My Curve is constanty rebooting. I think its toast. Any suggestions? I have tried to wipe it using Jl Cmder. No luck.

[sunkast]

More information would be useful. How did it start? Why did JL CMDER fail?

[wyotod]

I was on ESPN looking as some NFL scores when the problem started.

The Jl Cmder would not connect and wipe.

After that I followed some instructions to go directly to the app loader through the command prompt in DOS. It gets about half done and the Curve restarts and immediately goes into constant reboot mode.

The error says: Unable to reconnect to the device during a multi-stage load operation.

[sunkast]

So then is there still an OS on your phone? If you can get to the BB browser, try clearing the cache and cookies. It could be that a bad javascript from ESPN is running amok.

[wyotod]

It never makes it to any screens, it can't get past the boot up.

[sunkast]

Wipe the device and reload the OS is your only option then.

Any suggestion on how to wipe the Curve?

Wipe if you can, but when I had the problem the USB connection would come and go and not last long enough for a handshake.

I fear you may need to travel down this path

Here's some info thanks to Reed McLay

Thread moved.... device issue, not AT&T related.

I see I posted some above and I was just posting on another thread http://forums.crackberry.com/f52/wha...-anyone-95755/ again as well.

I just posted the following there as well:

I have a BB Pearl that I was unable to revive after many attempts and much discussion in the How to recover a dead Blackberry thread which I posted above. After all my up down sideways wipe attempts it just ends up in a constant reboot cycle. I have the plan to give it another run using CrackUtil in the process as I read that in (I believe the aforementioned thread as something to try.)

and here's a jump to # 121 http://forums.crackberry.com/f3/how-...tml#post722848

to name a few. I know some have dead ended and some have been able to finally recover their Berries. So, my next surgical tool I'm planning to apply is CrackUtil http://forums.crackberry.com/f35/crackutil-85617/

Also, if you post your specific problem on "How to recover a dead blackberry" Reed McLay will likely chime in and might be able to offer more help.

If you go to search forums / advanced search / key word search / search by title and type "nuked" you'll get some hits too that may or may not help.
maybe this search result is retained in this link http://forums.crackberry.com/search....archid=6475252

I feel your pain, it would be nice to revive the BB.

Maybe worst case is the BB is truly bricked and it's a hardware issue. Even with all the time I already spent a few months ago on that Pearl, I'm still willing to try again.

Hope something works out for you

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently RIM knows there is an incompatibility with most T-mobile 8320 curves and the 4.5 OS.

After trying everything, I got free tech support from RIM that's normally $50/hr by calling through t-mobile blackberry technical support and requesting it.

The SOLUTION is to reinstall the 4.2.2.180 OS.

That solves the problem, no more constant reboot.

I was soooo mad, especially after 30 hours of troubleshooting (not including sleep).

I have the file on my computer if anyone needs to acquire it; just tell me how to distribute it.

I'm so glad you were able to correct the error!! Congrats

I'm experiencing the same thing....except i am using an unlocked tmo 8320 and can't call tmo for support. i would love a copy of the earlier OS.

I'm a newbie myself and don't know how to suggest sending it. Crackberry community....any suggestions?

[fastcivic416]

i'm having the same issue. its in constant reboot mode. won't stay on for more than 30 seconds without it rebooting. does anyone have the 4.2 os?

does anyone know how to stop the phone from rebooting long enough so i can do a complete wipe via bbsak?

[ve2vfd]

Darn, thats good to know (after having tried several flavors of 4.5 on my 8320...)

I wish they could get it to work though, it's a pain not being able to view HTML in emails...

This might be my problem. I LITERALLY just got my phone back from Sprint who said it was fixed. This is the week from **** on this phone. Started on Monday, they replaced the phone and all was well for about a couple of hours. It's since been rebooting without my touching it. I'm beginning to think it's an OS problem, but I don't know how to downgrade. I'm on 4.5.013. Problems JUST started. Can anyone help me before I just cry?
