View 2 RepliesMy boyfriend recently got a BB from a friend to replace his broken one. when replacing the simcard the phone wouldn't turn on, not even when connected to a computer. So i tried to update the software however this failed and now the phone will boot to 2/3rds and then freezes. I have tried to wipe the phone and reinstall the OS however this doesnt work either. The program used to wipe does not connect to the phone and it appears I cannot overwrite the OS without wiping it first.
Whilst I'm at it... I have my own old curve which I then gave to my brother when I upgraded. He failed to tell me that he'd dropped it in water and just said the keys were broken so I was unable to dry it out at the time. The phone works but none of the keys or tracking pad do. I have upgraded the OS and even wiped the software and done a total reinstall and still no luck.
My BlackBerry 9300 curve is (usually) freezing after the booting progress bar has reached the end. Occasionally, I can get it to connect to my Desktop Software. And very occasionally, after trying to connect, it goes into some unrecognisable text version of its screen. I'm able to scroll about on this and try various things, but I keep getting Java errors. After a number of these I got a message saying "AppError 601" and the phone rebooted. Hasn't shown particular signs of life yet (back to freezing at the end of its boot progress).
I did manage successfully to use the resettofactory command from the MacOS terminal to get it to wipe. However, from the text-only screen, and judging by the documentation as well, it doesn't remove apps. And I'm guessing this is app-related.I've tried booting it in safe mode, which left me with a frozen screen with text in the background and a rectangular logo screen in the foreground (there's also a screenshot in the attachments).Even if none of this rings a bell with any of you, do any of you know how to delete the apps from the command line?
My Curve 8520 is freezing on start up. What happened was my facebook app froze after I tried to log out so I decided to re-boot the phone and now it freezes 3/4s into the start up. I have tried connecting with my desktop software, it is being recognised but not connecting fully so therefore I can't connect with any of the function ie restore. I have tried to do a safe re-boot but it still sticks at the same point.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI received a call then I clicked the volume button to silence the phone, then after a while I noticed that the phone is totally hanged, so I tried to do a hard reset by removing the battery and putting it back again, but while booting the progress bar goes up to about 70% and then it stops and the phone never starts..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a brand new Curve 9300 less than a week ago. I've updated it's OS to version 6, and it worked perfectly. When I attempted to configure my email, it automatically asked to update with my carrier's email setup software. I just chose ok. I got three warning messages, which I don't exactly remember but it was about something may not function correctly (regarding to version difference). I just continued installation, and it asked for a reboot. When I rebooted the mobile, it goot stuck at the boot screen. Then nothing! The thin status bar bellow BlackBerry's logo fills up until it's full, then nothing happens. When I wait for longer time (a few minutes), I get a message on a white screen with a tiny font with "App Error 606", with one option of 'RESET'. I pulled out the battery and restored it a few times, nothing different. Notes:The LED does not do anything, except for a single red blink when it rebootsThe keboard seems to be responsive. I get the Alt and Shift indicators in the top right corner when I press themThe power button doens't seem to cause

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy BB curve 8520 keeps freezing at reboot a the exact same place, the e. Ive taken the battery multiple times and left it to load for up to 45 minutes with no luck. I've wiped the devices memory and its not possible to connect to the computer as for it connect it requires me to put a password in on my BB and since it is frozen it dosent allow me to choose this option.

View 1 Replies View Relatedivehad my curve 8520 for a while now, and a couple months ago the trackpad froze for a couple minutes... I didn't think anything of it because it started working again... That's continued happening, getting more and more frequent and now sometimes I have to restart my phone two or three times for it to work... Everything else on my phone works even when the trackpad is frozen I just have to find another way to get to whatevr it is that I am trying to do. I can't scroll up or down or side to side but I have found out a way to munipulate my way through options and different menus and hotkeys..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Curve 8520 and the trackpad is constantly freezing. It's happening at all different times and while in different programmes. I've had the phone for about a year and my provider is O2 (UK).
My phone is v4.6.1.314 if that makes a difference.
I bought my nephew a Curve 8520 only last week. He has hardly used it and now has noticed:
(1) the button movements are delayed,
(2) When you go to dial it makes the button noises but does nothing
(3) won't access blackberry app world
(4) battery running out too quick (hardly any use)
When I bought it from Phones4u it was the last Curve 8520 phone in the shop - the woman brought the box out which was already openend and started to set it up. The phone refused to come on, we had to wait 20 minutes for her to charge it - now I thought that all phones came with a short amount of battery.
I just got a blackberry curve yesterday. It doesnt boot up. once it trun it on it boots half way and then it stops. how do i get it start working again?
View 9 Replies View RelatedCarrier: Tmobile ukDevice: Curve 8520Contract phone I got from tmobile brand new last year JuneI've had a Blackberry Curve 8520 since June 2010, had no problems with it until two days ago!At first my 'R/3' key stopped working, this was a real pain as my device lock password contains an 'R' so I could not get into my phone.At this point Alt+Shift+Del didn't work (perform a soft reset), so I done a battery pull (took out the battery for a couple minutes then put back in). Nothing I was doing was helping and then after a couple hours of doing doing battery pulls, repeatedely pressing the 'R' key and trying to blow any dirt/dust/hair from the keypad, I recieved an application error 523. I clicked on reset and my device reset itself and went to reboot, however since then it's never managed to boot up! I think it must still be in its 1 year warrently so I will t ake it to T-Mobile later today but there's one problem! I want to back-up my device but I can't!my phone cannot connect to either.My phone stays on the booting screen (white with small black timer icon in the middle).After trying to connect it says it can't but I can either abort or ignore, abort will stop the connection. However, if I click ignore the desktop manager or apploader will reload the OS but I won't be able to backup my device and will loose my current data
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Curve 8520, and have recently developed a problem. When I open contacts to search for an address it freezes. I can escape by hitting menu and switching application to the home page again. Eventually I get an error message telling me I have an "uncaught exception" it tells me that the app is not responding and the process has been terminated.When it first happened I called Orange my provider and they sent me a new handset, I retained the battery and reloaded and then funnily enough new phone started same issue. It is using software v 5.0 so I followed advice on blackberry and tried to reload software but that has not worked?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently had my curve replaced after the trackpad stopped working. Now my new curve keeps freezing when I'm on the internet, the screen will get white lines across it which gradually get bigger until the whole screen is white. A reboot doesn't work unless the phone is plugged into the charger and the problem never happens when the phone is on charge.I've tried changing the browser settings so JavaScript isn't enabled, I've also reinstalled the software and finally decided to wipe my blackberry and restored it to the file i had saved from my old curve and I'm still getting the same problem.
I'm not sure whether it's linked to the battery as it also happens when making a call if the battery is low and when I reboot my curve after it's gone to a white screen the battery has usually dropped a few bars (usually from full to 2 bars)
the mobile freezing on loading background and the loading bar stops on a point....?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAI have look around the Forum and have found nothing that will help with the situation at hand.. I decided to do a Wireless Software update on my Blackberry 8530 (Sprint) and as the process began it came to a halt. The overall Restore Progress is stuck at 1% and the Current Database: BBGroups is stuck at 69%. I figured that I would take some time so I ran this update before going to bed last night, Well 9 hrs later and we are still stuck at the same progress. I tried to do a battery pull and that didnt do much, The device reset and automatically restarted the update freezing at the same exact place. There is no option to cancel the update and it will not allow me to even access my BB home page.
