Another blackBerry smartphones updated OS Post!

Dear community well informed,

I searched the database and seen several messages on the OS updates but none on my specific situation. So forgive me to see another OS question.

I have a BB Curve 8330 with Verizon service. I recently downloaded a 3rd party app that has delivered an error message when I tried to launch. Their tech support staff told me I need to update my OS to solve the problem. I tried to do by connecting the phone to my pc and running a desktop software, but when I click on 'update my device' Desktop Software tells me "There is no available BlackBerry Device Software updates."

Does this mean that my ISP (Verizon) did not approve the OS versions after that I am running (v4.5.0.175)? I saw a reference to some other posts to the 'portal' carrier, but I don't know what it is or how to find.

I've seen instructions on how to bypass the thing limiting depending on carrier, therefore not need someone who repeats. Somehow, I feel like the carrier approval is there for a reason and I'm too chicken to upgrade to a version beyond this one.

Thanks a lot for all the replies.

Chris

Hi and welcome to the Forums!

The possible disadvantage only a bundle of BONES else update that your carrier is supported. Each company is responsible for all official support for their customers. Therefore, they get the OS from RIM packages and then decide if they will take it out to their customers. If the desktop, or the BB software offers an update, then it is likely that your carrier has not published a (the download portal is your source to check). But, via portals and procedures that you already know, you can install any other OS new carriers. The only downside is that your carrier may refuse to provide you with official support until you've been in return for their supported version. But, contrary to some rumors, your warranty is not voided.

Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphones updated software now issues:(aider!!)

    Hi guys. so I've updated my software on my bb curve 8520... Well the bb desktop software had asked me to do the experience works best with my phone. but it turns out to be the opposite.

I can do to fix all these technical stuff... im convinced this isn't the physical phone that is damaged. your help will be very appreciated. thanx

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Given what you describe, I think that is better to a clean OS reload. The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below.

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

    6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

    You can also try the "skeleton OS Reload procedure" in an attempt to circumscribe the precise causal element:

    1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
    2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1
    3. If the behavior does not immediately, then run for as long as necessary to make you to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
    4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
    5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

    When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

    If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

    If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

    You may also use these tips:

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I suggest the following, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message to your BB to come...) Please wait for this before moving on to the next step):

    (1) registry HRT

    (2) remove and return Service directories

    • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service

    (3) restart to take batt

    • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If not, then you need to provide more information... for instance, "cannot connect to app world" isn't really we say exactly what is happening in your situation.

  • BlackBerry smartphones update AND EVERYTHING to LOSE! Warnings for the updates are necessary

    I was and am still sort of next to me.

    I received an announcement / notice on my blackberry Curve today that I needed an update, now being the novice user to the technology in the sense of phone I did as he asked. I've updated, woooohoooo, fine, now my phone will be even better, right?

    WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I LOST EVERYTHING, MY PHOTOS (3 TAKES JUST 2 HOURS PREVIOUS) MY VIDEOS AND BUSINESS CONTACTS...

    So what I did? Well, first of all, I cried (it has been a month really incredibly bad), so I'm crazy and cussed and almost taken over my van and drove my phone because how I just lost all the evidence, I would need to win in an upcoming trial. I felt that all hope was lost.

    Well, instead of flipping out that I was going I thought ok, I'll call T-Mobile and speak to a REP Smartberry Blackberry, they will know what to do as always, right? Well, it was a loss of 12 minutes on hold. He said once you update, unless you have made a backup on the computer or have a memory card and saved individually for every single photo and video on what then everythings gone.

    I said I just moved last week and a half and have not been able to download my stuff to the computer and don't know where my cord is, besides I said since when do I need to download everything and worry about losing things due to an update. I update my computer all the time and do not lose photos and others.

