When this occurs, the device is considered nuked or bricked, but if these steps are followed, it is simple to fix the device, and reload the operating system back to it’s original factory settings.
As long as regular backups have been made of personal settings, emails, etc., it is possible to reload all information back onto the device after this repair has been made.

The first step is to go to a cell carriers site and download the current operating system for the device. A quick Google search, such as Telus BlackBerry Operating System, will lead to the download site. Download the device software, follow the instructions to install on the PC.

Double Click on AppLoader
Here you will see the Operating System files that will be loaded onto the device. Normally, if upgrading to a leaked or official Operating System from a different carrier, the Vendor.xml file would be deleted. In this case, it is not deleted because the OS that is going to be loaded on is for the carrier of the phone.
NB: It was attempted to load another carriers OS on the device used for demonstrating this, by removing the Vendor.xml file, but the OS refused to load, and the 507 Error Screen continued to be displayed. It is highly recommended that when fixing a bricked BlackBerry to use the original carriers OS. After the OS is loaded, these same steps can be used to load onto the phone if wanting to upgrade to a leaked or official OS from a different carrier, but the Vendor.xml file must be deleted.

The Communication Port Selection screen will be displayed and the connection will be blank. This is a very important step where speed is essential. Plug in the phone, (do not insert the battery) and the sound indication from the PC will indicate the driver being installed from the BlackBerry device.
This screen will stay up, but the connection will change to unknown, and the next button will be made available.
The connection box will now change to USB-PIN:UNKNOWN. This is where the NEXT button must be clicked quickly.
If the BlackBerry device has been displaying the 507 screen, urgency isn’t required, but if the phone has been caught in a constant reboot stage, it is imperative that the next button is clicked before the Application Loader reads and identifies the PIN of the device.
If the PIN displays, cancel the whole process, unplug the phone, and restart the whole process again, ensuring that the next button is clicked before the PIN shows. This is what stops the phone from rebooting from the damaged Operating System.

Also known as BlackBerry Storm2, the BlackBerry 9550 is very easy to hard reset. The smartphone was released at the end of 2009 and is popular for its efficiency, as well as the TFT capacitive touchscreen with 65K colors. This article will explain how to get rid of various software issues, including errors such as “reload software 513” and the error 507. If you’ve been dealing with many freezes lately, you forgot the passcode, or the phone is generally running slow, this procedure might be the best you can do.
You might have also heard of it under the name of a master reset, which is a simple process that reloads the factory software and removes all possible viruses. By practically erasing all user data, you make sure to get rid of all bugs and bring the smartphone back to its original state. We do, however, recommend creating a backup before getting started.
Running on BlackBerry OS, the device comes with a Li-Ion 1400 mAh battery that supports 5 hours of talk-time in 2G and 6 hours in 3G. It tends to be very good for surfing the internet, which is why it has a 3G network, it’s equipped with a Wi-Fi 802 hotspot and most apps are very easy to download and install for free. If you’re interested in photos and videos, the 3.15 MP camera located in the front is attached with autofocus, image stabilization and geo-tagging.
