Nokia 520 Stuck on "Checking for updates..."

[phstratton]

I registered my account and my Nokia 520 as a developer phone, but when I go to settings and check for update it just says "Checking for updates..." and never returns that it did or didn't find one. Any idea what's up?

You must download/install the app "preview for developers" from the store.
In that app you have to check "enable preview for developers" and tick on "done".
After that, your good to go and you can check your updates again.

I had done that already man. Worked great on my ATIV S Neo but not on my 520. Any ideas?

Soft reset?

 

[phstratton]

Yup, funny this is that when you use the power button to turn it off it sticks on "Goodbye".

I also performed a factory reset. Same problem.

Let the battery completely die and keep turning it on till it does nothing when you try.

Okay will do

Why not remove the battery instead?

But wait. Your other phone ?
Is that phone stil registered as a developersphone?
You can't have two unlocked devices on a free account.

Nope, 2 different accounts.

Personaly i dont think pulling the battery or soft reset would help here,
couse you already stated that you did a hardreset.

you got the procedure right?
Create a developers account ( with a other than your old one, because you otherwise lose the unlock on the other phone )
With that same account you'r logged in on and registered your 520
and you downloaded the developers preview app, and checked enable ( in the app ).

What can possible go wrong with that.
you already did it once with your older Phone
you are shure you logged in withe the same account, your created the developersacount with?

Yeah I setup a new account for the 520 as a developer the same way I did for my first phone. Downloaded the app and checked everything. Still just says checking for update.

I guess Nokia care might be your last hope

Anyways hopefully it will be fixed by itself... I know these things are really frustrating. But some technical problems happen in every phones man :/ Nothin to do...

Yeah I know. Honestly for an $80 dollar phone that I've had for about a year. If it blew up tomorrow, I've definitely gotten my money's worth.

Ok?, its a long haul....but maybe.
just a idea

Try to reflash with nokia care suit a fresh WP version, set it up ( i know... again ) and try it from there.
