CrackBurglar's Custom Storm OS load - Page 9

Crackburglar - Many thanks to this awesome set of instructions. I've used it 3 times now to install a leaked OS (.230 last night) and it has never failed. Last night, I was loading it to my bricked 9530 (was running .167 and just bricked....no idea why). I followed the BlackBerry 101 instructions on CB for how to deal with a bricked BB and they seemed to work OK, except for two small difference. When I connected to my 9530, it didn't flash to 'USB-UNKNOWN', it immediately picked up my PIN. I hit next and it went on with the install (got hung up during last step so I disconnected, did a battery pull, reconnected and it went through again). The other difference was that it never went all the way through either time, it seemed get hung up at the very end. I disconnected after the second time and everything appeared to be normal and it's running fine today, so I assume all is well.

In any event, every time I've upgraded my OS, I lose my tasks and memos. Do I follow your instructions for a 'partial restore'? I've never tried that, but it's a pain that I lose all my tasks. Also, I had several categories and groups set up for my contacts (and tasks), which are all now gone as well. I also lose contacts and the calendar, but I get those back via googlesync.

So, here are my questions:
1. How do I restore my task list?
2. How do I restore memos for memo pad?
3. How do I restore categories for my contacts?
4. How do I restore groups for my contacts?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

It's the bomb!

Thanks. I plan on trying the 5.0.0.230 over the weekend...it'll be fun.

i was updating my phone and everything was going smooth until it just stopped on task in progress (11 of 11); restore progress; database service books. it hasn't made any progress in a little over 30 minutes. i don't know what to do considering you aren't supposed to disconnect the blackberry. any help will be greatly appreciated

i would unplug and replug the BB. Chances are your restore is toast.

Then you should either try the restore from loader backup, or try a custom restore.

The instructions are also in the original document.

Amazing instructions, just used this to load 5.0.0.230 and all I can say is that these instructions were flawless. Thanks again Jim.

i updated my tour to 5.0.0.230 but now when i connect the bb to the computer i get a message saying...
"usb charging current is not sufficient. verify that your handheld is connected to a powered usb charging source and that the proper usb driver is installed".
it isn't detected by desktop manager. any ideas of what to do?

alright, thanks anyway but heres a storm question...

i got my replacement storm today and i connected it to my computer. it is recognized on desktop manager but i cant access it through my computer (the device memory and the media card). any insight on this?

Hit the BB button, options, memory, check that mass storage mode is ON, and check that Auto Enable Mass Stogare Mode is set to "YES".

If they both are set correctly, set them to "Off" and "NO" then save out, and go right back into memory and set to "On" and Yes".

Let me know how that goes.

Ry- I've transferred your question to :http://forums.crackberry.com/f86/ask...council-327192

it's a consortium of the best and brightest help on the storm site. Frankly i'm stumped as to what might be wrong. Maybe another of the experts will know.
