BlackBerry smartphones is possible to upgrade my Bold 9000 that is unlocked and I have no carrier?

BB 9000

Current operating system - v4.6.0.282
Used Rogers, now using BB especially for WiFi, photos, calendar, notes, music
Using 7/11 Speak Out for the phone's antenna.

Due to SIGNIFICANT budget constraints and a newer phone smart (No BB) dying, I'm back to my workhorse of 9000 "BOLD"!

Would like to pass so I can download most current applications, I see that you have need of blessing and access

a business to do so. Gee, download CD or the internet, would be a good way to upgrade my 9000 "BOLD" instead.

I am a long time BB user and it would be nice to always support BB... are you listening Blackberry / RIM?

Any other ideas of the forum on how to get an upgrade solution would be greatly appreciated.

PS - This is my first post on the forum.

Follow these steps:

1. start by searching for your operator and the system operating file that you want to use.

http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

Tip: I suggest this because they offer the OS 5.0 for 9000:

https://swdownloads.BlackBerry.com/downloads/entry.do?code=1141938BA2C2B13F5505D7C424EBAE5F

2. it's not bad to do a manual of your device first, backup using the Desktop Manager > backup. Close at the end Office Manager and disconnect it from BlackBerry. You can get the BlackBerry Desktop Software here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/

3. download the OS from step 1 of the file on the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.

4. go into c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Also, check the following locations for the vendor.xml file and delete all instances of the file:

On Windows Vista/7, go to C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Research in XML Motion\BlackBerry\Loader (where 'YOUR_USER' is your user name)

On Windows XP, go to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER\Application is In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (where 'YOUR_USER' is your user name)

5 use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a full backup), then after you get the 507 error (no OS installed) then go to the next step.

6. plug the BlackBerry and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in c:\program files\common research in motion\apploader

  • HELP blackBerry Smartphones: I downloaded the upgrade for App World to BB 8900 and now the App World icon has disappeared!

    Hello

    I downloaded yesterday the BB App World 1.1.0.33 for my 8900 Javelin and just realized today that my App World icon is gone / hidden!

    I HAV to search all folders and it isn't here.

    When I checked my applications in options, it is quite there as being fully installed!

    How to 'show' or find App World please?

    jmrmb80 wrote:

    On the home screen is it hidden? Have you checked if it was hidden in the Applications folder or downloads?

    No it is not hidden on the homescreen as I put it to show all. It was not located in the downloads folder. I mentioned earlier that when I checked on the list of installed Applications, it was listed as being installed on the system.

    My solution was to remove the slice of the list of Applications, restart the device and then reinstall once more (I did twice btw). When I did the second time I checked the downloads folder and it is finally here! I hope this helps @ rcorai.

    Although I preferred pretty well if I could have located the previous app rather than delete n re-install!

  • Phone of blackBerry Smartphones does not illuminate on BB Bold 9000

    My 9000 does not illuminate. The red light turns on and stays on for about 1 minute.

    Then the screen goes to white battery with a red 'X' through it.

    I've tried other types of accumulators that have been verified to be good with the same results.

    I tried other chagers of wall with the same results.

    I have repeatedly let the phone charge for several hours, removed the battery and replaced after a few moments with the same results.

    This problem started after the battery became very impoverished after leaving the phone on mode bedside from one day to the next. The phone worked without any problems up to this point. It is about 2 1/2 years.

    All my contacts are on the phone and not have been backed up or saved on the sim card.

    Anyone have any suggestions to turn the phone so that I can download at least my contacts?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Given what you describe, I assume there to be hopeless... nothing can get your BB to start considering what you describe. And all the tips recovery remaining would erase the own BB in the context of the recovery, and your data will be lost. It seems to me that, whatever happens, this old adage applies to you:

    • There are two types of computers of users of devices - those who have lost data and those who will be

    I fear that you are about to migrate from the latter to the former. Backups, quite simply, are not an optional activity.

    Let us know if you want some of the radical of the recovery tools (destruction of data) to try...

    Good luck!

  • Scroll of blackBerry Smartphones are becoming very difficult to "BOLD" (with a pad, not a scroll wheel)

    Hello

    Scrolling became very difficult in my "BOLD", but it has a pad, not a scroll wheel, so I can't follow the spoken wheel and push solution previously in these forums.

