This tutorial will focus on fixing \/ upgrading a Blackberry 10 device&#8217;s OS using the Autoloader technique.<\/p>\n<h3>What is an Autoloader?<\/h3>\n<p>An Autoloader is an offline OS installer which enables you load or flash the OS to a Blackberry 10 device offline (without needing an internet connection). The Autoloader file runs into Gigabytes in size and is a smarter technique over the OTA method when multiple devices are involved or you would want to repeat the procedure in the nearest future.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I load just any Autoloader to\u00a0my phone?<\/h3>\n<p>No. You best get the Autoloader for the exact model and variant of your phone.<\/p>\n<p>Note that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All Z10 variants (STL100-2, -3, -4) are the same except\u00a0for STL100-1.<\/li>\n<li>All Z30 variants (STA100-x) are the same.<\/li>\n<li>All Q5 (SQR100-x) and Q10 (SQN100-x) variants are the same.<\/li>\n<li>Q5, Q10 and P9983 can use the same autoloader<\/li>\n<li>Z30, Classic and Leap can use the same autoloader<\/li>\n<li>Z10 (stl2-3) and p9982 can use the same autoloader<\/li>\n<li>Z3 and Passport can&#8217;t use other models Autoloaders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How do I check my phone&#8217;s model and model number?<\/h3>\n<p>To do this, navigate to System Settings &gt; About. Another method is to take out the battery and look behind the phone&#8217;s plate.<\/p>\n<h3>What do I need to successfully use the Autoloader method?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The Autoloader.exe file for Windows.\u00a0Mac users can use Bootcamp<\/li>\n<li>A Windows \/ Mac PC<\/li>\n<li>USB cord<\/li>\n<li>The Blackberry 10 device<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Is there anything I need to do before running the Autoloader.exe?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure you have sufficient battery on the PC to avoid an interruption<\/li>\n<li>Use a good USB cord and port to avoid an interruption<\/li>\n<li>Double-check to be sure that the Autoloader is for your exact model and variant<\/li>\n<li>Backup the phone (if possible) using Blackberry Link<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How do I\u00a0load a Blackberry 10 OS using Autoloader?<\/h3>\n<p>1.

The phone will auto reboot (could do so several times) once Autoloader is finished and then boot up to the setup screen<\/p>\n<h3>My Blackberry 10 device is in a bootloop after installing \/ upgrading the OS using Autoloader, what do I do?<\/h3>\n<p>This is quite normal after using the loader, just give it some time and it&#8217;ll boot up. Ensure to charge the battery using an external charger incase its drained. If the bootloop persists for more than 30 minutes then re-run Autoloader or try using another Autoloader file.<\/p>\n<p>Hovatek&#8230;.just a button away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my previous articles on fixing nuked Blackberry devices (refer to https:\/\/www.hovatek.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-repair-a-corrupt-nuked-or-crashed-blackberry-operating-system-software-os\/) and upgrading a Blackberry OS (https:\/\/www.hovatek.com\/blog\/how-to-downgrade-upgrade-or-update-a-blackberry-operating-system-os-to-a-prefered-version\/), I talked only briefly about such procedures on Blackberry 10 devices.
