Every now i then, i love to explore and do new things on my gadget, I recently acquired a blackberry device for my self.
You got me there, I don’t really fancy this device but when the opportunity came to owning one, i dint hesitate.
One of the few reasons why i decided to make use of this device is because of the availability of a WordPress app that makes managing this blog very easy and with the fact that i get so much calls to join the team of PIN holders.
To cut the story short… i am just beginning to make the blackberry work for me.
One thing you will perhaps notice about gadgets generally is that at some point or the other they tend to bring out errors which the Blackberry is not an exception. This errors could sometimes be caused by an application or a corrupt OS (Operating system). So if you are having a problem and all solutions you have tried are not working then there’s possibility that its software related.
Just after i acquire my blackberry, i begin to notice some annoying errors on it, the new Blackberry App world doesn’t work at all so i was forced to use the older version of the app world, and also all other apps that requires the use of Blackberry ID end up been useless.
In mere words, My Blackberry ID is faulty.
Well i have figured out a way, now my device works Fabulously.
What i had to do to fix the mess is to reload my operating system, and Here is how i did it.

HOW TO EASILY RELOAD YOUR BLACKBERRY OPERATING SYSTEM.
Step #1: Back Up Data First!!
First of all After installing BlackBerry Desktop Manager on your computer, if you cant install it on your computer maybe cause of some errors, you can use a friends PC, The only things we need the Blackberry desktop manager for is for you to make full backup of your blackberry phone. Once you have done that, then you should proceed.
Step #2: Get Blackberry AppLoader Available
Now Download the blackberry Apploader, and make sure your device is not connected to the connected at this time.
Step #3: Install your Blackberry OS
Now install the BlackBerry Operating System you wish to install, i choose the MTN Nigeria link when i was doing this. Once you have done this, then install the file on your computer
Step #4: Download and Install The BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife (BBSAK)
Now the last installation, Install the BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife (BBSAK) on your computer
Step #5: Connect Your BlackBerry To The Computer
Now connect your Blackberry to your computer then open BBSAK, then software should automatically detect your device
You can as well back up your apps with this software,But it wont back up contacts, emails, sms, settings etc like the Blackberry desktop manager.
Step #6: Wipe Away The Old OS with BBSAK
Once your mobile is detected as you can see my pin above, and you have back up your data, then click on the “wipe device” button (This will clear every single thing on your blackberry, therefore making the blackberry empty) Don’t be scared, we are going to fix i back.
Step #7: Reload installed OS
After the wipe, Then click on the “load OS” button, Remember we have already installed the OS on the computer, So once you click that the OS will pop up, But in-case your have many OS installed, then you have the options to chose which one you need to install, Once you do that, then the application loader will start its work
application loader will start its work
Click NEXT
Installation Complete! Just sit back and let your BlackBerry Reboot
Step #8: Breathe and Smile
That’s it! You are done.
Check out your device now, you will notice its now a Brand New BlackBerry. And now to get your data back, just connect your device to the computer, open your Desktop manager then restore your files.
So every thing will look exactly as before, but with a clean OS :)
That’s all folks! This a tutorial i hope you wont have to use though, but if the case arise for such need then this tutorial should help you get them solved
Happy BlackBerrying! lol
