- jeffhRetired ModeratorYou've got a corrupted OS. The fix is to wipe and reload. Here's how: http://forums.crackberry.com/f3/how-...ckberry-32322/12-14-08 11:52 PMLike 0
- Ok but the problem with that method is that I can't get my BB to load up, so my computer doesn't detect it when i connect it. Also, the part where it says "Windows XP: Start / Run... / Command" does't make sense, can you explain that? Because you can't just type "command" into Run.12-15-08 09:48 AMLike 0

Reed addresses your first question later in his thread. Read through it all. Sometimes you have to reinstall DM to get it to recognize your BB.12-15-08 12:50 PMLike 0 - Can someone please help me?
Jl_Cmnder doesn't work, it says "the system is not suitable for MSdos".
Using desktop manager to reload the OS doesn't work because everytime I try it, the red LED light starts blinking in the middle of the process and freezes it up and it says its unable to complete the operation.
Using the App Loader doesn't work because of the exact same reason i said for the desktop manager.
I am using a proper cable that came with the blackberry, it is plugged directly to the usb im not using a hub. and I have tried connecting with the battery and without the battery.
I have read as much as I can on the internet and every single thing just keeps saying to hook it up to the computer and run the app loader. WELL IT DOESN"T WORK
there has got to be a way to fix this....its a $400 piece of equipment and it literally broke from nothing. i put it in my pocket and when i took it out it didnt work. i didnt bump into anything or drop it....so wtf rim...
if anyone can please help me figure wtf is going on it will be greatly appreciated12-18-08 01:06 PMLike 0 - I had a similar problem after downloading a software from Blackberry site. I was told the third party software most likely crashed the phone. So they replaced it with a new one.12-26-08 09:07 PMLike 0

- jeffhRetired Moderator*sigh* I'm in the same boat. It will sometimes turn on when it's hooked up to the charger but as soon as I press a button it shuts of and I get the blinking light. 2 blinks, 3 blinks, 2 blinks, 3 blinks, over and over again. I've done the procedure to restore the battery that was linked and even that didn't work. I deleted my desktop manager and my handheld software and reloaded them both. I even bought a new battery. I'm pretty sure I'm just screwed. It was only a year old to
You may have to try it more than once to get the App Loader to work. Don't give up yet.01-13-09 09:29 PMLike 0 -
Now it's blinking at me again. I give up
Thanks for your help though!!01-14-09 09:30 PMLike 0 - Have you loaded a completely new OS? I had this same problem and all I had to do was delete my DM, completely remove the OS on my phone, load a later version, and add my contacts and extra apps individually instead of through the DM. I think it was an app that I added. It could also have been that I had a lot of ring tones, pictures, music, and movies. Too much memory used and the auto clean up was disabled. Its worked like a peach since!
Let me know how that goes. Don't download any themes or anything until its been up and running for a full 24 hours with no glitches (battery pulls are a part of everday BB life LOL so a battery pull is fine to do within the 24 hours. If the screen stays black after you do a battery pull and the light starts blinking then its something with the hardware)01-15-09 01:02 PMLike 0
