Re: 8520 startup stuck.

Has it been dropped or gotten wet?

Any error code on the screen when it stalls?

I don't know if it had fallen or got wet.I will find that out during the day.Got the phone from someone. And no, no error when it stalls,just stay like that until I pop the battery.it also does not get recognized by desktop manager. Or JL cmbr.

Re: 8520 startup stuck.

Thanks for not answering any of the other questions.

Again, in case you missed it, did it ever work for you?

Re: 8520 startup stuck.

How long did you leave it to see if it will finish booting. Sometimes, for whatever reason, I've personally seen a BlackBerry take 20 minutes to boot. There's a post somewhere on this board, or maybe the BlackBerry support forums where a BlackBerry was left for hours and it finally finished booting. But I would definitely given it 30 minutes.

If it won't boot, see the article over at Crackberry on recovering a nuked or bricked BlackBerry.

Yes I have left it to see if it boots up but it just stuck.I'm sure the I'm gonna have to load a new OS,question is,what platform? Cause I don't know what OS platform the phone used.
And thanks for the help sofar

Use a pc that is NOT running Vista. XP is fine and so is Win7.
