Troubleshooting for Nokia products

In order to buy or install applications from Windows Phone 7 Marketplace you must be signed in and have completed the account setup process. During account setup, the Microsoft account (formerly known as Windows Live ID) used at sign in is associated with a unique user ID. This user ID is where all purchase history and related information is stored.

Account setup includes selecting the country/region of your Marketplace account, entering your Date of Birth, and accepting the Marketplace Terms of Use. If you have an existing Xbox LIVE or Zune subscription tied to your Microsoft account, then you already have a user ID associated to your account. If not, a user ID will be created during the setup process.

The country/region of your account, which is also called the "locale," determines which regional Marketplace you see on the phone and windowsphone.com.

IMPORTANT It is very important to choose the proper Microsoft account and country/region during account setup. Once a locale is chosen it is permanent cannot be changed.

Stuck at OEM splash screen

During the phone startup sequence, a series of splash screens are displayed for the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), mobile operator, and for Windows Phone.

If your phone seems to be stuck at the OEM splash screen, you may have disconnected your phone during an update before it successfully completed.

You will have to put your phone in download mode to restore your phone from backup and then retry the update.

To restore your phone by putting it into download mode:

1.	Turn off your phone. Note If your phone is currently stuck at the OEM splash screen, you may have to remove the battery to turn it off.
2.	Disconnect your phone from the USB cable.
3.	Hold down the camera button.
4.	Continue holding down the camera button and connect the USB cable between your phone and your computer.
5.	Continue holding down the camera button until the connect-to-computer mode screen appears.
6.	Release the camera button.
7.	If it is not already running, start the Zune software on the computer.
8.	The Zune software should automatically prompt you to restore your phone.

After you complete the restore process, you can then retry the phone update.

Important When retrying the phone update, make sure that you let all steps of the update to complete before disconnecting your phone from the computer. Some steps of the update process can take a long time to fully complete.
