How To Fix "Reload Software 507" Error On Your BlackBerry

So this should be a quickie. At a up-to-date client's place I encountered an error that happened when I tried to update her BlackBerry Storm for the first time in a Long time. It was the dreaded "Reload Software 507" error...or just "507" which shows up on others.

Here is the setup so that if you happened to do the exact same thing, the clarification will be fully applicable. The solution, however, works for all other BlackBerrys... (or is it blackberries? anybody know the plural version of a BlackBerry?):

  • Installed Desktop employer from BlackBerry's website
  • After installation, innocently plugged in the BlackBerry
  • Casually chatted with the client while it associated and prompted me to update the apps, firmware, and Os
  • Fortunately, when asked to backup BlackBerry first, I said Ok. (Never deny backups!)
  • BlackBerry backs up
  • New Bb software downloads from the web
  • Two-thirds of the way straight through the backup, for some inexplicable reason, it crashes
  • "Reload Software 507" error shows up and the BlackBerry has turned itself into a pricey brick.

BlackBerry

Oh no! What to do! whole one thing to Never do in any situation In Life is Panic. I don't remember a situation ever where panicking was ever a good thing. (Thinks back to vehicular accidents survived...)

How To Fix "Reload Software 507" Error On Your BlackBerry

Ok, here's the clarification (Why beat around the bush? You just want your Bb back right?): [Note: It's important that the clarification is performed in the order listed...why? Because it won't work otherwise...trust me.]

  • Unplug the Bb in current brick form
  • Go into your Desktop employer settings and make sure that it isn't configured to back up upon syncing. (Why? because if you don't, the miniature your Bb is back online, it can potentially copy over all your backed up data...then you're really Uscwap)
  • Your Bb should still be showing that annoying error on the screen. Get rid of it by taking out the battery.
  • Now...with the battery still out of your Bb, plug it into your computer.
  • Depending on your Os, it will either identify it right away and restore applications, or it will (as it was in my case) not do anything because I was on a Mac.
  • Let it "steep" for a bit if you are on a Mac and stare at the lovely no battery icon that shows up when you have it plugged in.
  • After you are sufficiently satisfied that nothing more is going to happen, insert the battery without disconnecting the connection.
  • Now watch the magic happen...the software will state the inevitable and tell you that there is no Os gift and will prompt you to choose which Os you wish to install. I chose the recommended most recent one.
  • The re-installation of the Bb Os should occur at this point. If it doesn't? Re-do this whole process again. I would say that after 3 or 4 times, if it Still doesn't work, then your Bb is pretty messed up and you should probably just get a new one...

Epilogue:

After you are done restoring the Os or restoring the upgraded Os, you will notice that you have Nothing on it in terms of your settings and data. Again, Don'T Panic! What did we say about that?

Instead, plug the Bb back (hopefully you didn't re-configure it to automatically backup yet...if so, turn it back off and stop jumping the gun!) and once the Bb is recognized, click on the Restore icon. You will then be asked to choose what file to use to restore and there should be the one you just backed up all things on. Do so and enjoy your Bb again!

So hopefully you were able to restore your BlackBerry back from the dreaded "Reload Software 507" Error. Good luck!

The Samsung Galaxy S2 Versus The iPhone 4S - Flagship Smartphones Head To Head

Apple has recently launched their new flagship smartphone the iPhone 4S. With the smartphone market flooded with high end devices, how does it stack up against the gift of other major players such as Samsung? In this article, I will attempt to find out by pitting the iPhone 4S against the Samsung Galaxy S2.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 has proven to be a very beloved device, as was the traditional Galaxy S. In fact, the Galaxy S2 was recently crowned "Phone of the Year" by gadget magazine T3. This is no mean feat, considering the fact that it faced competition from impressive some devices, with the Motorola Atrix, Htc Sensation, Htc incredible S and Apple iPhone 4 all development the shortlist. The Samsung Galaxy S2 came out on top for a number of reasons.

Samsung Phone

The handset boasts all the bells and whistles of a high-end Android gadget in terms of software, with passage to Android market and the Samsung TouchWiz Ui. Hardware wise, the gadget is impressive in pretty much every aspect. To furnish all the considerable computing power to hardware and software alike, there is a 1.2 Ghz dual-core processor which aids many aspects of the phones performance, ranging from response times of the screen, multitasking, web browsing and many more. The camera boasts 8 megapixels, with 1080p video capture and comes with an Led flash along with a broad holder of adjustable settings and image improving features. The screen is also someone else impressive feature of the Galaxy S2. It is large, measuring 4.3 inches, with a pixel resolution of 480x 800. With Super Amoled capacitive Plus touchscreen technology, it is responsive, and it is notable for its potential to offer great display potential when in direct sunlight. The handset itself is very slim, at 8.5mm, and weighs just 116 grams.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 Versus The iPhone 4S - Flagship Smartphones Head To Head

