N97 rom boot lock?

Hi,
for reasons unclear to me, my N97 froze up yesterday.
i can switch the phone on, and feel (by the short vibration) it goes on, but nothing happens, the screen stays black.
when connecting it to my computer with OVI on it, it disvocers new hardware, which states the following 2 devices:
nokia USB flashing Parent
nokia USB flashing Generic.
windows keeps making the connect/disconnect sound it makes when plugin / unplugging a USB device.
it seems it is stuck in an upgrade mode (althoug i was not upgrading or anything when this happened)
i already tried a hard reset, but this does not seem to fix anything, although, since the screen does not do anything, it might not even be performing the hard reset all together.
suggestions are highly appreciated.

Though you have already performed Hard Reset.. just try removing the battery for a couple of minutes.. insert and see..

Trying to instal windows again (new hard drive) via bootcamp on my oldish Macbook;
on rebooting to install windows I get a dos screen with the message:

Select CD rom Boot Type:_
and keyboard doesn't work!
Tried an external keyboard and nothing
Any ideas?

To get the disk out restart while holding down the mouse button. To get back to OS X restart while holding the option key and when the boot screen appears select the volume with OS X.

VXIPC-871B CD-ROM boot

I have got a VXIPC-871B that is running 2000 or Millenium OS. The only existing account is an administrator account that nobody can recall the password to.
I cannot boot to the embedded CD-ROM drive using the NI embedded controller installation CD. And I realized that our only rescue diskette does not include a CD-ROM DOS driver. I have had a look around the C: drive after booting to the A: drive and I cannot locate anything that might help me with a CD-ROM boot into the VXI controller.
Is there something installed with the ME OS version that will allow me an Embedded CD-ROM DOS boot? Maybe then I can run the installation CD or a Rescue CD-ROM.
Any useful information would be handy,
Mike B.

Hi Mike,
There's nothing that I'm aware of that allows an Embedded CD-ROM DOS boot from Millenium, but perhaps Microsoft might have some information on that.

Select CD-ROM Boot Type Error installing Windows 7 in Boot Camp walkthrough

Much thanks to John Anderson at AndersonHatch.com for his excellent
walkthrough for installing Windows 7 x64 in Boot Camp.
Since his post there has been an update to ImgBurn which adds a few
screens and dialogues whose proper navigation may not be obvious. He
also left out a few choices that SHOULD be obvious but you know how
THAT goes.
Here then, cribbing liberally (plagiarizing, actually) from John's
walkthrough, but including some "for idiots" footnotes (which are
more for my own benefit than yours), is the most current (as of March,
2010) walkthrough, which presumes you have a DVD of Win7 (if you
downloaded an iso file from somewhere I'm sure the instructions are
similar but I'm not exactly sure how. Perhaps someone can add a
comment with this variation?)
ON A WINDOWS MACHINE:
1: Download and install ImgBurn.exe from the cloud.
2: Insert your Windows 7 Install DVD, preferably into your
---DVD-ROM drive but if possible into an orifice of whomever is
---responsible for ordinary shmoes like you and me having to spend an
---entire day Googling this problem and then following a simple
---27-step procedure to do the most basic thing you can do on a computer
---which is to install an OS. This is before we can even use the computer
---to do anything useful which at this point is a dubious prospect. But I
---digress...
3: Extract your boot image as follows:
---a. Using ImgBurn, go to "Build" mode. All fields should be blank at
-----this point.
---b. Select the "Advanced" tab.
---c. Select the "Bootable Disc" tab
---d. In the dropdown under "Extract boot Image" select your DVD drive
-----and then click on the the little disk icon to the right of the
-----dropdown. A "Save As" window opens. Choose a location on your hard
-----drive to save to and keep the filename "BootImage" and click "Save."
-----This operation only takes a few seconds. ImgBurn presents a dialogue
-----box upon success.
---e. When it asks if you would you like to use the boot image file in
-----your current project say "Yes."
4: Add your disk to your new disc image
---a. On the left side of the ImgBurn window in the "Source" panel
-----click the little folder icon (second down from the plus sign)
-----and browse to select your Windows 7 Install DVD (Just select
-----the entire drive, no files or folders inside it). Hit OK.
---b. Select the "Options" tab on the right. Data Type: MODE1/2048.
-----File System: ISO9660. UDF Revision 1.02.
---c. Only the "Recursive Subdirectories" checkbox should be checked.
---d. Select the "Advanced" tab again.
---e. Select the "Restrictions" tab
---f. Select “Level X – 219 Characters”
---g. Select "Standard" character set.
---h. Select only the following checkboxes:
-----Allow More Than 8 Directory Levels
-----Allow More Than 255 Characters In Path
-----Allow Files Without Extensions
-----Don't Add ';1: Version Number To Tiles
---i. Select the “Bootable Disc” tab again. Make sure “Make image
-----bootable” is checked.
---j. Select "Emulation Type: None (Custom)" in dropdown.
---k. The "Boot Image" (which should already be filled in if you said
-----"Yes" in 3e) should be a path to the file "BootImage.ima." If not,
-----select the BootImage.ima file you created in Step 3.
---l. Load Segment: 07C0
---m. Sectors to Load: 8
5: Build your new iso.
---a. Under "Extract Boot Image" select your DVD-ROM drive again.
---b. Enter a name for your new iso on the left under "Destination."
-----Use the folder icon to the right of the dropdown, or enter a
-----filename manually. You can call it anything. I called mine "New7."
-----Make sure you are saving it to your hard drive, not back to the
-----DVD-ROM drive.
---c. The "Source" field in the upper left should be blank but the
-----directory is "D/:' I know this is confusing but trust me.
---d. Click the big folder pointing at a disc document icon at the
-----bottom left to create your new image! This operation may take
-----a few more minutes of your precious life. Oh well, there's plenty
-----where those came from...
---e. Here is where ImgBurn gets way too helpful. Decline its offer to
-----change the setting from "UDF" to ISO9660 + UDF." Just say "No."
---f. Laugh at the politically correct dialogue for "Confirm Volume
-----Label" and click "Yes" or just wait 30 seconds for the
-----programming gremlin to do it for you.
---g. Click "OK" for the useless (to non-propellerheads) "File,
-----Content, and Data" info dialogue box (but thank you ImgBurn!)
6: Burn your new iso.
---a. Go to burn mode, baby.
---b. Select the iso file you created in 5b.
---c. Remove your Windows 7 Install DVD and insert a blank DVD,
-----preferably into your DVD-ROM drive but...
---d. Select your destination blank DVD and click the "Burn" button.
If you have ADHD like me you can skip the "Verify" cycle (the disk is
probably fine) and use it to install Windows 7 x64 on your Mac and
return to your regularly scheduled life.
Enjoy!

