Still freezing up after security wipe ?

Greetings all,
Despite performing a security wipe I am still experiencing constant freezing of my phone, especially with the calendar.  I suspect it may be an application that is causing the issue.  During backup and restore I didn't delete any applications.
Any suggestions ?  Thanks in advance.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If indeed you suspect an app, then you can try removing them one by one until the behavior clears. But, be aware that if the app caused OS level corruption, then removing the app won't cure that corruption...only a clean OS reload would do so...and that's the process I recommend you follow.
At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
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 that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then 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
Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
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 this procedure to perhaps 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.
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:

  • White screen after Security Wipe

    Hi!
    My BlackBerry 9900 has a total white screen without any error message after a Security Wipe
    after this i have downloaded Blackberry OS for 9900 and tried to load it through "Apploader" but it says that there is no BlackBerry device software installed.

    Have you tried wiping the device with a 3rd party utility like JL_Cmder?
    I recommend wiping the device OS and reloading from scratch
    Download JL_Cmder (linked below.) Unzip and install to your PC.
    http://www.blackberryforums.com/attachments/rim-software/19475d1318636583-jl_cmder-jl_cmder-v1.9.4.z...
    Make sure Desktop Software is closed.
    Connect the device (if Desktop Software opens again, close it.)
    Run JL_Cmder and select the option to Wipe the device.
    The screen will turn red and ask you to type blackberry to confirm.
    When it's done the device should restart and come up with an Error 507. This error just means the device has no OS installed.
    Reinstall the OS:
    1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use (you don't have to use your own carrier--any carrier will work.)
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    2. Download the OS file from step 1 to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    3. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Also check the following locations for vendor.xml files and delete any instances of the file:
    On Windows Vista/7 navigate to C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (Where "YOUR_USER" is your username)
    On Windows XP navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (Where "YOUR_USER" is your username)
    4. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on Loader.exet; It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader

  • Desktop Manager Not Working After Security Wipe

    I had to do a security wipe on my Tour to fix a problem I was having with the Bluetooth on my phone (which surpisingly worked!).  However, now when I try to sync my phone with my computer, Desktop Manager has a problem.  When the program gets to synching my calendar, Desktop Manager stops working.  The screen goes white, and I get a message saying that it has stopped working.  I tried clicking the Debug button, but it didn't do or tell me anything.  It seems to fail when it gets to item 26 of 191 in my calendar (from the status bar that appears when synching), but I have no idea what that item is.  Any ideas as to why this is now happening or how I get figure out what calendar item might be causing the problem?  Thanks.

    Interesting!
    May have to hop on the mobile network if possible.. I'm not sure if you can register over WiFi with you being in a different country, but we can try a few steps.
    Register on Network
    1. From the device go to Options
    2. Select Advanced Options
    3. Select Host Routing Table
    4. Select menu, then 'Register Now'
    Send Service Books
    call your carrier and ask them to resend your service books.

  • Need help restoring data after security wipe - Urgent!

    Hello,
    I am in need of urgent help.
    I had saved some really important information in the memos of my blackberry curve 8520. After that I changed my phone to a non-blackberry phone. but I still had the old phone but it was kept off most of the time. I had backups from June 13, 2013. very recently I wiped the phone. (Very big mistake) Now I am in need of that information that I had saved in the memos. Now when I visit the blackberry protect website through my laptop it shows that the back up is there with 15 memos and many other things. but when I open the app of blackberry protect on my phone it shows that there are no previous versions of backup available to restore. 
    Now please tell me and help with this. I badly need the information that I have stored in the memos of this earlier back up version.
    Another thing I have noticed is that there is a problem in the link between BB Protect website and the BB Protect app on my phone. For example, if I click on "Play Sound" or "Display a message" on the BB Protect website, it tries to communicate with the device and then waits for the device to respond and then it fails to do the function clicked.

