My Storm 2 is not doing so well!!
- Hey everyone,
I just connected my Storm 2 and went to do a sync, it told me that there was some new updates..i complied..the only problem now is that my storm is frozen on a white screen with Reload Software:507 printed in the middle!!
Did a quick search here but havent had luck, was wondering if someone has had the same problem and would be kind enough to help me out?
Thanks alot everyone,04-17-10 04:00 AMLike 0 -
- Use BBSak to Wipe device and reinstall the OS.

Anyway, the problem is that i cant make my storm connect with my mac now because it doesnt have an OS. So i am stuck at this stage..luckily i still have my trusty old Bold and was able to transfer or restore my info to that machine but in the mean time i have no idea where to go from here.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
thanks again04-17-10 03:50 PMLike 0 -
- Hi Paul,
thanks for the info, didnt work unfortunately ahhh i will keep researching and see if i can find a solution..could there have been something corrupt in the update, like a trojan or virus that did this? If there was its not a good thing as it could affect lots of users. Up to that, i have never had any problems, so its weired!!!04-18-10 12:20 AMLike 0 -

If u absolutely cannot get it up n running take it to the store. I did once a while back because I was new to BB n couldn't figure it out for the life of me. Long story short I brought it and in a matter of 25 Minutes my phone was up amd running. (I would only suggest this if all else fails Cuz I know it can be a hassle and there are some great threads on here about this issue). Good luck!

- I think everyone is missed reading that the OP has a Mac. None of the options for recovering a bricked storm will work on the Mac.
The only choice is to find someone with Windows or if it's an Intel Mac, setting up a dual boot with Windows. Verizon won't help either, as they will not reload a bricked storm. They will however replace it under warranty.04-18-10 08:16 PMLike 0 - I think everyone is missed reading that the OP has a Mac.

The latest is,,I spent all of last night trying the un-brick method as Gnomad suggested and although it seemed like it was going to work, alas, the carrot is still dangling infront of me!! Basically, i followed the instructions Gnomad and i get as far as the loading of the OS. It just seems to freeze on about 80% of the download on the desktop manager side..the storm turns off and then comes back on and just displays the battery with the line through it. I left it like that all night after trying to unplug then replug at least a hundred times!! But it just stays there and goes nowhere!!
I also managed to try using windows and BBSAK..again to no avail. So I will keep trying for a bit longer and hopefully something will work..
Thanks again and i will keep you all updated04-19-10 05:20 AMLike 0
