MS security update reboots my PC! - Windows Phone 7 General

New MS update first of all was giving me an error after backup - now two days later I tried again and now it REBOOTS my pc just after the backup! Or rather it crashes my pc which then reboots (almost like a power loss reboot!!).
I tried the Phone support tool - but that just says it cant update my phone and says to contact tech support! GRRRR
It's and HD7 - originally got NoDo via Chevron - then got NoDo notification again - updated fine - updated the HTC update OK, but this latest MS security update is being a right pain!

Has no one else had this?

first time i tried it my pc got rebooted, but it went ok in the 2nd try.

Thanks, glad i wasn't the only one!

2.29.405.2 update bugfest - any way to roll back?

Did the 2.29.405.2 update OTA initially and noticed problems. So reinstalled it from SD card but no help.
Bought sim free, unbranded/locked and never rooted:
Cannot dial out from phone lists or contacts. Going to phone and clicking on an entry in the call list does not launch phone call any more. Going to contacts, opening one and clicking on an available phone number does not launch phone any more.
The only way I can make a call is to punch it in on the keypad! Grrr.
Wifi connects to my home base after a reboot but, after an undetermined amount of time it drops the connection and cannot get it again. Going to Wifi settings shows it scans, connects and tries to obtain IP address. After a short time it gives up, turns wifi off and starts over. Again & again.
Cannot get it to connect again without another reboot.
This is a crippling loss of functionality for me. Can anyone suggest a way to roll back this update so my phone works as id did?
Many thanks all,
M1
First try a hard rest(you will lose all personal data on the phone,pictures and other stuff on the SD will be fine). If that does not work try either the 2.29.405.2 or 2.10.405.2 RUU.
More info - to my horror, around 15 minutes after I had tried and failed to make calls from contacts the phone started making them one after the other as if they were stuck in a spool or something! Ouch - any thoughts?
Backup everything you can and flash the same ruu from shipped roms.

where do I find this? - android noob!

And if it works, keep it safe!

Thanks to all for help on this. Decided worth a trouble shoot before a hard reset and culprit seems to have been an app - extended controls widget. Removed this and all seems well again.
Try this one. This definately works! i have used it.

I was stuck at 2.29 update.
Then i used this guide and windows tool.
So i did this process and it rolled my phone back to stock android 2.1 rom 1.X
The first version that the phone was bought with.
This tool will boot the phone into bootloader and load a stock 1.x rom ota off the sd card as the tool will extract it to sd card and then load it.
This will wipe all your data not sure about the sd card as i dont remember any of that because i formatted my sd card after i had used the tool.
Thats because i had rooted my phone and tried custom sense hd rom.
The only reason i had was of the battery usage as the consumption was very badly increased and that the 2.29 rom was unstable.
PS: I did first try the htc service in Denmark. They couldn't help me and said i was stuck with the 2.29 rom update. :/
After my phone got rolled/flashed back to stock android 2.1.
The next day in the morning i could upgrade again to android 2.2 rom ver. 2.10 OTA from htc servers.
Maybe this works for you as i did for me and others.
Turns out it wasn't the app.
After a couple of days playing ok my sim free stock htc desire is unstable again.
Cut me off mid call - went to phone and clicked on last call entry - absolutely nothing happened, repeated with same problem. Exited phone to home screen then opened contacts and tried to make call from there - same behavior, a complete hang.
No web access either so opened wifi manager to find it hanging on "obtaining IP address" from my home network and continually shutting down and restarting wifi automatically at this stage.
Noticed general UI lag and several apps failing to open too.
Left phone alone and again, around 10 minutes later all of the actions - including trying to make the phone calls started running one after the other. Like everything had been caught in a spool or something. After this all seemed OK until it happened all over again later.
Although the UI seemed OK and some apps worked as expected, the only way to get phone and wifi working whilst it was hung was a warm boot.
Dreading a hard reset as it's going to waste another day or two getting everything reconfigured just so (can't find a back up solution that does everything - multiple mail account settings etc) but looks like only option.
Will try going back to mikep99's suggested rom as soon as I have time and will not be responding to an HTC OTA auto update offer again.
Grrr.
I still suspect an app conflict.
Can anyone recommend a util that might give me a clue which app / sys process could be hogging system / radio resources?
just got another OTA update pushed to me. installed (nothing to loose) and Congratulations my phone has been updated to 2.29.405.5.
Not sure whats going on here as that was the update I got 2 days ago. This time round it was only 4.8mb download so I'm assuming it's an update update. Hope it fixes things .....

