Nokia 301 dead after software update

I just updated my Nokia 301 from its software version 2.something to the latest (8.03 I believe). After the update process the phone is dead. It won't start up, nothing.
Is there anything I can do?

Nokia 301 does not support SW updates via Nokia Suite (like all the more recent phones), so that would be the expected result.

Nokia E52 dead after software update using Nokia S...

I bought my Nokia E52 the day before yesterday. It is an early model (arrived at the store i September). But it worked fine, except for the bluetooth connection.
I tried to update the software using Nokia Software Updater via the USB cable. But it lost connection (I didn't touch the cable nor the phone at the time, and the computer was workning fine). After that I tried it again a couple of time, but it lost connection. It seems the USB-micro connecter on the phone is defective.
Finally its seemed to worked, but after a long period of time it lost connection again and this time the phone was dead. The computer couldn't find it when I connected the USB cable and the screen was dead, nothing happend when I push the powerbutton, except it vibrated once as normal after that nothing happend.
The screen was dead, the numberpad was not lighted. I removed the battery and waited a couple of minutes and tried again. Nothing happend. I tried to reset the phone by using buttons '3', '*', 'anwesring-bottun' and powerbutton. Nothing happend.
Obvious the software update were unsuccesful but is my phone beyond repair? Is the warrenty/guarantee still valid?

Your phone will be repaired in a nokia care point. Usually they fix this problem whenever it occurs during a software update. If that key combination didn't help in your case, then it's definitely a point to go to a care point. I think it is covered by warantee but I'd advise you to call the service point just in case to check with them.

Nokia 5800XM issues after software update

Hi recently updated my 5800XM to software version 21.0.025 after getting an error saying 'Phone start up failed. Contact retailer.' Retailer has been useless, just told me to update software, so I did. Since the update, phone works, which is great. But internet no longer works. Or any apps which involve the internet! The app opens.. then connects, as it just starts to load, exits with no explanation. Is this a known bug? Is there a way to resolve it?
Also, screen turns purple and green at random intervals. Any help much appreciated, thanks x

Nokia 6650 fold - after software update, MapNav qu...

After the upgrade, "MapNav", a java app very dear to me, had disappeared from the phone. I tried to re-install it, and got the message "Certificate error. contact the application supplier."
Uh? What gives?
Can this be real?
- they uninstalled one of my apps without asking me?
- they make no effort for software upgrades to be compatible with all apps?
- they changed the certificates such that an app can't be installed any more?
- they don't think it would have been appropriate to warn folks that this upgrade is harmful?
Anybody have a fix or at least good explanation?

as you have a suffered a failed software update, the only thing you can do is take your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre for them to take a look at.

Dead after software update

I noticed after work tonite the software update shortcut was up with needed updates. I told it to do it and noticed later it has shut down, not restarted. I started it back up and it made it thru the tone, grey screen with apple and swirl thing and shut down.
I tried it again watching the lights.. same thing no code flashed just stopped
So... I tried resetting everything on the board
This time the monitor dropped out before the computer shut off.. ahaa reset video card again.. cured... no.. now no monitor at all no chimes either no code either
One more time..No lights no tones no monitor so I let it go and the dreaded fans slowly climbing to high speed began, shut off and started typing this on my pc.
Main board right?
how do I verify?
Best place to get a replacement board? Man this is a drag.... Cant afford a new mac
Please any help?
Thanks Kurt

See if you can Boot off your original G5 Install Disk while holding down Option/alt key to select AHT, then run the extended Apple Hardware Test.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions. (Well, the Installer actually uses superuser Permissions to do it's work, but after reboot it doesn't guarantee communication with other existing needed files Permissions.)
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

IMac DEAD after software update!

HELP! I have a new-ish (january or so) aluminum iMac, worked perfectly up until the recent software update to Leopard v. 10.5.3... after the update, it began spontaneously restarting. I could only use it for a brief amount of time before it reset itself again (and usually getting stuck with applications 'Not Responding' until then). I ran the latest iMac Firmware Update, thinking maybe that would be the solution, but it only made things worse (stupid). With each reboot it got worse, and eventually got stuck in a restart loop, making it to the blue screen and rebooting before reaching the desktop. I unplugged it to let it rest a bit, plugged it back in a couple hours later, and NOTHING. no response to the power button. NOTHING. Now I have a $2200 paperweight until I can get some kind of help on this..
fwiw, no problems post-software update on my 1&1/2 year old macbook...

Ok, here's my latest... I've got it back running again (for now, and hopefully for a while).
I did something similar to what the earlier poster said. hit the power button (the cd drive made it usual noise for a few seconds) then held the power button (i.e. cycled it off), then hit the power button again... it took a couple times but I heard the apple boot sound (whatever that's called) and it booted.
I actually had to do it again cause the machine got stuck in that reboot loop again before I could do the SMC reset but the second time I was quick enough to do the shutdown.
So far it's been up for the last 8 minutes or so...

Nokia X6 Bricked after Software Update :(

I have nokia X6 8gb. Yesterday i decided to update its software by connecting it to pc via usb and ovi suite. Every thing worked perfectly and update started installing. Then after it finished. Phone turned off. I thought that it was usual as phone would need a restart after installation. I waited... Waited and then waited 15 minutes and it didnt turned on automatically. So i pressed the power button and phone just gave a vibration and did nothing else. No even the red/green light blinked when i pressed power button.
It is really ridiculous stuff. Firmware updates are not meant to brick the phone.
Before anyone ask, i'll make it clear that i havent installed any cracked/unsigned stuff on my phone. Everything was legit.
My phone is just 4 months old so nokia should either repair or replace the phone free of cost. Am i right? I need a conformation from someone legit.
Another thing i would like to ask, is it necessary to bring the purchase bill to the service center? Wont they know by checking the imei number who is the buyer and then they could check my driving license to confirm ? I'm on vacation so can go back in between just to get the bill.

Have you looked at this post on forum?
/t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/Recovering-from-a-failed-firmware-update/m-p/398147/highlight/true#M112
Nokia Care Point won't necessarily have to verify ownership as if sold in EU it will be recorded as eligible for 24 months warranty and you're not asking them to reset "lock code" which can be suspicious.
Unfortunately firmware updates can fail and your X6 probably just needs to be re-flashed.

N82 dead after software update

Good evening,
I was just updating my phone via the nokia suite, when my computer suddenly restarted.. After this incident I have been unable to power up my phone, and I fear the worst..
Is there any way to fix this, apart from turning it in for a service?
-J

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.
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&message.id=14152#M14152
If that still fails then the last option is to take the phone to a nokia care point.

Phone dead after software update failure - Error symbol

I updated my BB device software, but the update process froze at the very end when the device is supposed to initialze. Now, when I turn on the phone, all I get is an error symbol looking like a crossed out application symbol with the number 543 underneath. When I plug the USB cable in, the computer recognizes the phone and desktop manager finds it as well, however I cannot connect to the device.
Urgent help needed!
Thanks.
Solved!

Installed Applications in E63 after Software Updat...

Will the installed Applications in my Nokia E63 work after Software Update? Is the any issue found by somebody?
Narottam Das
Kolkata, India

Hi steverabs
Unfortunately downgrading back to v12.0.013 is not an option with NSU.
GPS data is found in "Tools"
If you have installed any applications yourself, these will unfortunately have disappeared unless they were on memory card and phone settings were saved to memory card and then restored to phone after upgrade.
