Take the battery out and plug it to the pc and see if it recognizes it.

how can i reload the new operating system and then put all my device back on e.g. bb contacts and memos etc?? and my third party apps?

Before you go an wipe your phone, change the battery back again. The symbol you saw was a dead battery symbol. This happens for a number of reasons.

- a dead battery
- a flat battery
- a confused phone that just needs an hours charging and it will recover

Please try this before you go and wipe all your information.

You may have to wipe anyway but this is worth a try first.

Here is how u can reload the OS BlackBerry 101: How to Reload the Operating System on a Nuked BlackBerry | CrackBerry.com

i have put the battery back in and charged it
it loads up however its the same problem the phone does not work properly
it just freezes when i go on messaging or phone or anything
then app error 523 comes up

when i connect it to the pc it recognizes it for a bit and then just freezes and cant go no more it just as if its still trying to load it


can i try and backup my contacts on BBM ? before i wipe it?

my memos have been backed up via smrtguard and contacts
but that does not backup my BBM contacts
what should i do?

it is not recognizing my media card either so i cannot put them onto there
and there is no way to get it off the device?

[cutdacheck2003]

If you have bbm 5 it is linked to a certain email address that will allow you to get your contacts back.

This phone sounds like it is in trouble. If it is under warranty - and it should be, then you should ask for a replacement asap.

There are many threads for reloading the Operating System (OS) on a dead BlackBerry but if you don't feel like doing that and you can easily get a new one, I'd do that.

I am worried that this is not just an OS problem - it probably is - and the BlackBerry is actually faulty.

[Marc21]

ok sure right im going to try and reload the new OS and see what happens
im not sure if i should just get a replacement
they may issue me with one as i have insurance but it most likely will not be a new one

okwill try reload it first

Hey guys
ok so i have now wiped my device
and it shows the 507 error

hjowever i want to reload it with another carriers software as it is the newer version

i have looked at the guides

and the guides say you select the loader.exe from the program files and common files area

however i am wondering as i downloaded the new carrier software and it is its own .exe? do i select that instead?

as when i select the loader.exe it tries to install the previous OS i had on before?

Thanks
