BlackBerry® Curve™

[CR2532]

I know there are numerous posts on this subject, however none of them seem to help me, so I hope someone can.....

I have a BB Curve 8900 and I cut (yes, cut not copy) numerous pictures from my BB and pasted them to my laptop, then deleted them from my BB.

When I have come to view them on my laptop I have now realised that they are encrypted!! I really don't want to loose these pictures, is anyone able to offer a solution please?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!

Only the original device than encrypted them can decrypt them...there is nothing for decryption on the PC itself. You must put them back onto your BB and decrypt them there. See these for reference:

• KB22577Encrypted files on a media card are able to be copied off of the media card in a decrypted state and can be viewed
• KB11454Encrypted files stored on the microSD media card appear as .rem files
• KB12999How to encrypt files on an installed media card in the BlackBerry smartphone

Hopefully you will be lucky...but it is completely possible that they cannot be decrypted at all...ever.

Good luck!

Were you ever able to get those files back or decrypt them? I have the same issue.
