A couple of days before, I Reloaded the OS. Don't remember whether or not rebooted at that time.

After 1 or 2 days, battery drained and mobile got switched off in a usual fashion. I connected charger but it got stuck on blue BB boot screen. Normally it takes a minute to boot but this time boot status progressed extremely slowly.I left it in same state for 1 hour but booting not completed. I rebooted twice but same again.

Things I tried:

1. Battery pull done.

2. Pressed and held the Power On Button until Blue BB LOGO appeared. Boot up percentage not displayed even after the long touch on blue BB icon. Tried with both charger: USB cable and Power Adapter.

3. Once again battery got drained, I connected to PC through USB. Rebooted and this time it was superfast and circular blue status bar completed in 2 sec but then got stuck. Touching screen forlong did not display % completion. Left it for long(10 hrs). Futile again.

4. BB Link not recognizing device.

No go

What else can I do before opting for Autoloader. I don't have backup

Here's a nondestructive autoloader for 2102/2141 stl100-1
(I couldn't find files for 2941/3175)
Charge your battery before you begin (if you can). If not, after running the autoload, power off your device and charge it then.

https://mega.co.nz/#!rc9zBZ6B!nynUxZ...dId3_3vO-Kzzbc

The autoloader is compressed in a 7zip archive, so you'll need to extract it first.
This next part needs to be done from windows.

After you extract it the archive, open the autoloader.
With your phone off, plug it into the computer then turn it on and the process should begin.

If you cant turn your phone off, just open the autoloader and with the phone connected via USB, force it to reboot again by holding the power button for 10 seconds. The autoloader will start when the red light turns on.

When it finishes, you phone should boot up but be extremely slow. Open device monitor and check how much available space you have. If you don't have much (less than 2gb), delete something big like box, Dropbox etc and/or clear browser "cookies and other data".

After that, use sachesi to grab the upgrade bars and install then

To grab the upgrade bars the search tab in sachesi
-Use your country and carrier OR country 520 + carrier 18 (which is dtac Thailand)
- Z10 omap or z10 stl100-1
-Upgrade
-Hit search and hit download

When the download completes, go to the install tab and side load the folder* of bar files that you downloaded

*note my.phone was ridiculously slow during the install phase and would actually stall out while loading some of the bigger files (like the android bar). To get around this, instead loading the entire folder at once, I would select all of the bars that were 15mb or less and installed those first.
After that the phone was a lot faster and was able to install the larger bars.

Thanks a lot for help. +1 for so detailed description.

Before following the complete procedure, I want to clarify some doubts:-

1. "I couldn't find files for 2941/3175" -------- what does that mean? m not clear with this.
2. Extraction (of auto-loader in 7zip format )can also be done on windows. Right?
3. What does auto-loader actually do? Complete memory format or recovery while maintaining the user files?

M gonna try now.

Hi

I followed following procedure:

Started Autoloader -> Connected Phone -> Restarted it till red light blinked -> Autoloader detected it and did some processing, LED colour turned green -> Autoloader closed -> Phone rebooted.
Extremely slow. 92% in 9 hrs. No further progress. Disconnected from Laptop USB. Left it in same state on phone-battery backup. Battery was exhausted when I returned from work. Connected again from Laptop USB. Boot not completed. Again EXTREMELY slow.

I didn't check for available space when phone rebooted after Autoloder completed its job because I have only BB device manager on my PC not BB Link. I'm sure that more than 4GB is free in my phone in built memory.

Is there anything I missed out?

nope, you did it correctly. I'm going to make a new autoloader for you with the new os 3247.
Try one more time for me.

Uploading autoload now

[Jie Z]

will the picture or files inside lost?

[nah.uhh]

will the picture or files inside lost?

Everything should remain intact

here is a nondestructive autoloader for z10 stl100-1 10.2.1.3247, hopefully this one works.

Hi

I appreciate your effort. Thanks for new autoloader.
I tried with this also. But again, after reboot it's taking lot of time.

It's been 12 hours since I rebooted but still boot not completed. Boot percentage not displayed. As I guess, Its around 92 - 95 %.

I'm not rebooting again. Waiting for completion. Fingers crossed.

[Nightfurry]

Boot not completed yet. Stuck on almost completion. 17 hrs passed

Any other alternative
feeling screwed up.

Any autoloader. Now ready to compromise data even!

If you are winning to lose your data, than yes there is another option
Sorry the Jon destructive one didn't work out
Not sure why it didn't.

Here you go :

Same procedure but using this ^ autoloader will erase everything.

Dear, I'm of course not happy with loosing all files, pics and all.
But if there is no other solution, Clean phone is better than non-working phone.

If you can still suggest any alternative, your welcome.

Sorry boss, I'm out of ideas.
If you do end up starting from fresh, I'd recommend

1. Run the autoloader (some residue will be left behind, like device password and learned words) this should take 15 minutes max from start to when the device finished booting.

2. Run a security wipe (to clear the residue / reset to factory) another 15 mins. BUT if it takes longer, DON'T Turn off the phone or pull the battery - wait it out. Interrupting a security wipe can be deadly. I've never done it myself, so I can't tell you what the result is, but it's doubt that it is pretty.

3. Run the autoloader again (so you have a fresh install on a clean phone) another 15 minutes

Step 2 and 3 are optional.. but after having issues such as yours, I would consider doing them.

Note: I think there is an issue with battery calibration for stl100-1 after a security wipe. I believe the fix is to remove the battery for 10 minutes, then reinsert.
.. so you might want to skip step 2 and 3 if you aren't comfortable with diagnosing your battery afterwards.

Unexpected end of archive. The file is corrupt. Downloaded twice
Could you please upload appropriate autoloader.

PS: Sorry for replying so late.

[Nightfurry]

Downloaded autoloader successfully, performed same steps again still no go.

As I observed name of autoloader is 10.2.1_B3247_Q10_Q5.rar. Is it only for Q5 and Q10?
I am using Z10 not Q5/Q10.

Please clarify this

[Nightfurry]
