    Try this first, before anything more complicated:
    See the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.
    First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • App error 205

    I have been having trouble geting emails through on my Blackberry Curve so did a reboot.  I now can't get past the app errr 205 screen.  Please help!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here is a KB that discusses that error:

    However, please see today's announcement regarding a service outage:

    Until this is sorted, troubleshooting your specific problem will likely be pointless.

  • S.O.S.!!!! Please help with App Error 205

    So yesterday, I was so excited about the release of the Mac Desktop manager. I installed it on my Mac, started running the updates for my 8330 and the usb connector fell out while updating. I re-inserted it but it did not continue the update. Now, my phone wont completely reboot, it just ends on a message: App Error 205 and a reset option. I hit the option and it just cycles back around to the error message after trying to re-boot. I have tried the battery pull trick. I have seen the threads concerning the PC app loader solution but nothing for MAC users. 
    PLEASE HELP!! I am out on the road right now and my Crackberry is my lifeline to my business and personal world.  
    Thank you for any support in helping resolve this issue. 

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Check out the kb article:  http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB17024&slic...
    Not sure this will help if you are "on the road" and don't have pc with you.  Perhaps another user will post another alternative for you as well.

  • App Error 205 again

    Hi,
    On updating the device software, my pc crashed (not related) but on trying to resume the update my BB gave an 'App Error 205' which does not reset. I've tried to restart the update process but now the Device Application Loader says my device cannot be detected! I've read earlier 205 error threads but nothing seems to work. All help greatly appreciated!

  • Nv4_disp.dll errors blue screen of death photoshop cs4 bridge

    Sometimes, when opening psd files from bridge in cs4 I am getting the Blue Screen of Death and a message stating the cause is nv4_disp.dll errors.   This started occurring a few days ago.
    Environment: XP Pro, nvidia 7900 GS video card, nvidia driver version 6.14.11.9038. [ 190.38].
    Anyone else experience this and has a solution?

    I bet you'll sudennly get this error without doing that to cause it soon aswell. I had a very similar problem with BSoD and Nvidia display drivers on 9800GTX GPU. It started just doing it one day completely out of the blue. Unfortinatly, i'm still not sure what caused it, but it seemed when looking around the web that it was in fact faulty drivers, but not necisarily the graphics card drivers, just a conflict with them for somthing trying to work with them.
    For me, i did everything under the sun and it worked.
    1. Get Spybot Search & Destroy, COMODO antivirus, Windows Live Onecare 30day free trial, and scan your system with each of them. Each one for me found soemthing new which was fairly unsettling.
    2. Re-install GPU drivers, re-install graphics tablet drivers if you have one, because that was thelast thing i had changed since i startd to get them, but it was a good few weeks afterwards, and it didn't fix it doing that anyway, but it may have helped somthing else work properly so just to be safe. Re-install anything you last installed, or remove it if you are willing.
    3. Disk defragment, Disk Cleanup, and run Clean Up Utilities. To help track down other problems, you can also download Regmon for windows made by microsoft: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896652.aspx you can see what your computer is douing in the registery. The other one to download is Filemon, which is the same thing but shows what your computer processes are doing. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896642.aspx
    Good luck, but presistence in not wanting to re-install windows will overcome it evertually

    In addition, if you think your battery is dead...
    Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the charging cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

    So please help me . I am tired of all this 
    *Sorry for poor english

    Without the Minidump Files to help us isolate the cause of the errors you are experiencing there is no way to provide assistance specific to your situation.
    One of the most common causes of errors are drivers. You have already mentioned that you have upgraded your graphics driver to the latest version provided by the manufacturer, updating other drivers like network, chipset, and storage controllers is a good
    next step. If no driver updates resolve your issue and you have already looked into security software as a possible cause, another direction to take would be to review your hardware for possible failures. You can diagnose your memory by
    entering “Diagnose your computer’s memory problems” at the start screen and selecting the result. You can also diagnose your storage devices by
    right clicking the storage device in File Explorer, selecting properties, and selecting Error Checking.

  • Stop Error / Blue Screen of Death... Please Help

    Hello,
    I have been having problems with my desktop computer ever since I Installed the BT Total Broadband software.
    I have seen a similar topic regarding the Stop error and BSOD,but the problem there appears to be with a wireless connection with a laptop. I, on the other hand, am using an ethernet cable connection with a desktop, so I am not sure if the fix will also work for me.
    The problem I have am having is that my computer frequently either resets or BSOD's, with an IRQ_Less_Or_Equal message. This usually occurs within minutes of any kind of internet navigation, and after it has occured once, the problem seems to persist, causing my computer to freeze during bootup, or crashing/resetting shortly after windows (eventually) loads successfully.
    Please help, this is driving me crazy!

    Thanx again for the replies guys, this is all very helpful!
    Firstly, Im running windows XP, SP3.
    Also, I have to admit the inside of my computer is quite dusty and could use a good clean.
    Finally, its interesting to note that although my computer has a habit of crashing/resetting/BSODing quite regularly during online activity, sometimes the system seems to stabilise, and will run perfectly well for hours at a time.
    However I have reached a point where the continual errors, and the resulting 100x crashes and windows failing to load has driven me to seek professional help (here, not a pyschiatrist )

  • Recovered from an app error 205 (!), but no longer have appworld on my phone so can't install facebook etc

    I have followed the link previously suggested (ID: KB10144) and have amazingly brought my phone back to life.  However although the desktop software says Blackberry appworld is installed, it is not on my phone.  Any help would be gratefully received.
    Thank you

    The 'open' button only show after you've installed it on your phone, the cloud symbol imdicates that the app is only in the cloud - if you tap on the cloud icon it should download onto your phone.

