Blackberry Issues – Software Update Hanging, How To solve It

for help on his Blackberry Bold 5 device; I was curious to know what actually
happened and he said, when he attempted to upgrade his  device software, the BB just stopped at 16% back
–up for over three hours. He said he remove the battery and inserted it again,
