Understand Error Message Types
Several types of errors can occur while the phone is booting. If an error occurs, the phone will inform you
by displaying an error message. Errors can affect how the phone boots up. If the error is fatal, the phone
will not be able to boot until the error is resolved. If the error is recoverable, the phone will continue to
boot but the phone's configuration may change.
