BlackBerry smartphones, I think that my 9900 is bricked :(

Do you have an OS downgrade on my Bold 9900, everything went very well, phone started, mise put at day of some apps in appworld, made a batterypull and now my phone is dead. The LED lights up for a few seconds, goes off, and I have a dead, white screen. Tried a bunch of different methods, including "when your device does not start, it shows any of these symptoms:

1 totally dead.

2 try to restart, LED activity only.

3 is not started, a white screen with an error message.

__________________________________________________ ________

1 damage, water is the worst enemy of delicate electronic device. Try drying with a desiccant and replace the battery. If there is no activity, you can always try the last technical pit, nothing to lose anyway.

2. your device is not able to start, something has gone wrong and the OS is corrupt.

Upgrade suggestions failed. 
Doesn't have a link, Post this thread #384.

3 geeks call this a "uncaught exception error". It's a polite way to say, the last thread has finished, OS interrupted because it is corrupt.

In many cases, the Application Loader can be used from Desktop Manager or Windows, see Ref #1 for the discussion of CrackBerry 101 .

Failure to connect, there is a final solution. Go Old Skool...

__________________________________________________ ________

The good news, from scratch, you will be returned to service in a few hours.

1. ...

2. you must install a BlackBerry OS file that is specific to your device. The original version, such as provided by the carrier, is the safe choice, but you can use a specific version of the model. It is not provided on the CD-ROM of BlackBerry, Ref: 3 links to BlackBerry download pages.

3. once the operating system has been installed, you must prepare for the device.

Select Start / computer and select the c drive icon.

Open Program Files / Common Files / Research in Motion / AppLoader.

Navigate down and delete the Vendor.Xml file.

4. you are now ready to restore your device. Check that BlackBerry Desktop Manager is NOT running. Connect the device directly to the USB port on the computer.

We are about to venture into the bowls of the beast. Windows is not suitable for this work, we'll call the interface to command line with a switch option. It was the way all the ' puters worked before Mcintosh and Windows.

Windows XP: Start / run... / command

Windows Vista: Start / control (type this into the "Start Search")

You will see a black window similar to this one. I used capital LETTERS to highlight the typed commands.

Windows Vista

Well I did it, I did connect my phone in a wall charger, left for 5 minutes, a battery icon came in the middle of the screen, and then a few minutes later, the screen and illuminated keyboard. Gave me the 507 error, and I knew I was on the right track at that time here. Connected my phone to my computer and started the Loader and I go. Phone works 100% now.

I would say thank you here, but unfortunately nobody helped me

  • Copy of blackBerry Smartphones receive messages that I've sent

    Whenever I have send an email on my phone I get a copy of it immediately... almost instantly after you send. It comes in the form of message not read myself. I clearly messed up an email affecting somewhere... It also happens if I send an email from my pc... almost instantly after you send the message on my blackberry.

    Also is there anyway to stop receiving messages "called" in my Inbox on my pc? whenever I have a message from my blackberry the confirmation message "delivered" appears in my Inbox on my pc.

    Thanks in advance,

    Mike

    Wow... it sounds as if you have an old configuration of GMail in BIS... see this article:

    • KB10332 Duplicate sent email message arrives on the BlackBerry smartphone when sent using a built-in Gmail account

    This problem was actually fixed several months ago... If you configure your GMail account to provide IMAP and then delete and recreate your conduit BIS, it shouldn't be a problem. There are all kinds of improvements through the last sheet of GMail in (I have not tried, btw - I use the application add-on GMail rather than BIS for my GMail accounts).

    With respect to the acknowledgement of receipt that you get - you must go to the configuration of your BB Messages and which turns off:

    • Home screen > Messages > BBKey > Options > e-mail settings > (choose the GMail account if you have several) > delivery confirm > set on no.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • BlackBerry smartphones, I think I nuked my curve

    I was updating my curve using the new version of the Desktop Manager, and everything seemed to unfold.  At the end of the process I got an error message and my BB screen was white with, I think, a circle, triangle and the heart.  They had a line through them with a message 507.

    I looked at the message 507 and deleted my vendor.xml file and tried to reload everything using the apploader.  That did not work.  Now, my screen is black but the light flashes red continuously two times all the seconds.

    When I try to use the apploader or remove applications in Office Manager appears a little box that says PIN: and the password.  Section PIN allow me to type in my PIN code and it is empty.  It doesn't let me do something beyond this screen and I'm stuck here.

    Suggestions that you guys could give would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Map of blackBerry Smartphones media encryption - device "BOLD" 9900

    I am faced with a message "Media Card is secured by another device. Can't access encrypted files "."

    What is strange, is that I have no multimedia card installed on the Bold 9900, only the built-in device storage. The message started to happen when I take a picture - I can't even save any picture on the device at all. But when I used the 9900 wasn't a problem. I don't have photos, music or other media stored on the unit in any case. I can only assume it came to the subject of the sync or back upward. But I have no recollection of which allows a guarantee nor any idea how to disable this 'security' at all.

    Any guidance appreciated!

    Problem solved. Open Storage Options, device, clicked on the Total space key and blackberry for the drop-down list that allowed me to "Format" the storage of the unit.

    Camera function now allows images to be saved again on the device.

    Thank you

  • BlackBerry smartphones is thinking of getting a BB BOLD 9000 - Please HELP!

    I am in need of a new mobile device so I thought I'd do a BB Bold 9000 or iPhone 3 g. I noticed more people seem to use BB on iPhone and all my friends are making a for the text of BB so I thought I'd get too. [There are a few things I would like to know from the users of this device before I decide to buy so I would really appreciate if someone could help me with a few questions:]

    1. do YouTube, BBC iPlayer and other video streaming websites works on BB Bold 9000 and play smoothly? (especially YouTube!)

