BlackBerry Curve 8520 App Error 52
Hello, I have a BlackBerry Curve 8520 on Snow Leopard using the latest BB software and it is bricked with App Error 523.
I attempted to use these steps to reload the OS, but I can't get past the battery icon. It just sits there and does nothing. No Desktop Manager, no errors, just endless battery icon.
What do I do? - 05-03-2011, 09:28 PM #2
Use Windows and follow the procedure given here.

Thanks for your responce, but I'm stuck at step 2: "# have the BlackBerry Operating System you want to install/reload onto your Nuked BlackBerry installed "
I can't find anywhere to download OS5. Blackberry.com will only let me update directly to the phone.
I was going to try a torrent site, but I didn't know if just any version will work or if I needed a specific build for my device. - 05-03-2011, 10:52 PM #4 Are you running Windows? It will not work on OS X.

No, I've got my hands on a pc for a limited time. I've got the Desktop software, but not the OS. I cannot find a download link anywhere.

It's a t-Mobile phone. I got it this way. I plan to unlock it and use Airvoice.
- 05-03-2011, 11:23 PM #8 Is T-Mobile your current carrier? Originally Posted by IOS --Laura Knotek (formerly known as lak611)

No, I have Airvoice.
If you're asking what's on the phone, it says T-Mobile on the bottom. - 05-03-2011, 11:36 PM #10
The latest OS is actually from AT&T. You can get it here
Since AT&T is not your carrier, you will need to delete the vendor .xml file. http://forums.crackberry.com/f86/upg...or-xml-204136/
Here is a good guide.Last edited by lak611; 05-03-2011 at 11:39 PM.

My God, it worked. Thanks lak!
Hey buddy, since I used the ATT firmware, I need an ATT unlock code and not a T-Mobile right?Last edited by IOS; 05-04-2011 at 02:34 AM.