  • App error curve 8520

    Need urgent help with this please. A friend of mine also has a bb curve 8520 and recently she keeps getting the "App error 523".
    I've tried googling the problem and everywhere says to reset the o/s. While this is straightforward in theory, When I've tried to connect the device to the bb desktop, the phone loads up for about 5 seconds, and then the app screen appears.
    It even does this when I boot up the bb in safe mode. I'm getting frustrated now as I cant do anything with the bb desktop (as in re-install the o/s) when the app error message screen comes up.
    Any ideas please?

    If your BlackBerry stays powered off with a black screen, follow the instructions below. The only indication of life might be the blinking red LED light in the top corner. Nothing seems to wake it up and Desktop Manager doesn't recognize any device is connected.
    1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
    "c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
    3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
    4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
    5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
    NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
    Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

  • Orignaly App error 606...help

    Device info.
    Im with 3, however i did not receive the handset from them. Its a Blackberry torch 9810.
    I Assume it was/is running the newest OS, but at this time i cant turn the device on to check.
    My desktop software version is 7.1.0.37.
    Issue.
    My phone a couple of days ago was unexpectedly turned of. When i tried to turn the device back on, it took a long time getting half way through the OS booting loading screen, crashing and starting again. Eventually it got past the loading screen and showed me the app error 606 screen.  
    Now all the phone does when trying to boot up is get stuck in a loop of the blackberry loading screen, crashes after about 20 seconds, then starts again when the red light comes on. When attempting to connect to the computer using blackberry to usb wire, to reload the OS, it stays contended for about 20 seconds, the same time the phone keeps crashing. It just keep losing power, even though Ive been charing it for a while.
    Ive tried following Knowledge base  
    -KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
    -KB20371 BlackBerry Desktop Manager cannot communicate with the connected BlackBerry device
    I know i have to reload the OS, however first i need to make sure the blackberry stays connected. 
    In Knowledge base KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader i get stuck on the step where blackberry software can not communicate with the connected device, either click Retry, Update or Cancel, when i click update, then repair, it just says there are no updates available, and a form below where you can enter your email address. Does not repair the phone at all. Is it supposed to open the application loader? I think this is all to do with the fact the phone keeps switching on then off, when either charging or trying to connect to the computer.
    Might just be me being an **bleep**. But am i missing something? Ive read a million threads to do with the app error 606, Ive tried for about 2 days now to get a proper connection to the computer, or even just to see the app error screen again. Just always gets stuck on the black berry loading screen. 
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    No other ideas then. Just get a new phone.... 
    Have you tried wiping the device completely?  You can skip to step number 5 if you want and see if BBSAK will connect and wipe the device.  Then you'll need to come back to step number 3 (you can skip the backup since you can't make a backup at this point.)  Another trick is to remove the battery and attempt to connect to the device. 
    1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    2. It doesn't hurt to do a manual backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion and unplug BlackBerry. You can get BlackBerry Desktop Software here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    3. Download the OS file from step 1 to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Also check the following locations for vendor.xml files and delete any instances of the file:
    On Windows Vista/7 navigate to C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (Where "YOUR_USER" is your username)
    On Windows XP navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (Where "YOUR_USER" is your username)
    5. If you're simply updating the OS to a newer version skip this step. If doing a clean OS reload use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a complete backup) then after you get the error 507 (no OS installed) then proceed to next step.
    6. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader

  • Blue Screen of Death - Smax4pnp.exe app error

    When I boot my T61 I get the "Smax4pnp.exe app error"  and then later get the BSOD with Invalid_work_Queue_Item or no character string like the previous.
    I ran MS Security Essentials and it found two or three Trojans & removed them.
    Any idea what is causing this?  Is my sound card dead?

    A couple of  things to try:
    Run some other malware detector.  Malwarebytes (frree) has done a good job for me.  There are others.
    Go to device manager and uninstall your sound "card". Reboot and let the driver reinstall.  If it doesn't (or if the problem persists) download and install the latest driver and sound app.

  • Who knows how to fix iphone 5s blue screen of death and itunes error 4013?!

    Hi
    Last day, dec 14th, a blue screen of death appears on my iphone 5s, aparently because I was installing facebook app.
    After that, the iphone remains restarting over and over non stop, until the battery shutoff.
    I try to press home and power/sleep buttons for 10 secs, but stil continuous with the blue screen.
    After that, with battery charged, I tried to hold the home button and simultaneously connect to an usb cable (the cable is in perfect conditions) to start itunes.
    Its worked, but now, everytime shows an itunes message: error 4013, "the iphone cannot be restored".
    What can I do now?!
    Thanks

    Hi Tks777,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you see an "error 4013" when you try to restore your iPhone, try these troubleshooting steps:
    Error 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, and 4016
    After you perform each step, try to restore your device.
    Restart your computer.
    Disconnect all your USB devices from your computer and connect to another USB port.
    Use a different USB cable.
    Uninstall third-party security software.
    Try restoring using an alternate computer.
