Update gone wrong help please

Hi
I have an N95 8Gb, which I am trying to pdate to the latest software. I needed to do some updates on PC suite and Nokia updater ( as I havnt used either for a while ). I did a back up which seemed to work fine as I have a big content copie file. I then proceeded to update. The new software downloaded ok and started to install, it all seemed to be going OK until the pc lost connection with the phone. I got instructions to remove the cable, battery and re-connect ( can't just remember the exact order but I followed it ) and hit retry, it didn't re-connect so I tried several times. The software has now hung at this point, and I can only escape my disconnecting the USB. Now my phone won't boot or connect. Anyone, please where do I go from here ?
Many thanks
Steve

The article isn't mine, it was written by a friend who goes by the name "psychomania" round these parts.
If the phone does get bricked, a Nokia Care Point usually has the necessary hardware and software to revive it or can sent it off to a service centre where they definitely have what's needed. So, your assumption was correct.
The content copier file is so large because of all the additional stuff not in the ROM that's installed with the firmware. Stuff like Ngage, for example, which takes up about 15 MB all on its lonesome. Then there are third-party themes you may have installed, additional software, user files...

    Were you trying to use http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-74858 ???
    If so, we bricked several machines at the beginning of April and asked Lenovo to remove the update.  I see that hasn't been done.  Maybe now they will.

  • Hi i want to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to OS X Mavericks or OS X Yosemite. My software update menu dosnn´t find any updates available. Help please, what can i do to upgrade to OS X Mavericks or newer version?

    Hi i want to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to OS X Mavericks or OS X Yosemite. My software update menu dosnn´t find any updates available. Help please, what can i do to upgrade to OS X Mavericks or newer version?

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, the computer's also incompatible with Mountain Lion and Mavericks; if desired, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Getting error message2324 when downloading the new update for itunes help please

    getting error message 2324 when downloading the latest update of itunes help please.
    Will not let me uninstall itunes from my computer, gives me the message that I don't have access need administrator. ( I am the only user of this computer)
    Thank you
    Chris

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Nokia 5800 v50 firmware update gone wrong

    Hey guys,
    I installed v50 firmware over the air. I had to uninstall some programs because the update complained of lack of space, so I uninstalled Ovi client and related software and some location aware thing that I don't remember the name.
    Then flashed the firmware... all went well, phone turned on.
    While on the home screen after some seconds I got a message saying that something failed to install (it didn't say what). I still was able to use my phone however, now the camera software doesn't work.
    Any tips ? Do I need to do a hard-reset on the phone and install firmware again ? And how can I do a hard-reset ?
    Thanks a lot!

    Yes, since there is a space problem a hard reset would be a good option before reinstalling. Remember that it deletes everything so make sure you have a backup.
    A hard reset (x6, 5800 and 5230 only) is done by the following (warning, this deletes all data on your phone):
    1.) Turn off the phone and remove battery for 5min
    2.) Reinsert battery
    3.) Press and hold the green, red and camera buttons. DO NOT LET GO.
    4.) While holding the three buttons, press the power key to boot the phone up.
    5.) Keep on pressing until you see the country selection screen.
    A correctly done hard reset would show you that everything on the phone (contacts, messages, calendar entries, etc) would be deleted. So it is advisable to back them up. Upon restoration, do not restore settings or files if possible.

  • IOS8 update gone wrong

    Could do with some help please. While updating my phone to ios8 my laptop decided to shut down (got a dodgy battery and didn't realise the cable had fallen out). When I got back in to itunes my phone had the connect to itunes picture and when I do try and connect itunes just says "The iphone software server could not be contacted", and my phone isn't showing up to access.
    Tried resetting both phone and laptop and nothing so far. At the moment I cant access my phone either through itunes or the phone itself. Any advice greatly appreciated!

    Hi wbabbington,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there may be an issue with iTunes contacting the iPhone software update server from your computer. The article linked below provides a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions that will resolve most of the configuration issues that can prevent iTunes from communicating with the update servers.
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes can't contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    I hope this helps.

  • IOS update interrupted TWICE - help please!

    Guys I need help please.
    My internet connection is really bad. Last night, my iOS 6 update was 8 minutes from completion and my internet cut out, and about 5 minutes ago, my internet cut out again while my download was like 400 MB through.
    Every time my internet cuts out, it completely restarts the download.
    Is there any way I can find the downloads and start off from where they stopped?
    Any help greatly appreciated!!

    One option would be to manually download the *.ipsw files from  another computer with a better connection and then install the IPSW from the first computer.  I actually prefer this method, even in an environment like my work one where we have lots of bandwidth.  It seems to be more reliable.  If you have plenty of bandwidth you can download the *.ipsw files pretty quickly.  At work I downloaded the 983 mb file in just over 2 minutes..so maybe try a public Internet place.  Just do a search on ipsw download for iOS 6.

    Boot into recovery mode, launch Disk Utility and wipe the HD. Quit DU and restore the OS. On first boot, migrate properly, using the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

  • Firmware update has gone wrong - help!

    I downloaded the firmware update from Software Update and then installed as directed. My MacBook restarted and I heard the "bong" but now nothing is happening. The screen is black - not dead because the backlight seems to be on.
    I've never had a problem with a software update and now I don't know what to do.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    I've had this problem, too, when I got my MacBook back from repair (heatsink and logic board replaced). I'd hear the starting chime, the screen would go grey- not as bright as when I'd get to the apple logo before the blue login screen comes up, but not as dark as when it's turned off.
    Do the following:
    Restart PRAM:
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    6. Release the keys.
    If this doesn't work, try a PMU restart first http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319 and then a PRAM restart.
    Once you've booted into Mac OS X, go into the power management menu (you can get there via the battery/plug symbol on the top right side of your screen). Once you're in the menu, customize by turning off the option that the screen dims automatically after some time in order to save energy (do this for both profiles when it's running on battery and when it's plugged in). Try a restart, your computer should boot as usual. It seems the macbook turns down brightness to zero when it's booting, so you never get to the login screen, it just stays dark grey. If you turn off the dimming option it should work just fine. Strangely just using the keys that control brightness doesn't work.
    I am sorry, I don't have my mac at hand right now, so I can't look up the exact words in the menu, but I hope this helps.

  • HT1338 my mac needs updating-currently 10.5.8, but when i click on software update and it searches it says there are no software updates? any help please

    I updated my iphone to IOS 6 which means i also need to update my itunes. When i tried to do this it said I need to update software but when I click on software update, it searches and then says no updates available. Can anyone help me please? thankyou very much

    10.5.8 is the final version of Leopard. After that you need a paid-for upgrade to Snow Leopard - if your Mac can run it:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
