How to create a backup?

Attention! Resetting will erase all data on the Blackberry Curve 8520 phone. If you have not backed up your contacts, images, videos, documents and everything else, you must do this, otherwise you will lose all the personal information that was on the device.

In order not to lose your data, follow these recommendations.

Drop photos, documents and videos onto your computer via the USB cable. You can also use Google Photos to backup images, and the Google Drive cloud service is suitable for documents and folders, but you can “upload” the number of files to it. To expand the storage will have to pay.
In order not to lose contacts and applications, activate synchronization with the cloud in the settings. Go to the "System" - "Advanced" - "Backup" path. Turn on backup to your Google Account.

Once you're done, you can run the Hard Reset Blackberry Curve 8520.

Samsung Galaxy S7 (Samsung Experience Shell)

Go to settings convenient for you.
At the bottom, click on the “General Settings” tab.
Select Reset (Archive and Reset).
Tap on "Reset Data."
Press the blue reset button.
Enter the device PIN and click “Next”.
Click “Delete All” (“Reset Device”).

Your phone will restart. It remains to configure it, as after the purchase.

Redmi Note 5 (MIUI firmware)

Open Settings.
Go to the "Advanced Settings" window.
Click "Backup and Reset."
Select "Reset Settings."
To delete absolutely all applications and files, check the "Clear internal memory" box.
It remains to click on "Reset Settings" and enter the password, if necessary.

Attention! As you can see, the main thing is to find the "Reset" section. In order not to “wander” in all parameters in the search for the right menu, it’s easier to enter the “Reset” query into the search window on the main page. Select the desired menu from the proposed list and you will immediately get into it. And then everything, as in the instructions.

How to execute Hard Reset Blackberry Curve 8520 through Recovery?

This is a relevant method if there is a malfunction on the phone that prevents it from loading. It is for such cases that you need a recovery mode through which Hard Reset will need to be performed.

If your phone is on, turn it off.
Hold the power and volume down buttons (if nothing happens, read our separate article on how to enter Recovery).
Instead of loading normally, you will see a menu where navigation is performed using the volume keys (move the cursor) and power (select).
Go down to the “Wipe data / factory reset” category and click on it with the power button.
Highlight “Yes” to confirm the reset.

Upon completion of the reset, the device will go into reboot and will display a standard welcome and settings window. Again, the menu names may vary slightly depending on the model.

Introducing: BlackBerry Curve 8520.

Since its introduction, the BlackBerry Curve 8520 has gained a reputation as a “frequent customer” in service centers. On the one hand, people are happy to buy such gadgets, creating mass character. On the other hand, there is a whole set of software errors. For example, the most common, perhaps, problem with the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is the inability to connect it to the computer’s USB port. Rather, there are no physical problems connecting. But the device does not recognize itself. And this is a software error, fortunately fixed in subsequent batches. However, a huge batch, of course, of Chinese manufacture has spread so widely across Russia that you can find such devices in Euroset stores, in Svyaznoy and in M-Video. Not to mention the markets.

We connect the BlackBerry Curve 8520 to the computer.

Let's list what we need.

The first is the computer itself. He, of course, is available. Secondly, a USB cable. You can use any, not necessarily branded. But beware of cheap thin cables that you can buy for 90 rubles in any store. Especially badly recommended are those cables that are equipped with a coil for twisting the wire. This is a frank marriage in 99% of cases. So, there are iron and wires.

Now about the program. Your best bet is to use the BlackBerry ExpressConnect program. The latest version is available for download here (download).

Using this utility, you can connect the BlackBerry Curve 8520 to a PC or Mac, change the device’s settings, install themes, ringtones, applications. An important feature of the program is the ability to work as a file manager. Moreover, the program will create a virtual disk on your computer (for example, Z), which will correspond to the connected BlackBerry Curve 8520, as is done for a regular flash drive.

ICQ for BlackBerry Curve 8520

As for ICQ, the choice here is great. You can download and install the original (native) ICQ client (download), you can download Miranda or QIP.
However, we propose to install exactly the native ICQ client, because the proctocol of data exchange often changes precisely with the aim of squeezing out other alternative ICQ clients from the market.

According to the rating of MobiReview magazine, the most popular game for the BlackBerry Curve 8520 at the end of the year was "Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards". However, I want to highlight other games. Among the toys that run on the BlackBerry Curve 8520, you will single out such hits (by the way, free), such as:

Flashing BlackBerry Curve 8520

If the software part of the device crashed or your device turned out to be from that batch with crooked firmware, then flashing the phone will help you. What is needed for this? Especially nothing. Everything is simple.

Download the latest firmware to your computer (download), now this is the version of BlackBerry-4799-4799,
download (download) and install ExpressConnect on your PC,
run ExpressConnect,
only after that we connect our BlackBerry Curve 8520 and a computer with a USB cable,
in the "advanced" section, select the "Update ROM" tab,
press the button "select ROM image" and select the downloaded file with firmware (first we extract the bin-file from the archive),
click the button "Update".

The firmware upgrade process takes about 30 seconds. After that, the device is reloaded. If everything went well, then you can check the firmware version by typing the combination * 0001 * kmeicump * 0001.
