My N73 is dead after a firmware update!

Hey i just wasted my N73, I was traying to update the firmware, I did not make a back up of the cellphone, everything was ok until NSU gave me a message (sorry for my english).. something like:
1. Extract the battery
2. Insert the battery and connect the charger
3. Turn it on
And I just tought... what the hell!. I followed that steps but it didn't work. I think its my fault, beacuse I didn't restarted my pc after I installed NSU and i didn't put the cellphone in "general" mode (or something like that).
So what can I do? the cellphone is DEAD.

Yes you should have rebooted your computer as advised by the program. Also even if the procedure had been successful you would still have lost all of your data from the phones memory, that is why it tells you to back up.
First remove the battery for 5 minutes, reconnect the battery, connect it to your pc and run the updater again. Leave it for a few minutes and it should go into recovery mode (try this several times).
If not disconnect it and try a hard reset.
Hard reset:
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
If that fails to fix it try the advice offered in this post by drummer27:
/discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&messa​ge.id=14152#M14152
If that still fails then the last option is to take the phone to a nokia care point.

  • After a firmware update to airport express should I unplug the unit then plug it back in? (bascially reboot it)

    After a firmware update to airport express should I unplug the unit wait a bit and plug it back in?  (basically a reboot)

    I updated the firmware on the 2nd of this month.  Everything was fine.  About a week later internet speed began to be slow.  I rebooted the modem and the speed was okay for awhile, then slow again. I'm wondering if it's the airport express.  It didn't tell me to reboot at the end of the installation.

  • Wlan error after a firmware update

    Ok there seem to be many posts about this issue but i cannot find anything that seems to work for me.
    I not to recently updated my N95 8Gb firmware to 20.0.16 and found that I was having errors with WPA on WLan, previously I had no such problem and the issue only occured after the firmware update.
    to add some more info I am on a network with a linksys wrt300n
    I have tried wep it works but dont want to compromise security.
    All computers on the network are using wireless g and the key is definitely correct when entered
    any help would be most appreciated

    I don't have N95, but if the firmware is updated to latest version the wpa most likely wpa2. Having wpa in place of wep gives only very little added security for a determined hacker! It will only takes 30min to an hour to crack that. Security like that deter only the free net riders. Try if there is upgrade for your modem/router, its usualy the case. For home network wep or wpa sufficed.
    Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
    If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

  • Incompatible after the firmware update

    I had missing the dictionary (including the icon on the screen) and chinese language currently stored in my nokia 6680 after the firmware update. what is the problems?

    Yes I m using one of the default themes.
    I have even done the re-installation of the same firmware version again, it did not work.
    Each time I flash the firmware, installed applications become unworkable although the icons still remained in the menu. IT is always a great hassle to have to re-install all applications over again.
    tsk.

  • Bluetooth doesn't work after E90 firmware update!

    Nokia staff - help needed!
    Bluetooth has stopped working after E90 firmware update.
    The following on-screen message is shown: "Unable to perform Bluetooth operation!"
    P.S. Reinstalling firmware via Nokia software update doesn't help at all. If connectivity problem still can be solved with USB cable, the worst tning is that I can't use my phone's BT handsfree when driving.

    Hi hanzzi
    No information as to what device you are using, but try deleting E:\CITIES + .qf file from memory card then restart OVI Maps application to re-define folder structure required to download regional mapping using OVI Suite.

  • MY NOKIA N73 NOW DEAD AFTER UPDATING TO FIRMWARE 3...

    Hi ladies and gents
    looks like other folks have had thier lovely new shiny n73's turned into paperwieghts.
    followed the instructions to the letter, everything looked like it was working, the updater asked me to remove the battery and the charger for a few secs then press/hold the on button for a few secs...................then the updating process continues but then i get a message saying the update process failed and to try again which i did, only for the same thing to happen two more times!!!!??????
    just wondering what other ownwers experiences have been like perforrming the above firmware update. any advice would be appriciated.

    When the Software updater prompts you to do that, DO NOT unplug the phone or remove the battery at any stage. Simply check that the phone has no active connections running in the back round and click try again. The same thing happened with my N70-1 as I was using the phone as a modem at the same time that I was updating the software. I ;et the file download then when it prompted me to remove the battery I simply disconnected the modem and clicked try again and it updated with no issues at all.

  • Internet stopped working on MBA after latest firmware update. Help please!!!

    Internet stopped working after installing the latest firmware update. WiFi still connects to router, our other mac desktop still connects to internet as usual (same network). I can't even re-install the MBA OS since it needs an internet connection!!!
    Any ideas?

