I got error 523 on my Blackberry, unable to update software via laptop the computer can't see the phone
This 523 error locks out any phone use how can I get rid of this problem.
I have tried a reboot and error message still apears

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. Congrats! 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.
BlackBerry Device Operating System downloads: http://www.blackberryforums.com/blackberry-device-specific/
Just select the appropriate device 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.
IF the above does not work or help, You will need to use JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:
Download JL_Cmder http://www.blackberryforums.com/rim-software/18789-jl_cmder.html

  • Blackberry 8520 keeps repeatedly downloading the same email messages and facebook notifications

    My Blackberry 8520 has all of a sudden started downloading the same email addresses and facebook notifications, that I have already read, I tried deleting them totally and also deleted from my computer inbox, but it just downloaded the next lot in my inbox repeatedly instead.  Sometimes it says I have 50 unread messages, which is the same 7 or 8 messages over and over again, showing as unread. 
    I have rebooted device several times and don't know what else to do now, can anyone help please?
    Thanks very much

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Have you changed the settings for messages on your account on the providers website?
    (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
    If that's not it try the following:
    Go to options advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
    Press menu key, and select register now.
    You will get a verification message. Then go to email settings and send service books.
    I would suggest  logging into the carriers BIS site via PC if you can.
    You will get an email per account. Repeat the battery pull and see if the problem is
    resolved.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • Not able to use facebook on my blackberry 8520.

    Still no revert received regarding my earlier post. Not able to use facebook on my blackberry 8520.

    If you can access Facebook while on Wifi at home, but you are unable to access it while away running on your carrier's 2G network, I could phone your carrier.  You have already completed the Cellular Data troubleshooting for the iPhone, so any limitations keeping your from connecting to Facebook over cellular will have to be answered by your carrier.

  • Opening pdf file in Blackberry 8520 curve

    I am unable to open pdf file in my blackberry 8520 curve. Can anyone help me in this regards. The mobile does't have any pdf reader pre installed. Do we need to install software, if so please send me the link to download or the software itself.
    Thanks

    PDF files can be easily viewed as an attachment to an email.
    If you are wanting to view a PDF file downloaded to your Media Card, you will need a third party application, such as PDFtoGO, BeamReader or Repligo. Google will find any of those three for you.
    Good luck.

  • Application error with blackberry 8520 curve

    hello,
    i own a blackberry 8520 curve and i keep having the same problem with logging in into yahoo messenger.
    while i can log in from a PC or another phone, logging in from this phone seems impossible, regardless the account i try logging in with. after it displays the ''connecting to" message it pops this: "'internal error. please try again''.
    i tried reintroducing the internet connection settings; i reinstalled the application, i've put another SIM card into this phone and i've removed all the entries from my yahoo account's apps and website connections list  - and it keeps popping the error message
    i hope receiving an answer, 'cause it's been 4 days without getting to use the app.

  • Blackberry 8520 curve hangs, suddenly white screen comes and the only solution is to re-insert battery with power source on?

    My Blackberry 8520 curve suddenly hangs giving a white screen and when i restart it - the screen remains white. After i put it into charge - then only a successful start is done. So the only solution as of now i have - is whenever my blackberry hangs - i need to remove the battery - insert it again - and immediately put it into charging via USB/Electric-Power. Even if i re-insert the battery - the white screen comes - unless and until i put it into charging Earlier i was guessing - my battery was weak - but no such problem. pls advise.

    Hiya!
     Personally, I havent seen this so it may be isolated to your device.
     Your best bet for warranty is to call your carrier.
    It very well could be classified as physical damage and void your warranty. Or they may classify it as "manufacturer defect" and replace it.
    Its hard to say as carrier's policys are different

    Hi,

  • Hindi Language in Blackberry 8520 Curve

    Hi there,
    I am unable to see hindi posts/fonts on blackberry 8520 curve.
    Please assist me how to get this done.
    Regards

    Its a mere perception that Blackberry 8520 Version 5.xx doesn't support Hindi or Indic fonts.
    Visit the following url from your Blackberry handset having operating system version 5.0 and above, including old Blackberry device 8520
    http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23613317/A_HindiFont/hindifont4bb.jad
     dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23613317/A_HindiFont/hindifont4bb.jad
    Download hindifont4bb.jad file
    You can download the Indic font for Blackberry and install it. You will be able read and write Hindi characters on your handset.
    Please confirm if it works.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Shivshankar

    is that i dont know where can i download a non carrier os like the original one
    that came with my blackberry because im having problems and i want to restore
    this is the information ( Blackberry 8520 smartphone (EDGE, WIFI)
    v5.0.0.681 (Bundle 1168, Platform 5.2.0.67 )
    so i just bought it form a regular store and by the way i live in UAE
    So a little help would be greatfull
    and also it is non carrier and my sim card provider is ( du )

