Blackberry 9630 Tour - Reload Software: 552 - Mac

This is my second Tour since I bought my first Blackberry a couple of weeks ago. I know I'm definitely not in the norm as being a Blackberry user and a Mac user as well, but I need help. I recently was deleting some frivolous apps I had downloaded from App World, and when I rebooted, I was met with this error message - Reload Software: 552. I've seen some of the other posts here regarding the same error message, but I'm having a problem loading any software onto my device since Desktop Manager only works on Windows computers. I can't even download the OS to install because that page requires IE 5.5, and they stopped making IE for Mac 4 years ago. I don't want to have to keep trading in my Tour, especially if this really is a problem that I could possibly fix myself.
Does anybody have any suggestions for me to try? Removing the battery gives the same results, and the folks at the Verizon store I took my first Tour to didn't know what to do, and that's why they had me just swap it out completely.

HI and Welcome to the Forums!
FWIW -- Here is the official KB about the 552 error:
KB18751 Error "App Error 552" is displayed on the BlackBerry smartphone
Sadly, you are correct that DTM presently only runs on PC's to do what is necessary. But, what is necessary is to reload the OS, which means you need to find a PC to do that on since you can't do it on your MAC. Perhaps you can take the KB to the store and show them and they can do it for you?

Vzn Blackberry Tour Reload Software 552

Hi,
I've had my Blackberry 2 days and today I was uninstalling an application (ECOE) and after the reboot, I received this error message. I can't turn it off etc. so I looked into the problem. I've downloaded the most recent Blackberry Desktop Manager and can't seem to connect to my Blackberry (it asks for the password and it's not accepting it, I've tried 3 times andI defenitely typed my password in correctly). How do I fix this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Just for the record, what was the error message? Sorry...just noticed the subject line...552...here is the KB for reference:
KB18751 "App Error 552" is displayed on the BlackBerry smartphone
Also -- DTM will indeed require you to enter, into the PC, the device password that you have set. And it will function just like entering it on the device -- fail 10 times and it will wipe the device clean. It is exact -- case sensitivity, special characters, alfa versus numeric, etc. all apply. After the 5th (I think) attempt, it will begin displaying what you type (instead of the ********)...I think it does that on the DTM interface (I know it does it on the device interface).
Good luck!

Blackberry Curve 8900 Reload Software 552

I was just downloading the BoA mobile app when this horrendous thing happened. So i went to the AT&T store and they said they couldn't help me. The useless man then directed me to go download the software and told me it would work. However, the software wont recognize my blackberry and there is nothing I can do. HELP

You are going to need to reload the OS on your device. Your data is lost, unfortunately, as there is no way to back it up at this point.
Here are instructions on how to reload the software.

Reload software 552 issue (Mac user)

Hi to the community of BB user for Mac,
Since yesterday i have a problem with the "reload software: 552" message on my BB. I am a Mac user and when I connect my BB to my computer, it doesn't recognise it (device "Not connected") and so I can't go to the "Applications" menu to reload the DM os.
Is anyone on this forum know how to do it with a Mac. There are some options for PC users but I can't find any with mac, it is like my last option is to send the BB to RIM but it takes about 2 weeks to get it fix.
Thanks
Loic

Thanks
one question, at step 2:
"Your name > Library > Application Support >BlackBerry Desktop >Device Applications
2. Delete all the OS's in the folder and empty the trash."
I dont have the "Device Applications" folder, I guess that the memory of the BB has been wiped out when I installed the application.
regards

Frozen Phone saying ; "Reload Software: 552" ?? Help !!!!!!!!!!

My screen is frozen on a WHITE SCREEN, with the words "Reload Software 552". I have taken the battery out and had no corrections to this issue.
I admit that in the 3 days that I have had my new BB Tour from Verizon, that I downloaded plenty of Apps from BB App world and some from Crackberry.com. Are these the causes for the FREEZE ?
Can I just reload the software from my BB Desktop Manager ?
How can I prevent this from happening again ?
Matt

Reload Software 552 - Is all my data lost?

