Crackberry Reloaded

So...I've my Blackberry 8530 since January, and have encountered various problems, most of which resolve themselves over time. HOWEVER, this morning I woke up and my phone was working fine. I get to school and it decides that it is just NOT on board with me being productive. It has been rebooting itself for nearly four hours. It keeps turning off, rebooting, and will stay on for only about 7 seconds at the most, and then shut off again. I tried taking the battery out and leaving it out for about 30 minutes-an hour, but it keeps doing the same thing. HELP!!!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Well, that does not sound good. You've done the basics (reboot). Hopefully it won't apply, but perhaps this article will be helpful:

Good luck and let us know!

  • Blackberry 8100/8110 Red Light Flashing

    It seems this is a common problem.
    I loaded my Pearl 8110 or 8100 with a sh**load of music, pics & videos.
    when i went to access them, play them or slideshow them, I noticed it took forever...attempting to ease the memory load on my phone, i started deleting, from the phone itself (not while connected via USB), songs, pictures, folders thereof, etc.
    then it died.
    and it wouldnt re-start. pulled the battery, tried to sync it, tried to update, tried everything...the computer WONT read the phone...the update keeps getting stuck on re-initailization and when i finally cancel, it says "UNABLE TO UPDATE USING A MULTI-STAGE UPLOAD" or something like that.  it's almost as if the usb port got fried...it momentarily connects when the red light flashes on, then disconnects when the red light flashes off.
    i've read thru 3-4 pages of posts on this without any hope in sight.
    is it futile?  or is there something i havent tried?

    This website has a good solution. It seems to work for most people. My 8100 wasn't nuked, but I needed to reinstall the OS. I followed his instructions and it worked.
    I don't know if we're allowed to post links on this forum, but I'll try. If it doesn't allow the link, then Google "crackberry reload operating system nuked blackberry" and it should be the first link. Just look for the crackberry site.

  • Pearl Flip 8220 - unable to reload OS

    Dear all,
    I am using a Pearl Flip 8220 (T-Mobile unlocked version) in INDIA.
    Recently I gave the handset for OS reloading as I was getting a 'Call Failed' message frequently. None of the repair shops could resolve the issue & hence I decided to wipe the existing OS (on my own) and reload the latest one by downloading it from BB website for my carrier (Airtel). I wiped the existing OS using BBSAK and tried loading the OS.
    But since then I have been facing issues and not able to do it. While trying to load the OS, the handset restarts automatically, for some reason, and the loading ends abruptly. I have observed that this happens while the applicaion tries to load 'net_rim_cldc.cod'.
    I would be extremely grateful if somebody has come across the scenario and can help me resolve it. Am not very familiar with the installation, but did go through a few suggestions given by a members on CrackBerry & other forums.

    Hi Sharan,
    Try just following the steps here:

    If you still have problems, it may be necessary to reload the JVM on the device as well. To do that, go to the Start button on your computer and in the search box, type "cmd" (without the quotation marks). This will open the DOS command box. Type the following exactly as written below:
    cd c:\program files (x86)\common files\research in motion\apploader\
    Press enter (note, if your computer runs a 32-bit version of Windows, do not include the (x86) part, so instead type "cd c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader", minus the quotation marks and press enter).
    Next, type:
    Loader.exe /nojvm
    Press enter again. This will now open the Loader file in a way that will also reload the java virtual manager on the device, which should help.
    If that still doesn't work, let us know. Good luck!

  • Reload error 507

    Hi team,
    My blackberry smart phone getting 507 error, my device connected with blackberry desktop manager for update the software but its showing there are no available software update. i tried the remove the batter and connecting to desktop manager but its not connecting.
    please help me for resolving the issue.
    Regards
    Ram

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    507 means that there is no OS installed to your BB at all...it's empty. But, it can be recovered from, but not perhaps via the automated means (which, from your post, it seems that's what you've tried). Rather, you need to take full manual control over what is to be installed to your BB. 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. This is irrelevant to your situation now as your BB is already "empty".
    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
    6) 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, your BB presents another "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.

  • Re: Help! "Reload software error 507" Message on Blackberry Tour?

    I attempted to follow the instructions of mohrayma, but when the program got to reconnecting with JVM I got a whole new error message.  "Application loader was unable to connect with the devise".  Though I hadn't moved the cord or devise I continued to get the error message when i repeated the steps.  What am I to do?

