BlackBerry 7290 Smartphone device software update

I bought a new 7290 on ebay, which was originally set to Vodaphone.  I use Rogers Wireless in Canada, on a pay-as-you-go basis.  The phone has version 4.0.2.35 of the software, on the 18.0.138 platform.  I want to upgrade the software to version 4.1, so I can use Bluetooth to connect to my computer.

I can download the software from the Blackberry/Rogers site, but if I charge it on the 7290 is I meet any Rogers / Vodaphone / version conflict problems platform?

There are two different versions of 4.1, the site of the lists for the 7290: 4.1.0.377 on the Platform 1.8.0.154 and 4.1.0.309 on the Platform 1.8.0.147

Important: download and use only the OS device for your specific device model.

If you have downloaded the OS from another provider wireless - remove Vendor.xml just after the device operating system package is installed on your desktop computer.

After that, plug in your device to the computer and launch the Blackberry Desktop Manager/App Loader to update the software for the device.

Don't forget to back up your sensitive data on the device before the device OS update.

  • BlackBerry, Blackberry Z10 Z10 - Device Software Update bberror-bb10-0015

    My intentions were to complete a security wipe and re - install the latest OS.  I now have bberror-bb10-0015 (I think that's what it's called).  When I go to the site to get the latest update, it seems error down on downloading at 98%.  I continue to retry 98%, but it keeps the slightest mistake.

    Of course, I'm stuck with my unusable BB... I had to switch my SIM card to a 4 s (barf).

    Any idea on how I can get the OS loaded on my Z10?

    Any help would be appreciated fully.  Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    From what you have reported, I can not say what method you used to install the operating system. Method of OTA update? LINK? Automatic charger? I would say that, if you used the LINK, then you try now autoloader... and if we apply.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Mac user of the device software update

    How do I update my device software if I don't Winzozz?  Is this the end of my BB?  Am I obligated by an iPoophone?

    First of all, iPoophone... I love it!

    I'm the take that you are on a Mac, right?  There are two options for installing software of BlackBerry device while on a Mac, the easiest being to use Bootcamp or a similar Virtual Machine that allows you to run Windows on your Mac.  Of course, this requires a copy of Windows, so...

    It also seems that RIM is developing a BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac.  A catch-all current installation files are made for Windows, it will be not as easy as you might think.  Sounds this good, this is the first step towards the development of records for Mac OS installer that can be run off BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac.  Now, is the last part of this speculation on my behalf, so don't hold me to it then I have absolutely no idea when it might come out, but it gives hope!  Keep an eye on official news on this as soon as it is available.

    Next option is to use the Wireless Upgrade option if your provider supports.  For example, I know that Verizon will allow upgrades wireless directly on your phone, no need for a computer at all.  Ask your carrrier for more information.

    As an alternative, you can also go to your BlackBerry dealer and ask them to update your phone for you.  Most of the dealers will be repeated, especially if they are not too busy.

    And another well - ask a friend with a PC please, pretty please allow you to use their computer for the upgrade.

    In any case, although that there no incredibly easy solution, I hope that the foregoing shows that it is not a hopeless case and options are available.

    EDIT: Beaten to the punch of sdgardne!

  • BlackBerry Smartphone Device Software 4.5

    I discovered that RIM device software version 4.5 is available today on the BlackBerry site.  I downloaded the upgrade, he ran and I rebooted as instructed.  However, now when I run my Desktop Manager software and try to upgrade the operating system, he tells me that everything is up-to-date, even if my camera still works 4.2.2.

    Has anyone else had this experience and what (if any) I can do to correct?  I have been waiting eagerly for this update for several months now and I was very happy to get actually install it... now nothing.

    Please notify.

    Thank you

    Steve

    In fact, not ALLOWED to the company in the United States or other countries, has released OS 4.5 8830 yet.

    RIM does not directly to the OSs, free carriers do.

    The beta version is floating around the internet... here and there. I haven't looked for him since I don't need, but I know I've read some users get it and download. I will only caution against that, because you're not sure what you get.

  • BlackBerry 10 Help! Software update 10.3.1.1565 ruined my phone

    Hello

    I just updated my Z10 software at 10.3.1.1565. This update came with the Amazon appstore app, which I can not uninstall, remove, or change permissions for.

    Now, whenever I try to access appstore from amazon and other applications like Skype, Viber or Tango, I get an error message saying unfortunately, "the com.android.systemapps process has stopped." It forces me to click 'ok' to get rid of the messege, only to make it appear new 2 seconds later.

    I can see the apps running in the background, behind the error message, but I can't use them because the error messge keeps popping up and there is nothing to do but click on 'ok '.

    Since I installed this software update, warms up my phone and the battery is drained like crazy. It would be 100% charged and an hour later, it falls to 20%

    Can someone please help me solve this?

    OK, so here's what I did

    I followed your steps and downloaded the auto charger and I have everything I could using Blackberry link (full backup), then I slept on it to see what would happen to the phone if I just leave everything as it is saved.

