N900 PR1.2 Help!!
 

Hi everyone,

So today morning i downloaded the new PR 1.2 OTA by going to my apps and downloading it. It downloaded fine and when the phone switched off and restarted the NOKIA logo came up and it said

"Installing software update.
Please do not interrupt"

the status bar showed it doing something with the percentage bar going up to 50% then it shut down and now when ever the phone turns back on its stuck on - "Installing software update.
Please do not interrupt". Please advise me on what i should do?

I also created a backup on my internal storage and on my memory card before i updated - Will this backup have all my contacts? Please help!!!

The back up will have all your contacts. How long has this been going on? Did you interrupt the installation process?

No i did not interrupt the installation process. When the phone switched off after the automatic restart i left it for an hour letting it do its thing but nothing happened. So i pressed the power on button and thats when this started happening.

Hmm i had NSU screw up my nokia firmware,

Strangely enough i was lucky enough and it didnt brick,

But what i did was remove the battery, and hold power for 30 seconds.

Have a look at my posts here (same issue - sort of - but I had added trouble with custom kernel:

I had to reflash the device (just rootfs re-flash NOT eMMC)

Backup should restore everything, but if you just reflash the OS your contacts etc should still be there, just restore the backup you made once you are done re-flashing and re-install your apps.

Guide to re-flashing is here:

Just follow the instructions for reflashing rootfs and everything should be fine :)
