Server unavailable

[Market1233]

I've tried updating my fascinate at least 20 times now, keep getting Code: 500 server unavailable. Tried factory reset, *228 and 1 but nothing seems to work. Even went to a Verizon store and they didn't help me at all, just said wait for the an update when it's ready. 

My service is fine where I live, so it's not that.

I had exact same problem on 1 of my 3 Fascinates.

Fix was the following:

Call cust service. Tell them you're having a problem with your phone and please

transfer you to tech support.

Tell tech support the problem. 

Tell them according to the Verizon Wireless community forums, this is a probable fix.

Have them 'remove/drop' your phone from their network. They'll need the MEID for this under the battery.

Then have them add your phone back to their network.  Should take all of a couple minutes, tops.

Once they've readded it.    Call  *228 and do option '1' to activate your phone.

Then  try the update again. Odds are the updates will now work.

This has fixed this exact problem for a lot of people. 

FYI.   Latest version is ED04.   Menu...Settings...About phone.  look at baseband or build number.

good luck.
