I tried to upgrade my sisters Pearl 8110 to the OS 4.5. Everything was fine until I realize the OS was for a 8330 not for a 8110. Now the phone does not turn on, the only thing on is the LED on red. Can this be fixable? Can you guys tell me what to do? Not even the computer detects the phone when I plug in the USB cable!!!

You cannot load an 8330 OS onto an 8110. Pull the battery from the device for 30 seconds put the battery back in and see if it boots.

If you cant get it to register on the computer do this:


Pre-Wipe Tasks

1. Download and install Jl_Cmder to your PC (Jl Commander)

2. Make sure ALL your data (i.e. contacts, appointments, memos and etc) are backed up or synced before proceeding! This will wipe everything off of the device

3. Make sure you have the latest version of both Desktop Manager and the Handheld OS installed on your PC. If you need them then download them from here:

4. From the PC navigate to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file vendor.xml

If you have never installed the Handheld OS before then the vendor.xml file will not be on the PC and you can skip this step

5. Plug the device into the PC using the USB cord and make sure Desktop Manager is closed

6. Remove the battery from the device
Wipe The Device

1. Wipe the device using Jl_Cmder

This may take several attempts to connect to the device, so keep trying until it connects and wipes

2. The device will reboot to a white screen with a '507' error

If the device will not connect and wipe after several attempts then please follow the instructions here:

1. Disconnect the device from the PC

2. Download and install Desktop Manager and the Handheld OS to the PC (if they have not already been installed):

2a)

I can't wipe the phone because the computer is not detecting the phone, therefore I can't save any information on the phone!!!
