i used the mfi multi loader to try and unlock my friends blackberry pearl, and now i only get a double blink from the red light every 4 seconds.

i have tried using the jl loader to wipe, but now the phone is not even reading. also tried following the instructions under What to do next if Jl Cmder will not connect and wipe, but no luck.

does any one know if iv totaly screwed it up or is there another way around it?

thanks

Since you used unauthorized, stolen RIM software, likely downloaded from a bit torrent, I'd say it's highly likely you bricked your device. However, that being said, it's possible you can fix it. Did you try just running application loader to reload the OS?

yes, i tried app loader, but it doesnt seem to read that there is a device connected to the pc, i guess i should send it away to RIM for them to have a look

and yes i downloaded it from bit torrent, now i know to delete that and only use links i find on this site!

Why do you suppose we don't allow any links to that software?

im not on this site much. but iv learnt my lesson, thanks

Did you try running the MFI software on the device again?

i have but its not recognised by anything when connected. im gonna try restarting pc, see if its the computer not reading

keep trying the connection many times, it may take 15-20 tries until you catch it just right.

thanks, im still trying

Take the battery out. Plug into usb. Then run loader.exe and once it recognizes the device then load the OS

so u say that your blackberry is only lighting up a red light well that happened to me, but i fixed mine okay go to your blackberry desktop manager when it opens plug in your blackberry okay it says disconnected go to application loader and click update software leave ypur blackberry pluged in, i know the the desktop manager says disconnected still run the update software click okay this could take some time but after the update software is finished your blackberry should work again and should say connected.mine had the same problem but i fixed it this way.

After using the mfi multiloader, my blackberry 8110, has the white screen and I can not leave her. The message that appears is: Type 'S', 'T', 'A', 'R', 'T' to start
Type 'GO' to start.

And I can not solve this problem

Type S T A R T

Using MFI when you don't know what you are doing is a good way to turn your device into a paperweight.

Sucks for you.

Hello! I am thinking of taking a risk of running MFI to unlock my 8900. Does anyone know where i can research what this program does and how it works?

Not here, sorry. We don't provide support for it.
