Ok no problem! Tell me what your doing and I will walk you through the process!

First thing... Did you get os downloaded to your computer?

Definitely check out mepascals, link. Very helpful! I used
To have it in my signature and it dissapeared. Just haven't
Put it back yet!

yes i got downloaded the stock one that you told me too. ^ to MePascal, i went to that thats how i was orginally doing the wipe. But it shows the pictures to guide people in a Windows XP format, Im using Windows Vista thats how im getting lost. Back to Jason, i downloaded it. and now im lost. i started up BBSAK. my blackberry came up. And i hit Load OS. and then it says my pin from the drop down menu. & i hit continue, and the a Application Loader screen comes up, with a big box sorta thing. Here i took a photo and uploaded to Tinypic. this is what comes up..... Image - TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting
idk what to do from there.

Sorry for the last minute update in all the post up there ^^^^^^^ i meant i have a Blackberry Curve 8330 SmartPhone. but dont worry i downloaded the blackberry curve 8330 smartphone OS from the website link you sent me before just a typo!

Not a problem nykillaa.

Let me ask you this.

After you downloaded the OS for your Curve, Did you install the OS?
Then, after you installed the OS, do you delete the Vendor.xml file and empty the recycle bin.
After that file is deleted, do a search on your PC for the keyword Vendor to be sure that the file is completely removed from the PC.
Be sure to disconnect your PC from the internet as well while trying to install the OS.

Neo I am also looking forward to your input

Using your PC, navigate to your Control Panel, click on Add or Remove Programs and uninstall all instances of Blackberry DEVICE Software. Do not uninstall Blackberry DESKTOP Software. (see picture)




do you see the software installed? If so then click on more information to verify what version it is and that it is correct.

alright i uninstalled it all. including bbsak .

ok, so you do still have DM installed? Verify it, don't assume please always better to be sure

i have the device OS. and the DM still installed.

Ok, keep the dm closed...verify that its closed and then

Go to…..C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research in Motion\AppLoader…..delete the vendor.xml file

Dbl Click the Loader application:
<<< looks like this

vendor file has been deleted. dm closed. but installed. along with OS

OK, your good with that then

navigate to…..C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research in Motion\AppLoader…..

Dbl Click the Loader application:
<<< looks like this

gotcha loader wizard is up. connect device ? with or without battery ? loader is only thing open on Pc

I noticed you have the 8830 listed as your device in your stats...

did you make sure that you installed the correct software to your pc. 8330 and not 8830?

with battery or your phone will not work when it's complete.

navigate through the menu and let me know if you get stuck

and yes, connect device.

correct you are. that was a typo. OS installed is for 8330 [my bb] i am still curently at apploader wizard. [1st screen]
