Hi,

I just downloaded the latest 8120 OS from the site. But when I turn on the phone I get the following error:

Uncaught exception java.lang.illegalArgumentException

Whats does that mean??

Please help.

thanks

well, what is the model of your BlackBerry. You profile here says 8100. If you loaded the 8120 OS on a 8100, you'll have bigger problems.

OS must match the exact model #: 8100 = 8100OS; 8120 gets the 8120 OS, etc.

I hope someone knows how to use JL_CMDR!

I have the 8120 used to have 8100. And no, I dont kno how to use JL_CMDR, PLEASE HELP! I am panicking! What do I do??

[JSanders]

Eli, we are trying to help you. Calm down.

What happens on the BB after you get that exception error? Shut down, runs fine, what?

[ELIH2]

If i try to dial i get an error message and have to reset. also, a weird side effect is that when I go to my internet, my web n walk from t mobile has disappeared. Thanks for your help and sorry for my outburst!

[JSanders]

When you reset, you mean my pulling the battery and rebooting the device?

What is the filename of the OS you downloaded and installed?

[ELIH2]

This is the OS i downlaoded and installed:

Package Version: 4.3.0.172
Consisting of:
Applications: 4.3.0.99
Software Platform: 2.6.0.56
File name: 8120M_PBr4.3.0_rel172_PL2.6.0.56_A4.3.0.99_TIMItal y.exe
File size: 109.83MB


I mentioned earlier the error I get as soon as the phine starts from a battery pull reset:

Uncaught exception java.lang.illegalArgumentException

Then, once the error is gone (by pressing OK twice) if I try to dial voicemail the screen goesd white and I get the message:

App Error 523, RESET

[JSanders]

Do you have content protection enabled on your device?

[ELIH2]

how?

[JSanders]

You just need to wipe and reload the OS. Wipe with this:

[JSanders]

[ELIH2]

really sorry to keep buggin you but I can't seem to load jm_c,der on my computer, I am running Vista, it says i am about to install do i want to continue, i say yes, a black screen pops up for a second and disappears and thats it??

[ELIH2]

ignore my last post.. i have installed it. but, the big big problem i have is with th jl_cmder program. the instrictions tell me to remove the battery and then try to wipe. but when I remove the battery the phone goes "dead", and then I cant wipe??

[JSanders]

you can't wipe it then or you think you can't?

Just follow those instructions exactly as posted...

I am going to be gone a while, a couple hours, now, fingers crossed for you.

[ELIH2]

i'm aware that I am sounding insane but I am slowly going that way.

I am trying to use jl_cmder. I connect the phone to the computer. I pull the battery. After a couple of seconds a picture of a battery appears with a line through it. I press wipe in jl_cmder. a red screen comes up, it says trying to connect and then get the error message "debug com error during open", the instructions say try again and again, I have done it over 100 times. no luck. I am apprcoahing nervous breakdown

[ELIH2]

SOLVED IT , thanks for help!

[JSanders]

101 times worked ?

Good.

[ELIH2]

i did it with the battery in! And that worked!
