The phone has to be activated.

Thanks my friend, But how can I activate it ?

are you trying to upgrade through desktop manager?
if so dont... go to program files then common filles then research in motion files then apploader and click on loader exe
if ur using dm 5.0.1 and thats what it sounds like, i was having connection issues with it, went back to 5.0

To activate the phone for BIS, reboot the phone, Go to Options, Advanced options, Host Routing Table.

You will see a few lines of data. Press the "Blackberry Key" this will bring up a small list of options. Select "Register Now". This will register your BB with the BB network.

Hope this helps.

You have to delete the Vendor.xml file located at c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and then run apploader.exe in that same directory

You can do an update without an active subscription by doing a "stealth" OS reload.

Delete the Vendor.xml file located at c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader

Run Loader.exe from that directory.

Pull the battery from your device, and put it back in. Plug in the BB and IMMEDIATELY click the "next" button - here's where you want to make sure the port shows USB: UNKNOWN.

If it shows the PIN, you were too slow. Try again.

Basically, you're loading an OS from the bottom up. There is no "backup/restore" available for this. You'll lose everything on the device.

But it will work.
