I got no prob on downloading.

Just make sure your connection is good enough when downloading...

Hi all, I just got the situation like above. Led blinked with red colour.
BBSAK unable to detect it, but windows can.
App loader can detects it, but nth to be add when stepped to device application selection.
So I choose Add at top, and look at the os5 that i dl-ed and installed, but it shows "This application is not compatible with your device and cannot be loaded. 2 kind of OS5 tested,"9000EastAsia_PBr5.0.0_rel1682_PL5.2.0.93_A5.0.0.1036_CSL_Limited_customers.exe" and "9000M_PBr5.0.0_rel1728_PL5.2.0.89_A5.0.0.1067_AT_T.exe".

Your rom is dead and bricked. So you need to load your OS without the battery.

There is a guide on my forum on how to boot a dead BlackBerry...

Is it this step?

Correct me if this is wrong

I got an error when it reconnecting to JVM, says " Application loader was unable to connect to your device, pls reconnect..." I didnt plug in the battery.

searching for blackberry...the chepest one..but i got this...website...someone told me dat dis web sell the most cheap electronic devices...so ..someone help me .....who knows this things ?this website?still doubt with this web..someone who already try on it..please explain to me..

Try uninstall your Desktop Manager and download the latest one. I suspect the old driver prob which make you cant connect...

Try it out and let me know successful or not?

Still same prb, stucking in reconnecting to jvm, I used DM to update its software, same prb also.

Then your flash IC is dead, try this:

This procedure works with all Blackberrys, as far as I know, but I couldn't resist putting Bold in the title as it's happened to me twice already, both times while using a Mac to do my OS upgrade.

All this presumes your Bold is already dead, and no amount of hair or battery pulling will get it to restart again.

PRELIMINARY
1. Take the battery out of your Blackberry.
2. Ensure you have the latest BDM properly installed.
3. Install the OS version you want your revived Blackberry to have. Once you've completed the procedure, you will essentially have a factory-fresh Bold so at this step, you can choose which OS you want to have in your factory-fresh Blackberry. You can choose to revert to a previous OS for example, but why would you do that?
4. And most important, use a Windows PC.

METHOD
1. Start loader.exe. You can find it at Program Files > Common Files >Research In Motion > AppLoader.
2. Connect your phone to the PC via USB.
3. When you see the loader wizard say USB-PIN: Unknown, quickly press Next. It's important you don't dally at this point, because if you don't press Next as soon as you see that phrase in the info box, you'll have to start the process all over again. Unplug from the USB, quit loader.exe, restart loader.exe, etc etc)
4. Gently insert your battery back into your phone, making sure you don't lose the USB connection.
5. Check off all the options you want to install, then wait for the process to complete on its own. It'll take a very long time, but the screen will keep updating on the steps as they're finished.

And you'll need your data backups, if any, as you'll have to re-setup your phone from scratch.

Hope that helps..

It doesn't work, App loader was unable connect with your device. Error comes out when phone is initializing

You got to bring it to shop to do it... Seems it's difficult to solve it yourself...
