Nokia 822 ERROR: Unable to find bootable option.

My 822 now says, "ERROR: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shut down."
This occurred earlier today immediately upon installing a Verizon update. The phone worked perfectly before the update.
What is going on? I certainly am not going to accept responsibility for this failure, or replacing this phone.
Before you ask, the phone is in perfect condition otherwise. Never dropped. Never seen even a drop of water (or any other liquid).
One thing peculiar I did notice was that the update took over an hour to download, which seems like quite a long time considering data transfer rates.
So, what can be done?
To recap:
1) My phone worked perfectly. It was in perfect condition.
2) An update was installed (which Verizon recommended (and I'd go as far as to say forced))
3) Now the phone is completely inoperable, only giving the error message listed above.
Help please?

Hi Joel, the sim card has been removed and reinstalled multiple times with no effect. And yes, only the the original Verizon software was on the device. To be clear, the phone was attempting to install a Verizon-forced update when it died. I would rather have not had the update because the phone was working perfectly, but Verizon does not give the option to decline updates, only delay them. It should be noted that with the help of Verizon associate (Lovesa) the Nokia Software Recovery Tool was attempted, but even that did nothing.
I have now done at least 8 hours of research on this and it is obvious this is a widespread and known issue with the 822. There appears to be absolutely nothing that can be done to revive the phone at this point. After viewing literally hundreds of posts on the "unable to find bootable option" error no one has found a fix. This issue is well documented.
Why Verizon would force an update that ruins users phones is beyond me. And to take no responsibility is, in my view (and most likely the law's view), criminal. To be completely honest and forthright, I am so upset about this situation Verizon is now losing a 15 year loyal customer.

Nokia 822 ERROR: Unable to find boot option

My 822 says "Error: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shut down"
This happened last night after installing a Verizon update. The phone worked prior to the update. The phone quit working solely because of the update from Verizon. What can be done to fix the phone?

My 822 now says, "ERROR: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shut down." Just happened after my phone froze. Everything I've searched says to replace the phone. I have no phone in or out, no alarm....what is going on with this? I see others

Just got the same error message today. My phone went to the black screen of death with the error message at the top. Contacted Verizon via chat. Was online for 1 hour and 15 minutes only to find out that nothing could be done which I could have told them based upon what I had read on this site. Of course my phone is out of warranty since I have had it for 1 1/2 years and I am not eligible for an upgrade. How convenient! I was told to contact Nokia which I did and they gave me a download to try to reset everything. It looked like it was working but after almost 3 hours it got to the end and nothing happened. It just froze even though it said it was done. I rebooted the phone and am back at the same black screen of death. Guess I have to buy a used phone and then will have to reconsider whether or not to stay with Verizon going forward. I have not had any issues with the phone in the past - keep it in an otter box, never dropped, never got wet, etc. But all of a sudden it goes haywire like this that seems like either a hardware or software problem but something completely out of my control and all I get is sorry, you're out of warranty!

Nokia Lumia 620 "Error: Unable to find bootable op...

Hello
I'm in need of some help with my Nokia Lumia 620. It is 21 months old. It was running on Lumia Denim (WindowsPhone8 (8.10.14219) according to the Hardware/Software Info on my account on windowsphone.com)
Today the screen suddenly went black when I tried to open the email app and started to display the message "Error: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shutdown"
I have tried removing the battery and replacing it after ten mins. I still get the error.
I have tried removing the battery and sim card and replacing the battery after ten mins. Still no joy.
I have tried to perform a HARD reset. This doesn't work as as soon as the power button vibrates and I press the volume down button the phone shuts down, the exclamation mark never appears.
Please could you point me in the right direction for solving this and getting my phone up and running

Hi, srikanth93.
If you are pertaining to Lumia phones that has the Windows Phone 8.1 software, yes, those are supported by the Nokia Software Recovery Tool. You can verify this info here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-ph/mobile/support/product/lumia520/faq/?action=singleTopic&topic=FA14298.... If the recovery tool is installed on your computer & it's still not recognizing your phone, try to uninstall it and install again. By the way, have you tried coordinating this with a different Nokia Care Point for a second opinion?
Note that the link will direct you to the local support page of the Philippines. If you're from a different location, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/support/locations/.
Best of luck and welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions. ;-)

Nokia Lumia 822 ERROR: Unable to find a bootable option.

My phone was working perfectly, and then all of a sudden it began to perform slowly.
And so, I shut the phone off.
Now I am getting an error message of "Unable to find a bootable option. Press any key to shut down."
Why has this happened to my phone, and what is the remedy?

Unfortunately the phone is DOA. The memory chip that stores the boot information and OS went bad. I'd suggest you contact Nokia support over VZW to get a replacement. Phone us - Nokia - USA

Lumia 520 Unable find bootable option. Press any Key to shut down

I am facing this error on my Lumia 520 phone it suddenly went blank & a message is popping up "Unable to find bootable option. Press any Key to shut down" Please help what is this issue.

