My Contacts and App World won't open!?

Hello everyone.

I've encountered a strange problem, and probably a very rare one, as I have searched but could not find any topics similar to mine.

My Contacts and App World won't open. When I click the icon to open the apps, nothing happens. I thought it was because of my Skype and Kakao app, so I deleted those. Still nothing. So I deleted the App World and reinstalled it. Still nothing.

After many reboots and battery pulls, I'm not sure what else to do. I had this problem a few months ago, and had to just wipe the phone and start fresh. I'm hoping I don't have to do that again, as it took FOREVER to make my customizations.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Seems to me like you'll have to wipe, sorry. The only constellation I can give from my knowledge is perform a backup with BB desktop Manager. Then restore from that. Also try BB protect for just info. But I see no rememdy for it nor have I suffered from it.

NoOOOoOoOOOO!!!

I hope someone can help me out there. I'll probably wait it out a few more days before I do a wipe :(
