BB Curve 8900 need help urgently!!!!!

hey my blackberry 8900 rebooted but now it says "Reload Software:552" and no matter what buttons I press it just won't work, please tel me what to do I really need help urgently!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Before you do anything else:  Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Please let us know if that reboots the device properly or not.

    If is a fillable form, just tab to the next field. What we do not understand from you is IF it is a fillable form or not. If it is not, then the 3 options I gave can be used. Placing text is always a problem. You might find it useful to turn on the grid to help in placing your typewriter fields. However, if it is fillable you do not have to create any fields to type in, you just leave the tool as the hand tool and select the predefined fields with the cursor or the tab key and type accordingly. If the field is a checkbox, then you just use the space key to activate it.
    So, are we talking about a fillable form or something that has the appearance of a form, but not fields to fill in. This is what Bernd has been try to find out and you keep suggesting it is fillable as we read what you have said.

    Hi,
    I have been trying this technique for the past 4 days. It doesnt work no matter how i change the password at the link that u gave me. Even though it's being reset accordingly, i am still unable to log in the password at my mobile. i am 100% sure that i have entered the correct password at my mobile. ( verify blackberry id) . I want to setup new email accounts under "setup" . Upon me clicking " email accounts", it prompt for the one key password. I have never faced this issue before. I am very very sure that my password is correct. Pls advise as i need to add email accounts. Other programs are working fine without any password required being prompt. ie. blackberry world
    This is very very urgent to be resolved. Pls help.

  • Need help urgently with OS X and Windows 7

    I need help urgently.
    I installed Windows 7 on my macbook pro with OS X Lion. After installing Windows7, I accidently converted the basic volumes to dynamic volumes and now i can't even boot to OS X.
    Please help me how to recover my OS X Lion. If I have to delete Windows and bootcamp partitions, it is OK.
    I just want to get back my OS X bootable.
    Thanks

    Sorry
    I can't even see the OS X partition when I hold down the "Option" key.
    I could see OS X and Windows partitions if I hold down Option key before changing the partitions to Dynamic partitions from Basic in Windows 7.
    Now can't see OS X partiton and only see Winodws partition but when I tried to boot onto Windows7 , I got BSOD and macbook pro restart.
    Please help
    The usual reason for the OSX partition to be invisible under these circumstances is that it has been trashed by Windows.
    Do you have a backup?

  • Dead bb curve 8520 SOS need help urgently

    hi guys
    I am experiencing several major issues
    1) my phone had been resetting itself a lot lately without reason and randomly. I then downgraded the OS from 5 to 4 then it continued to do the same so I did the removal of the vendor.xml file in the folder of my win 64 bit computer then the blackberry desktop manager, the BBSAK and the computer cannot find my phone. All it does is flash the LED several times in red and wont even restart or show some evidence of life. I have tried everything please help urgently!!!!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
    Otherwise, please try this drastic method:

    One reason that I sometimes get 'NoSuchMethodError' is when I make a change to a
    java class that is imported into another java class. When I go to run the
    importing class, it will throw a 'NoSuchMethodError' on any methods that I've
    changed in the imported class. The solution is to recompile the importing class
    with the changed classes in the classpath.

  • My iphone4 cannot open on screen it show usb and itunes logo...needed help urgently thanks

    suddenly my phone cannot open on the screen it just show usb and itunes logo only... needed help and solutions urgently thanks a lot

    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed below for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • BB Desktop Manager no longer works with Mac Maverick - Need Help Urgently

    I have been a loyal Blackberry user since the Government of Canada officially began using these cell phones. I feel, however, abandoned by Blackberry (they obviously don't believe that it is easier to retain an existing customer than acquire a new one). I'm using a Blackberry Bold (9900) with a Macbook Pro. Everything was fine until I upgraded my Mac operating system to Maverick; my Blackberry Desktop Manager no longer works, so I cannot sync the content (contacts, calendar) of my phone with my Mac, but that's not the worst of it.
    I recently had a momentary lapse and exceeded the 10 password attempts to access my phone... this accidentally wiped my phone clean... and because Desktop Manager does not work with Mac, I do not have a way to recover my data. Rogers was of no help and had Blackberry updated its desktop software months ago, as it should have, this issue would have been moot. I do not know how or why, but I was able to recover most of my data, but I'm not sure just how up-to-date tha data is and am still going through it, but I'm having issues with some functionality.
    I'm in the US for several months and have suspended my Canadian services. Prior to the wipe, I was able to use wifi on my phone to send and receive emails with no problem.  After the wipe, I can't send emails or bbms.  I checked my blackberry internet service and all email accounts are good to go. BBMs are another issue.  I need help.  Suggestions please. 

