BlackBerry Smartphones Can I update my OS 7 7.1 on a free sim card "BOLD"?

Hello.

can you help me?

Have a bold9790 free sim and I want to update my os 7.1 but the carrier I use does not sell the model and therefor doesn't have the operating system on the list there are official updates. Can I download a sw of another carrier (Vodafone Portugal say) and use my sim TMN on my "BOLD"?

Moreover, I know that I can update any os for the specific model by deleting the vendor.xls file, but that ' s not what I want to do.

Thanks in advance,

Best regards

a loyal bb fan forever,

You MUST remove the vendor.xml in order to load the OS from another carrier. I don't think you can use a Mac to do this.

Also, did you read my post above? There is NOTHING in the vendor.xml who is responsible for the device. The vendor.xml indicates to the computer load the OS from another carrier device or not. Believe me, I know. I did it for many years.

The code of the salesperson (different from vendor.xml), hardcoded to the device, indicates to the charger how and what .cod files to load on the device, not the file vendor.xml on the PC. With OS another carrier you get exactly the same files that the brand of the device is supposed to get. It will always be 100% OEM.

RIM builds of the operating system and then sends them to the carriers for testing. Each undertaking may decide whether or not they accept OS and if they need RIM to change something and build another OS. The OS is built on the model of the device, not especially for a carrier.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not update AppWorld 907 invalid COD

    Hi guys. I bought my Torch 9800 (v6.0.0.570) in 2011 and so far the problem is still not resolved. Everytime I open the AppWorld

    -A message appears: "To continue to use Blackberry App World, you must upgrade your current version."

    - Then I download the update.

    Whenever the 99% achieved download bar, suddenly a message appears "907 invalid COD".

    I can't even delete my BB AppWorld. There is no option "Delete" in "Application Management" or "Modules".

    Hi Firdaus92

    In this case, it is advisable to upgrade the version of your operating system to the v6.0.0.756

    Search and download your OS and everything above applies

    By sdgardne 

     

    However, here's what I propose...

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

    (1) make sure you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find complete instructions via the link in my sig auto below. (It's probably debatable given the errors you have... it is likely that your data are already parts of your device, which means that you must now rely on a backup you took before that happened.)

    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:

    I also called my operator, Orange and they said that my cell phone should be updated if problem...

    Thank you!

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    From a PC, you can install any bundle of BONES to a BB via this procedure:

    Note Although written to "recharge" and the storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade or recharge any BB device model - depends on the operating system package you download and install on your PC. You can even use a different OS package carriers simply insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, a file named PROVIDER. XML. remember that you remove from your PC, no matter what other packages devices OS BB as having more than one installed on the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.

    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 Can I update my OS?

    I have a Tour 9630, which I just bought through ebay from a US reseller. Its an unused, Verizon unlocked phone with 4.7.1.40 version. Rogers is my ISP. Anyone know of any reason why I shouldn't be able to upgrade the software? Says Blackberry Desktop updates are available, but the U.S. dealer said I should check with Blackberry first before the upgrade.

    Rogers probably lacked the last official update for it. Please click the link below to update.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not update PRIV Marshmallow

    Hello

    I received a notification of system update and downloaded. After tapping 'Install the update', the system tried to put it off, but he could not (she repeated "Switch off" and he hung up on it). After waiting a few minutes, I long pressed the power button and the system has rebooted to 5.1.1. Now when I check for system updates, it shows that there is an update of the system for a fraction of a second and then it says that the system is up-to-date.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    J

    I should have been patient. It takes about a minute and a half (or more) to turn off after the download!

    I realized that the hard way. I factory reset the phone, received the notification again, and again it took an eternity to stop

    It's done now.

    Thank you
