BlackBerry® Curve™

Ok but how would I know that its charging? The phone doesn't show no indication of the battery is being charged... I had to use my bro's bb to charge the battery. The battery I'm currently using is fully charge but the phone would take like 45mins give or take to read the battery then show the blackberry logo with the load bar

You won't know... just keep charging and trying the reboot sequence every few hours.

Alright I'll keep trying that and see where I can go frm there

Just a question, could the on device battery be the reason for this all? I mean, I managed to get the updated loaded with one error this morning and the phone came on for like well over 20mins and then it shut down and started to flash the red led. I thought it malfunctioned again and tried to install back the os on the phone. Well I'm downloading desktop manager on the desktop at home and will be using that instead of the laptop and see if it would work this time

Yes, that is likely the problem.

Prince, I've tried that but its a problem because my PC isnt picking the device up at all. There are no options in connection. This phone is like a brick now absolutely useless because of a silly update.

Hi ryanj

                  Can you try the same on another PC ,Also try changing the USB port, As suggested by JSanders try using BBSAK , it may take multiple attempt to connect your device.You have to try all possibilities in order to recover your device. Check this troubleshoot guide :

well i wasnt getting anything from it so i sent the phone to a technician friend of mines to check the board out to see if theres really a problem with it. thats the only conclusion i have right now cuz the phone just wont come on right away unless u leave out the battery for a long period of time then put it back it... that has to do with the current flow on the board and not really the software. this was the first problem he had with it and thought it was his battery and he just destroyed his good battery for that matter

Thanks for the reply man, 

yeah I have tried all of that. 

The OS AND Firmware are completely shot. It's like a new motherboard that has just been manufactured and there is no firmware on it. I think i need to get the firmware on first. Then the OS. Anyway to get the firmware on?
