Decommissioning blackBerry smartphones phones 4 U 8520, can not find software Phones4U

Like many people, I upgraded to OS 5 recently, and frankly it's terrible. I looked around, discovered how to upgrade, but couldn't find the right software, I need.

I have a Blackberry Curve 8520, my network is Orange UK, so first I tried the software Orange UK from here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

But that did not work, so since Phones4U is not there, I tried the Carphone Warehouse Software (thought since they were not a network it can possibly use, but it does not).

Y at - it one of those working with mature Phones4U?

Uh, I'm sorry but YOU're wrong.  Only, you must delete the file vendor.xml on the pc after the installation of the OS and Loader.exe in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader allows to load any operating system on the device you want.  It is the most reliable way of loading the software of the device.

In fact, here is a late version of the OS 4.6 that you can load to you, if you simply follow the instructions posted:

http://www.BlackBerryForums.com/General-8500-series-discussion-Gemini/214971-OS-8520-4-6-1-470-4-6-1...

or you can load the latest version 5.0 of this thread:

http://www.BlackBerryForums.com/General-8500-series-discussion-Gemini/227461-latest-OS-8520-5-0-0-11...

to upgrade a device just follow the instructions.  To downgrade, just remove all versions in Control Panel > Add/Remove programs later than the version that you want to downgrade to and run loader.exe again.   It's pretty simple, actually.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones help please! I can not open E: / / or F: / / readers and I can sync folders and media files

    Hello world! I got my BlackBerry Torch 9800 on 6 September. On 8 September, I tried to synchronize media files and it was not work. I opened the back cover and there is no MicroSD card. I return to the TELUS store on 16 September and they give me the microSD card. I put it in my cell phone. When I go into Options - devices - storage, the "enable compression" and "media card" are controlled. I see the applications-free space 286,5 MB storage, integrated Total media storage and 3.5 GB of free space and storage card Media-Total and free 7.3 GB. I have also format and fix them both. I try to remove/replace my Media Cardin, to remove/replace my cell phone battery, there is nothing to do. Whatever I do, I can not open E:: / / or F: / / readers (I have new for formatting, I try and it does not work) and I can't synchronize the folder and multimedia files. I see a time "the memory of the device and the media are unavailable because the mass storage is in use". I use the v6.0.0.448 version.

    It is correct. I have rename E: / / and F: / / and it's work.

  • The blackBerry Smartphones file invalid Media - you can not synchronize with the folder to import from video files

    I use Desktop Software 6.0.0.43 and get the above message when I try to add a folder to synchronize the video. The same process has worked well for music and photos, but not for video.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated. I have to admit I'm lost on this one.

    Thank you

    This means that you cannot synchronize a folder that youv'e ' e defined as import for the videos location.

    So, if you put videos to import in c:\videos

    You cannot synchronize this folder.

    (Since then, you would just be sync through the stuff on the phone that you have imported the phone).

    Change your import file should solve the problem.

  • Assistant adding hardware can not find software for USB tether Samsung Galaxy S 4 G phone

    I followed the process of uploading a file for xp called "tetherxp" from t-mobile. Connect the phone, follow the steps to guide Wizard to the folder "tetherxp" and then says cannot find the software. I moved the entire file to see if Assistant would. I even let the Wizard search the net and nothing comes up.  I have xp sp3 and I think as a 32-bit process. I tried to rename the file to all kinds of possibilities, but nothing works. the phone works as a network access point wi - fi but cannot get USB attached. t mobile, says it should work with just the config. file (tetherxp). they think that it is perhaps a computer problem. any ideas?

    Hello

    Delete the file downloaded, disconnect the phone from the computer.
    Now re - download the file, and then connect the phone and run the process.

    Hello

    Yes its possible to reset without entering the Menu Options on your phone:

    1. you must have BlackBerry Desktop Manager on your PC.

    2. connect the phone with open Desktop Manager.

    3. go to the Applications tab

    4 locate the rogue app/theme, kill it and your phone should come back with the default theme.

    5. If you can not find via Desktop Manager then try to do a full backup.

    6 restore the phone to factory settings, restore data selectively.

    Hope this works for you, if it's not then you need to use BBSAK to wipe the phone or try to remove the new theme.

I was updating it from app world blackberry, then the progress of update has failed. bbm icon was there until later that day, I deleted something and the phone was in need of a reboot so I rebooted it and since then I can not find the icon of anywhere. I tried to download it again from the appworld, it always says that there are already, but I can't find it yet. and I'm also trying to update nd it always says error update! Please help me!

    OK, so just do the last part of the instructions...

    After installation and reboot if necessary, check your instant messaging, or downloads of the application folder.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones new icon and missing icon note :(

    Hi people,

    I'm new to the boards, so please bear with me as I just read and hoping to learn the * rules *! I have a curve BB8310 and this morning I had to have ATT restore it to factory after that something was wrong with the DeviceManager. To make a long story short, I'm all good now (i.e.. The right DM, I had the wrong version ) and I got my backup phone like I do every week. So I restored everything and first of all, I can't find my * note * icon anywhere and I use it all the time for lists and these, second I have this blue oval icon where I get notifications of text / email, which has something in it that looks like a snowflake! This icon could result to have my email and notifications of texts put to separate? Can someone tell me what it is and where I could find my Memo icon? I looked in every folder I have (or at least I think I have) as my stuff, settings, options, etc and he left with a whole list of things in it. I also only an icon that is hidden and it is ATT browser as I have Google maps instead. It's driving me crazy! Thanks everyonein advance

    edited because I read everywhere and found it's called * note * not Notepad... Sorry for the bad verbiage and I still can not find

    On your BlackBerry, go to Options > status > press Menu > database sizes.

    Scroll to memos... What number is there (as 45/84 KB)?

    If there is nothing else that 0/0 KB, that means that the memos app on your devcie to keep looking... Is I have to be there.

    If 0, then back to the drawing board to charge memos... Make sure that operating system is loaded on your PC, open Desktop Manager > Loader application and memos is checked to install on your device.

    If you need details, please post back.

  • My phone fell, and I can not get Windows to start. The repair option will not work.

    Windows Vista restore

    My phone fell, and I can not get Windows to start.  The repair option will not work. I tried to use an upgrade disc, but the 'upgrade' function has been disabled. It says I have to do it from the office, to which I can not access. The repair disk feature did not work either. Is it possible to restore the system without losing my files?

    Have you had your laptop, checked by a technician?

    If you use a 32 bit Vista copy then any upgrade must be run from the Vista desktop.
