How to fix a bricked BlackBerry
Category: Apps | Mar 31, 2011 |

Once you are in the AppLoader directory, double click on the Loader application shortcut. Once Loader opens, you can click Next and then proceed to Step #2. As you may have noticed, we skip Desktop Manager altogether. Step #2: We need to connect the BlackBerry to the Computer via USB cable. But here’s where the tricky part comes in with the Nuked BlackBerry. Do you see in the image above where it says COM1? What we want to do is plug in the BlackBerry, and when COM1 switches to say USB-PIN:UNKNOWN we immediately click Next. This catches the BlackBerry and takes it out of the constant reboot cycle and allows you to then reload the Operating System.

I tried to reboot my blackberry after installing an App, and it stays stock to that first white screen with the waiting symbol in the middle when it tries to boot. When that happens the only thing i can do really is remove the battery. If i put it back it try to boot on it’s own and stays stock again. I tried to Load an OS just like he did in this video, but because my phone never actually boot the computer cant read it, and nothing appears at step 0:47, Is there something else i can try ?
MAke Sure to delete the vendor.xml
@jdawggey When you go in the apploader folder u gota scroll down and delete the vendor file. i had the same problem and thats what i was missing all along.
Mine never sees the OS i have installed on my computer and when it tells me to select an .alx file, it says its not compatible with my handset. (Curve 8900)
@lilyosMOB i dont even have research in motion??
A connection to the device could not be established. Please ensure that the device is properly connected to the cradle or USB cable, and that the cradle or USB cable is connected securely to your computer. Also ensure that the device has completed any startup operations. Then run the Application Loader Wizard again.
