Default Still Nada
Still canīt do the trick. For some reason javaloader is not doing the job. Can it be that 10 seconds is not enough time for the program to access the phone ??? The rebooting comes every 10 seconds. I have never seen that before. I have fixed almost 20 phones that were in the same state but non of them lasted less than 30 seconds to reboot. Also I noticed that javaloader has to be done with the battery on. Without the battery on the phone it is unreachable. Any other idea ???

If you are having that trouble, then refer to the guide in my signature on how to recover a dead Berry! Works like a charm!

*EDIT* : But can we attempt to stay on-topic here. This thread is for upgrade/downgrade procedure, not recovering a dead berry (or one that is stuck in a reboot loop).

Is there any reason why during an OS upgrade I can't pull out my SIM card and put it in another phone so I can get calls and texts for the hour or so it takes to complete? Then once it is done put the SIM back in let it register, send service books and off I go?

I used to do that when I upgraded OS's on my Windows Mobile Tilt and Treo. Of course their upgrade didn't take near as long.

Thanks
Jeremy

So I'm ready to install the 4.5 beta. I read through your guide and I just have one question before I do this. I get a warning that says I will need to active the phone wirelessly to continue to send and receive messages and use other Blackberry features. Does that just mean I need to turn data connection back on as was mentioned earlier?

I am not sure what you are asking...

Please clarify what you are meaning. What steps have you completed?

Your explanation is not clear

I haven't done the upgrade yet. I started to, but once I get to the point that I have to click on Finish in the DM to start the upgrade, there is a message at the top of the screen that says "you will need to active the phone wirelessly to continue to send and receive messages and use other Blackberry features". I just wanted to know that means.

Well as you can see all is well after the upgrade. Now I'm just waiting for my first HTML e-mail.

I was surprised at how quick and painless it was. Only about 15 minutes total and I was up and running. I had heard that it could take up to 15 minutes just for the BB to reboot, but mine was almost instant once DM said it was finished.

Nice man!! Congrats... you will love it, and you will be addicted to Beta OSes now (believe me, you will always want the latest after your first plunge... it drives people insane. Around new Beta releases a lotta users get really impatient and unbearable! )
