BlackBerry® Curve™

[m441]

Hello everyone,

First of all, please excuse me for any spelling mistakes as I'm not a native english speaker.

I'd need your help to sort out a pretty big problem I have had with my Curve 9360 since yesterday night. 

I decided to update the software but unfortunately, the process stopped at 12%. I thought it might finish during the night so I let do its thing. When I woke up this morning, I noticed that the update was still stuck at 12%, so I decided to pull out the battery. I switched it on again and this time it is stuck at 8%... Moreover, I don't know if it is important but I noticed that I didn't have any network...

What should I do for the update to finish OR at least, to get my phone back in proper working mode?

Thanks very much for your help
