Phone will not boot

OK. My Iphone 5s started getting warm (still worked) so I shut it down. Tried to boot a few hours later...nothing. Get the apple, then the spinning wheel for hours. I turned it off pressing both buttons at the same time and tried again....nothing!

Likely a hardware problem.
You can try placing the iPhone in Recovery Mode.

If you are unable to do this or after the iPhone is restored with iTunes there is no change, call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.

Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.
The following happens.
1. Speaker light lit (Green)
2. Phone displays a firmware upgrade page (see attachment) for a few minutes. (Doesn't seems to be upgrading, but it "saids" upgrading)
3. Saw Cisco logo with a Java Powered page.
4. The whole thing loops again and again...
I think the reason why the phone isn't booting up is because the phone needs to know where to find the configuration/firmware files from a tftp server. I do have a TFTP server, but normally I need to go in settings to change the alternative tftp server, but the thing is that now I can't even press the settings button...
Please help.

How many phones were reset and upgrading at one time? What is the setting of the TFTP Maximum Serving Count (Advanced TFTP Service Parm) on each of the TFTP servers?
Sounds like too many devices trying to use TFTP at once.

Phone will not boot, any hope to Recover Data?

Is there a way to get data off a phone that will not boot up?
My phone is constant rebooting. It reboots over and over and hangs on the eyeball screen, never getting to the home screen. (I plan to do a Factory Reset.)
I hadn't done a back up recently, and had been saving photos on the phone memory rather than the SD card (lesson learned.)
Is there any way to recover any of the data before doing a Factory Reset?
I am aware of the "Volume Down, Power button" start up to do the reset - is there anything there that will allow it to be connected to the computer to copy files off?
... By the way, I have started the phone using Volume Down / Power start up and selected "Recovery" and I get the icon of a phone with a red triangle with an "!" inside it, but my computer does not recognize the phone when it is plugged in via USB.
Thanks.

I regret to hear that Safe mode is not working correctly. Below I have provided the instruction just in case.

If the device will not go into Safe mode, I would agree with Budone and complete a hard reset

Software update via desktop manager failed, phone will not boot

I used the Desktop Software (I had to update this first to version 6.00.43; anyway, that's what the Rim.Desktop.exe file properties in Windows Explorer says it is) to update my Curve 8900 's software. It went through the first two steps of downloading and installing; then just sat there stuck on the reboot step -- no kind of error message, just stuck, with phone displaying the AT&T sign on screen for probably a good chunk of lat night (started doing this a little before bed) and all through the day today. Only removing the battery will shut off the phone; once restarted, the white progress bar fills up over a number of minutes and goes back to the AT& screen again; hangup button will not shut the phone down. If I reconnect the USB and the Desktop Software is still running, status message continues to say "disconnected"; if I first connect the USB and then start the software, get a "connecting..." status message but it never connects. Windows 7 "Safely Remove Hardware" list does not display it.
Any way to fix this?

Close Desktop Manager.
Then do this:

Then follow the instructions exactly in the first post of this thread to install the OS listed there.:
http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8900-series-discussion-javelin/227412-os-8900-v5-0-0-1168-5-...
Once you have that done, then you can use Desktop manager to restore the backup file that the original update should have made.

After changing the battery in my iphone 4s, the phone will not boot up. I only see the apple and when it sits for a few minutes, a code shows above it. What is going on? Did I damage the phone by replacing the battery?

My sister gave me her iphone 4s for my son. It needed a new battery so, I bought one and replaced it. after doing so, it will not power up. I can only see the apple on the screen and when left for a few minutes.... 10 lines of numbers and codes show up at the top of the screen. Did I ruin the iphone by replacing the battery? Was a simple switch so I don't understand what is going on. Have never had one of these before.

iPhones are not user servicable.
Take the device to a competent repair person or buy a new one.

My father's iphone will not boot. We live in Barbados but the phone was bought in the US. Is there any way to fix this, or does he need a new phone, and is this covered by warranty?

