Re: nokia n900 stuck on 'installing software update. please do not interrupt'
 

I think the download was done during the time you were inside the maemo
and now you are only installing. but I am sure that there is something wrong you have did. try removing the battery. Maybe this will help you get out of this update.

Re: nokia n900 stuck on 'installing software update. please do not interrupt'
 

i have tried removing batter, it starts up and gives me same message repeatedly. I have removed battery and sim and its done the same.

this is a fantastic phone its working properly.

am about to look into reflashing it.

Re: nokia n900 stuck on 'installing software update. please do not interrupt'
 

will it reflash if it didn't enter maemo?

Re: nokia n900 stuck on 'installing software update. please do not interrupt'
 

I'm with this problem righ now. What did you do? Just wait? For how long?

Re: nokia n900 stuck on 'installing software update. please do not interrupt'
 

Is this from any Nokia PC software, or do you use the built-in Hildon Application Manager (HAM)? Did you think about flashing the newest firmware instead of software update?

Re: nokia n900 stuck on 'installing software update. please do not interrupt'
 

The N900 frozen and I rebooted it via power button. When it started to boot, the messenge "Installing software update" appeared and frozen in 4%. It's in this state already. I did not make any attempt to update the phone. It just wanted to...

Update: now the N900 responds to nothing.

Re: nokia n900 stuck on 'installing software update. please do not interrupt'
 

My phone was stuck on the same thing for 5-6 days

Installing Software update
please do not interrupt

wat i finally did to get out of this mess.
1started my phone. it wen into the same thing
2 connected it to my pc via USB
3 Ctrl + C and held it for 5 secs
4 the system automatically restarted and loaded back like normal.

Re: nokia n900 stuck on 'installing software update. please do not interrupt'
 

My N900 had the same problem for a few days - "Installing software update. Please do not interrupt. 5%".
Then I did what described K_115 and my phone came to life.
Thank you!