The iPhone 4S is similar in many respects to the Samsung Galaxy S2, on paper at least. Software wise, the major dissimilarity is in the operating system, with iOs running the intuitive and customisable interface. There are many aspects of the hardware which are similar; the camera is 8 megapixels, with 1080p video just like the Samsung device. However Apple claims that the camera on the new iPhone has many unique features such as the lens technology and the speed at which the camera operates. The latter is thanks largely to the processor, which is a 1 Ghz dual-core Apple A4 processor. Whilst this is slightly less than the 1.2 Ghz offered by the Samsung, it will hardly be noticeable during day to day use. One of Apple's advantages over the competition is its multimedia ecosystem, which allows iPhones to merge with iTunes, iPod and AppStore. Whilst the likes of the Android market are impressive, and surely catching up with Apple, it has to be said that the AppStore is superior in terms of both potential and quantity of available Apps. The iPhone 4S has someone else benefit over the Samsung Galaxy S2; the fact that it is new. Therefore, Apple has had more time to contain its most recent technology in the handset. The new Siri and iCloud features are good examples of this, and it gives Apple the edge as this kind of technology was not around when the Samsung Galaxy S2 was released.

Choosing between the iPhone 4S and the Samsung Galaxy S2 is a close call. Technically, it would be rather unfair to say that one is great than the other. As the manufacturer's flagship phones, each has its own strengths and weaknesses. I believe that the ultimate deciding factor would be down to the individual's preference for whether Android or iOs, but having said that, Apple may have the edge thanks to its all new features like Siri and iCloud, as Samsung currently has nothing similar to offer.

Having An Affair At Work? 3 Ways Your manager Can Find Out

It used to be the stolen kisses in the cleaning closet and the joint company trips, but today's tracking of illicit employee behavior has reached a new level of surveillance. Approximately every transportation and every message is tracked, recorded and cataloged by a company's It department. Here are three things to watch out for if you are personalizing your work communications:

Email - In the Us, organizations own the email that their employees use to show the way work. They own all the communication, even email flagged as private. Routinely fellowships are being required to capture and store all electronic emails in the case of litigation and discovery.

BlackBerry

This means that if you are using the company's email ideas to send notes and messages to your lover while at work, there is an very high likelihood that it is being captured, stored, and indexed for later retrieval. There is third-party software on the store that is able to actively monitor internal email within a corporation.

Having An Affair At Work? 3 Ways Your manager Can Find Out

Two examples are Mimesweeper for Microsoft replacement from Clearswift and present for Novell GroupWise from Gwava. And don't think you are being sneaky by deleting those emails right after you send them. Today, most email systems allow the employee to delete the email from their local storage, but support a copy on the corporate email server that is later backed up.

A rule of thumb with email...life is short, email is forever.

Instant Messaging - Relatively new in the corporate space, Im has been around a long time amongst teens, now referred to as Chat. Instant messaging allows instantaneous transportation between two computers. One someone writes something which appears promptly on the other person's computer. The other recipient is able to promptly sass back in real-time.

Instant Messaging used to be considered a fairly safe means of communicating something in secret, but today many fellowships track the ports straight through the company's firewall that allows chat. This monitoring frequently includes capturing of all chat messages for warehouse as part of the electronic transportation of the organization.

Chat also allows the sending of live video feed as well as documents. Chat messages frequently pass straight through a third-party server and can be captured and stored; also, most Chat software today has self-operating archiving built in. Even if you believe it is being deleted on your side, the other side might be capturing everything.

Dateline's To Catch a Predator is an perfect example of people who conception they were chatting in secret only to have their secret messages read aloud on national television. A company delivering Instant Messaging Monitoring is Pearl Software with their Im Echo product.

Texting - With the advent of movable devices, texting has gained popularity in the Us, especially within fellowships deploying BlackBerry devices. Texting is the quality to send a text message between devices similar to the manner that Instant Messaging sends messages between computers.

Referred to as Sms, or Texting, these devices can send short or long messages level to the recipient without using an email client or email server. More and more fellowships are now using software support for BlackBerry company Server from Gwava to track the transportation of their employees using texting devices.

One company deployed BlackBerry Sms and Pin tracking software with a sampling of their corporate log files. Within the first hour a Senior executive was identified as having an affair with someone else employee simply from the content of the text messages.

In the good old days you could avoid getting caught at work having an affair by being discreet and not showing any outward signs, but today, a short email, an errant instant message, or a quick indiscreet text can get you tracked, caught, and exposed Approximately as fast as you sent the message in the first place. A word of advice, don't leave an e-trail. Stick to love notes passed under the desk. Your occupation may just thank you.