Ok, So even I had a Lumia 520 in India. Got the same error randomly one morning. Tried reflashing using Nokia Software Recovery tool and it doesnt work. So it IS a hardware failure and according to me it a sector of the memory has failed. I went to the
Nokia Care (out of warranty) and the guy there said that it would cost me INR 3600 (~$60). What the hell? I paid 120 for the phone and half the price for the repair? But if you are IN warranty, then you are lucky. Just send it to Nokia and they will fix it
for free. It is a hardware failure and you can do literally nothing at home. Just try the Nokia Software Recovery tool once, though it is a big download of 1.5GB

Error: "Unable to find a working IR device" in Windows Vista 64-bit, Audigy 4

I have Audigy 4 Pro with the RM-500 remote that came with it.
The remote is not working in Vista 64-bit (Enterprise).
It is definitely not a hardware problem because everything works in Windows XP Professional SP3. When I dual boot into Vista, the remote doesn't control anything in Windows but the red light on the I/O external box is blinking so it's definitely receiving input.
When I run "Entertainment Center Settings", I get the error "Unable to find a working IR device" and all the options are greyed out.

Has anyone gotten the remote working in Windows Vista 64-bit's? Thank you for your help.
Regards,

_ I am having this exact same issue on vista business 32 bit. Everything else on the external box works perfectly fine, except the remote. The remote does work however with intelliremote, but I cannot justify paying the money for such simple functionality. Any fix on [email protected]

Repartitioned now unable to find bootable device

I recently attempted to set up bootcamp on my late 2012 mac mini. I backed up my system using time machine and did the re-partition step. At some point during the repartition the screen went black and the cursor started blinking in the upper left corner of the screen. I waited nearly an hour before I tried restarting and I got the message "unable to find bootable device. I've tried restarting while holding the option button and I still end up in the same place. How do I recover my initial install? I have a superdrive and a bootable usb but it doesn't look at either device.

Graphics Error: Unable to find suitable font!

I am trying to use the program rasmol (that displays molecules), and I get the error:
Graphics Error: Unable to find suitable font!
I installed rasmol by
pacman -Sy rasmol
today for version 2.7.3-2
also did I do a system upgrade today:
pacman -Suy
the section "Files" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains:
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/encodings"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/util"
I have added all directories in /usr/share/fonts to be sure and restarted X.
I tried installing all font packages that I could find, but the error is still the same:
#pacman -Q | grep font
font-bh-ttf 1.0.0-2
fontcacheproto 0.1.2-1
fontconfig 2.3.2-6
fontsproto 2.0.2-1

ttf-isabella 1.003-2
ttf-junicode 0.6.5pre20051126-2
ttf-ms-fonts 1.3-8
I removed the fonts.dir and fonts.scale in /usr/share/fonts and /usr/share/fonts/TTF and did mkfontscale and mkfontdir
to replace them.
restarting X and retrying to run rasmol still gives the same error.
I have tried to search google for the error message but all I could find was the source code that probably produced the message:
http://www.bernstein-plus-sons.com/soft … c/x11win.c
and some redhat binary file that gives some fonts seemingly along with the error message:
http://www.bernstein-plus-sons.com/cgi- … smol_16BIT

which might be an indication for which fonts I need.
Could anyone please give me some assistance to get the program working,
perhaps by giving advise on how to install the abovementioned fonts
or anything else that I have failed to do.
I would really appreciate it , thanx

Hey,
i too get the same error that no suitable fonts could be found. I installed all the fonts mentioned in this thread. My Section "Files" looks like this:
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi"

FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/speedo"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/encodings"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/util
EndSection
Still the error occurs. Does somebody know how to fix this?

Error: Unable to find all subVIs from saved VIs.

TestStand 2010 SP1, LabVIEW 2011, WinXP
Trying to build a deployment in TestStand.
During the build, I get the now-infamous popup:
Title: "Save Modified VIs?"
Text: "An error occured while trying to read the dependencies of your VIs; a possible cause for this problem is VIs not saved in the current version of LabVIEW. Would you like to save any modified VIs now?"
I select "yes", and the build then fails with errors in the log pane of the "Build Status" window. The error is:
Error: Unable to find all subVIs from saved VIs, either a subVI is missing or the VI is not saved under the current LabVIEW version.
The missing file path is: etc, etc.
I go to said missing path. The VI is in fact present. I open the VI and do "Save All", try again. Same thing. Then, I try a Mass Compile on the test VI directory. Attempt to build again, same error.
Note that I do call some VIs dynamically, but those are all present in my workspace, and are not found in this error.
Is there a debugging option or log file or some kind of trace I can do to dig into this and find out the state of things causing the error? Please help me out here.
-Andy

One quick way to narrow down the issue is to change your LabVIEW adapter to Run-Time engine and then try and run the sequence in the Sequence Editor.
Also, triple check your search directories and make sure you're not pulling in VIs from an unexpected location.
When you see that dialog it's already too late to save so trying to Save at that point never works.
Another tip is to ignore which VIs it says are not saved in the current version and instead look at the subVIs that those VIs are calling. You can run into this if you have two subVIs loaded with the same name.
