anybody who has experienced the similar thing after installing WP8.1 update???
If there's someone from Nokia/Microsoft support team reading this: what should be done in order to get rid of this aforementioned thing?

Nope, it's not a hardware issue.
The cause, yes. However, that firmware update might have – a guess – broken the hardware forever. Again, it could just be coincidence. I am not able to rule that out from the distance. You have two options: Wait for a firmware patch (which might do a lot of magic and repairs hardware) – or go for Nokia Care Centre.
Sensonic wrote:
Taking the phone to the Nokia Care Center and replacing the mother (main) board is not (IMO) a reasonable cure for this problem.
The first step of bug fixing, is getting aware of the bug. Nokia Support Discussions are designed in such a crazy way, that this step might not have taken by this thread. I am just an end-user like you, but there are very different statements whether this board is monitored by internal support.
By the way, the next step is to reproduce this bug – for this, Nokia requires a faulty unit, normally. Therefore, I recommend to go for the Nokia Care Centre option – because waiting – until your warranty might be gone – might not be a good alternative.
Or stated differently: Sit and wait might end in catastrophe in this case.

To double-check, we have Nokia Care Centre.

Symptoms which sound similar, yes. Same Cause? I do not know.

Error: 1013231 Unable to update database while in readonly mode for backup , how can i solve this problem ,plz can any one help on this
Thanks

Has somebody set the database ready for archiving, maybe some maxl has been run and the db has not been returned from read only mode.
Try running the following Maxl (change app.db to match your app/db)
alter database app.db end archive;
Cheers
