After update: Orange sunset screen and nothing else.

[Guest sticky]

The update seemed to go OK - three times in fact - but after reset, the phone powers up and just sits at the sunset screen. Anyone else seen this or experiences a delay like this?

[Guest Firaas]

There should be a delay, try leaving it for several minutes (15 perhaps?).

[Guest sticky]

it's been going an hour :-( i suppose i'll just leave it overnight.

[Guest Chris b.a.r.f.]

An hour's too long, I think. Mine's occasionally taken 20-odd minutes, never longer...

[Guest sticky]

Sigh. Well in the morning, it's the same. Add another hosed phone to the list.

Did you try pulling the battery and rebooting?

Failing that try runningthe update again...

[Guest sticky]

Yes, thanks. Removed the battery, reapplied the update, used the boot menu to delete the IPSM, re-reapplied the update. Nothing makes a difference. Ah well.

Make sure the SIM-card's properly seated - mine stuck at the Orange sunrise screen this afternoon so I took my prehistoric SIM-card out (it's *6* years old, maybe more, I'm amazed it works with the SPV) and cleaned the contacts (both SIM & phone). Popped the bugger back in, et voilà, proper boot again. Old SIM cards are the root of many evils :)

Probably not the solution, but any port in a storm eh?

Good ideas - but I've tried my Sim (cleaned), no Sim, and the Sim from a differnet phone. Nothing works. I've a few people I know in various places that might be able to help, so I'll bug them next. Living in the US, it's a little tricky to visit my local Orange store.
