There are two methods for recovering for you to try:

One:

  • Open Blackberry Desktop Software & connect your device with the PC using the USB cable, without inserting the battery.
  • You have three Retry option, update or cancel, and then click Update.
  • Once it is at the stage of the "initialization of pocket" update, then insert the batteries.
  • If this does not work, and you get stuck on the safeguarding of social data feeds, go to the second method below.

Second:

  • Start your BlackBerry in safe mode.  Article ID: KB17877 how to start a mode BlackBerry smartphone without failurehttp://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17877
  • Connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software and allow handheld to connect. If you are prompted to update, cancel the upgrade for later.
  • IF you can not connect or your desktop software does not recognize your device in Mode safe, please follow the instructions here to force detection: Article ID: KB10144 how to force detect the BlackBerry smartphone using the Application Loader
  • Go to device > delete > SELECT DATA > select this option to remove the Social flow and smart card data bases and follow the rest invites you to complete.
  • Now, you can go back and click to update the device through the Desktop Manager, or restart the BlackBerry in normal mode and continue on the upgrade of the air.

    Yes, you can downgrade to an older version if you want.

    1 remove the newer operating system of your PC by going to control panel > Add/Remove programs. (If you never physically installed the OS on your PC, go to step 2.)

    2. next, download and install the earlier version of the operating system. Operating system blackBerry downloads

    3. install the older operating system to the computer by running (double click) the downloaded file.
    4. go into c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    5. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • Locked Smartphone blackBerry data plan

    Hello

    I recently received as a gift a blackberry phone that was bought from another country (Vodafone Spain). The phone is not sim locked and my Orange prepay sim worked flawlessly until I activated the data of Blackberry for the pre-payment plan.

    The problem is that I paid for the service of bb does not work (edge lowercase + receive not hosting routing tables)-I tried the battery pull, whipe, reinstall the os, etc. and eventually I wrote an e-mail to Vodafone Spain on this issue but have not yet received a response.

    After talking to my Orange dealer I was informed that the dealer of Vodafone Spain has remove my blackberry to their service of bb. If they refuse to help is there another solution to this problem, I ran through?

    Sorry for my bad engRish.

    They must remove the PIN/IMEI of their user database, there is no other solution.

    The device thinks it is still in use on the previous user account.

    I defined the device password, I'd remove it. However, when I go through the menu option "Password" the password "Enabled" field is colored light gray and small lock is displayed. I can't edit this field, no matter what I try.

    Suggestions how to remove?

  • Smartphones blackBerry locked to the network abroad

    Hi have a unlocked backberry "BOLD"

    Since work in Romania, it has decided to register as a local handset and my UK sim original works.

    It is the second "BOLD" BB happened this hs?

    How can get to sign up to the correct network. tried all the tricks of sndard (Please note I've worked for the Orange for BlackBerry helpdesk, so I'm not a novice)

    NOW, you get a place... specific details. Ok.

    You return to the United Kingdom (you didn't before) and that you try now the card SIM of Orange we.

    The device is not "locked" to the previous mobile operator that you refuse to name.

    It 'the Romanian provider' has not just out the PIN from your old account. Everything you need to do is call them and as long as the former account holder, give out the PIN for the account. This kind of things happen every day, you can find hundreds of messages in the forum about this. The main reason that a provider cannot release the ANKLE is if the account were left unpaid.

    Anyway, there is nothing that RIM can do, or someone in this forum, now that you have explained it more clearly. You must call the Romanian supplier without a name.

    Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way:

    With the BlackBerry powereddevice, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this way is prescirbed for most the gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.
    Now repeat your locking/unlocking.
