App Error 523

Hey Folks,
Im in a bit of a bother. 3 weeks ago, i went to goa for a few days off. I had switched off my phone, and when i landed, i turned it on in order to call the hotel. When i did turn it on, i got this white screen which simply said "app error 523" and gave me only one option, to reset. When i did reset the phone, it came back to the same screen, and now......thats all my blackberry does. Its a 8520 by the way. I cant put in my SIM PIN, i cant make a call, i cant plug it into a computer, i cant do anything with it basically. Its just dead.
SO!!! Since it is still under warranty, i gave it to Jumbo Electronics, hoping theyd be able to fix it up for me. I have specifically asked them to keep my data, because i have business contacts that are vital to my work on there. Now, Jumbo called me up, and said they cant make my phone functional, without reformatting the entire device, and losing all of my data.
Now, no offence to Jumbo, but i doubt they have the proper expertise to deal with this. As far as i can see, they are just plugging it into a PC and reformatting it like anyone could do.
Which is why i turn to you guys. Is there any way, any at all, that i can keep my data and use my phone ever again??
I havent ever backed it up, not that i would remember doing it, but i doubt i have. Is there any way i can fix this up??
Please please please help me out, im so sick of this. I did nothing wrong whatsoever, and now im losing time, and money i could have been making, as well as a constant headache.
Appreciate all your suggestions and responses.
Thanks and Cheers,
Gaurav

Hi
If you have never done a back-up of your device, then you will lose all your personal settings, contacts etc. Reformatting basically means reloading the software which will completely wipe out the data.
The ONLY possibility is that you have connected to the PC using the Desktop manager or Software and did inadvertantly do a back-up. If you never connected them don't bother trying to find the file, if you did it has the extension .ipd and so is easy to find in a search.
Otherwise the Jumbo guys are quite right. Sorry.

APP ERROR 523 please help!!!

Can someone please help me!! my blackberry loads and then gets to a white screen saying app error 523 and then turns off can anyone help me fix this via a mac computer?

If you don't know the password you're going to lose the data on the device anyway. I'd do the following:
1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
2. Download the OS file from step 1 to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
3. 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. 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

HELP!!! app error 523

I am so bummed. Curve 8330, the hourglass had been hanging more and more. Have used the "control-al t-delete" to reset. Well it has finally gotten to the point that the hourglass is constant. I can't do anything, resetting doesn't fix it. Now I have a white screen with "app error 523" and reset option. Reset doesn't work. I've tried to do what I found on the main blackberry site to reinstall my operating system, but my computer doesn't even recognize my device and won't connect. I am at a total loss as to what to do. Does anyone know how I can fix this thing? I'm so upset as this is my only phone and its not even 2 years old.

There are some instances where (due to the nature of the error) your pin does not display in desktop manager. Try and reload via application loader, or you can click on the "PIN" link and see if you can manually find the PIN. IF not. With it connected, go into 'My computer' and see if it is listed in 'Devices with removable storage'. If it is not there either, it could be a driver issue.

Hey Esskaimal,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Have a look at the following article on how to force the detection of the BlackBerry® smartphone using Application Loader to reload the OS http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10144
If the error message still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
Thank you.

App error 523 message plz

what should I do ?

I tried to connect the phone with the laptop but no respond??

After you have completed what is in the prior message, you can proceed with attempting to recover:
KB11816 Error "523 app.error.Reset" appears on the BlackBerry smartphone
BTW -- steel yourself for the fact that it is likely that all of your data on your BB is already lost...but you might get lucky...you won't know until you complete the steps in the prior post. But in all likelihood all is lost and your recovery will be via the steps in this post and linked KB. If you happen to have ever taken a backup of your device, then you can recover to that point using this procedure:
KB10339 How to restore data from a backup file to a BlackBerry smartphone
You might have to search your entire hard drive for files with an IPD extension (*.IPD). When you find any, check the date/time of the files...the most recent one is your best candidate for restoring from.
If you have been syncing your BB with your desktop PIM (e.g., Outlook), then all of your data is there and you will be able to re-synch after you've reinstalled your device OS.
If you have no backup and no desktop PIM, then all is lost.
Best.

App Error 523 - Multiple incidents! Please Help!