    FIXED.
    I swapped our wireless router for a newer one, internet seems to work fine again (we were sent a new one by our internet provider which we never set up until now).

  • TC issues after latest firmware update

    Here is the skinny, my TC went through the normal firmware update a bit ago. Wednesday my Internet stopped working, when I use the Airport Utility app it showed the TC online, at first, then it gave me the error that the TC did not have a valid IP. Thought might have been a problem on my ISP's end so I grabbed another router and set it up Internet no problem. Has to be the new firmware right so I pushed the firmware back 3 versions, and still the same thing no valid IP but connected to the Internet but no HDD (Yes it said not a valid IP but connected to the Internet on one wireless PC). Everything else in the house would not connect to the TC they could see it but when you went to connect never asked for a password and I got the spindle of death type deal. I saved my settings and did a hard reset with the button on the back of the TC, started over and rebuilt the connection, same thing happened not a valid IP. I have read that Apple released 3 different firmware updates supposedly the last one works, it doesn't when I load the firmware I get the same error TC does not have a valid IP. I need some help, I have cycled through power down and power up situations over and over. Anyone have any other suggestions?

    Need some more info.
    What is the modem.. make and model?
    Is it both modem and router or just a modem?
    What is the actual model of the TC.. the number from the base.. A1xxx where the x are numbers.
    The latest firmware is an issue.. that is 7.6.4 and you should go back to 7.6.1
    But it does seem hard to get rid of properly.
    I want you to do a factory reset not just a hard reset.
    Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
    Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
    Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Note..
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Please redo the setup using all SMB names.. that is short, no spaces and purely alphanumeric characters.
    eg TCgenx (use actual gen if you want) for base station name.
    TCwifi for wireless name. (or TC24ghz and TC5ghz which is well worth naming both bands so you can test more carefully).
    Please download and install a v5 utility on a computer if any of them use up to Mountain Lion.
    Tell us what OS the computers are running and I can tell you how to install the old airport utility.
    Test the TC in bridge to your other router is also a good alternative.

  • After EFI Firmware update 2.3, MBP Early 2011 will not boot. During restart it all went wrong please help!

    Hello,
    I've done an ample amount of Internet research to find an answer to this problem however nothing yet found is quite like this. I will start from the beginning.
    I am traveling through Europe, and I normally live in California. When I arrived in Ireland my MBP early 2011 15 inch, began crashing constantly when I had several tabs open on Chrome and maybe one or two low CPU/Memory using applications, nothing the 8gb RAM &750gb hard drive can't normally handle. Thus I began trouble shooting.  I ran disk utility once started up and repaired both disk and permissions. Still crashing. It didn't seem like it had anything to do with a kernel panic shut down, I never would receive the usual message indicating so. After that I did an SMC reset. It was still crashing. I then upgraded the OSX from 10.8 to 10.8.4 believing it could help. It did momentarily, but then crash again. (When it crashes screen goes black suddenly and upon pressing power button does a regular boot on my single partition). I decided attempting to repair using the Internet recovery option but it appeared my MBP had not yet have it installed, so I downloaded from Apple and began installing. Here I made a mistake, I unplugged the power source as it was restarting. When the gray screen and apple appeared, the loading bar shows up as it says it will when installing the update, but when the bar fully loads it crashes every time. I've tried starting in safe mode, which then loads but never goes further (I let it stand for two hours such as that and nothing). Then I decided to allow the MBP to fully charge overnight to give it time and charge. This morning the problem has stayed the same, even with power source plugged in. Please help I need this to work.
    Thank you and please ask any questions!

    Your constant crashing problem is probably some type of hardware fault which no update can fix. Doing the 10.8.4 update and then the firmware update just caused further problems. you need to take thr system to a apple store to be diagnosed and fixed if cost effective.

  • 27 inch thunderbolt display blacks out after Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2

    Bought 2 new 27 inch TB displays for two different machines and after a couple of days the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 appears on my Mac Pro with one of the displays installed. So I install the firmware update.  Now my display blacks out periodically and I keep getting Graphic Display Errors with a request to sent the errors to Apple. Running a 32 GB Mac Pro (late 2013 circular style) I have three monitors connected (two 20 inch cinema displays and the new 27 inch display). This machine is supposed to be able to handle three 4k monitors or 6 standard TB displays.  I've seen the posts about the blacking out with this monitor but I didn't have any problems before the firmware update and now I've got them pretty regularly.  I had the blacking out problem on an earlier monitor and took one of the monitors back and Apple gave me another one and this is the replacement.  Same problem, but this one only started after the update. I'm hoping someone from Apple reads these messages and can let me know what's up.
    BTW, I also have an older 27 inch Apple monitor that ran perfectly on this machine so I'm disappointed that I spent all this money and now get the blacking out issue.
    Mac Pro (Late 2013)
    Processor 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5
    Memory 32 BG
    Graphics AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB

