Error while Upgrading from NMS 2.5.0.420

rhellier · October 20, 2012, 1:17am

After constantly being prompted every day to upgrade to NMS 3, I have proceeded to download from the play store and install.

When I open NMS 3 I get the following error message:

Data transfer error

Data transfer error while migrating data from the previous version of Norton Mobile Security.

Please Try Again

Retry Quit

I have tried over and over always with the same result.

The device I am currently working on is a SAmsung Galaxy

NMS 2.5.0.420 and Antitheft plugin 1.5.0.264

Any ideas????

After spending 1.5 hours with livesupport the problem is solved. In case anyone else has this problem the process is:

First, remove the product from the mobile device (all versions of nms and the anti theft plug in)

Then open this website www.norton.com/nms in your browser

Download and install the file (NortonMobileSecurity-102.apk)

Now click on menu and run live update

Click on Menu and select about and check the version of Norton (V2.5.0.420)

Now restart the mobile device

Now open Norton Mobile Security and select set up anti theft

Download and install Norton Anti theft plugin

Now run live update in Norton Mobile Security

Wait for few minutes until you receive the option to update to the latest version

Click on the message, follow the directions to install NMSv3 from Goggle Play Store

Click Install and agree to any changes

When NMSv3 starts click on Agree & Launch

you will see a messagage about data being transferred and then asked to uninstall the previous version.

Click on Uninstall, then follow through all of the prompts to remove the previous version

You will be returned to the first screen and need to click on Agree & Launch button

Now you will see the title page, swipe across the screen to register

You need to enter email and password details for your Norton account or create a Norton Account to register the device.

You will be asked to name the device, this must be a unique name.

Finally you will see the main screen with your subscription expiry date

Yes a pretty complex upgrade process.