    Hello,
    Please check very very very very (did I say that enough?) carefully that you are using the exact same BBID credentials on your new BB that you are logging into via PC.
    If they are not the same, then that explains why it cannot present you with those backups on the device...they are associated to a different BBID than you are using on your BB now. To change your BB over to the BBID that contains the backups you require, you must WIPE the BB:
    KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
    However, be very careful when you then associate the BB to that other BBID...done incorrectly, you can lose your prior backups...refer:
    KB31489 BlackBerry Protect for BlackBerry smartphones does not display any backup files to restore
    Then again, if you are using the exact same BBID on both the device as well as via PC/browser, then the method discussed in KB31489 may already have been done incorrectly, wiping out those prior backups (and there is no way to retrieve them).
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Selling 3GS wondered if iOS4 will still be installed after reset/wipe

    I have just installed iOS4 on my 3GS (absolutely love the iOS4).
    I will be selling my 3GS on to a friend shortly and getting the iPhone 4, and prior to this will be resetting/wiping the 3GS (bascially putting it back to the condition it was when it left the factory)
    When I reset/wipe etc my 3GS when I sell it, and my friend then reactivates the 3GS on his computer/iTunes. After the activation, would iOS4 be still installed on the 3GS, or would it be back to the software version that was on it when it left the factory.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the help, its much appreciated.
    I was hoping it would remain on after the reset wipe.

  • Can iPhone still be identified after remote wipe?

    Got my iPhone stolen. The person turned it off right away. So far it has been offline. I have been sending messages and locking commends through iCloud.com, but have not chosen the remote wipe option yet.
    Is it possible for a stolen iPhone be identified after restore? An iPhone has a series number, I assume iTunes would be able to identify this number somehow. Can anything be done on this front?

    Thanks for replying. The following posting by Kappy seems to be very comprehensive information posting on lost/stolen iPhones. I have tried to make sure all my Apple products are properly registered. That's step one. We will see how things go.

  • Cannot access AOL email through browser after security wipe

    ok - the blackberry is failing miserably
    first - the bluetooth isn't reconnecting to the radio to receive text messages
    the keyboard is having a hardware issue - the symbol keys appears to be taking over the n and m key
    the phone was a year old in june - 
    to try to correct this - blackberry support suggested that I back up the phone and reload the software - great did this
    then they suggested a secuirty wipe - yup - did this too
    then I restored the phone with the back up
    now when I try to log into AOL through the browser - it get to the home page, type in the passsword and get an error message.  It logs in on other cell phones - so its definitely mine.  The emails come through if I set it up on the blackberry itself
    anhy odea how to fix it before I go to bell

    That is quite interesting, I've never seen an error message start with "GAH!" before...quite interesting.
    Nevertheless, please try this. 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 (step 1 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
    2) Reboot
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. 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.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
    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.
    Good luck!

  • Freeze Up After Sleep Mode?

    After selecting the sleep mode on my eMac, the computer appears to go into the sleep mode correctly. However, when attempting to resume operation, my background picture appears, but the cursor is missing, and the computer appears to be frozen (ie: no inputs from the keyboard or trackball mouse allowed). I have to shut down the computer with the power button, and restart. Everything is then normal, until the next attempt to go into the sleep mode. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, O' computer gurus!

    The computer is still freezing up after selecting the sleep mode. What follows is (1) the console report after restart. And (2) the Console report after repairing permissions on the hard drive. Does anything stand out here?

  • Blackberry Protect and Security Wipe

    Hi! If you would like to turn off your BlackBerry Anti-theft on your device you can simply go to your Settings → BlackBerry AntiTheft and simply disable it from there. But if your device is running 10.3.2 OS then you will be asked to enter your BlackBerry ID credentials. Just enter your BlackBerry ID username and password and it will be disabled. Then to perform security wipe, I suggest back up your device first before doing so. Then when you have everything backed up go to Settings → Security and Privacy → Security Wipe It may take some time to wipe your device and expect that it needs more than 30% battery level to continue. So keep your battery charged and wait for the wipe to be completed. You may also see that your device will turn off and on a few times while performing security wipe. NOTE:To find what OS you're currently running, go to Settings → About → Tap Category → Select OS on the drop down list and check current OS. 10.3.2 OS update is very tight in security specially when your BlackBerry Anti-theft is turned on. When you perform a Security wipe, you will need to verify your BlackBerry ID credentials. Then you must enter your BlackBerry ID credentials again after security wipe. If you fail to enter your BlackBerry ID, then your device is forever locked out. This is the reason why I always advise to have t he Anti-theft turned off first. Good luck!

    Hello,
    If you are on 10.3.1 or earlier, there is no requirement to turn off Protect before a WIPE...the WIPE will remove the association between your BB device and all BB proprietary services, including Protect.
    However, if you are on 10.3.2, then indeed you need to first turn off Protect before you initiate the WIPE. Refer:Article ID: KB36737 BlackBerry Protect Anti-theft ProtectionGood luck!
