Phone get hosed trying to update OS

Tour 9630 - Sprint version
3 times now I have attempted to update to 4.7.1 and 3 times the device got hosed. Luckily, I have the restore procedure down pat now. Each time it hangs at the JVM part and it says the device is no longer connected. Then you get the white screen of death with the 507 - No OS error. To restore, I delete vendor.xml and run loader.exe with the /nojvm switch.
Can anybody tell me what the deal is? I have the latest version of Desktop Manager. This seems like a rather nasty bug/defect.
In case anybody needs to know to help me, I run Win XP SP3 and BB Desktop Manager 5.0.1.18. Phone version is 4.4.1.40 (platform 4.1.0.40). Branding version 1.0.101.242. BB system software 4.7.0.
I just won't update my OS, I guess. Phone has been wiped clean and a fresh install done, then the upgrade was attempted, so no software is interfering. This is obviously a BB issue on the software or hardware side. I have seen other posts about this issue, but no answers yet.
Again, just very disappointing that I can't trust my phone to update without losing everything. I backup and restore after re-installing the OS, but then I need to download everything again and its a major PITA. Would love some answers.
OS v5.0.0.484

Ok. Do you remember what you were updating? Like Itunes or a security update. And did you let it complete and install? To install the update, it usually asks for your password and sometime asks you to restart. Here are some options to try. http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203176

Sounds like their was some corruption that occured during the update. Have you tried connecting it to iTunes in recovery mode and restoring it from backup (or to factory settings if from a backup fails)? Use the instructions in this article to walk you through placing your device in recovery mode.
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Otherwise, try DFU mode.

Let me answer you ony have just gave out a speech about the "error" of their words. Since then, they stopped speech about it. I bet it's the truth that Xperia 2011 wont get an update, they just want to calm us down

My Iphone was previously Jailbroken, but then I tried to update it and the update never completed. So i deleted Cydia off of the phone, then I tried to update it again. It still didn't work, so I tried to restore it, but it didn't work error 21

Phone stalls when trying to update or delete account

I've had problems with my 5c since updating the software (now running 7.1.2). My main issue is that I can't toggle any of the settings on my mail/calendar accounts (combination of Google and Exchange) or my iCloud account. Whenever I toggle one of the settings (such as "Notes") I get a grey "spinning wheel of doom" square on my screen with the message "Updating Your Settings..." The square remains on the screen forever--the update never happens. Same thing when I try to delete an account.
What I've tried so far:
Restarting my phone
Resetting the network
Restoring factory defaults

Same problem here. IMDB, TWC (weather app) Goodreader… Started this morning, out of the blue.
After deleting IMDB (hoping to reinstall), that app cannot be installed again! Trying to, gets you the same “Update unavailable” error.
Also, the problematic apps are not listed in my “Purchased” list (which is the real problem I think).
I also tried through iTunes. Same problem.
Can someone confirm that the problem apps are not showing in your purchased list?
I don’t know if it’s on Apple’s side (in which case it will get fixed) or on my side (meaning I will have to do something).
(I contacted Apple, waiting for reply.)

Phone bricked with trying to update to iOS 5

I dl iOS 5 and tried to update my iPhone with iTunes 10.5 but it bricked my computer. All I get is the Apple logo on start up, then a bar like it is going to boot but doesn't do anything and then I get a spinning wheel and repeats over and over. iTunes won't even recognize it when connected to my Macbook with Lion 10.7.2 Anyway to fix it??? HELP! Glad I didn't try to update my iPad yet as I use it all the time.

Did you jailbreak any of your devices? They have a chance of not working or upgrading properly if you jailbreak them, and there aren't very high chances of being able to restore them to default settings either.
If you jailbroke it we can't really help you, so know that first.

HT4623 Trying to update to iOS7. Update was successful, but needed to do a few things next. Went through steps, then phone states update iCloud settings. Phone has been trying to update all night and today without success. Is there anything I can do?

Trying to update to iOS7. Update successful except a few more things to do. Now it is in "updating iCloud settings" and has been updating all night and day. Do not understand why it is taking so long? Any suggestions?

Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

I have a dumb phone I am trying to update my operating system but don't have the software update under general setting. I've tried to do this on line but nothing! Help

I have a dumb phone not a smart phone. It doesn't have the software update under general setting. I tried to upgrade online but nothing! Currently, I cannot get many apps because I need the upgrade. Help

That's because you don't have iOS 5 or higher. See the following:
Connect the phone to your computer. Open iTunes. Select your phone from the sidebar under Devices. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Click on the Update button.

Did anyone else have their phone reset after trying to update?

I had the same problems as most doing the update last night, then suddenly my phone came up with the plug into iTunes symbol. Even when I updated it stayed with that symbol, like t was stuck.
Eventually I managed to get it to reset, but it didn't restore from the backup so I lost everything. :(
How do I get it to restore from backup? Or have I lost all my photos?
Did anyone get this problem?

I'm experiencing a similar problem. My thunderbolt external drive (Lacie) and my external video card (TripleHeadtoGo) are both unrecognized. The Matrox troubleshooting tools say it's not even connected...
Resetting PRAM and SMC worked one time, but the next time my mac went to sleep, it lost the connection again, and I've now down several resets & reboots, and I've still got no thunderbolt connectivity. Very frustrating.
Avoiding bad updates is part of why I switched from Windows to a Mac.

If you dont have none option then you must own itunes some money. So you have to enter the payment like a itunes giftcard. you can contact itunes by email by going to expresslane.apple.com

Finally got through to tech support and found someone who seemed to know what was going on, he walked me through and using appleid.applesupport got me to a point where i could get a new password for the apple id that kept showing up.
I think you were on the right trail and I want to say thanks for your help. Much appreciated