    All hell broke loose from there, I woke up to a phone battery drained. I loaded and it works, then it starts to give me all kinds of errors on certificates of google and others that I could not read because they just kept popping up so fast.

    I decided to delete my phone. He began to wipe, then power off and on again showing the screen wipe and it kept this loop.

    And I went to base and connected the phone to my laptop and open blackberry link used the software device reload from there. It took time, like 8 hours.

    Needless to say that everything was gone. The phone was as it had never been used, but at least there is no error message.

    Then, I used the restore custom blackberry connection option to restore what I can without the application of the system. Relationship of Blackberry had a long list of applications that could not be restored. So, I took a note to download them later.

    It worked

    I always have the latest version of the software that works fine now. I checked all my accounts and I downloaded all the apps that I need and they work now too my contacts, media and documents are all there.

    I didn't even need to use the auto-loader or wheel with Knowyou.

    Thank you very much for your help, you've inspired this solution

    Hello

    After I lost my previous 9900 BB, I got a new (same number, same carrier, same plan).

    With this new 9900 BB, I can not add the Korean language (or any language) on it while with my old one, I might add it through the software for device through "Applications".

    I did some research on the internet, and everything that I could find is that: I have to use the device software and add it in the 'Applications' section by clicking on the icon "+" beside the straight line that appears when I develop the section "basic Blackberry Applications.

    But I can't find the 'Basic Blackberry Applications' section in the 'Applications' on the software of the device! Nor any relating to the language section. All I can see through the "Applications" on the device software is the apps that I have already installed on my device.

    I'm looking for the line "basic Blackberry Applications.

    Or y at - it another way to add the Korean language on my device?

    Please help me ~ I need to write in Korean when I write to my family.

    FYI, my operator is Bouygues Telecom (France).

    Start by looking carefully for this KB:

    • KB05305 Location of support for BlackBerry smartphones

    That will tell you what bundle of BONES, in the file name of packages, to get and use in step 3 below.

    The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

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

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

    (3) download and install to your PC, the BB OS package you want:

    (4) If this OS package comes from one carrier other carrier for which your BB was built, then remove, on your PC, all copies of the SELLER. 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

    (5) run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC. If, during the process, your BB votre BB a '507' error, simply unplug the power cord of the BB USB and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    Do not forget to save.

    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:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones DTM & software update to the device

    I was always under the impression that I needed to download and install the latest software for my carrier device (for my PC) before I can update my BlackBerry OS.

    However, I had a PC brand new, installed the latest 5.0.1 BlackBerry Desktop Manager software and then plugged a device with an earlier version of the operating system installed.

    The loading of the DTM he told me that there is newer software available and asked if I want to update the device.

    Can someone tell me where it's getting this update since? It's directly at RIM or it sees somehow what carrier I use and get updates of my career?

    If it's directly at RIM is a generic OS update and it will be OK to install?

    Thank you

    The notification is made by RIM, like a match for your device PIN to your carrier.

    So, if your operator has released an upgrade higher than DM sees on your device, he advises the upgrade.

    Me, I would not recommend upgrades "DM on the web. I've seen too many of them go very wrong.

    Download the full operating system and install it manually.

  • Smartphones blackBerry Curve 8900 Device Software for Rogers - DAMAGED Setup FILE

    Hi all

    I was wondering if someone else ran into this problem (if there is no BlackBerry Rogers on this forum). I tried to download and run the software for the device for Rogers out of the BlackBerry and the installation site, I came across the following error message:

    "Error 1335. The file 'Data1.cab' required for this installation is damaged and cannot be used. This may indicate a netowkr error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package. »

    When I try clicking on ignore, I get this message:

    "Error 2350. FDI Server error. "

    I wish that I was good enough to know what that means, but I'm completely lost here. I tried to install this on two machines (XP Home SP2) and Vista, both give me the same problem.

    I feel there may be a problem with the software on the site. Could someone else confirm this or get an idea of what to do?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones later Software Update for Bold 9700 PROBLEMS! Help, please!

    I know there is already a post on this topic, but this problem requires immediate attention.  Received an email this morning telling me there was an update of software available.  Plugged into the Desktop Manager and installed.  Went well until that right after the restart.  A frozen everything in closing the restart and from the restoration.  Now, all my data disappeared from my phone, I have no e-mail capabilities, no internet access, etc.  Now when I plug in the Office Manager he's just here saying that it connects to the phone, so now I can't even use a restore point to just run.  Right now I have a phone that has nothing of my data and can only make calls and send texts... might as well have a nokia from the old school!  I use this phone every day to work.  I need to work and so far no feedback of any type for a solution.  And of course you can not contact Blackberry via phone or chat to get help, who don't pee at all!  Between my phone freezing and having need of a hard reboot every day or so for the past month and now the matter today, I'm ready to think about Android.  That I hate because I love my blackberry.  Did someone's Blackberry out there listen to/read such things?  Need to get this fixed fast number.  Help, please!