    He said to update your BlackBerry is like defragment your computer, you will lose information. Well, I guess ignorance is a blessing because I defragment often and have never lost a file. (I know in all cases)

    Anyway that I felt that he put the nail in my coffin, he don't mind not connect me to a 'specialist blackberry' waisting their time when I don't have back up before an update. I tried to inform him that the update didn't state that I could lose all the data, it didn't care. Let's say I was a little rude with my frustrations and hung up.

    And then I contemplated driving on my new phone and then some.

    I then started my own investigations in my phone. I can't tell you how or where I found it exactly. But I found a way to cancel my download and return to my original settings.

    Well, I thought that I is not got nothing else to lose literally so I tried.

    Guess what?

    I'M A HAPPY CAMPER! No mind thanks to you, T-Mobile or Blackberry forums. But my pictures and my video evidence is back.

    And I can tell you this much, as I fear, the new update can puke!

    For the brief time I got it, he stunk. To now record videos of it tells me to insert a memory card, there is already one in there? And it seemed not so good.

    Technicians of Blackberry, creative or what you have, thanks to include a warning to your customers that they SHOULD back UP THEIR DATA before the UPGRADE IF THEY CARE TO KEEP THEIR FILES.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    First of all I'm not an employee of or associated products Blackberry, RIM

    I am a user of devices such as you, I

    I'm glad to hear that you did a good job on your phone! Bravo for you!

    I have two questions:

    I see two posts listed for you, both in this thread,

    "I'M A HAPPY CAMPER! The spirit of no thanks to you two T-Mobile or Blackberry forums. "But my pictures and my video evidence is back... »

    You asked for help in another forum or are you referring to this forum of Blackberry?

    Also, please, let us know what version of the Desktop Manager you have, what kind of PC or MAC, and what version of device operating system that you are using. (on the blackberry, click the icon options)

    Scroll to all on the first page, look for the version in this format vX.X.X.XXX... P; lease send it with your Blackberry model, OK? ')?

    Now second question, do you need manuals, software, or procedures? I want to assure you, that you can access all the correct information for other upgrades. If we can help you with any outstanding issues please let me know.

    A point for you to consider in the future. Just because there is a new version of the software whether 3rd party or device OS, you decide when or if you want to install it. If your phone works well, you can install if necessary when you have the time, a good backup and read about it here. If your phone does not work well (come here first) we can help you solve the two problems or say if you need to upgrade you differently.

    Yes, there are some members of staff who stop every day and works behind the scenes and with users in messages, other that expressing the frustration was there any specific information you need of them?  An article on the upgrade, or by using the desktop software?

    Thank you

  • BlackBerry Smartphones updated BB App world... and lost all the apps?

    I had to make an exchange of phones last week.  Did this and reinstalled several applications on the new phone. Finally I was told had to do an update of the BB App world... Done this, and they are all gone now.  They are not under the uninstalled or other devices tab.  Help!

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello!

    I suggest that you clear the cache of the AppWorld application:

    1. open the App World

    2. go to my world

    3. follow one (and only one!) of these steps:

    3. for the BB keyboard-oriented - hold down the ALT key and press on, in the sequence R, then S, then T

    3B. for touch screen only BBs - hold the num-lock (! 123 button) so that it hangs and then press on, in the sequence 3, then 4, then)

    3 c for the most recent (e, g., OS6 and 7) BB s, see this KB:

    • KB24714 How to clear the cache of BlackBerry App World

    4 AppWorld must close

    5. If your BB locks after issuing clear cache, do a battery pull reboot

    6. return to AppWorld/MyWorld (it can be slow, while it re - sync).

    If (4) stage arrives not as described, then the empty the cache failed.

    I hope it'll work for you! Good luck and let us know!

  • BlackBerry smartphones updated my OS but lost App World and all of my current applications. Torch 9810. Help, please.

    I plugged my lamp to my laptop and the desktop software told me that there was an OS update (version 7.0 bundle 2406 v7.0.0.585 platform 5.0.0734). I thought fair enough - probably extra security, etc. on the new version so I advanced and loaded after doing a full backup.

