Quote:
Instructions for installing OS
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.
Good luck!

Just out of curiousity, where did you get the 8100? And how did it get the JVM 507?

The reason I ask is because we get A LOT of people that find BlackBerrys, most times they're locked, then they enter the password too many times incorrectly, and the device is stuck like yours. Then they come here looking for help.

Seeing as you're a new user and this is your first post, it seems a little suspicious. If it is indeed your friend's phone, then best of luck to you. If it is not you friend's phone, (I doubt you would tell us) I would recommend doing the right thing and returning it to its rightful owner.
