BlackBerry Curve 8520 App Error 52

[IOS]

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?

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.

Are you running Windows? It will not work on OS X.

You will need to run Windows in a virtual environment, run Windows on a BootCamp partition, or use a PC.

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.

What carrier do you have? Is the OS an official or leaked one?

[IOS]

It's a t-Mobile phone. I got it this way. I plan to unlock it and use Airvoice.

Is T-Mobile your current carrier?

[IOS]

No, I have Airvoice.
If you're asking what's on the phone, it says T-Mobile on the bottom.

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.

[IOS]

Oh ok, I will try that.

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?
