All was working fine until I followed the upgrade prompts. The 'phone works but a) it won't accept Opera Mini 5.1 (which was in the 'phone already) and b) I cannot connect to the PC via the USB cord.
View 7 RepliesI'm having a bit of a problem updating to the latest version of firmware for my 8520. Currently I've got v4.6.1.314 but Vodafone have released v5.0.0.1168 so I'd like to upgrade to that.
I've already downloaded and installed the firmware on my computer but when I try to use the App loader to install it on my blackberry it tells me v4.6 is the most recent available.
Any ideas why v5 won't show up when I try to install it?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm new on this forum and my T-Mobile G1 recently died, so my friend gave me his AT&T 8520. He gave it to me unlocked so my T-Mobile SIM works. My question is if I can convert the AT&T firmware to T-Mobile firmware. I want to add the BIS service to it, so is it just a matter of adjusting service books, or am I gonna have to do something else?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a blacberry working with Orange France. I had an error message when I pulled out the battery (App Error 523, reset" ). So I send the firmware 8520M_PBr5.0.0_rel661_PL5.2.0.31_A5.0.0.411.exe, and he could start.
However, when I put my sim card (working on my nokia) , it doesn't work (invalid). I've asked for an unlock code, but when I enter it, the BB freeze (I always have 10 tries). I've tried with another simcard (Orange, SFR...) and the result is the same.
I'm using curve 8900 right now. However, I accidentally wipe my handheld yesterday. Thus I tried to update my firmware (the following one)
BlackBerry Handheld Software v5.0.0.1168 (All Languages)
Consisting of:
Applications: 5.0.0.681
Software Platform: 5.2.0.67
File name: 8900AllLang_PBr5.0.0_rel1168_PL5.2.0.67_A5.0.0.681_O2_UK.exe
After it rebooted. I add more applications without setting the language in my handheld first. And this is where the problem begin. The screen is just stuck with the page to choose language to be used in handheld and cannot be navigated at all. I also cannot connect it to my computer. I tried battery pulled and let the battery run out then pull and recharge again. It always come up with the same screen.
Recently, my wife got a Curve 8520 from Rogers and I want to transfer some photos and stuff to my PC. When I connect it via USB, I get the familiar sound that says it detects it, but it doesn't show up anywhere on my list of devices. Blackberry Desktop Software recognizes it, but won't sync any media; it says media storage unavailable. Mass Media Mode on the phone is on. Some things to note: Running Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 Running Blackberry Desktop Software v6.0.0.43 I am not using a hub to connect the BB. I also have a Bold 9000, than connects no problem, albeit a different USB cable.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have changed my PC so reloaded the desktop software - all was OK and it worked perfectly. It then auto-updated from the update site to 6.1.0.35 and a new driver loaded - now the new software loads when I connect the USB port to my 8520 but it sits there with "connect your Blackberry Device" .
I have deleted and downloaded the software three times now.
I'm currently in possession of a white 8520. The device doesn't load the OS in any way. I've tried to load an official OS through the Loader application, but to no avail. At first, I get the PIN: UNKNOWN and get to the application check screen. After that, it loads... But in the second step of Loader, it says it can't connect to the device. The Desktop Software hasn't been able to help too. Doing a battery pull leads to the bar filling to about 70%, and stays there. No reboot order, nothing. I hadn't the device before this episode, having no clue on what's the cause

I have been having problems with my Blackberry Curve 8520 as it won't connect to the computer. I have switched on mass storage mode, all my pictures and such are saved to my memory card. I have installed the blackberry desktop manager and my PC still does not recognize my Blackberry. It just starts to charge and go on the clock face. My Blackberry is the V4,6.1.314..So, basically whenever I connect my Blackberry to my computer it just starts to charge!

Since Thursday night I've been receiving a SOS signal from my pay as you go Blackberry 8520 when I'm in my apartment or on my block. Or worse, it will say I have full coverage but I can't send or receive phonecalls or messages. If I walk two blocks in any direction the signal comes back. I've been to the Vodafone store multiple times and with the language barrier they keep telling me nothing is wrong. I finally got them to give me a new sim card today hoping that would fix it but i still can't get any signal. I'm sure it's probably something to do with the network but really, for three/four days?? I've lived in the same apartment for the past 4 months with absolutely no problem. I only have a week left in Italy with this phone but it's frustrating because I have to stay home and study for finals and now I can't get into contact with anyone. I've tried the battery pull, wiping my device, changing my SIM card...literally everything I can think of.
