blackberry storm os re-install

[bigglou23]

Does anyone know how to re-install the os back to a wiped storm?

I bought one with no os for $30 thinking that i knew how, but apparently i don't :'(

I have this os ready to go: OS 5.0.0.328 but cant get the pc to read it at all.

EDIT: It says "Reload Software: 507" on the screen.

you should be able to do it with desktop manager

if it doesnt recognize the storm use no jvm method (google on how to)

install whatever you can on it then upgrade if nessasery

1.Get the most recent BlackBerry OS as you would do when you upgrade your BlackBerry OS.
2.Install this on your PC.
3.Connect your BlackBerry to your PC.
4.Make sure the BlackBerry Desktop Manager is NOT running.
5.Open a command line by going to: Start » Run… » enter “cmd” » HIT ENTER
6.Navigate to the Application Loader directory by entering: cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\
7.Enter and start: Loader.exe /nojvm
8.The BlackBerry’s Java Loader will pop up.
9.Follow the instructions and install the new OS on your device.
The BlackBerry should automatically reboot at the end of the installation process and your device is back working




Very nice bro, thank you very much!!!

Worked like a charm!

Or, with the battery out connect it to BB Desktop manager making sure you've uploaded the BB OS of your choice and deleted vendor.xml file out of the C:/Program Files/Common Files/Application folder. You then go to the link that says none on the bottom of desktop manager. It will show a BB:0 in the dialog box. Select this. Next, go to update and it'll check for the os version. Proceed to upload. Pop the battery back in when it starts uploading...
