Error 523 & BBM issue

Hello everyone
I am having an issue with my 8520.
Now and again I get a white screen with error 523 on it and I have to reboot my Blackberry to get it working again. It seems to happen randomly. Sometimes it's once a day, sometimes it's several times a day.
I searched lots and lots of forums about this issue and the solution seemed to be to update my OS. So I backed everything up on my desktop manager, removed all the applications I didn't need and updated the handheld software.
I had to then reinstall some apps: Facebook, Twitter, Google Maps, Google, BBM.
All was fine for a few hours. Then I got the 523 error again
It had also got rid of BBM (or so I thought) so this morning I'm dowloading BBM again. I am getting the latest version (which is what I had before, I thought) but when I went to download it it said "version 5.0 is already installed, do you want to install 5.1.4.1?" So I came out of my downloader and looked through my BB and could not find Messenger on it ANYWHERE. So now am downloading the latest version.
So my questions are:
What can I do to fix the 523 error?
Is it likely that that error is what wiped my BBM?
If it wasn't wiped, where did it go?
Thanks in advance.
Sarah

Actually the error 523 normally indicates some error with a third party application or theme, one of which is conflicting with the operating system in some way.
Please list any third party application installed... Options > Advanced > Applications.
and at Options > Themes.

BB 8320 showing APP error 523. How do I back up data before installing new os

Help me pls I'm very desperate> my BB is just over 1 year old. Woke up to find the screen with APP ERRor 523 reset . I've tried all tricks in previous treads without success. Only thing left is to install new os. Trouble is that the BB is not backed up yet. How can I back it up before removing old os and installing a new os

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Sorry, but it is highly likely that your data is already lost...so there is nothing to backup now. This simply proves the point that there are two kinds of computing device users...those who have lost data...and those who will. Backups before things go wrong are simply not optional.
Good luck and let us know!

App Error 523 Reset

Will somebody please help with my BB Pearl 8110 by walking me through
the complete resolution to this problem?
It all began by turning itself on and off, on and off.
I checked for updates an began the update process to v 5?
Unfortunately it must've turned itself on and off, on and off causing
App Error 523 Reset.
I followed other advice like hard and soft reboots? and my BB began
Blinking 4 times then once repeatedly.
So after going through, what I thought were the correct steps to recover
I've once again returned to
App Error 523 Reset.
At this point all I want is my BlackBerry back. Forget any personal items
I once had. I'll start all over again.
Thanks a bunch for any help and if it helps I will surely post so.
Scott

Hello!
We are so sorry that you are having so many difficulties. While many experience the same (a search here will reveal that fact), there are also many who have very positive experiences with their BB. Not every device is suitable for everyone -- which IMHO is why there are so many choices.
FYI -- these forums are a user-to-user support channel, not a user-to-RIM conduit. As such, it is unfortunate that we all missed your post and did not provide any useful responses to you...but, we are volunteers and not paid RIM support folks...sometime we just miss things. But a perusal through these forums will I think show your experience to be abnormal (as far as helpfulness in these forums is concerned). But, yes, I am biased...I volunteer a lot of time here when I can.
For the benefit of others who search and find this thread, here is the relevant KB for resolving the 523 error:
KB11816 Error "523 app.error.Reset" appears on the BlackBerry smartphone
Good luck!

App Error 523 reset - Curve 8320

Hey there. My BB curve is showing the app error 523 reset screen over and over. I cant get it to do much. Every now and then when I do a battery reset it will eventually load the main screen on the phone and say something about exception 3 error...something like that then the app error 523 shows up... but for the most part everytime the phone comes on, within 15 seconds the app error 523 pops up and locks the phone up.
Now I have been reading online for the past day or so trying to troubleshoot the issue, and I've read where I have to load the desktop manager and either d/l the new O/S and/or delete any apps that might have caused the issue. My problem is I cannot get the phone to stay connected to the desktop manager long enough to do anything befor the app error 523 pops up and shuts the phone down again. I have tried taking the memory card out and doing it, also tried taking the sim card out, but that error 523 keeps showing up.
Does anybody else know of anything I can try with this phone? It's really starting to get annoying.
Thanks for any advice..

Try this>
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.
Now, See if you uninstall any apps you question that might be cause the error --or theme.
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.

Re: app error 523 reset... PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi! Ok, i am totally lost! My blackberry pearl 8100 stoped living as of this morning at 8 a.m. I has a white screen with the same message as yours did, "app error 523 reset" No matter how many times i hit reset, it doesnt RESET! I have been off work since 6 and online looking for solutions. I read what the guy told you about yours, but i dont think i understand. I purchased my bb from someone, and i dont have anything on my desktop manager as some websites say. I do have the usb that came with the phone. Please help me if you can. I cannot afford another cell at this moment and i really like the one i have now. I have also tried the holding down the alt cap del button; NOTHING. I JUST WANT MY PHONE BACK. PLEASE! SOS!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
(FYI - we had this split off of a closed thread so that it could receive proper attention...)
First, you need to take the red out of your posts...please.
Second, you need to do the following:
I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything. If you have never installed the Desktop Software to your PC, then skip steps 1 and 2.
1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
5) Install DTM to your PC
6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
OK...next, follow this KB (including the other links within the KB) for recovery from the 523 error:
KB11816 Error "523 app.error.Reset" appears on the BlackBerry smartphone
Good luck and let us know!

