Other BlackBerry® Smartphones

Hi! I am using a blackberry 7290 and it's caught in a crash loop. Whenever I reset my handheld, it gives me a device error: 400. I looked at the support site and found an answer but on step 8, when you need to find the application in the application manager, I can't find the application. It is the only application on my handheld but it does not appear in the application manager window. Help please?
