Ok I did the TMI Italy update and after when it rebooted a funny sign that looked like a cassette tape with an x over it showed up. Now after trying to do a hard reset it won't even come on or connect to my desktop manager. WHAT DO I DO??? I need my phone and its Sunday so Cingular is closed. Someone please help.
Yes.... It's the same process for all Blackberry devices... if you have any questions feel free to ask.... It's a pretty simple process to restore the OS back to factory... Follw the directions to a t and you will be fine
ok one more well 2 more questions. will this work if my computer doesn't see my device because it won't come on? and when i tried it didn't reboot my pearl to a white screen
Yes it will work.... When you plug the BB in is it loaded in the task area of Windows (next to clock) All you need to do is plug the BB in, make sure desktop manager is closed and open and run Jl_Cmder... It will then wipe the device and the device should reboot to a white screen with the 507 error...
It didn't reboot to a white screen and when i tried to reload the os it says i'm missing a file for the browser. i'm lost guess i'll be begging for a new phone tomorrow which i should get since this one is 4 days old. teach me to mess with a good thing huh!
Try it again....following these instructions. Make sure you're installing the correct OS (install it again to make sure all the files are there) for the device and don't try to install vendor themes just yet.
It's a simple process...you just got something crossed up somewhere.
Did you follow the directions in my link from post # 2? Sometimes it can take 3, 4 or even 5 trys to get it to connect and wipe, so just keep trying...
I tried it a second time exactly like you stated but it still wouldn't do anything. So i left the battery out all night and took it back to the cingular store where her promptly put the battery in and the stupid thing came on which it wouldn't do for me. NOw i'm gonna try to do it again to get the os on there. Its still just a blank screen but the cingular guy said to give it a try since they were out of the phones right now anyway. So here I go again. I'll let ya know. Thanks for all of ya'll help by the way.
