It's due to your media card. remove or reformat the card (backup your data before reformatting.)

no.

i thought john clark just went over this? you have to either reformat your card or remove it.

you can do either one. since you said you dont have an adapter, you're not able to reformat your card. so that leaves you with the only other option... leave the card out. there is a third option, and that's to buy a brand new card.

but there are no other options than that. otherwise, i'm sure he would have mentioned it.

Did you put files back on the card? Some have had problems with reboots when adding back video files.

Card must be blank when inserted into a 4.5 device. If you need the pics and
cannot connect to the pc then (it's gonna be long):

Remove card from BB.

Down-grade the phone to 4.2
Insert card
Connect BB to PC move pics off card
Format card in BB
Upgrade phone to 4.5
Insert the card to BB and format
connect BB to PC and transfer Pics to Card on BB

Good Luck!
