Bricked 8220

**ralarosa** · 01-02-2010, 07:17 PM

Okay, it's been a while since I've been here (guess that means I haven't had any trouble). My wife's 8220 was/is bricked. It started with a JVM error (incompatable software - I forget the number.)

Using JL_Commander I've been able to get to "Reload Software 507". Been trying different methods to load the OS. When I enter the Javaloader command "javaloader -u load net_rim_cldc.cod"

I receive the following:

RIM Wireless Handheld Java Loader
Copyright 2001-2008 Research In Motion Limited
Connected
Loading net_rim_cldc 710808 of 1596300 bytes
debug: Port closed
Error: timeout waiting for response from device
0 bytes sent at ~0 bps
debug: COM error during Send: (0x80004005)
Disconnected

Any thoughts?

Oh - I'm trying to install the last TMO approved OS - 4.6.0.180.

Thanks and Happy New Year!

You have tried the reboot and "catch" it when the computer first sees the pin method?

No need. The phone is detected right away.

Yep, tried all the usual stuff, deleted the vendor.xml, tried several PC's, different versions of DM,, etc. All the tricks I have found here, on pinstack and blackberryforums.com. Guess I will keep plugging away.

I have an 8220 Flip and it USE TO have the same problem.

I then updates the OS and it worked fine.

After a while, (being a PC Tweaker) the desktop software messed up and I could no longer do anything to my BB through it.

I solved this issue by completely removing the desktop software and re-installing it. That solved the issue.

Also, if something fails on the desktop software, un-select any applications that are not neccessary; ONE AT A TIME and reloading. If that fails,de-select another and reload.

Hope this helps.
