My Bold Needs Help.. App error 205?

[m.km]

My dad and I both have a Bold and his seems to be really screwed up right now. It shows on the screen this issue saying "App error 205" or something of the sort and I have tried restarting it, alt+sym+enter reset and pulled the battery, still nothing. Is the phone just bad?

He isn't the first to get that error plenty of people including Kevin have gotten it. You mean to say that it isn't going back to normal after the battery pull?

Yah as in it never leaves that screen, the phone is essentially useless.

The same thing happened to me after installing a few incompatible apps. Removing these apps did not fully restore the original files and settings, and the device got a bit slower, sometimes many reboots were required to get to the today screen. I removed the battery 2-3 times for 2 min, and when I the boot completed I wiped the device clean....

yeah, the app error 205 seems to be the bad news on the OS that the rogers bold shipped with (version 4.6.0.125).

upgrading to "4.6.0.134" which can be found on the next (just google what's in the quotes and you'll find a link to download it a couple posts down) seems to fix that up. download it, install on your pc, then follow the instructions for loading the os onto a nuked blackberry (don't forget to delete the vendor.xml file or it might not find the new os you're trying to load):

BUT...i found when I got the app error if i just soft rebooted a couple times again (Alt + Right Caps + Delete on the keyboard) that it would boot back up again.

I reset it three times and it didn't do anything so I put it back. I have a mac not a pc I don't know how/if you can even load the new OS on with a mac. I know how to do it on PC though, too bad PC is garbage, lol.

Interesting comments about the operating system. I just checked and mine came complete with version 4.6.0.134

Luckily I never had the problem with version 4.6.0.125, and I have upgraded to .134 and everything is even better.

[tedesco]

ohhh gotta upgrade then.

[m.km]

I wish I had .134 then I could just upgrade the OS OTA from now on. Is this not a feature now?

[nothin2seehere]

I got the 205 error after upgrading from .92 to .126 - also loads of Java exceptions. Back to .92 and, although the setup wizard still gave me Java exceptions, it is back to normal. I need to get off .92 though, so probably will wait for .134 or an official Orange .126.

Is this for all devices? Beause I have it for my Curve now and tried all steps for recovering a nuked Berry (searched heavily for the last two days; trying different things before I make an official post).

I have never gotten that error since i got my bold, hmm wierd

Then get over yourself and get a Windows virtualization running. Granted it's not the smoothest option, but it works well enough for me to install an operating system, as well as backup and mess with applications.
