So my first Z10 bricked after an official ATT update in june, never turned on again, blackberry support couldn't figure it out, eventually had to ship out a new one to me. Since then I've seen a few new threads from people stating that this has happened to their Z10. Some people said it was during updates, others just from updating apps within BB World.
Long story short- my phone bricked again!! Anyone else with this problem or any possible solutions?? Also, is there some way we could put different bricked threads into one? It's hard to search for solutions when so many unrelated things come up first.
I had loaded 10.2.1055 almost a month ago and everything was running very well. Couldn't have been happier with BB, even after my phone died a month after having it for no reason. So I stopped doing official updates (if they were just going to ruin my phone, why not try leaks then, right?), and have never been happier! But today I opened BB Maps and the screen faded out. It doesn't turn on or respond at all. If I take the battery out then plug it into a charger or my PC the red light will come on steady for maybe 10-20 seconds then go off. It actually started to restart itself about 5 minutes after the screen first faded away but it only made it a quarter of the way.
So does anyone know of reloading an OS on a bricked phone that won't turn on/respond to anything (preferably a leaked OS)? I did try the IE and BB Link reloads, but each requires you to "turn your phone off", and because it can't even turn on, I can't get past this step (which is basically the first step). Also, I can click preferences> reload OS in BB Link, but my phone never shows up on the left hand side where it normally does.
Thanks to everybody beforehand. Just a very frustrating experience. Something that is embarrassing for a BB fan when I already feel like people can't understand why I choose this company lol
