I was trying to update my BB8830 device software to V4.5. The desktop software while updating gave an error message and then stopped. The device switched off and since then is not switching on. Further a red light on the signal display is blinking. I guess the old software is errased and new one did not install or the software got curropted. The PC (Win Xp) is also not identifying the device when connected. Request urgent help in solving this problem as my phone i snot working. Thanks in advance.

Sad to say mine also ran into problems (also the phone was not recognized by DM)...Here is what I did....first I did a battery pull, then when the battery was re-installed the phone came back with partial previous OS. Now when I connect at least the phone was recognized. I did a restore (actually restore failed once as well) using DM and I am back to where I was before. Usually I have no problems installing new software. I'm just glad I made a back-up before this episode.

I don't know. Have you tried different usb ports on the computer? And don't use a hub.