    2. can I use all of the features of the BB without being on a BB Internet Plan?

    (I'll get a unlocked and be on PAYG with internet unlimited, I'll use the web versions of Hotmail to display my e-mail address, but if I wanted to set up an e-mail account of BB, would this be possible?)

    3. What is the maximum of the expandable memory of the BB Bold 9000 will recognize?

    4 will be all the apps in the BB App store be available to buy even if I live in the United Kingdom?

    5. is the web browser that is stable when connected via Wi - Fi?

    [That's all I can think of at the moment, any response would be much appraciated as mentioned:]

    Thank you, Natalie

    1 Youtube works on BlackBerry as long as the device has the latest version of the operating system software.

    2. you may not use all the features of BB without a data plan.  To be honest, you can be quite disappointed with a BB if you don't have a data plan.  NO e-mail without data plan.  You will be able to view web pages if you have a wifi connection, but that's all.

    3 depends on the device and the OS version but more support up to 16 or 32 GB cards.  However, cards are only for the media and could not install applications on the card.

    4. applications are available for purchase in AppWorld, but you need a BB data plan.

    5. Yes, but what if all you do is navigation and you compare to the iPhone then you may be disappointed.  If you do not have a BB data plan, it is possible, that you would be happier with an iPhone because everything most of its features work on a wifi connection.

  • Problem blackBerry Smartphones have with my BB 9900

    Hello

    If you can help me please I am owner of a blackberry since 2005, now I own bb bold 9900, and I have a problem.

    When I try to do a picture with the flashlight the phone restarts, if I make the photo without the flashlight, its ok, but with the flashlight, it's a problem, can you help me solve the problem?

    Thanks, Guy

    It looks like to of the LED high output intensity. It could very well be a battery problem, but if the problem persists with the connected device or with a different battery, it's most likely a bad flash led or an electrical problem on the motherboard.

  • BlackBerry smartphones free booster that works?

    I just bought my first Blackberry I've ever owned, and although I have a gift for getting around any new electronic device I buy, there are a lot of areas where I could improve my knowledge when it comes to these phones. I have a Blackberry Curve 8530 and I would like to know if anyone knows of a free battery booster application that actually works? The ones I used here have not really worked. Someone please give me the answer if you have. I would be grateful any good knowledge that anyone can have. Thank you
    Oh Yes. I love my phone. Addicting.

    Is there really such a thing? Certainly we all want more than power, but a stack has a finite amount of energy. Just like baldness cures and male enhancement drugs there are many claims, but little results.

    More realistic would be the battery management and power. The battery on my curve light is more of a * beep * of a real power indicator light. I bought the app called boss of power for $0.99. It tells you your actual power level and how long some functions will run to the power current level. 30% and 20% popup tells your stats. 10% phone normally turned off its radio. Power boss can during the trip that work and leave your shipment one more e-mail, text, etc... That can be useful in a pinch.
    Since the installation of this power management application, I jump my battery much less and use the power I have more effectively.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones icons on the homescreen 9900 Bold

    How do I move icons on the main screen on Bold 9900 device so when I turn on the camera icons appear. Currently, I have to press the arrow in the Middle at the bottom of the screen and drag upward to get the icons appear.

    First of all, you can control how many lines appear on your home screen when you turn it on.  The number of default rows is one, but if you put your finger on the arrow and drag it to the top (like you did), however several lines that you drag to the top of will remain whenever you turn on your phone.

    If you want to lower the maximum number of lines, say maybe two only are needed, get the screen filled with the arrow at the top.  Then, highlight an icon with your cursor, press the menu key and select move then move the icon near top, even above the row.  Once you have the icons you need laid out near the top, you can drag the arrow down to hide all rows that fall below your selected icons.

    I hope that helps you.

  • Parental control of blackBerry Smartphones No. on BB Bold 9900

    Hello. My step daughter bought a new BB Bold 9900 (2nd hand) by his father.  She came home and her mother and I want to set parental controls, but there aren't any.  As in, the app to make settings in the options - isn't there!  I can't find anything on the net and wonder if his father bought a dud!

    Hey jobarkeruk,

    Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

    Thanks for the question.

    Parental control is an additional free download.  You can install it here, or via BlackBerry World: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/122199/

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    See you soon.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones, it shows that I have notifications... but it says that there is.

    I have a Bold 9650 and the envelope of notification will not go away.

    I tried to re-start it by downloading an application and then restart the system but nothing works.

    So basically... I see the envelope at the top of the screen, I see a number (2), but when I try to see what the notification is... He says "you currently have no notification."

    Very confusing.

    Go to your main message folder, press the BB Menu button and select search by > advanced, and then under the show section, select no read only, then search.

    This will pull up all messages unread on your BlackBerry. Alternatively, you can also simply browse your main Inbox of Messages. It is possible that you may have missed two messages, or you scored two messages as unread by accident.

    I hope this info helps!

  • BlackBerry smartphones, I think I messed up my phone

    Hey everybody,

    So, today I pluged in my BB tour to see if there was any software updates.  There is not, but I decided that I might as well clean up some of the apps I never use.  So I deleted the and had my phone re boot, but when he turned to the screen is not displayed:

    BlackBerry platform 4.1.0.70

    BrickBreaker

    MemoPad

    Options

    Saved messages

    All displayed almost as plain text.  No graphics, nothing.

    The menu button does nothing either.

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    The current theme you were using at the time could have deleted.

    The appliance reboot and everything on the screen is gray?

    You can just re - connect to Desktop software and reinstall those applications that you deleted.