Hi everyone,
I have a major issue with my BB and I am scared that my data may be lost. My device hasnt been working properly recently, so tonight I tried to do a contact back up with Orange, for which I had to download their app. Once I downloaded it the phone has shut and when I restarted it again it showsn a white screen "Reload Software 552".
I know that the contact back-up I tried to do with Orange, was not succsful, so will I loose all my contatcs if I do a software reset now? I am not too bothered about my pics, apps etc....but I have about 600 contacts both business and private, for which I dont have a back up.
I tried using the DM but it wont recognize my device. Please help me on this one, and let me know if there is any way out of this, which will NOT ERASE my contacts??
Many thanks.

You have NO recent back up of the device, or have BlackBerry Protect installed and working?
Yes, you will likely lose your contacts and personal information on the device.
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 may see your PIN listed, or you might 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.

Reload Software 552 - Can't Restore!!

Hi all, I have a 8520 and just after installing a new app its crashes with this msg : "Reload Software 552"
I have been reading many articles, one of them from official site (http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB18751). This one has one step where i should connect through the USB without the battery, but is not working on my phone. If I took the battery I can't connect with the PC.
ALso, Im still having one problem. I could re-install the OS but the phone its restore to 0, the MENU does not have the any of the apps, I can see all on my SD (apps, pictures) but I can't access any of this from the OS.
I hope somebody can help me on this as my Bberry is My right hand!!

You will need to use JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:

Reload Software:552 and then "Application loader was unable to connect with your device."

Hi guys
I'm new to this forum and looking for a help please..
My curve 8900 got the "Reload Software:552" message on the screen. I was trying to uninstall an application and after it asked me to reboot, it showed me that message. I already try to reinstall the OS like most of you guys said. But when I already in the process of that, it showed me "Application loader was unable to connect with your device. Please re-connect yout device, enter password, if requiered, and retry"
I was trying this steps..
1. use the BlackBerry Desktop Manager
2. connect the BlackBerry to the computer using a USB cable
3. click application loader, then start
4. then i choose the OS and apps i want to install it also
5. after i click finish and the process start, i stuck on the task 2 of 5 "wait for device initialization" and then the message "Application loader was unable to connect with your device. Please re-connect yout device, enter password, if requiered, and retry" showed.
I try and try again but there is no use. it keeps show that message.
help me please, this really frustrates me
Thanks in advance guys..

1. Make certain your USB cable is connected to a main REAR USB port on the rear of the PC, not a front USB port, not a USB hub.
2. Try loading the OS with these instructions (make sure that Desktop Manager is not running):
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.

Reload Software: 552 - What?

My Curve 8520 is "locked up" with the display reading: Reload Software: 552
How can I fix this problem?

Are you using Desktop Manager or the new Desktop Software? If the latter, left hand side "applications." If the earlier versions see

Reload Software:552 Problem

My Curve 8520 is still "locked up" with the display "Reload Software: 552". I tried using KB18751 to no avail.
What next? Buy a new phone?

I'm not sure I've done any wiping or uploading.
I couldn't determine from your post as to whether or not you had followed the advice in the KB you quoted
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB18751
Consequently, it was both a question and a statement.
The advice in the KB is to reload the OS, so are you saying you have done that and it didn't work, or you did do it and have ended up with the error?

Thank You
Czabless

Hey there Czabless
Unfortunately a hard reset will not work you will have to reload the software to your device. In order to do that you will need to download and install both the blackberry desktop manager as well as the blackberry device software to your computer.
KB11320 - Clean reload with desktop software
KB16251 - Clean Reload without desktop manager software
These should give you what you need to get rid of this error message
*Note if you are running VIsta or Win 7 make sure you turn off the User Account Controls as this will help the installation process go a whole lot smoother.
