My Torch 9860 Fails to Start

My Torch 9860 does not start up. I removed and plugged back the battery three times, but the screen is stuck on loading page. Can anyone help me with this issue, please?

How many times did you try? How many variations from the documented instructions did you try?
I recall one device I had (a 9550, I think) that required
Waiting until the screen became responsive
Holding the ESC until about 50% of the loading bar
Releasing the ESC key until about 80% of the loading bar
Then holding the ESC key from about 80% to 90% (I think)
That was the sequence that device needed, and it took considerable experimentation to find it. If you have only tried once or twice, and have not tried any variations, then you may wish to consider doing so.
Otherwise, the recovery methods are more drastic:

Of course, those are only useful if the problem is not hardware. And hardware problems are impossible to truly diagnose at an internet-distance.
Good luck!

Torch 9860 does not starts

help!
my blackberry Torch 9860 does not starts, and the red led blinking a slow time and 3 times faster
I removed the battery and waited, when i put the battery back, nothing happens
I installed the blackberry desktop, but it does not recognize the phone, not from any sign that is connected
I tested with another blackberry and connected everything right, the problem is not the cable or pc
when I connect it via USB the red LED blinks 1 time 3 times fast and slow
when I try to start it nothing happens

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
Good luck and let us know!

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:

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

Torch 9860 Will not start

My 9860 will not start . The phone will try to start up but gets 3/4 across the screen then stops and tries to start again . Any help would be good . Thanks

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, 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.
Otherwise, you may be in a bad situation indeed, with the only remedies being quite drastic:

KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
KB27956 How to recover a BlackBerry smartphone from any state
Hopefully you already have a good backup of your BB, as these measures typically do not allow for any to now be taken.
Good luck and let us know!

TORCH 9860 FAILED TO CONNECT TO ALL NIGERIA BIS NETWORK AFTER OS UPGRADE

Hello all...............This is a problem which many people are facing in Nigeria and which could negatively affect the fortune of RIM in the country if care is not taken. I did an OS update on desktop manager and since then, i couldnt connect to BIS on any network in Nigeria even though i restore my backup files. The phone works quite well, i could make calls and the network is always 3G but no BIS. I went to the host routing table, and register over and over again to no avail. I took the phone to MTN Nigeria and they couldnt find solution. I downgraded the OS, upgraded it, no BIS. I use BBSAK to wipe the phone and reinstall, no result. The phone is not locked but was bought brand new from a retailing shop called Revive at Ikeja, Lagos Nigeria and they refused to take it back because my warranty of one month has expired (this speaks volume on the type of Blackberry Vendors in Nigeria). I thought if i could get a particular restore called BBservices which was greyed out in my backup maybe i could connect again. This may not be the problem, it may be another and that is why am here begging .......pls help.

man4war wrote:
Please if you know of any tricks to get the BIS working, kindly inform me as am beginning to get desperate.
As I said, I don't know what tricks may have been done specifically for yours. But the usual tricks are to ensure that the APN/TCP settings are correct for your carrier network, followed by extracting the Service Books from a different BB that is properly functioning on your carriers network and then importing those SBs into your BB. But, again, I have no way to know the proper APN/TCP settings for your carrier, and you'd have to gain access to such another functioning BB in order to obtain their Service Books.
But it would be very strange indeed for this BB to have worked so simply the day you received it...perhaps the shop you bought it from had done the tricks?
man4war wrote:
I read in several forums that if one is in a fix like this it is most likely that the BB pin and IMEI has been blacklisted by RIM, please is this so?
Again, no one here has any access to anything to answer that question. That again is a question that can only be answered by your carrier and/or BlackBerry. But there is only one channel for you to seek that answer...via your carrier, who can escalate the question up to BlackBerry if they cannot answer it.
Good luck!

Hello Vjenne1965 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you're experiencing Bluetooth issues with your vehicle.
Seeing as this device software most likely is higher than your previous device, it would be recommended you visit your Toyota dealer to ensure your vehicle Bluetooth software is up to date.

Hi salmaatty
Have you recently installed any application before this Problem started ? Think carefully any new application , theme , wallpaper or any recent app update !
If you have then try to boot your device on Safe Mode , On Safe Mode delete any application which you think might be responsible for this issue , from Options > Device > Application Manegement > locate and delete any newly installed 3rd party application , it might help in resolving your issue :

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,

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

Torch 9860 - Problem with wifi network

Hi,
I have a BB Torch 9860 and the internet access doesn´t work properly when connected to a wifi connection.
With my carrier data plan, everything works. Every time i connecto to a wifi connection, the internet access stops working. I tried to clean all registered networks, added new networks, everything i can remember of, but nothing works. The only way to get internet access on my phone, is with the carrier´s data plan.
Is this some kind of bug or software block?
I serched through the forum, and tried some of the solutions and sugestions, but nothing works.
The only satisfied part with this purchase so far is my carrier who seems to be very happy with the access through their data plan!
Can anyone give me a hand on this subject?
Thanks,
Rui

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Not knowing what you already found and attempted, we risk redundancy...nevertheless, with that risk...
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Resend Service Books (pre-BB10 devices only)
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) 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.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support. In very rare cases, I have heard of carriers blocking the use of BIS via WiFi...but only they (your carrier) can answer as to if that is what they are doing.
Oh...wait...another though...a bit of a wild one...please check this:
Article ID: KB30076 How to check for an IT Policy on a BlackBerry smartphone
If you have an IT Policy and are on BES, then talk to your BES admins about if they may perhaps be blocking this. If you have an IT Policy but are not on BES, then you have much bigger problems to deal with...you will need to backup your device, conduct a ResetToFactory, and then restore your device (but ONLY partial...do not do a full restore or it will put the IT Policy back on and you'll be right back where you started).

My BlackBerry Torch 9860 restarted itself

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.

Hi there,
Sounds like a hardware issue ! Still if you want to try then use BBSAK or JL_Cmder to wipe your device then load a fresh OS pack .Or first be sure that your battery is good enough then try those steps again :

1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed. BlackBerry desktop software
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):

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 Software Download Site
