How to Fix Nuked Blackberry
This're that happen :
- The screen remains blank
- LED Lights On - Off many times .... red LED for about 5 seconds, and die about 2-3 seconds
- Can't get connected to PC via USB, you'll hear the notorious sound of connected and disconnected USB device in tune with the LED
This condition is called the "Nuked" Blackberry.
How to fix it :
1. Connect Blackberry to PC via USB
2. install the Blackberry OS, try with ver 4.5 first- if there's no results, download and install version 4.2 (based on experience) - Do not forget to delete Vendor.xml
3. Run Desktop Manager
4. Click the App Loader - Start
5. Wait until "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN" appears... click Next right away ... if you missed it just wait till it appear again.
6. Then continue the process as install / upgrade OS.
If you're success here, congratulations
but if you got error 507, do this
Turn off Desktop Manager... then repeat the process from no. 3 ... and this time the PIN should've recognized. If not ...reinstall Desktop Manager with the Repair option.
Run the process till Blackberry run normally with ver 4.2, then upgrade it to 4.5.
Blackberry 8xxx series have 64 MB of internal memory, which is used jointly by the Operating System, RAM and Storage System ... if we use OS ver4.5 with a standard installation, leaving only about 24 MB. And if it used long enough, usually will begin to slow down when the rest memory below 10 MB.
So to free up some memory try to do this step :
1. Install the necessary applications only, there's no need to store application that you only use it once.
2. Avoid to install applications that are continuously running, such as Google
Mail or Yahoo Messenger, install what you need the most and do not activate the automatic connection ...
3. Do not keep unimportant emails.
4. No need to save the Chat History Logs of YM, GTalk, BB Messenger, or any other.
5. Restart BB if it started to slowed down.
6. Remove battery for a few minutes if restarting didn't have any effect.
7. Re-install your BlackBerry OS, and just choose the necessary ... example:
- Do not install language2, MDS, DOD Certificate, Password Keeper, Blackberry Maps if you dont have a GPS, BrickBreaker, Document To Go.
How to reinstall can be read here
- just install: BlackBerry Messenger, BlackBerry Attachment Service, MemoPad, Tasks
8. Install MaxMem via BlackBerry ... open the URL: http://mobile.blackberrytrade.com
