First, Download The OS Thats Right For You Below :-

1. *Backing Up Your Devices Main Information Using Desktop Manager*








1. Connect your device to your PC with your USB cable.


2. Open your Desktop Manager software.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

3. Click on Backup and Restore and then click Backup

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

2. *Backing up Third-Party Applications with BBSAK*




Before you start to use this program you will need the following installed on your PC.
1- Net Framework 2.0 or higher
2- Desktop Manager (any version is fine)
3- BBSAK program, you can download it here: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Watch The Video



# Connect your phone to your computer
# Start BBSAK and enter your password if applicable
# Press the button labeled Backup Apps

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You will see a dialog box pop up saying your BlackBerry screen may flash during Backup.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now just sit back and wait for BBSAK to back up your third party apps.
When completed you will see a dialogue box saying 3rd Party Apps Backup Complete!
If you look in the same folder that BBSAK is installed in
(C:\Program Files\BBSAK or C:\Program Files (x86)\BBSAK for 64bit systems),
you should see a new folder labelled Backup. Inside Backup are all of the COD files
for your third party applications.


3. *Wiping Device Memory Using BBSAK*




Watch The Video



The next screen to pop up gives you list of options that you can perform with BBSAK. **Notice it will display your pin number if your connected properly**. For the purpose of this walk through we will want to select the "wipe device" option.

Once you have selected wipe device you will get a screen asking if you are sure you want to do this. **this is a good time to select no if you forgot to back up your data** If you are ready to go then click yes

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You will now see a bar on the bottom of the options screen. Showing you the progress of the wipe, and then completed. Once it is done your phone will reboot and come up with an "error reload software 507" screen. Don't panic that is what we want.


4. *Loading A New Operating System Onto Your Device*





So your device is now displaying the 507 error. This means you do not have any type of operating system loaded on it. So that is what we will tackle next. The only tools needed are your device hooked up to your PC with the USB cord and follow the steps below.

Before I start, I want to state that there are numerous ways to load an OS onto a device. This is what I follow and find it to be the easiest way.

I highly recommend if you are new to this procedure, read through it first to familiarize yourself with the steps

Watch The Video



Disconnect your device from the PC.

Using your PC, navigate to your Control Panel, click on Add or Remove Programs and uninstall all instances of Blackberry DEVICE Software. Do not uninstall Blackberry DESKTOP Software. (see picture)

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now download the software of your choice that is compatible with your device.

Install the operating software to your PC.

Close Desktop Manager down if it is still open.

Connect your device to the PC via your USB cable.

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader (where C:\ is your main drive.)

In Vista
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Scroll to the bottom of that window. You must delete the vendor.xml file if it is there.


Scroll back up in the same window and:

In Windows XP, double click the file named "Loader".

Windows Vista/7: Right click the file named "Loader" and choose "Run as Administrator"

Loader looks like a Blackberry phone.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] This will start the install process.

When the welcome screen opens, click Next.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The next screen will show your pin # in the top box, click Next. The top two will be the OS to be installed.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Click Next to begin the installation. This will take anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes on average. Do Not Unplug Your Device!!

*If something goes wrong at this point, and the software does not load after waiting the allotted time, you will need to go back to the wiping your device step in this procedure and continue from there.

When the loading process is finished the wizard will say so.

Your device will reboot itself and take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to run up to the setup wizard.

Follow the prompts on your device until you get to the home screen.


5. *Resend your service books*





On phone: Options > Advanced options > Host Routing Tables > BB Menu Key > Register Now

OR

Over the Web: BlackBerry - BlackBerry Internet Service Support

Pick North America or World Wide @ the top of the page.

Pick your Service Provider from the list on the page.
You may have to call your service provider to set you up if you can not gain access.


Any problems, just let me know