    I have my Thunderbolt display connected to my MacBook Pro and have been experiencing the same issue, getting worse over time.  The folks at my local Apple store did not know what to do about it.  So, I looked around and tried different thing.
    The one thing that seems to be working is to System Preferences > Build-in Display > uncheck “Automatically adjust brightness.”
    I hope this helps.

  • Windows 7 x64, MacBook Pro, frequent CHKDSK after HDD firmware update

    Hello, I have been having filesystem problems on my Windows 7 partition since the HDD related firmware update (the latest Performance update) was released and installed onto this mid 2009 MacBook Pro.
    The HDD is a 500 GB 7200 RPM model, but it never gave me any troubles under OS X before the "fix" and I know other users had intermittent problems with the HDD on their MacBook Pro's related to the HDD making noises and pausing.
    The fix was released, I installed it and I started seeing my first problem in Windows 7 x64 a few days after... I cleanly shut the OS down, but when I booted it back it asked me to perform a coherency check to the Filesystem... I thought that the problem was related to the fact that I was using the RC1 build of Windows 7... although that problem never manifested itself in the weeks before the Performance Update (HDD firmware fix) was installed and Windows 7 x64 RC1 had been on there and used frequently.
    I recently purchased Windows 7 retail a few days ago and after a bit of trouble-free operation I started having problems again... always shutting the PC down carefully and I was asked to run the CHKDSK utility at boot twice already.
    What to do?
    Message was edited by: Panajev

    Hi there,
    I have a different experience. I installed Windows 7 before the "performance update 1.0" came out. I actually experienced the chkdsk launch problem with Windows 7. I had done repartitioning and clean-install several times but cannot solve the problem. So I tried to install XP and Vista on my MBA (Mid 2009 with SSD) and found that these two OS doesn't introduce such problem.
    To be honest, I'm not sure which caused such problem, Windows 7, a bootcamp driver, or EFI. But I'm sure that CHKDSK in Windows 7 has an obvious bug that needs to be patched (memory leak and maybe this problem as well). So now I'm using Windows Vista SP2. And I'm happy with Vista SP2 (seems to become faster and stable now).
    Cheer,

  • MacBook Keys not working even after KeyBoard Firmware update

    My friend's sister bought me a MacBook from the US last October. Fortunately, Apple announced the release of Leopard also on the same month and I got a free upgrade to leopard. I installed leopard about 3 months back. My keyboard was working fine when I had Tiger installed. After I installed Leopard, I remember installing a Keyboard firmware update once through the Software Update.
    About two three weeks back, my MacBook started acting wierd. Some keys were not working (mostly 't', 'q', left shift, left command, zero which is not working even now. I couldn't close the last bracket because the key is not working. I am a php programmer and I can't think of living without the closing bracket and zero keys . But most of the keys works on and off.
    After seeing on several sites that it is a problem with firmware, I once again downloaded the firware update, but couldn't install it since the installation wizard says that my system doesn't need it.
    Can someone plz tell me what to do now? Will reinstalling help?
    Thanks in advance.

    The problem persists everytime I restart my system or wake it up from sleep. But each time different keys have problem. I am now downloading update 10.5.4. Can someone plz help me?

  • IPhone 5 dead after July 2014 update

    MY iPhone 5 is dead after update. Apple has no answers but to sell me a new phone.  Any good advice ?

    After last update battery drained within a few hours, same after recharge.  Apple told me I have a dead battery and would replace same model for $260 (sorry, that is not small change and I live 3 hours from next Apple store).  Therefore had a local cyberstore install a new battery, however it drained just like the original.  Any different advice?  I understand that my options with the Apple store may be over since I let the cyberstore touchy it.
    Yup, since Cyberstore performed unauthorized service on the device, the warranty for your iPhone has been voided, and that even includes the $79 battery replacement option from Apple or the $269 Out of Warranty option from Apple.
    You have a paperweight now.  Sell it for parts to someone that performs unauthorized service, like Cyberstore.  Maybe they'll use it for parts to void another person's iPhone.
    Next time, don't get unauthorized service done on your iPhone.
