The BB doctor is here and will pilot this thread by teaching you how to flash your BB OS and save you tons of money you would spend when you take the phone to be fixed.
Firstly you will need to install the blackberry desktop manger, it comes in a CD when u purchase you BB phone but can easily be downloaded. An additional software to download would be BBSAK, its used to back up BB applications and restore them among other functions. Lastly you'll need to download the version of the OS you want to install. a simple way of getting this is by visiting blackberryrocks.com and trace a suitable OS from there.
Now that we have all this we can begin
1. connect your phone via USB
2. Backup all important contents with the blackberry desktop manager by clicking device>restore
3. Back up all 3rd party applications using bbsak by selecting the back up app option
4. install the OS on your windows computer like any other normal sofware, when done go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader look for a file "vedor.xml" and delete it
5.remove the battery den plug the phone via USB to the computer go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader and click on the application "apploader.exe"
6.after it has detecting your PIN click next/continue select all the components of the OS you want and click next/contiune
7. The installation will begin be careful not to disconnect the phone while it is installing
8. when it gets to the part of "trying to reconnect to JVM" insert the battery back into the phone
9.once the installation is completed use the same process to restore your applications back to the phone and also to restore the backed up data from the blackberry desktop manager
Now even though many problems can be solved in the BB world by a simple hard reset , this is process is will take care of problems that defy hard restore, it should be stressed that this should only be used as a last resort though. and also backed up applications should only be restored to phones with the same model. because i noticed it made the phones to hang alot if you restore in a different model
Any problems with your BB phone can also be posted here and i'll attend to it, and if you know the solution to a BB problem you can also assist by sharing
