Re: Bold 9900 Bricked Alone

I am having the same problem. I left my phone to charge over night woke up to a red blinking LED. tried all the suggestions including loading the OS through loader.exe /nojvm command but the phone fails to reconnect in the step that says "Waiting for device initialization".

 

I tried a new battery fully charged and still the same issue. Also, I tried the battery from my phone on another 9900 and the battery seemed to work. Please help as i am travelling I am not able to take it to Verizon store as they would like to inspect it to see that its defective :smileysad:

They are definitely hiding that they put out a device that was NOT ready to be released. At least have the decency to do a recall or something.

Re: Bold 9900 Bricked Alone

As per a large number of threads on this exact issue ... it has affected a lot of users, and there is no solution other than sending the phone off for repair.

 

Surely the carriers are unhappy about having to handle such a massive amount of returns!

Re: Bold 9900 Bricked Alone

This problem is getting worse every day for RIM, if they don't release a fix soon or stop selling defective bold 9900 they will be hurt very badly because they will get a class action lawsuit. Please follow posts here about this issue http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-bold-9930-9900-f235/ * I am in my second bold 9900, I have try almost anything to revive this second bold but nothing is working, this is the worst problem for any phone manufacturer in the world. I have with the bold only 2 weeks and in that time 2 bolds were bricked in the night, why always in the night I don't understand. Also using the old bold it is safer