    Check the below mentioned steps for download and updating device OS. All OS are same all you need to follow deleting vendor.xml file.
    Updating or Reinstalling BlackBerry device OS
    Pr-requisite –
    BlackBerry Desktop Software (must be installed in your computer). You can get it latest one from this location BlackBerry Desktop Software
    BlackBerry Device OS version (which you intend to have in your device). You can get it from from here  and must be installed it in your computer

    Step #01:
    Back up your BlackBerry device data before you start any OS update/re-installation step
    Open the BlackBerry Desktop Software and select Backup and Restore.  On the next screen select Backup and perform a full backup of your device data. You may consider including on-board device data as well. Please take note where the backup file is located (by default it’s located in Documents folder).
    Step #02: If you intend to use an official OS release for your carrier then proceed with the following -
    Remove the battery from the back of the BlackBerry smartphone
    Connect BlackBerry smartphone to the computer using a USB cable
    Once prompted to Retry, Update or Cancel, click Update. If available updates are found Desktop Manager will prompt you to Get Update, Update Later or View other versions
    Click Get Update to install the recommended software version or View other Versions to manually select the version you wish to install and click Install.
    Reinsert the Battery which was removed earlier
    Click Install Update
    Note: there may be a prompt to activate the device wirelessly after the upgrade.
    Step #02: If you intend to use an official OS released for other mobile operator then proceed –
    Before you start Desktop Software search your C: drive for Vendor.xml and delete it. One can look for Vendor.xml in the following location -
    For Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader and delete Vendor.xml
    For 64-bit Vista or Windows 7: C: \ Program Files x86\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader and delete Vendor.xml
    Remove the battery from the back of the BlackBerry smartphone
    Connect the BlackBerry smartphone to the computer using a USB cable
    Once prompted to Retry, Update or Cancel, click Update. If available updates are found Desktop Manager will prompt you to Get Update, Update Later or View other versions

  • Blackberry 8520 does not start up

    HI,
      I have just bought a Blackberry 8520.
    It has been working fine till today suddenly a white screen came on with a small clock icon in the centre.
    The phone does not switch on. I have tired taking the batter off, sim and the memory card but nothing helps.
    If anyone know how to rectify this problem I would really apprecaite it.
    P.S I use MAC

    You'll need to get access to a PC.
    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. Congrats! 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.

  • Question about the BlackBerry 8520 Unlocked

    Hi all,
    I've a question about the BlackBerry 8520.
    I saw it's being sold as unlocked and I'm wondering if once I buy it I need to have a particular carrier plan to use it or if I can simply use my pay as you go At&t plan.
    So far I didn't buy any smartphone, iPhone, Android and so on because I don't want to be forced to add a monthly plan, that by the way usually is not cheap here in LA (around $70-$90 per month). But I'd like to have a BlackBerry as I guess I could use, even without the usual carrier plans, most of its features (but please correct me if I'm wrong).
    So, basically the question is: would it make sense to buy the 8520 even with my basic "pay as you go" plan?
    Thanks for any info.

    Haha... so, probably whatever I write in this forum it doesn't matter. That's nice, it could be the perfect place where I can just rant or write anything that comes to my mind. Cool, I'll keep you guys updated. Stay tuned, some good rant coming soon!

  • My blackberry 8520 device can't attach file *.doc

    Dear all,, My device can't attach file *.doc when I want to send an email using attachment file My device is Blackberry 8520 Gemini Need help and suggest here Thanks

    OK thanks, that clarifies many of the points. You have successfully registered HRT as well as received all new Service Books, so from that perspective, things should be good to go. A few more thoughts then.
    rian_pratama wrote:
    I can't change to another location to attach file
    By this, do you mean that you cannot navigate out of the picture folder it initially shows you? If you don't create a new email, can you use the on-device file manager (Homescreen > Media > > Explore) and navigate to any folder you like? If you can navigate via this, can you further select and send your .doc in this manner?
    Are you a 100% personal BB or is this a corporate (BES) BB? If BES, then stop now and go see your BES admins as they have full control.
    If this is a personal BB, how did you acquire it? Was it purchased directly from your carrier or was it somehow second hand? If it was second hand, you may have a latent IT policy on board from the prior owner...which would need to be removed via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/Remove-IT-Policy-from-personal-pho...
    Further, you are one version behind on the OS from your carrier...the most recent they now have is 5.0.0.681. I cannot tell you if your specific issue is addressed in that update or not...but a clean reload of your OS, with this new version, might be helpful. The best instructions I know for loading (upgrade, downgrade, reload) are here:
