C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research in Motion\Apploader\Loader.exe

If you hold Ctrl+r, copy/paste that into the box and hit enter it will launch apploader. Remove the x86 if you're running 32-bit Win8.

Assuming you have the device OS installed to your PC, of course.

What did you expect if you knew you had bought a "nuked" phone.

Search the forum, there are plenty of threads with various solutions that people have used to revive dead berries.
