i was in the process of updating my 8700 with the Baharti OS, but I wanted to start with a fresh Blackberry, so I ran Javaloader to flush the OS.
then I deleted my old Blackberry desktop.
I downloaded the Baharti OS, installed, then when I conncted the Blackberry, I can't force the New OS to load, the Desktop software can see the blackberry, but when I run the application loader it is telling me NO OS contact your system adimn
I did follow the the direction for upgrading the OS, I deleted the vender.xlm file and repleace the BlackBerry.alx

Can someone help please

Make sure you are on a powered USB port....(on DELL, rear)

Locate and delete VENDOR.XML (not xlm)
ALso, make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest operating system for your handheld.

powered USB was the answer, I hate my Dell.
Thank you all
