How to Recover your Nuked Blackberry, getting past the ""Reconnecting to JVM" step.
I realized, while searching for solutions to my own little Blackberry problem, that many people are having trouble getting past the Reconnecting to JVM step, or recieving the Failed at the Multi-Stage Operation error, I too was caught in this loop and this is how I managed to fix it:
Things I'd already tried:
- Wiping with JL_cmder (refused to connect)
- Attempted to wipe with BBSAK (again refused to connect)
- Reloading OS with BDM (failed)
- Reloading OS with Loader.exe (Reconnecting to JVM loop)
- Wiping with MFI (refused to connect)
- Starting loader from CMD with /nojvm (nothing happened)
Things you should do before starting this process:
- Download and install BDM
- Download and Install the OS Loader of your choice
- Delete the vendor.xml file
Warning: This method worked perfectly (thrice) on my BB 8320, not sure about other models...
Steps:
- Remove the battery from your BB
- Start Loader.exe
- Connect your battery-less BB through USB
- Hit Next all throughout, until it says erasing applications
- Wait until the Reconnecting to JVM apears and reinsert your battery
- If this doesn't work, take out your battery and wait for 5 seconds before reinserting it again
- Wait for 10 seconds after reinserting your battery
- Repeat this process until the 507 error comes up on your screen
- THE HARDEST PART IS OVER!!!!
- Close the Loader, either by killing the process or hitting Cancel
- IMPORTANT: Open JL_cmder and wipe your phone, should connect no problem!
- Restart the loader process, and it will successfully finish
- CONGRATULATIONS you have unbricked your bricked BB
- Continue to restore settings etc. etc.
Hopes this helps! Feel free to PM me with any questions etc.
*Edit: I forgot to specify the problem! My BB was completely dead, black screen, if I connected it to the charger or USB, the red LED would come for about 5 seconds and then go, nothing would happen after that. If I connected with the battery out the No Battery sign would appear on the screen until I insert the battery or unplug it...The above solution fixed it perfectly (thrice)!
