BBE100-3- How do I reinstall the operating system?

a guy i work with bought blackberry bbe100-3 (which in reading articles is apparently impossible to find info on) off of amazon. it wasnt receiving texts and the bootloader was unlocked so i just wanted to start fresh. I followed some post on here to update the OS (sorry i dont remember which one, I have been to so many i cant keep track) and now I am in a bootloader loop. I think i am looking for acb168 to put back on it...but can't seem to find it anywhere. Admittedly I dont really know what I am doing. Please help bc I broke a phone and it's not even mine!!

Then I can help you.

Ok. Then it's best to use the Mobile Upgrade Tool from your PC. Stay at the bootloader menu. The device will be wiped.

sorry this might be a duplicate message - I tried that yesterday and again today for good measure. It gets stuck at 20% and says "there is no greater software available to upgrade your phone, actual version of your phone is the latest"

I forget the interface, as it's been a while. Is there not an option to reload?

In the meantime I'll make an autoloader for you later.

And you're certain you have a KEY² LE? Because you posted in the KEYᵒⁿᵉ forum. Just making sure.

If so, what is the PRD?

I honestly have no idea what this thing is! but i think you are right and i posted in the wrong place (sorry about that). I believe it is a key2LE. It is a BBE100-3, PRD-65003-702.

This might be a bit of a process.

Try this one:

Note that it might ultimately be impossible as this model was never even released, so there is very little to work with.

Ok. That's the info I actually needed.

Although it may be impossible to find Chinese signatures for this OS.