My father has owned his iphone for almost exactly 9 months. The phone was purchased in the US when he was on holiday. We live in Barbados, but the phone should still be under warranty. (please correct me if I'm wrong). He says the phone will not boot, it is inconsistent with showing how much battery life it has and it keeps looping because it's always trying to reboot. He treats his electronics very well and the phone is in perfect condition. Is there any way that this can be fixed without him losing all the information on the phone? Or can he get a replacement phone (due to the warranty issue)?

Have you tried any basic troubleshooting

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Device will not Boot up after a battery pull.

Hi guys, today is my first time using this website and I also registered today so I am very much NEW here.
I live in Jamaica and my service provider is Digicel Jamaica. My phone is out of warranty by 6 months now as it was purchased 1.5 years ago from Digicel through my company that I was working for.
I have a Torch 9860 with OS version 7.1.
Two months ago while charging the phone with the charger that was supplied from the manufacturer, i realised that the phone had become very hot and as such i removed the charger and let it cool via removing the battery cover, at that point i realised that using the keypad to type messages the slightest tap of any letter resulted in that letter either not responding or it would give me multiples of the same letter , which prompted me to tap delete which would either delete the whole word or sometimes just the letter. at other times, the keypad would work just fine. the battery also did not keep charge for more than a few minutes, and upon inspecting the battery realised it was swollen, as such I had it replaced with one purchased from my Dealer which solved the issue of not holding a charge, but the keypad was still behaving funny as previously explained above.
My major issue I am now facing is I did a battery Pull anf after replacing the battery, the Phone will not boot up, no blackberry logo with the load bar being displayed, the phone appears to be dead. the battery indicator light is blank even if the charger is connected. This occurred once about a week ago and after several remove and replacing the battery it finally booted up and worked, but did another battery pull two days ago and it still will not power on.
Please Help, can you advise me if this is a new issue or what needs to be done. I am thinking as a last option to replace the entire board, but out here in Jamaica, that is a very costly option.
Thank you for taking the time to review this, any help or guidance or feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Jamaikhan
If this happened to you because your problem is that is nuked stay dead ...
I can relive through using programs like BBSACK to apply a Wipe
You must download the OS from your Blackberry 9860.
Having the Desktop Manager installed on your PC ...

Iphone 4 will not boot up, the apple logo does not go away

The phone will not boot up, the apple logo stays on and does not finish booting. All I did was delete an app, I went to reboot the phone becasue it was running slow and now it wont boot up at all. I've tried the hard reset and nothing

And then if that fails try this:
What is DFU: Device Firmware Upgrade
Step 1: Turn off your iPod touch / iPhone completely and connect to PC / mac
Step 2: Hold down the Power button for 3 seconds
Step 3: Without releasing the power button, also hold the Home button for 10 seconds
Step 4: Without releasing the home button, release the power button and keep holding the Home button for 20 seconds.
Itunes will identify that you are in DFU mode.

Unfortunately, you can't restore an iCloud backup without using wifi so that isn't an option.

U310 Windows 7 will not boot or recover

I have a problem with my Ideapad U310 as it will not boot into Windows, nor does the recovery feature work. A number of days ago upon powering on my laptop got stuck on the Windows 7 loading screen. I tried a few more times, including the 'Startup Repair', but there was no change. I still have warranty so I contacted Lenovo support and they called me back. An extra complication is that I live in Japan and bought the laptop here, but my Japanese isn't good enough to discuss computer problems over the phone and Lenovo does not have English speaking staff in Japan. A Japanese friend took the call for me and they suggested going back to factory settings. However, I did not have a recent backup so I wanted to secure my files first. I opened the laptop and made a backup of the most important files from the HDD (voiding the warranty, which seemed quite useless anyway since they don't have a physical address for repairs and all other support is in Japanese). I was then ready to try going through OneKey Recovery. After pressing the button I get three options and I choose the bottom one for the Recovery feature. Then Windows starts loading files ... and gets stuck again on a loading screen.
I don't know how to proceed now. I don't have a recovery CD, nor a disc drive. So is there a way to get a clean install of Windows 7 by USB, given my boot-up issues? Or is there another solution?

