HOW TO FLASH UR BLACKBERRY PHONE

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 mode