[Q] False Alarm; Problem during Nodo update

Tonight i saw the workaround to unlock Nodo, and i decided to do it, but now at the second update it freezed.
I flashed back to a 7004 build rom, then i installed the pre nodo with Zune like normal, with the Nodo it didn't come up by itself.
So i forced it with the Hungarian IP workaround thingie. It worked and i could see Nodo. Backup and so on worked out fine, but when it came to "Installing Updates" it stopped at the near end.
Now i have been looking at the Zune updater at that step for about an hour, and i dont think it will change.
I'll leave it in for now and the rest of the night, but what can i do?
Start over?
Update:
FALSE ALARM
It apparently just took an hour for Zune to install a little update.
The first time i update to Nodo, it took 20 minutes :S.
Was just about to unplug the phone, when it finished.

[Q] Is there a new update?

Hi all. At 4:20 AM PDT (the notification sys 8:20AM for some reason) this morning (June 12) my Note 4 buzzed and woke up and let me know there was a software update available. Any idea what this is?
I didn't install the small security update last month yet, is this just that update trying to be more forceful (the notification will not go away)? Or is it a new update?
Try it, and let us know what it is !
I didn't install last month's security update myself for the fear of losing that slim chance of an unlocked bootloader and root..lol
I haven't received a notification about an update this month..would you happen to have a description of the update?
Well, the notification wasn't going away and I accidentally hit continue and it rebooted and installed whatever it was.
Took it's sweet time installing and then optimizing apps, and as far as I'm aware nothing changed. Same baseband, same kernel, same build number (LMY47X.N910AUCU2DOI3) according to About Device.
Also my phone is starting to show me the same annoying screen that started appearing when the security update came out saying to connect to wifi to download another update (whatever update was installed today, it downloaded itself via mobile, not wifi).
So I am rather confused as to what the 'update' I installed was.

Got stuck while downloading a system update what to do

I am using a OnePlus 3 and while downloading a system update (Oxygen OS 4.0.1) it got stuck at 73%. In order to get the update I changed the VPN to Canada, as I got the update I started to download it but as the VPN was changed the downloading speed was slow so I changed the VPN in between the downloading without pausing and it got stuck.
Please help and suggest how to continue the downloading.
Thanks.
Connect to VPN to detect the update, begin the download, then pause it, close the VPN and connect to your wifi modem, then resume the download.
I just got my new OnePlus 3t a few days ago with no modifications. Today, when it prompted me for the newest software update, I downloaded it and now it's stuck on the update. When I hold the power button down and reboot it it just tells me "Updating, please wait" and the progress bar hasn't moved at all since last time. Does anyone have a fix?
i reckon you have not downloaded the update properly, Try downloading it again make sure you are running stock recovery no modification. hope it helps

Reach oneplus service center for assistance if your device isn't booting at all. They'll re-flash the whole stock image again back on to the device and possibly fix if there is any issue with the internal storage.

TA-1043 Android 8.1 Oreo update issue

Folks,
I'm facing an issue with my new Nokia 6.1 Smartphone. After unboxing and during the first start and intial setup it attempted to perform an update. However, this failed after downloading the content (via WIFI) with the error message "couldn't update phone - Installation problem". Afterwards I performed the initial setup offline as there was no possibilty to skip the update whilst connected to WIFI. This worked out and I was able to finish the intial setup to get access to the OS. I re-connected to WIFI and forced the update via settings -> system etc. Unfortunately, same result but a bit more information - Android 8.1 Oreo update (V2.13B) update size 804MB. Today I tried again and appearently a new OTA update has been released - Android 8.1 Oreo update (V2.22A) - slight hope that my issue is fixed with this release, but same isse again!
I tired also hard reset via recovery console. No luck....
I can't rule out a general issue with the phone but would like to explore other options before I return it.
Any suggestions or similar experiences?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue while updating to the May Security Patch. All you need to do is connect your phone to the power source and then update using wifi only, keep your phone connected to the power source throughout the whole update process. No error will occur.
