Blackberry Torch 9860 hangs on home screen

I was using whatsapp and suddenly the phone freezed. When I re-inserted the battery, it froze again at the home screen where we have to enter the device password. It freezes in safe mode too. This is the first time I'm experiencing this problem. Earlier, it used to hang on logo screen but I got my phone replaced as it was in warranty. now it is out of warranty. Please suggest me some solution for this. I tried to wipe all the data by connecting it with my pc. But it doesn't get connected to the pc. Please help. Early response will be appriciated. Thanks on advance.

Have you tried Safe Mode?  Remove the battery.  While holding down the back key insert the battery.  Continue to hold the back key for another 20 seconds while the device begins to boot.  If that doesn't work proceed to this step:
Download JL_Cmder and see if you can wipe the device with that.  You may need to remove the battery and reboot it and then plug it in right away to see if you can get connected to it.  It may take a few tries at various stages of boot to get it to connect.  If you can get the wipe to take and give you a 507 error you can easily reload the OS.

  • Blackberry Torch 9860 won't start

    Type of phone: Blackberry Torch 9860
    Problem:
    I had a software problem, phone got stuck, and after restart it gave a jvm error. I tried to fix it through Blackberry Desktop Manger. During the fix it stopped, and i got a white screen on the phone. After disconnecting it from USB, and putting it back in, the phone didn't do anything anymore.
    It won't start, it won't recognize, it won't load the battery, no symbols appear when connecting it through USB (even with batt. out). It looks completely dead.
    My guess is that the mainchip software corrupted during the fix, and this is causing the problem.
    My question, can i fix it, when the computer cannot recognize the phone, and cannot turn it on in any way?
    I tried to find a solution for this problem, but there aren't many cases related to my specific details.
    Help would really be appreciated at this point!
    Thank you!

    Given that result, I recommend a clean OS reload. 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:

  • Memory leak issue on Blackberry Torch 9860

    I own a Blackberry Torch 9860 Os 7.0 Bundle 1465 for the last 5 months
    Previously I had Blackberry Curve 9300 which I had upgraded to OS 6.0. It had memory leak issues wherein my application memory would gradually dropdown to merely KBs within a few days and I had to reboot it to restore the same.
    When I purchased Torch 9860, I migrated my device settings from Curve to Torch using the Desktop Manager. I face the same memory leak issues in this new device as well. I have 3 email accounts configured on my device and some social networking applications which include facebook, twitter, and some messengers. I usually delete my emails and keep only a few useful mails for reference. Still I am facing this issue wherein I have to reboot my device to restore the application memory. It starts from 152 Mb and usually dropsdown to merely Kilobytes of memory. The phone freezes for around 1-2 minutes sometimes when I am on call, or accessing my contacts.
    Also to let you know that I have a 8GB memory card on my phone which has around 1.6 GB free space. I have disabled Compression on my memory card as well.
    Please advise as I am having a hard time using this time this way.
    Regards,
    Abhinav Sharma
    Thanks and regards,
    Abhinav Sharma

    I have the almost same problem when i run the phone gap app on the 9800 torch OS 6 than this build of 1.2 MB takes the memory of 40 MB at run time and the device gives the low memory message and close the app forcefully.
    In my app phone gap is using 3-4 html pages and java script .
    And when i navigate on these pages it gives this message of memory low.
    Please help me to out of this .
    And please suggest if any professional help in this
    Thanks\\\

    my BlackBerry Torch 9860 restarted itself and restarts again and loops again cant start the phone at all. Pls help! Urgent! What could be wrong? OS 7?? I think it may have some problem... I need help!!

    Dear Fisol,
    Thank you for your swift reply. I hope that my service centre would give me an immediate solution rather than awaiting 30 working days and being given a new one. I am EXTREMELY frustrated and disappointed by the symptoms my phone have may stem from poor quality assurance after phones fabrication.

  • Blackberry Torch 9860 becomes unusable

    dear friends,
    my Blackberry torch 9860 becomes unusable after three months of service. i have just used memboo memory booster on it, and it restarts without reopen. each time i pull the battery, when i place it again, it starts an never finish to load to pass the loading step to open.
    what can i do or what Blackberry can do for me please??

    Hello Brandohn 
    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
    or download BBSAK http://bbsak.org/download.php
    If JL_Cmder does not work, you can try this:

  • BB Torch 9860 Hangs during booting

    I bought a BB Torch 9860 a week back.  Yesterday night the handset got switched off  as the battery had exhausted. In the morning when I was trying to switch it on it was not coming on. I put on charging, there was no indication of charging for some time then it started booting. The booting indicator (the line which indicates that the handset is being booted) went half way and stopped. The system did not respond to switch off button. The battery was removed and put back to restart. Every time it boots to half line and hangs. Would request someone to extend help please.

    Hey thomas_k_s,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest to do 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 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.

    If BlackBerry Desktop Software is not recognizing your phone, you're really out of luck; it's imperative that BDS connects to your phone.
