While Microsoft is said to be working on a fix for this issue, users are advised to hold off updating until a solution is available.
Those who have updated and had their devices bricked, can follow our step-by-step guide on how to fix your bricked Windows Phone 7 device.
- Connect your WP7 handset to a power source – NOT YOUR COMPUTER.
- Turn the phone off.
- Now turn the phone back on by pressing and holding the power, camera and volume up/down rocker and KEEP HOLDING even when you are asked if you want to format the SD card.
- Release the three buttons once you see the phone enter ‘download mode’.
- Now your phone will re-download and install the OS over the air. Leave the phone and if after 15 minutes it hasn't restarted on its own, force a restart.
- Set up your phone as if it was new, re-sync and re-update.