    Hi,
    Your device is what we refer to as "bricked" or "nuked."  Fortunately, there is a fix.  Follow the instructions from Crackberry at http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry for restoring your device's software.

  • 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 ?

  • Reloading OS 10.1

    Hello all - is it possible to reload same OS/Radio version to Z10 using Sachibar/Sachup? I feel like something went wrong to my phone that wants me to fully reload the 10.1 OS. Should i expect any harm to my device if i try it? Will i lose programs/data?
    *My Crackberry app for example went missing and is sitting on installed apps on BB World. I cant reinstall it, delete, or open. Do you know any work around? I also cant reload my back up using BB link. With these issues on hand, i feel like something really is missing.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Personally, unless you are quite familar with Sachibar, I would recommend you just use the simpler autoloader files.

  • Can't "reload" a Z10 with blackberry link

    Hello,
    I've done this many times but since october I still have the following error.
    So I have a Z10 that I need to reload with blackberry link. I need the firmware to be reinstalled and most data wiped out.
    I've done this many time on Z10, Q5 or Q10, it wiped the phone and updated it in the same time.
    But now I still get that error.
    Fist when I use "reload" it ask this.
    it's normal
    then when I click "get update" I got this
    less normal
    when I click "install" I get that error.
    So now I can't use the "reload" feature and it's not devide dependant.
    I tried and 3 different computer and 4 other blackberry.

    I finally found a solution : autoloader!
    Even if you have to be carefull about the file you launch, it's exactly what I wanted, an update with a wipe.
    I found this thread
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
    then this one https://developer.blackberry.com/devzone/blackberry10devalpha/devalpha_update.html, even if it's dev version, it works.
    I even found a thread on crackberry that list even more recent firmware than in the alpha dev page.

  • I cannot reload Verizon 9930 software

    Hi, i have a Verizon Blackberry 9930 and encountered an error 507.  My computer sees the phone when connected and i try to reload software on Blackberry Desktop and I get message "There are no Blackberry Device software updates available".  I tried to do this via app loader as well and get the same message.  Shouldn't there just be a current software version for the 9930 on the desktop to reinstall software?  i have tried on both my mac and PC but neither has software for my 9930.  I have tried everything.  Please help.  Thank you 

    You should download the latest version of the OS to your computer BEFORE you try to upgrade, this should get everything to work.....

  • Black Screen - Setup Incomplete - Can't reload

    So, my Passport screen works, I can see the screen reset, all the visuals work on startup, showing progress, etc.  When the phone turns on however, I get a black screen (it's on, just blank, black background). This occurred after an apparent software update using Link. All was working well, until that update. Wish I could tell you the version, as I now can't access anything on the phone with the black screen. When I press volume buttons, it shows volume visuals for increaseing/decreasing volume, when I take a screenshot, it also shows the usual message for saving to my images. but, nothing else works.  When I reconnect to Link and try a factory restore or reload, I get the Setup incomplete messages. I can't try Sachesi or anything else for this same setup incomplete error message.  Not sure what other options I have.  Already tried reload, factory restore, hard reset with volume buttons - always the same result - black screen, do not pass go.  When I try the update software option (even though it went through the update that caused all these problems), I then get an Unspecified error encountered [A:0x000000A2] message, if that helps. W...T...F...

    Hi and Welcome to the Community! The most common thing to do after an update that results in issues is to perform an OS reload. Sometimes, the update processes have errors and such...with a reload often curing the issues. The official methods, which will be controlled as to what exact OS versions you are offered:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-Functions-and/How-to-Reload-your-Blackberry10-O...Unfortunately, you've already tried those without success, which leads then to the unofficial methods, which are cleaner (and more forceful), and allow you to choose an OS version that perhaps your carrier (or whoever it is controlling your offers) has been slow to approve:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...http://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-leaked-beta-os-f395/bb10-os-archive-943672/Of course, before you started any of this, hopefully you took a good backup via LINK, a manual copy of your Device Memory to your PC, and full documentation of your configuration (account credentials, added apps, configurations, etc.). Sometimes, restoring from a backup returns to the device the very corruption one needs to eliminate, and reconfiguring from scratch can resolve that. Good luck!