I have an 8330 on Verizon and about 2 weeks ago, I received the "app error: 523". I tried remove applications and rebooting it but none of it worked because i couldn't to the phone. I couldn't even back up my data and contacts. I was forced to enter the password incorrectly and wipe everything off my phone. I then reinstalled the OS and everything was fine. I just recently started to get my contacts and everything back but when I rebooted it tonight, I received message again. This is very frustrating! I dont have many apps at all (Google maps, google talk, facebook, etc.) Can someone please give me some insight? Is this something I'm always going to have to deal with? Any help is greatly appreciated!

BB 8320 showing APP error 523. How do I back up data before installing new os

Help me pls I'm very desperate> my BB is just over 1 year old. Woke up to find the screen with APP ERRor 523 reset . I've tried all tricks in previous treads without success. Only thing left is to install new os. Trouble is that the BB is not backed up yet. How can I back it up before removing old os and installing a new os

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Sorry, but it is highly likely that your data is already lost...so there is nothing to backup now. This simply proves the point that there are two kinds of computing device users...those who have lost data...and those who will. Backups before things go wrong are simply not optional.
Good luck and let us know!

App Error 523 Reset

Will somebody please help with my BB Pearl 8110 by walking me through
the complete resolution to this problem?
It all began by turning itself on and off, on and off.
I checked for updates an began the update process to v 5?
Unfortunately it must've turned itself on and off, on and off causing
App Error 523 Reset.
I followed other advice like hard and soft reboots? and my BB began
Blinking 4 times then once repeatedly.
So after going through, what I thought were the correct steps to recover
I've once again returned to
App Error 523 Reset.
At this point all I want is my BlackBerry back. Forget any personal items
I once had. I'll start all over again.
Thanks a bunch for any help and if it helps I will surely post so.
Scott

Hello!
We are so sorry that you are having so many difficulties. While many experience the same (a search here will reveal that fact), there are also many who have very positive experiences with their BB. Not every device is suitable for everyone -- which IMHO is why there are so many choices.
FYI -- these forums are a user-to-user support channel, not a user-to-RIM conduit. As such, it is unfortunate that we all missed your post and did not provide any useful responses to you...but, we are volunteers and not paid RIM support folks...sometime we just miss things. But a perusal through these forums will I think show your experience to be abnormal (as far as helpfulness in these forums is concerned). But, yes, I am biased...I volunteer a lot of time here when I can.
For the benefit of others who search and find this thread, here is the relevant KB for resolving the 523 error:
KB11816 Error "523 app.error.Reset" appears on the BlackBerry smartphone
Good luck!

App Error 523- Nothing is working

Hello,
I have a Blackberry curve 8310. Nothing is working anymore on my phone. There is this error message : app error 523. When I try to reset, it take 3 minutes of "waiting" with nothing on the screen, until the same message reappear. I also try taking off the battery for 3 minutes and put it in again, still nothing with the same message. I was wondering what can I do, and if nothing work, where can I send to phone for reparation, and how much it will cost for this kind of problem.
Thank you,

Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
You have some offending third party application or theme on the device causing the error.
Option One: IF you know which third party application is causing the error, you can use the command line functions of JL_Cmder to remove the cod file from the device. That is a complicated method but the most simple if you know what to remove.
Optionos Two: Wipe the device totally with JL_Cmder and reload the Operating System fresh. You will lose ALL data on the device, so I hope you have a recent backup of the device.
Read this link for details:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_wipe_the_BlackBerry_using_Jl_Cmder%3F
Do you have a recent backup? Search your entire PC hard drive c: for any file "*.ipd" (disclude the quote marks).

"App Error 523" on White Screen

I have plugged my phone into the charger after it had fully ran out of battery, only to watch the handset turn on and inform me of 4 text messages and 20 missed calls seconds before the white screen with the messaged "App Error 523" appears.
After choosing to reset the same happens only the amount of missed calls has went up by 4. I have tried on various occasions throughout the day and it just keeps addin 4 calls each time before returning to the white screen.
I have searched the Forums already and do not use Desktop Manager, therefore have no current back up.
Can you suggest how I remedy this quickly without a full factory reset losing all the information as it is a works phone?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Neil

Ok, don't get ahead of me and do something you will regret first, like losing your contacts.
FIRST, make sure you have the Desktop Software installed, and backup.
Make sure the backup completes.
Watch where you save the backup file ("somename.ipd" will be the file format, most likely with today's date on it.
Once you are sure you have backed up, then you want to wipe the device and reload the operating system.
You will lose all third party applications, but those can be re-downloaded from the original source.
You will need to use BBSAK or JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_wipe_the_BlackBerry_using_Jl_Cmder%3F
