I was trying to charge my 7290, connected to PC and waited for 2 hours. Then i looked it still has 25% battery (there was thunder near battery sign). Firstly I've tried to reboot it, so I take out battery put it in again and from that moment I can't turn it on. When It has battery, red flashlight lights for a few secs and then appears hour-glass, I wonder if i wait it will boot but i'm waiting for like 4 hours and still the same. I think it's rebooting from time to time because hour-glass sometimes dissapears for a few secs. What I can do with it? Please help!
Did you just get the device or have you been using it, if you have been using it I hope that you have a backup because your data will be lost? The repeating hour glass without booting up indicates a serious issue. You can try this to revive, just follow the steps exactly please.
I've read first and third topic that you've posted but I didn't saw the second one. Thanks for links.
You only need to use step two if step one doesn't work. Be patient in the third step because it can take a long time. If you follow the instructions exactly there is a VERY good chance your BB will be back in business shortly!
First way didn't work (not connected). Second did Now it's updated to 4.1 OS. Shame that I've lost my all sms messeages (i'm using it as second phone to contact with my girlfriend) but now I have lession for future - do more backups! Man really thanks for fast resplies and helping me. Huge beer for you
EDIT:
One more question. That new OS support only English but can I upload another laguages?
It started with a 365 error, then it came back after a reload. Then I got something that said "Type S,T,A,R,T," to reset, but I couldn't type anything.
Then I got the FFFFFFF, now the Desk top mgr says USB UNKNOWN and after I press next it does nothing.
All I get (connected to the PC or not) is 2 flashes from the red light every 3 seconds.

I've read your very helpful suggestions and tried your methods for my 7290 which has been showing the spinning dial for 2 days straight. However, when the Apploader wizard is open and I click Next, it looks like its thinking but then nothing happens. In the first method, after i get past the "push any button to continue" on the DOS prompt, i just get a flasing red and black DOS window where i can faintly make out the "Wipe" command for number 4, but nothing happens there either. Any more help you can give here?
And the way my problem started was that I was testing a friend's phone with my sim card so i had to take out my battery and when i put it back, it wouldnt come on except for the dial. Hope you can help.
7290 - I can't turn it on?
