App Error 523 on 8800 WE

I'm having a major problem here. I was upgrading my Desk Manager and Device Software last night when I got the "App Error 523" message on my 8800 WE. I tried pulling battery out but it went right back to the error message. I tried connecting to the desk manager but it won't recognize the device so it gives me an error message saying that it cannot connect to the device.
Any help would be greately appreciated!
I just hope I didn't lose all the information that was on my blackberry.... I'm so dumb... I didn't do a back-up while upgrading!

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

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 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:

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:

Unique App Error 523 problem

I have a BB 8350i
I installed no new themes or applications and the device was sitting idle and locked. I pressed a button to check the screen and noticed it first told me "Uncaught Exception Index 37 >=37" and then goes to white screen with "App Error 523 / Reset" I tried removing battery, and pressing reset many, many times to no avail.
Now though, when it tries to boot up after reset, I hear my ringtone sound for incoming text message (same ringtone for BB messenger notification, and voicemail) and still goes through the same loop with the uncaught exception and ends ath the app error.
I've tried hooking the device up to my desktop manager but once the device gets into the error messages, my dm software says it can't connect and freezes..
I last performed a backup of my device about 2 weeks ago but I'd still really prefer not to have to wipe out my data.
Unless I'm mistaken, I understand that I can either wipe out the device somehow (don't know how) and start from scratch with my backup file and hope it works, or replace the device if I can.. ? Am I right and what is the best way to fix this?
I tried researching on my own on the internet but couldn't find any other reported problems combining the Index 37 error with the App Error.

Sometimes when you download stuff like themes, apps, even updates to yahoo msgr it causes that error code (someone told me its a corrupted file), I had it happen weeks after the update I did. I think BB App World even caused it for me once. I have about 200 phones and this comes up from time to time, if you get that message you have no choice but to wipe, re-install the software, and then use your backup to reset your info (I've tried avoiding it but you really can't). If you really didn't download anything or update anything then I'm not sure what caused it, I just know how to fix it.
I use JL_Cmder to wipe my devices and then hook the device up to BB desktop mgr and it will tell you that you need an update to your software and will install the newest version of your software for you, then you go back and do a restore.
Make sure your BB desktop mgr is the most current version. I don't know the link to get JL_Cmder, it's all over these forums and on the internet too if you do a search. If you don't like JL_Cmder try BBSAK. BTW, you found a great place for help, I've learned tons from the people here and now everyone at work and of course my friends think I know everything about BB...really I just come on here and do a search.
Happy Berrying!

2) On your PC, go to Start > Run, then copy and paste the following line exactly (that means 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 to your Blackberry. Hit 'Next' and 'Finish'. DO NOT disconnect anything and let the entire process finish completely (may take up to one hour).
NOTE: If you don't 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'll need to download Blackberry's Operating System for your particular carrier and device.

App Error 523 reset - Curve 8320

Hey there. My BB curve is showing the app error 523 reset screen over and over. I cant get it to do much. Every now and then when I do a battery reset it will eventually load the main screen on the phone and say something about exception 3 error...something like that then the app error 523 shows up... but for the most part everytime the phone comes on, within 15 seconds the app error 523 pops up and locks the phone up.
Now I have been reading online for the past day or so trying to troubleshoot the issue, and I've read where I have to load the desktop manager and either d/l the new O/S and/or delete any apps that might have caused the issue. My problem is I cannot get the phone to stay connected to the desktop manager long enough to do anything befor the app error 523 pops up and shuts the phone down again. I have tried taking the memory card out and doing it, also tried taking the sim card out, but that error 523 keeps showing up.
Does anybody else know of anything I can try with this phone? It's really starting to get annoying.
Thanks for any advice..

App Error 523 - Reset on 470_b059_multilanguage.exe - BB Desktop SW 4.7

I'm just upgraded to the 470_b059_multilanguage.exe BlackBerry Desktop SW 4.7 and, after step 9, on step 10 waiting for device comes again (can't remember the name of the step) on my device appears the "App Error 523", even after the battery pulled out. Please HELP me.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

installing desktop software does not reinstall software to your device. you shouldnt have even needed to have your device plugged in to install desktop software. you would have to install desktop maanger, plug your device in, install device software to windows, open desktop manager, use either the update option, or application loader option to install the device software to your BB.
and during this installation it went bad. and previous poster was correct... you need to reinstall
close DTM
goto control panel- add/remove progs
check for bbdesktop manager 4.7 and see if there is any other bb program installed... this will be your device software... im hoping its 4.5.x.x
dont uninstall anything here, just for informational purposes, close add/remove progs and control panel
open my computer and go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
open the program loader.exe
remove your battery.. and run the wizard, till its complete
you will get a multistage error, close wizard
put battery in and wait till it boots to a 507 error
run loader.exe again
