I got the dreaded APP 523 Reset error. I was at home, luckily and was able to wipe the phone by entering my password incorrectly on the computer. However, if I am on the road, how do I wipe the phone completely away from a computer if I am stuck in that APP 523 RESET?
I had treo, and to wipe it you reset it while holding the red button, but I can"t find any info on how to do it with a BB.
I did the battery pull when the APP 523 Reset error appeared, but it just went right back to the error. My point is, if i am on the road, and away from my computer, is reloading the OS the only way to restore the blackberry? There is no sequence of button presses to manually erase the device? With a Palm Treo, if you had a fatal reset or loop like that, you held the power button down while you replaced the battery. The device would wipe itself and restore itself to factory settings. At least you will have a useable phone while on the road. That's what I need to know how to do on a Balckberry.
Yipes. Hope this never happens again while traveling. I did read that the error occurs when you receive a MMS and you have 3rd prty themes installed. So I blocked incoming MMS as this error occured right after someone sent me and mms. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
