Have you tried to wipe your phone and reinstall OS.

im trying to but my phone cant pass the loading area for my computer to recognize it so i can do all that..its still at the blackberry screen with the loading bar at bout 30%..aint move in bout 30 minutes..ahhh

have you tried holding the Back Button on your blackberry while its loading, it might let you get in safe mode....then remove your myspace app and give it a battery pull

i doubt this will help, but since you said you installed myspace and then it happend later. i would try to pull the battery. maybe like 10 mins and then put it back in....or...this may be a long shot cause i dont know if the storm or any bb will run on the charger by its self but maybe if you try to boot it with just the usb power it would let your pc wipe it....that last bit probably wont do anything but just a thought

i just tried that...still no luck..the loading bar aint even reach half way...dunno what to do

N I tried running it on just the usb..wont stay on long enough to get recognize by the computer to either restore r wipe..even tried switching battery with my bro..still no luck,,wtf

mine took about 8 minutes the first time to load....i dont know...so holding the back button didnt work....!! have you tried doing the battery pull while the its connected to the pc with usb? and run bbsak to wipe it if it gets recognised...it might just take a while....dont stress.....

imma goonna let is sit n load for bout half hr n see what happens but i tried battery pull while usb plugged in n this cause my bbsak to freeze n begin to not respond to my computer..dunno what else to do

this happened to me too. I did about 3 battery pulls and then just let it sit. it took at least 30 minutes to boot up the first time. After it came up i wiped everything from my PC and phone, downloaded .230 again and reloaded it. Now it runs fine, loving .230

i did like 8 battery pulls n no luck...i let it sit for like a good 40 minutes and the load bar still aint move..i dunno what has happened

go to DM and down grade to 4.7.0.148 let it run for 30 min then reload .230 it work for me

follow this...

remove the battery
go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
double click Loader.exe
connect your BB using USB (still no battery)
click Next and follow the screen instructions
once it is about to initialize the device, put the battery back on

that should do the trick

Thx u...u saved my life...lol..
