    Pull out the battery and run autoloader.
    That helped me once.

    That's what you get for installing leaks and not reading.

    It needed to be said. It may have saved some future reader a bunch of hassle.

    Calm down everyone...

    OP, as far as I have seen, its pretty much impossible to completely screw up one of these devices. Just do as another poster said, plug it into a computer, run SIC if you wish, run an autoloader... Problem solved

    As you already have been advised of running the auto loader and that is all you need..

    You don't need to run SIC wipe or take out the battery.. All you have to do is run the auto loader.

    SIC wipe just wipes everything off of your phone.. it is like formatting your hard and all its partitions..
    In SIC wipe's instructions it does tell you not to worry about the blinking red.. anyway..

    Good luck..

    I have had an experience with the flashing red light, causing the autoloader not to connect. What worked for me was, removing the battery, connect the device, and click on my autoloader as soon as I put the battery back in. Good luck.

    If your device is non-removable battery, just connect the phone, run multi sic wipe, hold the power button until it restart itself, and sic will automatically wipe your device, after finishing the wipe process, red blink will happen and you can run the autoloader

    Glad you read the SIC Wipe instruction, it is mentioned not to worry if you have 2 blinking red intervals (11) means there's no OS in your phone so you can reload/upgrade your OS now.

    for OP, please see what interval is your led blinking to help finding out what's the problem.

    one of the most obnoxious comments i have ever read on someone asking for help that's just plain dumb to say.

    I've had many a similar problem, don't feel bad
    If you're getting just a single blink, or a double blink, it's fixable. Here's how I always do it:

    1. Download an autoloader for your device.
    2. Run it
    3. When it says "connecting to bootrom", hold down the power button on your BlackBerry until it restarts. The OS should load and you should be on your way.

    Thanks everyone for your kind suggestions/advices/comments,,,and for those who really offered nothing, thank you too....

    The phone is just not going off, have held the power button, volume rocker and still it refuses to go off.
    The subject phone is a blackberry Z30, so I can't pull out the battery.
    The red light blinks 6 times. Blinks one first and then another quick 5 follows.
    I can't use SIC wipe because I can't turn the phone OFF and ON.
    I'm using the photo unlock and it's very active before my phone bricked.


    I heard there's a software with which I can FORCE WIPE/FLASH and reload my phone, Please does anybody have any idea in regards.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    You don't need to remove your battery. Hold down your power button for 15-20 seconds.

    You might try to use SIC or autoloader in different computer and data cable, and as SCrid2000 says, when it says "connecting to bootrom", hold down the power button on your BlackBerry until it restarts, and release the power button when the wipe/reload process started