Please help app error 523

ive got a bb pearl 9105 and everytime i turn it on its come up with error messages then comes up with a white screen that says error 523. i cant plug it into my comp as the charge port is broken and cant get rid of the error messages to activate the bluetooth.
anyone could any ideas?? ive tried reseting it, taking battery, sim,memory card out and nothings doing the trick...please help...

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB24395 "Error 523", "App Error 523", or "JVM 523" appears on the BlackBerry smartphone
Unfortunately, the actual remedy may well require connection to your computer...but with the port broken, that won't be possible. So you won't be able to fix this without seeking formal hardware-level support.
If you remain in warranty, you should seek out support via that channel. If you have no warranty, then you would seek out a local (to you) shop with qualified BB hardware technicians who can give you a proper diagnosis and estimate.
Good luck and let us know!

App error 523 message plz

Hi
a little bit of water go to the keyboard and the phone give me this massage app error 523
what should I do ?
I need the the information inside the phone
plz help me
I tried to connect the phone with the laptop but no respond??

After you have completed what is in the prior message, you can proceed with attempting to recover:
KB11816 Error "523 app.error.Reset" appears on the BlackBerry smartphone
BTW -- steel yourself for the fact that it is likely that all of your data on your BB is already lost...but you might get lucky...you won't know until you complete the steps in the prior post. But in all likelihood all is lost and your recovery will be via the steps in this post and linked KB. If you happen to have ever taken a backup of your device, then you can recover to that point using this procedure:
KB10339 How to restore data from a backup file to a BlackBerry smartphone
You might have to search your entire hard drive for files with an IPD extension (*.IPD). When you find any, check the date/time of the files...the most recent one is your best candidate for restoring from.
If you have been syncing your BB with your desktop PIM (e.g., Outlook), then all of your data is there and you will be able to re-synch after you've reinstalled your device OS.
If you have no backup and no desktop PIM, then all is lost.
Best.

Application Error 523!!!

Curve 8300 AT&T...latest OS, I believe.
I have done a search and came up with a few interesting answers on the subject. I was trying to activate the surreal theme last night and the error came up...I cannot do anything with the phone...when I pull the battery it boots up and says app error 523 and then gives me the option to reset, but it goes through the same process. My phone is not password protected and I don't have a memory card to pull (another forum said to pull in the process).
AT&T customer services is supposed to call me back to walk me through the master reset process. Is there any other way to get it to work again without losing everything?? I am loading the latest desktop software right now to see if I can even connect it to the computer.
Thanks for any help!!

App Error 523- Nothing is working

Hello,
I have a Blackberry curve 8310. Nothing is working anymore on my phone. There is this error message : app error 523. When I try to reset, it take 3 minutes of "waiting" with nothing on the screen, until the same message reappear. I also try taking off the battery for 3 minutes and put it in again, still nothing with the same message. I was wondering what can I do, and if nothing work, where can I send to phone for reparation, and how much it will cost for this kind of problem.
Thank you,

Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
You have some offending third party application or theme on the device causing the error.
Option One: IF you know which third party application is causing the error, you can use the command line functions of JL_Cmder to remove the cod file from the device. That is a complicated method but the most simple if you know what to remove.
Optionos Two: Wipe the device totally with JL_Cmder and reload the Operating System fresh. You will lose ALL data on the device, so I hope you have a recent backup of the device.
Read this link for details:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_wipe_the_BlackBerry_using_Jl_Cmder%3F
Do you have a recent backup? Search your entire PC hard drive c: for any file "*.ipd" (disclude the quote marks).

"App Error 523" on White Screen

I have plugged my phone into the charger after it had fully ran out of battery, only to watch the handset turn on and inform me of 4 text messages and 20 missed calls seconds before the white screen with the messaged "App Error 523" appears.
After choosing to reset the same happens only the amount of missed calls has went up by 4. I have tried on various occasions throughout the day and it just keeps addin 4 calls each time before returning to the white screen.
I have searched the Forums already and do not use Desktop Manager, therefore have no current back up.
Can you suggest how I remedy this quickly without a full factory reset losing all the information as it is a works phone?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Neil

Ok, don't get ahead of me and do something you will regret first, like losing your contacts.
FIRST, make sure you have the Desktop Software installed, and backup.
Make sure the backup completes.
Watch where you save the backup file ("somename.ipd" will be the file format, most likely with today's date on it.
Once you are sure you have backed up, then you want to wipe the device and reload the operating system.
You will lose all third party applications, but those can be re-downloaded from the original source.
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:

App Error 523 on 8800 WE

I'm having a major problem here. I was upgrading my Desk Manager and Device Software last night when I got the "App Error 523" message on my 8800 WE. I tried pulling battery out but it went right back to the error message. I tried connecting to the desk manager but it won't recognize the device so it gives me an error message saying that it cannot connect to the device.
Any help would be greately appreciated!
I just hope I didn't lose all the information that was on my blackberry.... I'm so dumb... I didn't do a back-up while upgrading!
