My Blackberry just died

stefano

Unfortunately the step don't match, and looks like my bb is nuked beyond repair. All this because of a stupid update

It's not 'beyond repair'.
Have you pulled the battery as suggested and tried a restart?

Several times, the reboot line that appears, stops at 2/3rds, and goes no further.

Then you will need it reflashed.

I am learning all manners of new terms. What is reflashing and how is it done?

BlackBerry DeskTop software

Install on your PC and then connect your BB to the PC via USB lead.

The DeskTop software will have access to the download below via the Update function.
But it you want to replace the software completely(Flash) you might like to have the download separate.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 Vodafone UK software

I have tried to connect my BB to my laptop with the Blackberry Desktop software, but it cannot connect to BB because BB is not booted.

I am currently in Italy on holidays. How much is the repair likely to cost?

You don't need to pay for anything.

The instructions that you need are in post #4, the software in post #17.

That is all that you need.

The one thing the instructions fail to tell you is that you need to install the Desktop Manager and the Vodafone BB software to the computer before beginning.

Though those steps may be indicated in the video(I haven't watched it)