Have you tried the one key recovery button located beside the power button (on the side of the laptop)? It is the number1 in this picture: http://goo.gl/Tzsnvx
It should take you to the recovery menu (the one from Lenovo, not Microsoft). This should work as the recovery will wipe your Windows partition and will reinstall everything as it was in the beginning.
Anyway, before opening the laptop, you should have downloaded linux (any distribution was OK) and started it from a USB drive. You could have, then, saved all the files you needed located in the Windows partition.

RE: HP XP Media Center 2005 Ed will not boot from HP System Restore CD's

RE: HP XP Media Center 2005 Ed will not boot from HP System Restore CD's.
The following instructions about the "Code Purple" error FAILED. Error is still present.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
***PLAIN ENGLISH QUICK AND EASY FIX FOR ALL SYSTEMS****
***Windows 7 code purple or Windows Vista code purple***
With the code purple error on the screen, press shift+f10 (the shift key and the F10 key (at the top of the keyboard) at the same time) to open a little screen called a command prompt. (So, you get a little black screen with white text that says something about your Windows verison first and a little ways down you'll see "C:\>".   It's all ready for you to start typing.)
Type the following line, just as you see it here...
notepad C:\hp\bin\checkdmi\checkdmi.cmd
so it will look like this
C:\>notepad C:\hp\bin\checkdmi\checkdmi.cmd
Press Enter.
You will see the text for the file listed in a window using a simple text editor.
Go to the beginning of the text. Press enter to make a space. Type this...
goto cleanup
So, whatever comes after, the first line looks like this...
goto cleanup
Save the file and exit notepad and restart your PC. You are good to go.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
RESULT: Same error and problem.
So, NOW THE SCENARIO IS THIS...[ And A CHALLANGE TO ALL HP Software EXPERTS]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1. The PC will not boot the System Restore CD's
2. The Original OS install and [HP_RECOVERY] disk sector has been severely damaged by
all of the following:
   A. Massive Virus Infections as shown by Kaspersky Virus Scan and cleaned up.
   B. The user had originally updated the pc to Vista Business Express Upgrade
       (Supplied by HP with the original purchase and warranty).
        (Prior to the upgrade, Media Center was working correctly.)
   C. The original OS product key(XP Media Center Ed. 2005) has been changed by the Vista Business Express upgrade.
   D. The destructve recovery done by PC-Doctor has done user file damage(s).
   E. All software, and possibly hardware could be corrupted & damaged by viruses,
   incomplete recovery, and the unknown failures and conditions.
To sum up, the system is locked in an unknown state, waiting for expert help.
(I can allow and manage to let someone diagnose, repair remotely using another OS i.e.Linux Opensuse 12.1, or XP Home ed if needed.)
SO IF YOU THINK YOU ARE UP TO THIS CHALLANGE, SEND MESSAGES TO DAVHPForum anytime. Thanks in advance!

That link is for the flasher tool, you'll need that to repair the device..
Here are the steps.. you'll need to follow them pretty accurately:
turn phone off
remove battery
put battery back in
plug USB cable into computer
Press and hold down the 'u' button on the keyboard.. don't let it go
plug USB cable into phone
wait until the Nokia logo appears, a little USB icon should appear in the top right corner of the screen. the backlight MAY NOT turn on at all
release the 'u' button
run the flasher tool: flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode
The flasher prog should run for a moment then finish. If it DOES NOT and sits waiting for suitable device, STOP.. this is bad..
Ok, if all that went well, now for the repair bit
unplug the USB from the phone
The phone will power off or reboot
If the phone turned off, turn it on with the power button
let the phone boot up.. it may take some time.. some reports say you might need to enter the date/time again..
If it doesn't boot STOP.. something has gone bad..
Ok, if the phone booted ok, finish off
Turn the phone off with the power button
remove battery
reinsert battery
press and hold the 'u' button
insert USB cable into phone
wait until the Nokia logo appears as before
release the 'u' button
run the flasher tool again: flasher --disable-rd-mode
wait for flasher to finish.. if it sits waiting for suitable device STOP.. something has gone wrong.. it shoudl run for a few seconds then stop.. anything else is bad
Remove USB cable from phone
phone might restart or turn off.. if it turns off, turn it on..
Hopefully you're fixed and up and running..
Let us know how you get on
Anyone else reading this, don't just follow the instructions if you're unsure.. ASK someone first.. This proceedure is subject to change in the future when new firmware is released and tools are updated

