How To Restore A Dead BlackBerry - GSM-Forum

Darkensser · 03-05-2012, 21:54

If your BlackBerry fails to start there could be three things that are wrong with it; it could be totally dead, it could be trying to restart while giving you LED activity only, or it could have failed to restart giving you a white error screen. You may still be able to restore your BlackBerry back to life…

How you do it?

Step one: Make sure that you have BlackBerry Desktop Manager installed. You can either use the CD that came with your device, or download the latest version.

After BlackBerry Desktop Manager is installed you will need to install a specific OS. This will not be on your device CD. You will need to download the original, or any specific version from the download section at the main BlackBerry site.

After you have the new OS installed, you will then prepare it for your device.

Choose Start
Choose Computer, and then the Drive C: Icon
Next open Program Files
Then Common Files
Then Research In Motion
Finally, AppLoader
Scroll down to the bottom and delete the file named Vendor.xml
Your BlackBerry device should now be ready for restoration. Make sure that Desktop Manager is not running, and plug your device into the USB.
Next we will use the command line interface.
If you are using Windows XP then use the command: Start / Run… / Command
If you are using Windows Vista then use the command: Start / Command (type into start search)
A command prompt in a black screen will then appear.

If you are using Windows XP then use:
CD \
CD PROGRA~1
CD COMMON~1
CD RESEAR~1
CD APPLOA~1
LOADER /NOJVM
If you are using Windows Vista then use:
CD \
CD PROGRAM FILES
CD COMMON FILES
CD RESEARCH IN MOTION
CD APPLOADER
LOADER /NOJVM

A forced rebuild will begin once you hit enter after the final command. Once the rebuild is finished, unplug the USB from the computer and wait for the start up. This should take approximately fif**** minutes, and should not be interrupted.

When your Blackberry device is ready, you can use Desktop Manager Application Loader to restore the back up files, if you saved any, and customize it.

Is a problem of software... I recommend to you that download a "Quick Install" and put you phone to PC without battery... after reload the software, you need insert the battery in your phone again .....

Regards!!
