My 9850 stuck at same percentage during Software Update for 6hrs!
I had notice that it was time for my Torch 9850 to update its software, so I clicked Software Update and began. Last time, my phone went blank and multiple issues occurred. But, it started backing up data around 7 am. But, since then the percentage has stayed at 8% ! That was over 6 hrs ago! And its not like its frozen cause if I put the charger in the battery amount and the little lightning bolt comes up as usual. Is the backing up suppose to take this long or is there something really wrong with my phone? Can someone please HELP ME!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!

There are two methods of recovery for you to try:
One:
Open Blackberry Desktop Software & Connect your device with PC using USB cable, without inserting battery.
You will get three option Retry, Update Or Cancel, then click on update.
Once it is to the stage of the update "initializing handheld", then insert battery.
If this does not work, and you remain stuck on the backing up the Social Feeds database, go to the second method below.
Secondly:
Start your BlackBerry in Safe mode. Article ID: KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Modehttp://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17877
Connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software and allow your handheld to connect. If you are prompted to upgrade, cancel the upgrade for later.
IF you cannot connect or your Desktop Software does not recognize your device while in Safe Mode, please follow the directions here to force the detect: Article ID: KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
Go to Device > delete > SELECT DATA > select to delete both the Social Feeds and Smart Card databases, and follow the remaining prompts to complete it.
Now, you can return and click to upgrade the device through the Desktop Manager, or reboot the BlackBerry in normal mode and continue the over the air upgrade.
And, for the record, I agree completely that OTA updates should be avoided at all costs.
Good luck!

Macbook stuck on grey screen during software update reboot
After I run my software updates, it tells me that I need to reboot to install them. However, it gets stuck on a grey "Software Update" screen. It will not allow me to force quit. I've even left the computer on overnight, still there. I have to do a hard shut down. Also, when I do boot it up and continue normal activity and attempt to do a normal shut down it takes me back to that grey Software Update screen. Even if I didn't try and run it for the day. Each time, hard shut down.
I took it to Geek Squad 2 weeks ago for this issue and a kernel error. They shipped it to Apple repair. They fixed the kernel error, but I cannot get this to update or remove the grey screen. I dread having to take it back in...but my warranty will expire next month. Any ideas? I am not getting the continuos spinning circle at that page or the Apple logo that I've read about.
Thanks!Check out KB Article: Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

HT202157 My Apple TV blocked during software update. What should I do?
My Apple TV blocked during software update. What should I do?
You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above. -
Error message during software updates
I am constantly receiveing the following error message during software updates. This time it happened with an HP printer update, but it has happened with iTunes and Safari as well. Does anyone know what I need to do?
The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/GeneIOUSBCFSubclass.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update
Thanks!Try using Help > Updates from one of your CS6 applications.
When you return home, you might try uninstalling CS6 and reinstalling it again. It sounds like some stuff may have become corrupted. -
I just tried to install the latest software update for an iPhone 5, and now the phone is stuck in recovery mode. Are there any options available to avoid going through with the recovery. This seems really lame.
No.
You must restore. -

My MacBook Pro X.6.8 NO DISPLAY after restarted during software update.
My MacBook Pro X.6.8 after I did software update for 2 files, then restart/rebooted and when it resume back NO DISPLAY, totally black screen. I believed It's working in the background coz when I pressed buttons it makes sounds, so that's good but how can I see and bring back the display? I didnt so anything special. Prior to software update I did update my Adobe Flash for the latest version..
Please help anyone, I need my MacBook Pro to resume back to normal, I have many pending job to finish.. I hope the problem is only the display screen and not worst, coz I can't see and verify.
Thanks.Oh No, still the same.. I follow exactly what you said, still no display.
I hear rebooting sound, like its normal, just missing my screen.
How come this happen, it works perfectly fine, I just want to update coz I had a message prior, so I did, but I just check first what are those needed to update. I saw Itunes v.11 and security patch update, something like that..
Then when it rebooted no more display. -
LOST MY CONTACT DURING SOFTWARE UPDATE
I LOST MY CONTACTS DURING SOFTWARE UPDATE A WEEK AGO , TRIED TO RESTORE FROM MY LAST BACK UP HELD ON MAY 16, BUT FAILED , AM EVEN SURE I'V SELECTED ALL DATA BACKUP FOR ANY OF MY PREVIOUS BACKUP , TRIED TO RESTORE FROM ANY BUT FAILED , TRIED THE GMAIL CONTACTS ALSO FAILED , WONDERING WHERE MY CONTACTS I'VE SAVED FOR MORE THEN 10 YEARS ARE GONE ....AM TOTTALY DISSAPOINTED SINCE AM A BLACKBERRY USER SINCE 5 YEARS , ALWAYS SUPPORTED BLACKBERRY AGAINST IPHONE USERS , ALL MY FREINDS ARE NO MORE USING BLACKBERRY AND SWITCHED TO IPHONE OR SAMSUNG , AM HAVING AN EMPTY BBM LIST NOW , BUT STILL SUPPORTING AND EVEN BOUGHT THE Z10 FIRST WEEK OF RELEASE , I WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT A TECHNICAL PROBLEM HAPPENED DURING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE , BUT CANT UNDERSTAND THE USELESS BACK UP I'VE ALWAYS DOING ! AND THE WORSE IS THAT LAST SOFTWARE UPDATE TURNED THE Z10 TO A WORSE MOBILE.
Hum, it is worrying...
So... your contacts seem to be on:
Gmail,
your previous backups.
-Solutions:
if all your contacts are on Gmail: copy them manually on your device,
they are a priori all in your backups: wait that Link won't be in Beta anymore, and then restore.
P.S.:
You make backups and don't register your contacts on SIM, is it possible ? Personally, I rarely register contacts on SIM. If there is a malware, it can be charged from the SIM to the Phone, this is why. -
Freezing up during software update
I just installed loin on one of my hard drives on my early 2008 Mac Pro. During software update the OS either crashes or freezes up.
I was eventually able to correct the problem. It first started because the phone's battery got completely discharged - thought the USB cable would keep it powered but that wasn't the case.
Anyway, tried to reboot the phone by removing and reinstalling the battery and the phone would not turn on, so this is how I understood what happened. Disconnected it from the USB cable and got the following message:
Your BlackBerry® Device Software is updated and you can safely disconnect your device.
Warnings were encountered during the loading process:
Application data could not be restored to the device. The backup data file has been saved to "file name". You can use the Desktop Software Backup/Restore tool to restore this information.
Recharged the phone, did the restore and the phone is back to life !
Cheers,
Giorgio