  • 9630 Keyboard/Buttons not working; hard resets and multiple reloads of OS did not correct

    My BlackBerry 9630 Tour is a little more than a year old. Yesterday the keyboard, trackball, and all buttons stopped working while I was typing out an email. I could not power off the Blackberry without removing the battery for a hard reset. Unfortunately, even after many hard resets, the problem persisted, so I went to the forums for help and tried everything that seemed relevant (multiple times) with no success.
    After reviewing a number of tech support posts, this problem does not appear to be unique to any given model of BB and contact with liquids is cited as a common but not the only cause for this condition.
    I was outside on a very hot and humid day when the malfunction occurred so it is possible some perspiration may have come into contact with the keypad, convenience buttons, or trackball and caused the lockup.
    I'm looking for someone with more smarts than me to help me troubleshoot, identify the actual problem, and identify the proper corrective actions. See below for a synopsis of my actions taken, with the exception of taking it to the shop for repair/replacement.
    The corrective actions listed on the forums and blogs are varied but essentially fall into two primary solutions:
    1. If moisture is suspected to be the issue, let the BB dry out overnight
        a. Pull the battery, naturally air dry or use a blow dryer, let it sit unplugged with no battery for at least 12 hours 
        b. If this doesn't immediately work, try a clean install of the OS (see below)
        c. If this doesn't work, take to the shop and they'll either replace the keyboard and/or trackball or replace entire unit
    2. If moisture is not suspected to be a factor then perform a backup followed by a clean install of OS
         a. Backup your files using Desktop Manager Backup and Restore
         b. Do a clean reinstall OS using Desktop Manager Application Loader
             i. The OS installation process is dicey  and takes a little patience and focus-- you have to wait for the Desktop Manager to properly recognize the device before it can proceed on some of the steps and it may take several iterations to get completely through the process and get the "successful installation" message.
             ii. Further, you may need to keep the battery removed during the initial steps in the process and only insert it when the process gets to the point of actually trying to copy files into the BB memory
                * The BB LCD will display an icon that looks like a battery with a slash through it letting you know the process cannot proceed until a battery is inserted and the Desktop Manager Application Loader will also give you an error indicating it cannot find the device.
                * After inserting the battery, it will take a few seconds or more for the computer to recognize the USB device and for Desktop Manager to respond with the BB password pop-up window.
                * After typing in your BB password, the installation should continue.
        c. If you can get the OS successfully reloaded and your keyboard/trackball/buttons work -- great -- now restore your files and settings using Desktop Manager Backup and Restore and get on with your life.
        d. If this does NOT work after multiple successful clean OS installations apparently you are completely hosed; the only other option is to get it to the shop for repair or replacement.
    1.. Does anyone have a troubleshooting procedures that will identify whether moisture is the root cause or not?
    2. Is there another corrective procedure that's been missed?

    Took  BB to Sprint Store and technician took it apart, saw no evidence of moisture or any other damage, and concluded that the keyboard had failed. Not an uncommon occurance.
    Also, he told me you cannot simply replace the keyboard, it is integral to the systemboard, so you need to replace the entire device.
    He did commend the troubleshooting approach used prior to going to the store -- most folks won't take the time to do even basic troubleshooting (like taking out the battery), they just go to the store and say "fix it please". He confirmed that the steps outlined in the initial post were correct and did not have any other solutions.
    Take away:
    If you want to do some troubleshooting yourself to check for moisture, the process was pretty straightforward. After watching the technician, most folks with a little technical or mechanical aptitude should be able to manage the dismantling process. You just need a small phillips head screwdriver and a little patience. Good lighting and a magnifying glass or reading glasses also help!

  • I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help?

    I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help? FYI: I have been using boot camp with windows 7 and started getting a kernal_data_Page_error and it would reboot windows, i was trying to do a chkdsk on the next reboot, but thats when i started getting this issue. I have put in a new hard drive and went from 2 gigs to 4. I can not get the computer to do anything, even the monitor does not show anything now????

    Prep your new drive:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.

  • Where does firefox cache the form parameters to be used in the reload event of a page that was the resposne of a HTTP POST request?

    Suppose there is form in a web page and it submits data in HTTP POST method. After submitting the form, if I reload the page [either by the refresh button or back button; whichever applicable], firefox asks permission to resend the form data by saying "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action...". Now if the user clicks on the resend, firefox resubmits the form data.
    So where does firefox store this from data for such future resending/resubmission?
    Is it possible to retrieve/manipulate those stored form data?

    I thought I'd tried that, as tried lots of other things like encoding URL, but obviously not as this works.
