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!

Pearl Flip 8220

Hi All,
I just bought a Pearl Flip 8220. Received it two days ago and have been using it as a normal phone while waiting to register with my service provider. This morning for no apparent reason the phone blanked out and all I can get now is the red LED indicator light intermittent with the white background and (wait- loading) clock. I have tried taking the battery out and replacing to reset but to no avail. Any ideas?

Welcme to the cmmunity supprt frums
I would probably have them send me another one. Sounds like you may need to reload the OS. It is something that can be done but if it is a new phone, I would want a new replacement.
Thats just me.... others will be here to give you direction as well! Glad you are here! Enjoy your stay ... and most of all enjoy that BlackBerry

Is the display on Pearl Flip 8220 sharper that the one on my 8310?

Does anyone know why the display on a Pearl Flip 8220 seems sharper than the one on my 8310? Is it the 4.6 OS or the actual display?
Man, I want a 8900......

Traditional chinese language support for pearl flip 8220?

I just got a pearl flip from T-Mobile. I'm happy with most features, however, there is no Chinese language support whatsoever. All the Chinese characters show up as black boxes. Anyone know of any fixes so that I can read and input Chinese (traditional Chinese)?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Your device OS does not support chinese symbols.
Ask your wireless provider for a multi-language device OS that supports chinese characters.
Otherwise - check a chinese wireless provider for device OS. But note that your wireless provider disfavor use of device os from another wireless providers.
If you decide to use OS from another wireless provider - use OS exactly for your device model.
Install OS package on your desktop computer. After that delete Vendor.xml file from installed files on your desktop PC.
Connect your device to the computer and update device OS via Blackberry Desktop Manager/Application Loader.

BB Pearl Flip 8220 & Packetmac version 4.125 - Sync Music Files

I am trying to sync a playlist to my phone - but I get nothing - well not true I do get the artist folder but no songs.
Please help

Are these purchased songs from the iTunes store? If so, they won't play on the BB. If they are mp3 or m4A they will work but if they are m4p they will not.

Nothing gets updated on my 8220 Pearl Flip

Hey
I am trying to update my App World and my BBM to BBM 6 but they never get updated even after rebooting my phone several times. I tried installing them through all the possible ways. Through my phone, through the mail that the website sends and USB but nothing seems to be working. My device is listed in the supporting devices.
What seems to be the problem?
Any help would be appreciated immensely.
Thank you!

Hello Yashvi,
Welcome to the forums.
The reason you are not able to update these applications is most likely do to the version of BlackBerry® device software that is running on your BlackBerry® Pearl™ Flip 8220 smartphone.
Have a look below for the system requirements for the BlackBerry App World™ storefront
BlackBerry App World 2.1 requires BlackBerry® Device Software v4.5 or higher. BlackBerry App World 3.1 requires BlackBerry® Device Software v5.0 or higher (Click "options", then "about" from your smartphone to check your version).
A trackpad, trackball or touch screen
A service plan that includes access to the BlackBerry® Browser
Have a look below for the system requirements for BlackBerry® Messenger
At least 4.0 MB of available application storage
BlackBerry® Device Software 5.0 or later
A wireless service data plan
You can check your wireless service provider download sit here:http://bbry.lv/ad7CII to see if there is a software update available for your device.
Hope this helps.

Email account problem 8220 pearl flip

Hi there,
Don't know if anyone can help. I recently bought 8220 pearl flip, but can't register my email account!. On the device when I get to the email setup page, it comes up with "Select an email setup option, but it only gives me one option, "Iwant to use a work email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server". There are no other choices. I don't want to do this, I just want my personal account on it.
How do I get to do this? It was simple on my Sony ericcson....
Many thanks for any help in advance.
Regards, Bill.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you will then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.

Pearl Flip wont load - Red LED blinks twice, nothing on screen

My Pearl Flip refuses to load, and the only activity it shows is the red LED blinking twice every few seconds. I have tried the following
-tried reinstalling the two most recent versions of the OS using the Blackberry Desktop Software, but the installation hangs at the point of loading the system software
-tried using the application loader, however the installation hangs at loading the system software
-tried to use JL_Cmdr to wipe the device. As far as I can tell it did not wipe it (although it doesn't really provide any errors either)
EDIT: Should also say Ive tried all the above from multiple computers and using Win7 and XP
What other methods can I try to restore this device? I appreciate any suggestions that might be out there.
Thanks!

