Re: Hello there, my blackberry storm 9530 is requesting...
- Unplug the BB in current brick form
- Go into your Desktop Manager settings and make sure that it isn't configured to back up upon syncing. (Why? because if you don't, the minute your BB is back online, it can potentially copy over all your backed up data...then you're really USCWAP)
- Your BB should still be showing that annoying error on the screen. Get rid of it by taking out the battery.
- Now...with the battery still out of your BB, plug it into your computer.
- Depending on your OS, it will either recognize it right away and restore applications, or it will (as it was in my case) not do anything because I was on a Mac.
- Let it "steep" for a bit if you are on a Mac and stare at the lovely no battery icon that shows up when you have it plugged in.
- After you are sufficiently satisfied that nothing more is going to happen, insert the battery without disconnecting the connection.
- Now watch the magic happen...the software will state the obvious and tell you that there is no OS present and will prompt you to choose which OS you wish to install. I chose the recommended latest one.
- The re-installation of the BB OS should occur at this point. If it doesn't? Re-do this whole process again. I would say that after 3 or 4 times, if it STILL doesn't work, then your BB is pretty messed up and you should probably just get a new one...
