Yes. Plug it into your computer and restore it. Once it's in recovery mode, that's your only option.

HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! "An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists." appears while attempting to upgrade or install BlackBerry Device Software. upgrading my Z10 OS to 10.3 on both (link & web). but facing same problem again and again. plz help. internet speed is 1mbps and working fine.
I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
Good luck and let us know!

Problem downloading software for iPhone
Is anyone else finding it impossible to update iPhone software to 4.3.2 from 4.3.1? I keep getting the following message:
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. An unknown error occurred (12003). Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later".
iPad update performed without a hitch.
Perhaps the Genius Bar can perform the update for me?
Thank you!
RomanI had this same problem and solved it when I realized that the software upgrade download was about 600MB, but I had less free space available on the iPhone.
So I deleted some large music files to make space available, then started the upgrade again and it worked fine.
One caveat: since I had "Automatically fill free space with songs" checked in iTunes, under the iPhone "Music" tab, simply deleting songs from the iPhone's playlist did not clear up the space. Other songs got loaded to fill up the space. I had to uncheck "Automatically fill free space with songs" as well as delete songs in order to free up the space.
Hope this helps. -
Re-arranging apps for iPhone through iTunes does nothing
I've spent probably 30 minutes on two occasions with my phone hooked up to my MacBook Air rearranging apps only to find that hitting sync does nothing. In fact, it just resets everything I did in iTunes while doing nothing for my phone. I don't understand. It seems like a pretty simple task to complete. Plug the phone in, go to the apps section, re-arrange the screens, and done. But clearly this isn't working for me.
Am I missing something? Is this a bug/common?OK, so "approved" doesn't mean that the app is compatible with the current OS? Is "approved" only something that happens when the app is made available fir the first time. Then as the OS's are updated the apps may stop working or be very buggy andthey are still "approved"?
All apps are compatible with the current OS. If the developer for a music streaming app has not updated the app to make use of iOS4 API's in order for the app to run in the background, the app will not run in the background but the app will still work. All new app submittals and all app update submittals are reviewed and approved by Apple. An app update will not be available via the App store unless Apple has reviewed and approved the update. I don't know how much extensive testing is done since the majority of new app submittals and app update submittals are approved within a week.
In wich case "approved" doesn't really mean anything useful for the user right?
Wrong. See my previous answer.
It's basically a question of "luck" if an app downloaded from app store will actually work with my current OS in my iPhone right?
Wrong. See my previous answer.
"Approved" doesn't mean that available apps on App Store actually work? It only means that the app developer was allowed to use app store in the first place?
Wrong. This doesn't mean an app won't include ANY bugs. This ensures the app does what the developer says the apps does - what is included with the app's description. This also ensures an app does not include malware and does not make use of private iPhone API's. I don't know how much testing is done, but some testing is certainly done which can't be overly extensive since the overwhelming majority of apps and app update submittals are approved within a week. -
I'm just being cautious as I don't want any viruses on my phone. Thanks anyway x
Why?
As Steve says there aren't any available for iOS so what is making you so concerned?

Os version 7.1 error in downloading software for torch 9860
hi,
i need help on how i can successfully download the new version 7.1 for torch 9860. its always showing "an error occured while downloading software for your device". it's really **bleep** me off. please help me.
thanks in advanced.
peachytotHi and Welcome to the Community!
Given your short description, I cannot tell exactly the method you are attempting to use...there are several. OTA on the device? Direct with Desktop Software? USB connected using the RIM update website? Loader.exe? BBSAK? Some other method?
Nevertheless, I recommend this method. At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for each model. Please use those as reference as you proceed.
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Wont update message displays: An error has occured while downloading software .......
please help!!
Iam trying to update my playbook 16GB but each time i accept and try to apply the update i get a pop up in middle of screen saying:
An error has occured while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists.
now this is driving me insane no matter what i try it doesnt seem to manage to get past this step of the update!!
Has anybody got ANY tips or advice please!!Without knowing if you have received an update before it's difficult to be sure. The last update was feb 2013 so don't know why you need an update, unless it's a wipe or a repair.
Lets assume you live in the "western world" then try a friend's house or a free wifi spot to do the update. it's easy for playbook to get upset with router wifi settings.

While downloading software update for Itunes, got message saying detecting Ipad in recovery mode and telling us to restore Ipad to original settings, which we don't want to do. Also cannot turn on Ipad; shows Itunes symbol with connector. Help!
No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark. -

Error message saying iTunes doesn't include software for iPhone
I get an error message saying iTunes doesn't include the software for iPhone. It says to uninstall and re-install iTunes. I have done it twice and both times I get the same error.
There is an entire iPhone forum here
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=201
I don't have one - perhaps you will be better off there, where most will?
Best of luck! -
When i try to restore my ipod i recieve an error message saying that "problem downloading softwar for the ipod owner's ipod. error (-23) Please help i need to restore because my daughter somehow set a passcode lock on it and didnt know it and does not know passcode.
There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone (or another iOS device)
See the steps below for error codes 3000-3999.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