    Apple has ceased synchronization with Mavericks. The issue lies with Apple, not with the desktop software. To mitigate the lack of sync capabilities in Mavericks you can sync your contacts and calender on your Mac with the usual suspects (Yahoo, Google). Create a backup (archive) for Contacts and Calender on your Mac first, then create one of those email accouonts that allow syncing. On your 9900 and with BlackBerry provisioning enabled create the new or existing email account. See which email accounts can sync with BB, I know Yahoo is working fine. For Yahoo, get the Yahoo Calender sync (a few bucks one-off payment required), Contacts sync works off the shelf within BB. If you reset the 9900 you should be able to restore all data with BB DTM. Please note that emails you received during the 9900 reset and the date of restore will not be available on the device. You will still not be able to sync contacts/calender over BB DTM. I hope that helps.

    Pray tell me where in teh server.xml/context.xml will you need to >configure a datasource for a simple bridge-driver program as is >obvious from teh stack trace? gcrashed,
    When a datasource is used, the connections are retrieved from the datasource. The datasource maintains a pool of connections which can be configured. Programs can retrieve the connections from the datasource and after usage, they are returned to the datasource. Since it is the server that maintains the datasource, properties like connection info, max number of connections etc have to be configured in the server.xml or context.xml
    And here is the relevant documentation in tomcat on how to set up a datasource - http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html
    Setting up a datasource in tomcat requires configuring them in server.xml (for global resources) or in context.xml (for a datasource resource local to your web application).
    Here is a thread which describes in detail the process of setting it up - http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=643344
    Now there are several issues setting up a tomcat datasource, especially for first time users. See the forum thread above for one such discussion.
    What configuration is required in tomcat when the stack trace so >clearly shows that he is using the sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver and >so obviously using a dsn name for his connection??????As I said earlier, you are missing the point. The OP is not trying to create a connection directly from his program. Or by datasource, he does not mean the microsoft user-dsn datasource that I think you are reffering to. Once again, please read the tomcat link above on what a jndi-jdbc datasource means
    Please give me the all 10 different issues that would produce the same stack trace.I was infact hoping somebody would ask. Just type the error stack trace in google, this forum or javaranch or theserverside.com and you would find tons of posts on setting up a jndi datasource and the issues people faced therein.
    that's the first and easiest suggestion to give. you don't need to give that suggestion here. Its an open forum. Nobody can tell anybody else on what he/she ought to post. If you dont like it, ignore it. But wait, that's an easy answer. And Iam not going to take that stand. I stick to my opinion that asking the OP to read the docs is still the best suggestion in the post. The OP's problems combined with his comments that the db is working fine suggest a serious lack of understanding of the way datasource and connection pooling works with tomcat.
    yes, if the problem is absolutely trivial like: how do i set up a connection using DriverManager - yes u can say - go read the docs. i can swear one can find the answers for half (or many more than that) problems posted in any forum in the documentation. but the fact is that many people do a fair amnount of hunting thru the docs and turn to a forum as a last resort. but they always miss something coz it's very natural. If you would search this forum and analyse duffy's or anybody else( who is a regular in this forum) previous posts, you would find that they have a pretty impeccable record of helping people with genuine problems when they know that the poster has taken some pains or effort to get it going by him/her self. They even hand hold people if the concept is a difficult one or if its one they find stiumlating/challenging.
    But this 'unable to set up a datsource' thinggy has been asked and answered a thousand times in this forum and many more in several other forums and all the OP had to do was just search. To be fair, the OP may not have been aware of this fact as he is coming up against this the first time, which's why I maintain, read the docs or search the forum is a suggestion that ought to be taken seriously (rather than being thought of as rude or condescending).
    If my comments seemed harsh, i apologize.Make that two. Its not my intention either to brow-beat or be harsh. I am just explaining why I took duffy's side, case in point. No offence intended.
    cheers,
    ram.
