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.:

Once you have that done, then you can use Desktop manager to restore the backup file that the original update should have made.

  • Desktop manager and Phone will not connect

    Why will my phone not connect to my desktop manager? Please help me?

    Are you still experiencing this issue? Have you tried using another USB port or USB cable to connect? If so, try uninstalling and reinstalling Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac. http://bbry.lv/cjrGPM
    Once your BlackBerry connects with the Desktop Manager, you may want to do a clean application load to resolve the issues your device is having. http://bbry.lv/aKuQoN

  • 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.

  • My iPhone 5 has my old email address and password in it, I updated both online, but my phone will not recognize and therefore has now locked me out of my photo stream.  how do I change my iCloud email on my phone???

    Please help.
    iCloud on my iPhone still has my old email in it with no option to update it.  I have no access to the old email.   I updated my email and password online via my macbook, but my phone will not recognize either!  It keeps popping up a screen for me to enter my password, but it says it's incorrect.  
    How do I fix this on my phone?????
    I can't fix it online because my iCloud online (although working) does not recognize either of my devices because they need updated….which I'm not able to do due to storage issues.
    I just want my phone to recognize the new email and password!!
    I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm about to throw this phone across the room.
    thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
    This article provides more information about Activation Lock.
    This is answer is provided from my own database of boilerplate responses and the content was last reviewed and tested on: 2014/05/23
    You should still be able to log into an old email account, even if you haven't used it for some time, very few providers delete email accounts.

  • G4 updated to 10.4.7, now will not boot up

    I didn't realize all of the updating issues with 10.4.7 or I would not have updated. Now my computer won't start up. This is what I did:
    1. Ran Software Update for 10.4.7
    2. Rebooted computer.
    3. HP error message appeared about "shared Library" problem
    4. Used Spotlight to remove HP printer utilities ( I don't have an HP printer anymore.)
    5. reboot
    6. HP error message did not come up, Yeh!
    7. Tried to open a doc in Appleworks. Error message comes up about "shared library" problem.
    8. Checked out this site.
    9. Rebboted computer and zapped PRAM (opt-cmd P-R)
    10 Computer will not boot up. I get the message "restart your computer using the power switch or reboot button. This message repeats everytime.
    Help. I don't want to take this to the shop. It's an Apple and I was only doing an update!!!! How could this be?
    Thanks,

    Thank you for your help and I will have to try those suggestions if I try to update to 10.4.7 again.
    Before I read your post, I started the computer from the original Panther discs (Held down "c" while rebooting) and did a series of "software updates" until I was back to where I started. All of my system information and files were fine. Although Quicktime is not working quite right.
    I will be more careful with "software upsdates" after this experience.

  • 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.

  • Desktop manager for mac will not read the memory card

    I have a Storm and the desktop manager does everything correctly except it will not recognize the media card for music.  It says "please insert a media card in your device."  Ive got the 8GB microSD card and it shows up in the phone memory but i cant load any music from my computer.

    OK, I spent an hour and a half on the phone with RIM support this morning trying to fix this very thing with SUCCESS!!!  Here is what you need to do.  Keep in mind that this fix can only be done on a PC and NOT a Mac.  Sucks, but its reality.  Click on the link below and make sure that the PC your doing this on has the BB desktop manager installed on it.  I went to my dads house and used his PC.  After the tech and I learned that the DM has to be installed before you start the fix we were able to resolve the problem and the DM on the mac recognizes the media card.  I'm also able to see the BB1 and BB2 icons on the desktop now so I can drag and drop if I want.  I hope this helps you all.  If you need additional help with this please ask.  I may not be the most tech savy person here but I may be able to help a little.  Here you go:
    NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT THE DESKTOP MANAGER IS INSTALLED ON THE PC YOUR USING FIRST.  I ONLY INSTALLED THE ENGLISH VERSION WITHOUT MEDIA SYNCH (to reduce download size and time)  AND IT WORKED GREAT.
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/documentLink.do?externalID=KB19717
    Follow the directions to the tee and it should work fine. 
    PS:  If you have problems with your blackberry and you cant find the fix here or on CB call your carrier tech support.  If they cant resolve they are pretty quick at getting RIM on the case and resolving without you getting charged for it.  Verizon was helpful at that and when I spoke with BB tech support they were extremely helpful.  I was very impressed.
    I hope this helps all of you with this problem.  Good luck out there!!!!

  • Windows 7 Desktop Manager 6.0 will not sync calendar with Outlook

    I just loaded Windows 7 and now I can't get Desktop Manager to recognize Outlook Calendar.  It shows (not installed) next to the Calendar on the sync window.
    I have uninstalled Desktop software and reloaded and same issue.  I am using a Bold 9700 if this matters.
    Please help

    Hello Shawzy and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Have a look at KB23978 which should correct the issue you are experiencing with your Calendar. 
    Let me know how you make out.
    Thanks! And have a great day

  • Software Update via Server Admin 10.5.1 not working.

    I have a headless XServe running 10.5.1 that I control using Server Admin. Unfortunately, the feature to install updates via Server Admin doesn't seem to be working.
    When I click Check Now, it says it is "Checking for new software", then stays for a bit on "scanning in progress". It then stops, and there's no updates listed.
    When I use ARD to log into the machine and run Software Update there, there are updates to be installed.
    Does anyone know why this isn't working?

    I experienced this with a pre-release build from the past.
    You didn't specify where the build came from. Is it possible that the Admin that gave you the disk gave you an older pre-release build?
    These disks often came from bit torrents or the developer connection pre-release builds. Todays modern binaries are not compatible with the pre-release OS, so its typical to see the error messages that you have experienced.
    If you used a genuine apple branded production build then you may want to try the update again as I've seen that the update servers go down from time to time.

  • 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.

  • HT4759 Help, I can not get my iphone to change my email. I changed it on icloud and itunes and it comes up correctly there. I have synced my phone hooked to computer. all updates are done. The phone will not come up with the new email soI cant use icloud

    phone says Photo Stream.   photos for the icloud account "icloud" cannot be accessed. Review your account information in Settings. When I got to settings a pop up says Apple ID password and under that is my email. BUT it is the INCORRECT email. When i try to put in the password for the OLD email it won't work. It wont work if I put the password in for the NEW email either. In Settings -> my Account says the OLD email, when I click on that email it takes me to the icloud Account Information. Says Apple ID is the Old email. BUT I changed my email on icoud and verified it I also change my email in itunes and am able to access the Apple App store on my phone and itunes. It is correct everywhere except on my iphone. It came over correctly to my iPAD but won't on my phone.  I also can't use the icloud push or load my icloud storage plan to my phone. Please help...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • Due to my account being hacked, I changed my Apple ID, I did not create a new account.  Now my software updates want the old ID but will not accept the password.  How can I update built in software.

    My orginal Apple ID was hacked, so I changed my Apple ID.  I did not create a new ID.  I have changed my ID on my profile on my MacBook Pro.  However now I have an update for factory installed software iPhoto and iMovie that is asking for the old ID.  How can I get the updates or force them to use the new ID that I am using for every other Apple product I own.

    You'll have to talk to Apple about AppleID and account issues, we are just other users here.
