    I've tried to search and look through the forums for this but didn't see anything unless I'm stupid. I'm trying to upgrade my friends phone to a beta software and anytime we plug in the phone windows gives me a message that says the device has malfunctioned and it won't connect. I've tried restarting the computer, doing a battery pull but nothing helps. One time I left it plugged in while I restarted the computer and it finally let me charge it and let me turn on mass storage but still won't connect to desktop manager.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    You're talking about 8520, right? Not 8250. Well, what kind of computer OS do you have? There's some issue using Desktop Manager on Windows 7 because for some reason, it won't install the right drivers for BB phones.

    Windows XP should run Desktop Manager without any problem. And the posted replies above might work, you can try downloading the drivers manually.

    I had the same issue with my 8520 and DM not recognizing it on XP...i reinstalled the DM about 4 or 5 times, then i finally gave in and had to restore my comp back to factory and it worked! (had an external drive to load all my files and things on b4). everytime i connected my berry to my comp, the comp recognized it, but i couldn't load any apps to it or connect to DM, so if all else fails, you should restore the comp!
