BlackBerry Smartphones earlier versions of the operating system

I think to update my "BOLD" to the OS 5.0 but I wanted to know if the phone will keep a version of my old OS or if it deletes it.  I saw a video on youtube and the guy he said he 'could' save a version of it.  Also, when I checked the updates on my phone it says it was not all available even if on the Desktop Manager, it says that there is.  Is it still useful to upgrade? I've seen a version of it on an other "BOLD" and others that texting is a bit different and the camera being much better it looks not very different.  Because I hate change, I'm not sure I want to take the risk.  I wish you can customize the download and choose what is updated. If I update and it does not save a previous version of the operating system is there somewhere on this site that will allow me to put it back on?

The upgrade of the OS on your handheld does not keep a copy of the old operating system, when the new operating system is installed.  If you do a backukp through DTM then you will have all your data and applications (not BlackBerry).

If the upgrade does not work well, you need to go back to the previous operating system that works.  Then, you need to restore your data and applications.

WARNING 5.0.0.82 2 is a nightmare.  Search in this forum for all of the horrible experiences.

See this thread for a good discussion on the decommissioning and a bad experience with 5.00.822:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones "Tasks" icon after the operating system upgrade

    Just upgraded (?) to os 5.0.0.771, 9000 "BOLD" on Telstra in Australia.

    This update was offered by an email from RIM.

    The 'Task' icon has now disappeared, and I can't sync my tasks with Outlook.

    Any ideas how I can get the 'task' back, or if I then try to re - install the update?

    Thanks in advance!

    There is no 'BONES' at this level... you're probably citing the "software version", which is something different. Reference:

    • Article ID: KB23393 How to check the model number and the version of the OS on a BlackBerry smartphone

    In addition, it is not the true latest version available... However, your carrier may not have approved which is more recent (at least two since this version, I think).

    Here, in this community from user to user, anyone know (or if they know, reveal) this forward-looking information.

    There are other alternatives, but they depend on some things...

    If you used the "automatic" methods to perform the update, this process may well have led to a corruption that is the cause (many related things). Or the version you have installed may well have this fault (many report these).

    In any cause, the thing to do is to reload your operating system properly and see if that clears up the problem. Or, update to the really newer version and see if that clears it. The method that I recommend for your situation is autoloader... refer:

    With automatic charger, you can install any OS you can find a valid automatic charger, since regardless cases your carrier has approved or not. You can also use the ADF to return to any level of 'work' OS you want. But, honestly, I recommend you use an auto-loader to install the most recent version, then see if things clear up - if not, then use another automatic charger to retreat.

    Good luck!

  • Limited to the version of the operating system

    Is there a restriction on the version of the operating system that I can update my iPad to old mothers of?  In iTunes, it says that there is no update.  It's on iOS 5.1.1 but when I try to install a game to her, it says that I need at least version 7.1.  I guess the age of the iPad, MB292LL model, he can't possibly run the latest version of the operating system.  Please tell me I'm wrong.

    If she maxed out at 5.1.1 so this is a first generation iPad and Yes, unfortunately it can no longer be improved. Later this year when iOS10 comes out there will be additional models that can not be upgraded from 9 to 10.

    What you can try, never sync you your iPad to iTunes? If you try to download that game via iTunes if there is a version of the application remains compatible with 5.1.1 then who should download on iTunes and then you can sync it on the iPad.

    If they are not then you may just be stuck. The model of the iPad 1 is 5 years old, unfortunately, unless the users already have apps on it can be difficult to find a compatible more

  • Targeting different versions of the operating system with the same code

    Hello again,

    I'm looking to use some features of the OS 5.0 such as the transitional API.  Is there sort of having a base code that will compile in different versions of the JDE, but exclude the code blocks if the OS does not meet the requirements?

    For example, transitions on a device to OS 5.0 but not appear on device OS 4.5.

    Ideally, I'm looking for a solution that would integrate directly with Eclipse and debug without any extra steps in the two versions of the operating system.

    Try to do research on the "preprocessor directives", you can use this to do what you need.

    Basically, you wrap the code OS 5.0 in the guidelines such as:

    #ifdef VER_5
    System.out.println ("This compile for 5.0");
    #else
    System.out.println ("This compiles for no 5.0");
    #endif

    Then, enable you or disable directives in the compiler generate COD versions for each platform.

  • 2008 imac last version of the operating system available

    I have a 2008 currently under Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Imac.  Trouble with Google docs and I have heard that it's because of my version of the OS.  I was wondering what version of the OS, I would need to go?  or am I stuck to this version?

    My current system settings are as follows:

    Model name: iMac

    Model identifier: iMac5, 1

    Processor name: Intel Core 2 Duo

    Processor speed: 2.16 GHz

    Number of processors: 1

    Total number of cores: 2

    L2 Cache: 4 MB

    Memory: 2 GB

    Bus speed: 667 MHz

    Boot ROM version: IM51.0090.B09

    Version of the SCM (System): 1.9f4

    Serial number (System): PS * WRX

    Material UUID: *.

    It's a 2006 iMac, not a 2008 a. He can't be updated past 10.7.5; you're probably better off circuit to software as Firefox instead of upgrading its operating system.
