Download Jl_Cmder (It's in my sig) and wipe the device...

Everything OS included is gone in a flash

if you have any 3rd party apps or ota apps you don't want to lose i made a quick guide in windows how to save that stuff before you wipe...

you can find it at Kradest.com

Good advice form krad...

Once you wipe it with Jl_Cmder who will need Desktop Manager and the Handheld OS installed on the PC.. Connect the BB after it reboots (white screen) and open Desktop manager... Then Application Loader and install the OS...

[Jdog1183]

i hope .71 fixed the standby issue where if u put it on standby (pearl), half the time a call came in.. i couldnt pick up because the phone wouldnt let me answer. was like the keys were locked.

If you have a previous backup, just restore them in Desktop Manager, if not you will need to add everything back....

ALWAYS a good idea to backup, especially if formatting a disk (which is *basically* what Jl_Cmder / javaloader) does....

[Jdog1183]

ah yea. just got that. restoring the databases.

i was hesitant at first because i thought it would replace my entire new build i put in (.71), but its just restoring my old data :]

Thanks!
