    First off, the BB needed to be unlocked to be able to be used on AT&T, before you attempted to reload an OS to it.

    Which OS are you trying to load to the T-Mo BB?

    i did unlock it. it was working perfectly with my att sim, minus the internet.. wen i took it to the att place they told me it couldnt be done...


    they told me to download the newest os.

    8320EastAsia_PBr4.5.0_rel174_PL2.7.0.92_A4.5.0.124 _Indosat

    thats the one i downloaded.


    every time i try to upload the new on the DM it works until the says connecting to boot the COM. then my screen goes all white n it disconnects from my computer.. n i have to take out the battery for it work again.. to just have a white screen with a little box.

    Which version of DM are you using, 4.7?

    If you are using DM 4.7, I would remove it from your PC with Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs then download/install DM 4.6

    Try reinstalling the OS with DM 4.6 instead.

    Actually, the process of loading an OS onto your blackberry involves the white screen with the little box, and a disconnect from your computer for a while. It is essential that you "walk away" and leave it in this process until it is completely done loading the new OS. I suspect you interrupted the normal process, and that is the trouble you are having.

    Everything is normal except for the fatal error part. The OP mentioned it.

    it still doesnt work. i downloaded the other dm.
    and im trying to do it like this.. /forums.crackberry.com/f3/how-do-i-recover-dead-blackberry-32322/


    & every time my phone says trying to connect to the USB:-PIN:??? w.e my phone screen goes completely white. no little box. and i get this message:

    "A connection to the device could not be established. Please ensure that the device is properly connected to the cradle or USB cable, and that the cradle or USB cable is connected securely to your computer. Also ensure that the device has completed any startup operations. Then run the Application Loader Wizard again."



    wen that happens i have to take out the battery for it come back on to the white screen with the little box.


    do i have upload like the 1st os n then just upgrade? i really have no idea what else i can do..