You cannot stuff a UEFI into an EFI32 ROM, there isn't room; EFI32 is 2005-2008; UEFI 2.x was the first to support 64-bit.
Apple does have an article on which Macs DON'T support 64-bit Windows (I think it actually just says my Mac Pro 2006 doesn't support Windows 7, which of course I am running! But had extra hoops.
It is possible to install Windows 7 32-bit on one drive, then boot into that, and install Windows 7 64-bit ON A SEPARATE drive or partition (my mac has 4 internal drives). Else, you get into 'triple boot' and the pitfalls and problems.
Technology changes and you can't always go back. Even having a 64-bit processor is only part of the equation.

Cd rom boot problems with MEGA 180

I recently recieved my MEGA 180 and have been unable to successfully install an OS because when I boot from CD, the computer freezes at various stages of installation. The point at which it freezes varies between the point at which the CD is initialized to anywhere in the windows xp setup process up untill the drive format. Occassionally the lockup coincides with an error copying a file, but this is not consistent. I have tried two different cd-rom drives as well as three different xp installation cds. Further I have run with 5 different sticks of ram (kingston and corsair). None of these changes have had any obvious effect.
Having read the warning labes regarding non MSI optical devices, I am tempted to think that may be the problem as I am not running on an MSI drive. However, the warning souned like it was about mechanical parts and thus I assume the ability of a drive to fit in the MEGA 180 case while opening and closing correctly.
I would appreciate any input you might have on this matter as I am finding this experience rather frustrating.

I had the exact same problem when upgrading from a 2100+ Palamino processor to a 2800+ Thoroghbred one. The screen had already dissappeared due to powering up with no monitor plugged in, so I tried a reinstall of Windows XP. It kept falling over randomly during the install process. I then swapper the CPU back and had no problems at all. I have since lapped the heatsink and reduced the FSB to 157MHz in the BIOS, and have not had a problem with the 2800+ CPU. I have not tried installing windows again, but feel this will be OK too.
My test is to run FujiFilm Snapshot Slideshow, which sends the CPU temp rocketting. I have found that when it goes above 70 C it starts getting unstable. I throttled the FSB back to 157MHz and it does not get to 70 C any more. In normal operation it never gets above 60 C, so I don't know why the slideshow takes so much CPU power

Hard reset Nokia N97 without knowing lock password

I received this phone from our inventory at work. I am not sure who used it before me. But, I do not know the lock pass code. How can I hard reset it without knowing the lock password. Everything I try, I am prompted for the lock password except one attempt. I held in the up arrow, shift key and back arrow while powering on. This did some type of reset. But, the lock password still is not 12345.
So, either the lock password for Nokia N97 is not 12345 by default, or this is not a true hard reset?
Any ideas?

You could try changing the sim, it may be a sim lock code and not a phone lock code, I have my sim locked but if I change for spare sim the phone doesn't require a code it just starts ! Worth a try ?

