Blackberry Curve 830 not booting up?

I have a blackberry curve 8530. It stoped working and just wont power on. I bought a new battery for it and let it charge for about 10 hours. It starts to turn on and boot up but once the loading bar gets 1/16th of the way loaded it shuts down and starts all over again. What is going on? Someone please help me and tell me how I can fix it, if I can. Thank you.

Curve 8900 not booting

Hello,
After an update of some applications, my curve doesn't boot anymore.
I just have the red light flashing (2 flashes pause 3 flashes).
I tried to reload the OS, but my BB is not recognized. I tried different USB ports, nothing happens ...
Can anybody help me ?
Thanks,
Delafoy

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
For BBSAK, here is the link: http://bbsak.org/
If JL_Cmder does not work, follow this instructional:

Blackberry Curve will not start up

My Blackberry curve wont boot, i woke up this morning and the screen was on with the hourglass spinning, it stays at that screen for about 5 seconds then the screen goes black and the red light at the top right comes on for a few seconds, then the light goes off and everything is blank for a few seconds, then the screen comes on with the hour glass spinning for about 5 seconds, repeating the cycle.
I took out the battery and sim card, put them back in and the same thing happens, The battery had about 1/3 power when i went to bed last night but i threw it on the charger this morning in hopes that it would fix the problem.
the power button does not appear to be sticky in any way.what should i do?

That is completly unbelievable I have had the same problem for the last 3 days and I'm so pissed to find out that RIM has not rectified this problem.
Is this the truth? Is there is no solution other then to get a new phone ?! ARRRRHHHHGGG!!!
I will never buy another fataly flawed device from these people.
One would think that such a expensive phone would have a failsafe.
RIM, get your act toogether! If i find out this is the truth I am reporting you to the Better Buisness Bureau.
i lost so much vital data it is sickening.

Blackberry Curve 8520 not working correctly

My Blackberry Curve 8520 is not working correctly. It has worked on and off for about 2 days now.
The first thing to stop was the media files - at first it said the SD card was inserted, but couldn't find any files. I've tried repairing the card. Then it is said there was no card inserted. Have taken out and re-entered the card, and formatted it. It now says there is no card inserted again.
Also, Whatsapp and BBM are not working. I can open them, and can type a message, and press send, but no message actually sends.
Plus the screen keeps freezing, will only work again through a battery pull.
I've had the phone for about 3 months.
Please help!

Hello Sarahhelen,
I would suggest backing up and doing a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320. Please test before restoring any data to the device.
If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)
How to use BlackBerry® Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry® smartphone from a backup file
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339.
If the issue 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.

Blackberry Curve 8530 Not Charging

I have had the blackberry curve for a while now. I forgot to charge it and the battery got completely drained. I plugged it in the wall charger. The Red LED came on for about ten seconds, and then a picture of a battery charging appeared. 1 minute later, an image of a battery with a red line through it appeared. I left the phone to charge, thinking it would fix it. Even an overnight charge could not fix the problem. I took out the battery for 30 seconds, put it back in, and charged again, and the problem persisted. I also tried my USB charger and was still greeted with the same problem. Any ideas as to what's wrong?

Did you change anything or do anything on that date?
My guess is there's little you'll be able to do on your end but it can't hurt to make a full backup using Desktop Software and then do the wipe and see what happens. Do you have another device you can put your sim card in and see if text messages show up?

Camera on blackberry curve 9320 not working

Hi. I am in real need of help now. This problem started 1-2 months back, but I only noticed it about 1 month back. The camera on my blackberry curve 9320 isn’t working. At first, when I opened the camera, it said that I needed to close other applications to use the camera, and I did do it, but the camera still didn’t work. Now, when I open the camera through the icon or the convenience button on the right of the device, this screen comes up. It doesn’t let me take pictures for anything, but does let me open the options. It does the same for the video camera. Please can someone help me. I need to sell this phone to get a Blackberry Z10 but I cant sell it with a camera that doesn’t work. Please, anyone reply with a solution ASAP. Thank.  />
he screen" wi

The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try the "Bare Bones OS Reload Procedure" to attempt to narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
You may also need the use of these tricks:

KB27956 How to recover a BlackBerry smartphone from any state
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software

Blackberry curve will not turn on

recently my blackberry curve 8530 has shut off and will not turn back on. i had it sitting on the charger because the battery was half way full and an hour later it randomly shut off.
there is no sign of redlight. tried the battery pull multiple times and didnt work. i also plugged it into the computer which doesnt even recognize it. i took it to verizon and they said the battery was fine and that there was moister on the keyboard, so they told me to put it in rice for 2 days which i did and it did not work either. i also left it on the charger for a few days to see if it would help but nothing.
if anyone knows how to fix this i would appreciate it.

most likely your battery died for real and would suggest you to bring it for a check. It's nothing to worry, battery failure happens and you won't lose you datas.

Hello,
If I had a penny for every time someone made that threat. It is so fun, is it not? One of the benefits we have in this world is choice...each of us is free to do so...making threats to do so is silly, IMO. Especially in your first post in this user-to-user volunteer-contributed forum.
You already are in the formal support queue with your carrier. I suggest you continue to pursue that. They have the ability to escalate your case all the way into RIM. You should be asking for that.
Good luck!

Blackberry Curve 8330 not playing music

I purchased this Blackberry Curve 8330 in new condition. I bought a 4gb sd card for my music, ringtones, etc. I synced the music to my sd card using windows media player and then plugged the sd card into my phone. It plays some music. Most of the other music has this error, "An error has occured when attempting to play media." Then it just goes to the next song, same thing happens, next song, and so on. The music plays perfectly when I play it from my sd card on my computer. I have tried the files in MP3 format and WMA format. Any help?

Hello Sushu
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
If you want to access most BlackBerry Application over your Mobile Network then a normal 3G data plan will not allow us, for that you have to activate BIS / BlackBerry Data Plan from our Carrier . However currently many application may work over a WiFi network .
So if you want to use those applications over your Carrier Network then call Vodafone and activate BIS on your account.

Blackberry curve browser not loading!i boyght

I bought a bb curve 8520 off of ebay and its all in working order. Bbm, emails etc are all workig but i havent got blackberry app world so ive tried accessing the browser to download BBAP but the browser wont load. Whenever i try to load an internet page it shows a message saying something to do with the server being unavailable. How do i get my broswer to work?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

Blackberry Curve will not display Public Library Pictures

My BB Curve has recently just stopped displaying the pictures in my public picture library. All other folders are good. When I click on the folder all the pictures are dark or simply have the little icon. What is the fix? Thank you.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!