    This delete all my contacts, media, app world and all the applications that I had downloaded. I did a restore but then put it back into place all my contacts and the media, app world and all applications seem to have disappeared, and I can't seem to get them or even to make global icon reappear.

    Help, please.

    I am very surprised that RIM has put an update out there that removes all your stuff off your phone without even warn that it can do?

    Thank you.

    Well, RIM develops upgrades of the OS, your mobile operator "put out there" for you to upgrade.

    And there are many warnings rich to do upgrades of the OS without first accomplishing your own backup device independent... but this is not serious now.

    1. Anywho, do... go into Options > device > Applications, search AppWorld on your list and IF it is, delete it.
    2. Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart.
    3. Now, use your browser to go to the www.blackberry.com/appworld and download/install AppWorld again.

    Let us know how it goes.

  • Questions email blackBerry Smartphones by default - poster.148 upgrade

    Update went without a hitch (other than to have to restore my backup the data manually - twice.)  First time, no schedule data).

    I have four e-mail accounts.  I put my default Services in the messaging (CMIME) Options to the mailbox: XYZ.

    When I send an email from any of the four accounts and leave the drop down at the top to , it seems that my bb chooses an e-mail account to send the message.  According to what I type in the TO: field, the outgoing account is selected vs. it being left by default.

    If I leave it at DEFAULT, I chose a TO:, and then the outgoing account may change to 123 instead of the default value of XYZ.  Another email is sent to an address or a different contact and the outgoing is now ABC rather than left to default XYZ.  Very weird.

    Has battery pulls, books and Service verification options to the title of email accounts for basic Message e-mail settings - mail Services are the same as the default Services.

    Ideas?  Questions?

    AGE

    Hello!

    If I understand you correctly, the device moves the account 'to' in which you send 'to '. Fix? If so, I believe that it is in fact a function - he remembers that account you last used as 'from' who 'to'... and automatically re - use it next time. Now, since you just updated, it may need some time to re - learn who ' of ' go with which "to of"... "

  • BlackBerry Smartphones update Blackberry Curve 8310 and lost all data

    Help, please!

    I received a text message that I needed to update my Blackberry Curve 8310 4.3 (I think).  I went to my computer and connected to blackberry.com and did the update.  The message then said that I had to update my Desktop Manager.  I've done both.  But she erased ALL my contacts and data.  No emails and worse still no address. My screen is completely different.  My Office Manager was not my old data.

    It was a bad day, has laid off and now all my contacts are gone.

    If someone knows a way to retrieve my contacts, I would be very grateful.

    Hallelujah!

    It worked!  It's a good day, found the RPI buried on the disk and retrieved.  I must somehow be saved from a month ago.

  • Problem of blackBerry Smartphones updated my device?

    Hi, I have a blackberry 8520 and I connected it to my laptop and desktop manager says there is an update to the phone so I clicked on update phone and it saved my phone then it tried to download the modules but it gets stuck to 604 of 658, it happens all the time , would be - it because im connected to a service mobile broadband? Because it's the only time his arrival

    Could be. Whenever you have problems updating your phone, it is often useful to make a gesture at once.

    First, download the new operating system on your computer and install it on your computer. Here is the download site. Once you have the software on your desktop computer (PC, right?), you can then do the update on your phone via the Desktop Manager and not to worry about connectivity issues to the course.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones No. self-posting

    The self-posting has stopped working on my 9000 "BOLD" for just text messaging. I don't know what is the exact name of the function, but it automatically displays an incoming text or e-mail provided I have remove the phone from the Holster with a few seconds of his arrival. I use the flip-top case provided with the phone.

    The feature is always working for email, but does not not for texting.

    It may seem like a small thing, but it's one of my favorite things about this phone. His chip, he knows that I'm on my phone when it vibrates so I can see what text or email I just got. I love not having to click an extra button to display incoming text

    With the BlackBerry device powered time, remove battery for a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    See if this corrects the gltich.