N97 mini key lock problem

Hi there NSeries experts!
I couldn´t find a topic related to my question,
so here´s my post:
I´ve got a little problem with my N97 mini
(type "RM-555" software-version: "11.0.102"):
The key lock button at the side of the phone
does not work properly in my eyes.
Sometimes - yes, it does not show up every
time you use it, only in about 50 % of usage -
when you use the button it works "back and
forth". That means, if you wanna lock the phone
it gets locked and then directly unlocked again,
although the button has only been used once.
Same thing sometimes the other way round:
The phone is locked, the button is used, the
phone unlocks and directely locks itself again.
It is not the worst bug I can imagine but after
a while it is quite annoying.
Does anyone have an idea what this is all
about? Do you think it is more likely some
hardware defect or rather more a software
bug?
Thanks for any help!
If you need further Info about the phone,
software etc. just tell me...
Tom.

Then if you want to try everthing before going to nokia, first try reset *#7370# , backup your data first. Still no success? Reflash with same firmware version via NSU. (back up your data in both cases)
Previous Phones: 6600, 7610, 6230, 6230i, 1100, 1112, N70, N73, N95, N95 8GB, 5800XM, 5230, C5, iPhone 3GS, SE Xperia X10, N900, N8, SE Xperia Arc

Nokia N97 Not booting Up...

So I was having issues with getting my usb cable to charge with my phone, and also my phone kept turning on and off, but then netquin antivirus says it has detected multiple startups and has disabled all startup programs, and now my phone will not boot and I cant even recover the data using USB cable. I am unable to do a hard reset because I have alot of important contacts and photos on there...

@Dean235
Unfortunately you are probably stuck now as Care Point would have disclaimer about preservation of any data; don't really know why installing application such as Netquin Antivirus upon N97 which is short enough on phone memory as it is.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

New Build cd-rom boot fail on P55-GD80

After about three weeks of puttering with building my i7 p55-GD80 system I am at a loss about how to get WinXP to install.
Simply put I can not get the system to boot off of an IDE CD-Rom or DVD-Rom, or IDE drive formatted and imaged with the install disk. I am beginning to think that I will have to get a SATA DVD drive to get it to boot.
IDE drives used: DVD by LG , DVD by Lite-On (was working in Compaq previously), & finally a HP drive I had just booted from in my old system.
I was able to get a Hiran's to run using a GRUB boot setup on a thumb drive and from this I am sure the issue is not with the IDE subsystem. Hard disk diagnostics all worked out. However, in moving files over to try to get the HD to boot enough to run the install the new system has flagged the thumb drive as having a virus and refuses to run from it even after reformatting.
Any further thoughts are welcome since I have never seen a drive fail to boot even though it worked in another computer moments before.
Does MSI have an issue with booting from IDE?

OK, Now I have to admit I have gotten rusty.
It turns out the XP-Pro install disk had the auto-run file and not the boot set I was convinced was there.
I haven't done a major system build since my Athlon Tunderbird. (7 or 8 years ago)
Thanks for the thoughts.

N97 phone insta locking up -- need help please

after weeks of problem free, my phone has decieded to lock up instantly on turning on.
I can not turn it off via any normal method, and must remove battrey. Pluggin in the power charger / usb cable does not light the charge light up, but turns it on
The power button does the same (when off after removing battrey)
upon turning on, the screen goes white and the nokia writing comes up
in the past, this screen would be following up with the nokia animation of touching hands around 10 seconds later
its been sat here 10 minutes now incase I missed something, with no luck.
it is totally unresponsive, no audio or tacticle feedback, and the only way to stop it is take out battrey.
any advice please
Do u believe in love @ first sight, or should I post again?

Hi, only two solutions I can suggest, though they may not be possible, is first try connectiong to computer with ovi suit, and try re-install firmware. Or try hard reset with key combo

Hope this helps, otherwise return phone to supplier.
Good Luck

Boot locked

hello all
Yesterday, i was trying to install a system on an externel disc from my laptop but during the reboot, the system on the CD/DVD froze.
Since then, my powerbook starts up with a grey screen, goes black and shows a grey screen with a folder in the middle with a question mark, then a folder with the finder logo but doesn't boot at all and shuts down after a few mns.
i've tried to boot with option pressed but it displays a windom with padlock, a blank rectangle for password and an arrow.(my admin password is refused).
I tried to boot in open firmware but it asks for a password (my admin password is refused) after the "mac-boot" command.
Also did the usuals (pram reset,etc...) but nothing works so far.
Any help would be much appreciated......

All ColdFusion code and process will run with full admin
rights and
privileges, passing this on to the users of these CF
applications.
It is a better practice to create a CF user with just the
rights it
needs to run the applications being built on that server.
That is what
we do here.
