Did you wake up this morning to a Blackberry that doesn’t to turn on, and just has a flashing RED light?
Your Blackberry is Fubar
Your phone sir/madam, is dead.
This is becoming a widespread problem for us early adopters for RIM’s new flagship device. The best part is, RIM don’t seem interested in acknowledging that there is a clear hardware (or software?) problem.
I upgraded to my 9900 on the 3th October, it died on 24th October, thats exactly 3 weeks, how long did yours last?
No matter what attempt you try.
- Another battery will not fix your phone.
- You cant re-install the OS using Device Manager.
- BBSak will NOT fix it.
- Attempting to recover your blackberry via the loader /nojvm won’t work neither.
In simple terms your blackberry has a bug and needs replacing, until someone in among the blackberry community can figure out something RIM doesn’t want to.

Have you tried plugging it into different battery sources? Maybe the outlet you are using isn’t strong enough. I thought that was the case with my Bold as well, but when I plugged it into my computer’s high powered USB port, it gave me the desperately-need-to-charge screen

Thats a different issue Suzanne, this problem is a internal hardware/software problem with a large amount bold 99xx’s just do a quick google search for “bricked bold 9900”

6 weeks and my 9900 is dead… woke up this mroning to a FUBAR ….
what a piece of shit… I’m going back to iPhone/Android … this crap is totally embrassing… its 2012 and there are bricked phones after 1 months of regular use with no “moding” or anything?
That’s just helorious… never buy a bb EVER AGAIN in your life… unless you like unwelcome surprises.

You may have banged it, and the internal connection came loose. Take it apart, and join the 2 connections together. You will be good to go in a jiffy.

Where you learn to speak like that? Parents?

There is only one solution, you will lose all your data, but you will recover your phone. Connect your phone to your PC, run Blackberry Desktop Software, and update your phone version, it will fix it.

Damn, not what I wanted to hear at all… I was having an issue where the phone would shut off on its own and get stuck in a boot loop until I plugged it in to the charger or USB cable. Suddenly yesterday my phone shut off and refused to come back, started flashing the red light 4 times, one long flash and three short flashes. Dead.
Nnanna Amanze