    The symptoms are that it is difficult to get the cursor to move to the left or to the right or upwards or downwards, sometimes that it moves more easily than other times, but never as easy as it was until last week. What often happens is that I end up pressingteh pad too hard trying getting the top of the page to save the movement and thus itreads as a click instead.

    I tried to clean the buffer, cleaning of my thumb or finger, battery-out-restarted "BOLD" of countless times, tried with my fingers wet and dry...

    It seems that she has changed after an update has been downloaded, but maybe it's just my perception.

    In any case, what could be the problem and what is the solution please?

    you have the Desktop Manager, which includes many things including:

    • a tool for synchronization of calendar, contacts, tasks
    • a backup tool
    • installation of application tool (to install applications on your device from the PC)
    • installation of an OS tool (for example, upgrade the operating system on your device)

    Desktop Manager available in many versions: 4.3, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7. Since you use a curve, no matter what version is right for you. The last is supposed to have fewer bugs.

    On the operating system : this is something else. There are many OS versions for the curve: 4.2 4.2.1 4.3 4.5. Function of your trailer, you can have access to some. You can install the operating system to another carrier if you want, it takes just to delete the vendor.xml file.

    Install an operating system : one way to do it is:

    1. Download the setup of the operating system on your PC
    2. install the OS on your PC. It will bring the BONE inside the Desktop Manager
    3. the Desktop Manager allows to download the operating system in the desktop to the Device Manager.

  • Outlook calendar info old blackBerry Smartphones when keeping synch w/9700 "BOLD"

    Hi RIM Forum!

    I recently upgraded to OS6, have the latest Desktop Manager and under Microsoft Outlook 2007 on Windows XP.  Each tme I synch, over calendar information 3 weeks which are NOT anticipated is wiped out.  This is not acceptable because I need to access my calendar to revisit occurrences as far, far back as possible, i.e. Since the beginning of the 2000s.

    I have enough storage on hard drive of my PC, so how can I make sure that my Outlook never deletes calendar events that do not specify want to restore deleted and the second, as far as possible to all my old calendar events?

    Finally, the limitations of memory my 9700 so I know how to get back I should keep my calendar on the RIM device and information?

    Thank you!

    Ben

    Hello

    I don't take as my fault or does issue so no worries there.

    I'm not an employee of the RIM, I am a user like you.

    The deletion is not fair on Outlook, which two days to feature too. The design intent (I think) is there isn't that one calendar and the PC and the Blackberry have each an exact copy.  Make sense?

    You can restore your archived Outlook calendar items to find appointments lost, or at least most?

    Thank you

  • BlackBerry Smartphones short message transfer rejected for Bold 9780

    There is a person in my contacts that I can not text. Still, he comes up with a x red and says "transfer short message rejected". The person can still text me, however, and I have no trouble calling the number. It only occurs with this contact.

    I tried to delete the contact and re - add, take out battery and sim card, but it does not work.

    Can anyone help?

    Make sure that when you create the contact on your BlackBerry® smartphone, that their mobile phone number includes the area code.  Most providers require that the code is used when sending SMS messages.

    I used the SD card in my BlackBerry as a way to print some documents. Of course, internet cafes are full of virus of children all this porn downloaded.

    Then, I got a file autorun.inf with all its contents. My problem now is that I can not remove the file from the main virus. Whenever I try to remove it, an error occurs.

    This is the file system error 3, from net.rim.device.api.io.file.FileIOException

    Can I do to remove this thing? I tried the native and Rock File Manager, FileScout Lite file manager, but nothing works

    The problem is, it's a Windows virus. Connection to a PC could very well spell trouble. This is the reason why I try to remove the em with my BlackBerry.

    There is no setting in the BB OS change on a file write protection. Therefore, you cannot do it with the BB... If you are not ready to connect it to any PC (maybe even the Internet infected PC coffee it?), then format the card with the BB command is your next step. Maybe you can remove the BB and using a card reader on a PC instead of mass storage Mode?

    Raestloz wrote:

    In any case, can someone tell me what exactly the error means? It seems pretty obvious with FileScout Lite error message, but it would be nice if I can get a confirmation

    The error is indeed explicit... somehow, this received file write protection on it the BB OS recognizes exactly as he said. How it happened? It would be a totally different matter of course... as well, since everyone here is volunteer 'out there', the other user nothing here you receive can be considered as authoritative beyond your level of confidence what information you receive.
