francis247: Thanks a lot for your response. Had already lost hope but finally downloaded it at normal speed using Opera Beta. That browser is something else. It was showing 606 instead of 578mb. Once again, thanks a million for the support. Upgrade successful. Now on JB 4.1.2.

Good to know! Cheers mate! cheesy

Copy all ur data in internal memory to ur computer and factory reset the phone.. This is the quickest fix i can suggest.

Note: This will wipe everything on the phone.

Are you kidding me?! shocked Look for it, its somewhere in settings, if you have older firmware, under security or backup. Can't remember Gingerbread's UI.

For the screenshot. The power button switches off the phone at once without any option. Power + home button doesn't work.

Dude! These phones are sharing the connection as Adhoc and not AccessPoint (AP) if you can connect to regular WiFi routers then you are fine.
And why do people keep calling me STANELY?!!! MY NAME IS STANLEY!

Maybe you need busybox, i don't know.. Try installing busybox, open it and click install also, then reboot phone..