Will Not Boot Up: Pavilion Slimline PC 400-314 desktop

Have a new Pavilion Slimline PC 400-314 desktop. Power green lite is on at back of computer but will not boot up when "On" button is pushed and held. Can you help?

Hello @Bill1303,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that the green light on your power supply is lite up on your HP Pavilion Slimline PC 400-314 Desktop PC, yet it will not power on when you push the power button. If you can hear things going on when you push the button then I would like you to follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Screen is Blank after Starting the Computer.
If on the other hand nothing happens when you push the power button then the issue you are describing appears to be a physical issue. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html.

MacBook pro will not boot. I get the gray screen, an apple icon and spinning wheel. Tried to start in safe mode but get the same screen. The only thing different was that I loaded the zedge sync app yesterday. Now getting this problem.

Macbook pro will not boot. I get the gray screen, an apple icon and spinning wheel. I tried to start in safe mode, but get this same screen. The only thing different is that I added the zedge update app to do a sync for adding ringtones to my apple cell phone. How can I get a good boot. I am fairly new to apple computer.

Reset PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405 and then try a normal boot.
Run the Startup Manager to select Startup disk: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310
If those did not work your disk may be sick or dying. The top priority at this point is to make a backup copy of your data.
Check the health of the disk. Boot in Recovery Mode (Boot, Command-R). Run Disk Utility. Click on the upper left disk icon. Does the S.M.A.R.T. status say “Verified”? If not the disk/SSD is unhealthy and needs to be replaced. Even if it does not show “Verified” you can still attempt a backup.
Click on the icon indented below, usually called “Macintosh HD” and Verify Disk. If it finishes with a green “OK” message then all is well with the disk. If it shows errors in red then you have found a problem to address once the system is backed up. Do not attempt software repairs until you have secured the data.
If the disk will not show up at all in Disk Utility as your ran the tests above then it may be dead or it may have a bad internal SATA cable. A trip to an Apple store for confirmation would be in order.
If you have an external disk drive you can use as a backup drive then do so. If not Google “Hitachi USB 3.0 external hard drive 1TB” to purchase one or go to a brick-and-mortar store (including an Apple store) to pickup one. Any 1 TB external drive will do.
Assuming it is still breathing you can try to recover the data without booting from the sick disk.
Reformat the external disk. (This will erase all data on the external disk.)
Boot in Recovery Mode. Start Disk Utility. Plug in the new disk. Select it’s disk Icon (the second one down, left justified). Select the Partition tab.
Partition Layout > Single Partition
Name: Emergency Recovery 1 (or whatever name you wish to use)
Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Options… > GUID Partition Table > OK
Apply
Select the Restore tab.
Drag the old system volume (Macintosh HD) to Source.
Drag the new disk volume (Emergency Recovery 1) to Destination.
Click on Restore.
It may take a long time for the backup.
If that will not complete post back for other emergency data recovery methods, including those from a brody.
If the backup succeeds, use the First Aid tab in Disk Utility to select the old volume (Macintosh HD) and Repair Disk. If it does not finish with a green OK message try to repair it once or twice more. If it repairs with a green OK message, will it boot normally? If not, boot from the Recovery Partition and reinstall OS X.
If it is still not healthy, post back for further instructions.