Hey Scribs,
Welcome to the forums!
Have a look at this article for help reloading the software using loader.exe http://bbry.lv/9fsGPK If this method does not work you can try doing a reset to factory using the switch found in this article http://bbry.lv/dpNb1j

BB Pearl Flip 8230 problem with recieving phone calls

I don't know if anyone has experienced this problem with their BB Pearl Flip 8230. My problem is, when ever someone calls my 8230 and I answer the call the person making the call gets a very loud squeel as soon as I answer. It happens when I use flip open answer, when I manualy answer. I've turned down the volume and it still does the same thing. I've pulled the battery out while phone was still turned on to do hard reset still no change.
Blackberry 8230 smartphone (CDMA) v4.6.1.182 (Platform 3.3.0.64)
Hopefuly someone has an idea of whats going on, it would be nice to get it figured out.
Thanks for now
Cheers

My gf and I are have the exact same problem. It doesnt happen all the time, but it does happen frequently. Did you figure out what the problem was?
we both have the 8230 v.4.6.1.182

Int'l Travel - Charger for Pearl Flip

Pre-buying (T-mobile) questions:
BB site says flip comes with no charger. Is this true/possible?
Otherwise, any concerns I should consider for international (Europe) travel with the Flip? Can I just buy a plug adapter and not worry about currency convertors?
Also, anything anyone could volunteers about unlocking the Flip and using a local SIM card for lower call/data rates, worthwhileness of getting T-Mobile Hot-Spot service, or general thoughts on least expensive options for calling within Europe and to the US.
thank you.

I took my T-mobile Blackberry Pearl Flip to New Zealand. Used the US AC charger with a NZ plug with no problem.
I also added the T-mobile int'l data plan for that month, $20. Data was seamless, exactly like being in the US. I don't get a lot of calls, I use the phone far more for data, so I didn't worry about anyone calling me and being charged the high per-minute charge--something like $2/minute as I recall.
I did work with T-mobile before I went to unlock my phone so that I could buy a SIM card when I got to NZ. You should be able to find a wireless vendor in the airport where you land; I've heard that from many other travers, and it was certainly true in NZ. I think I purchased mine through Vodaphone, which seems to be ubiquitous. It's best to purchase the card in the counrtry you're traveling to, because they seem to be specific to a country or a region. I ended up not using the card I bought, because I was traveling with another friend so we used her T-mobile Android for voice, with the card she bought, and my phone for data. So I have a card that will work in New Zealand sitting in my desk. It doesn't work in very many other countries so I'm out of luck unless I find a friend who's going there and has a SIM phone!
More and more places around the globe have wireless, so you might want to check the number of T-mobile hotspots where you're going to see if it's worth paying for them, or if you could use wireless where you're staying.
Here's what you need to know: you can't use your regular data plan on the phone if you have a different SIM card in it. And you can't get the low phone rates if you keep in your regular SIM card. So you have to switch cards out depending on what you want to do.
A note: one feature I think the Flip is missing is the ability to turn off individual services. I'd have liked to turn off the voice feature, keeping data. On other BBs I think you can, but not on the Flip.
I hope this helps.

BB Pearl Flip initialization problems

Hi everybody,
I am new here and I would like to get some answers to my BB Pearl Flip problems.
I bought one back in March 2010. It worked well for 6 weeks, then problems started.
It either said 'initialization failed' or 'SIM card error'
I contacted my provider E-Plus and they gave me a new SIM card. Didn't help.
Another card from T-mobile works, but then it has not the Blackberry option.
Then I bought a new phone (now I have two). This phone does not work properly either.
It has four options after turning it on.
- it works fine for a while
- initialization failed
- SIM card error
- Code error (4 digit PIN code was correct)
It takes sometimes many attempts to get it working.
But when it started it does not mean it works well.
It does for a while, then suddenly it fails. Sometimes just a few seconds after it received connection and downloaded messages, somethimes while messenging, or during a call, also mostly after I hang up, or also on closing the handheld. Again 'initialization failed' or 'SIM card error' appears on the screen. So I turn it off and on again, same game again. Also after pulling out the card it is not guaranteed that it works.
I have to do that >10 times a day and it is just frustrating. Mostly because this happens when I actually use the phone. It does not fail when it is just waiting for something to happen.
I love my Pearl Flip, but this bug is annoying. I can not rely on my phone.
Can anybody help me?
Thank you and kind regards,
Very sad S.

Try resetting the device by pulling the battery while the device is powered on. Leave the battery out for about 30 seconds and then put it all back together. Once the phone resets, try to zoom or ALT-digit again and it should work. Pulling the battery usually fixes most problems with a BB.
