Hi,

The "Unable to find bootable option" is comparable to a defective hard drive in a computer: It will still do the initial start-up and then be unable to do any more. The recovery tool still recognizes the phone when connected, but is unable to install the operating system in the phone when it comes to that. Again comparable to booting a PC on the install DVD and then be unable to complete the install.

The phone needs mechanical repair. If it is out of warranty, then is is also beyond economical repair, unfortunately.

If it is still in warranty, then please consult the point of sale.

Hans

The only solution for this hardware fault is repair at an authorised facility. It is explained in message 28 of this thread and in all other threads with the same subject. What other help do you expect to receive here - as clearly physical repairs cannot yet be done remotely or with the power of the mind only ?

Support in this community does not include discussion of DIY repairs. The only thing I can recommend is taking the handset to an authorised Nokia Care facility to have it checked and repaired. Repair support is available after 12 months (if that is the length of the warranty in your region), it's just no longer free unfortunately - same as with any other equipment from any manufacturer.
