Installation of blackBerry Smartphones updates

Please excuse my ignorance guy... When I connect to Desktop Manager I'm wondering now if I want to install the updates on my curve 8900. I guess it is logical to do so, however you are able to advise me if there are complications, pitfalls I might meet it making the guy probably. ? My 8900 works absolutely brilliantly as she is now, I don't want to screw up things in 'download' all that I may not even use! I can sound very negative, but I guess I'll be careful!

I always recommend a complete backup of the device by first using the Desktop Manager.

And as you said, if your device works well and you do not wish to upgrade, there is really no reason to do so.

  • BlackBerry smartphones updated software now issues:(aider!!)

    Hi guys. so I've updated my software on my bb curve 8520... Well the bb desktop software had asked me to do the experience works best with my phone. but it turns out to be the opposite. I can not call more I get this message when I try to call someone "can't call the current call" or if I managed to call I can't hang up unless the caller hangs up. my memory card is not working, or more, music and videos say 'impossible to read the content' but I can see all my photos. I can not view my airtime balance or update my bis. I tried to connect my memory card on my pc and it works fine when connected but as soon as I disconnect plays anything from my phone. I rebooted a million times. formatted the entire phone but nothing works! my alarm does not sound and sometimes when someone me the your text does not ring SMS. the update is performed from a 107... something to an update from 1788. I can do to fix all these technical stuff... im convinced this isn't the physical phone that is damaged. your help will be very appreciated. thanx

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Given what you describe, I think that is better to a clean OS reload. The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below.

    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 wonder why I can't update my phone with a Mac.  Is there a SOLUTION?  When I go to the page, it says that I need to have Windows Explorer. I have Safari and Firefox.  I want to download the v5.0 update my curve as the SMS feature is brutal.

    I'm also not sure about how to upgrade the desktop software, even if I downloaded it on the Mac.  Sigh... Can we say iPhone?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones updated BB App world... and lost all the apps?

    I had to make an exchange of phones last week.  Did this and reinstalled several applications on the new phone. Finally I was told had to do an update of the BB App world... Done this, and they are all gone now.  They are not under the uninstalled or other devices tab.  Help!

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello!

    I suggest that you clear the cache of the AppWorld application:

    1. open the App World

    2. go to my world

    3. follow one (and only one!) of these steps:

    3. for the BB keyboard-oriented - hold down the ALT key and press on, in the sequence R, then S, then T

    3B. for touch screen only BBs - hold the num-lock (! 123 button) so that it hangs and then press on, in the sequence 3, then 4, then)

    3 c for the most recent (e, g., OS6 and 7) BB s, see this KB:

    • KB24714 How to clear the cache of BlackBerry App World

    4 AppWorld must close

    5. If your BB locks after issuing clear cache, do a battery pull reboot

    6. return to AppWorld/MyWorld (it can be slow, while it re - sync).

    If (4) stage arrives not as described, then the empty the cache failed.

    I hope it'll work for you! Good luck and let us know!

  • BlackBerry smartphones updated my OS but lost App World and all of my current applications. Torch 9810. Help, please.

    I plugged my lamp to my laptop and the desktop software told me that there was an OS update (version 7.0 bundle 2406 v7.0.0.585 platform 5.0.0734). I thought fair enough - probably extra security, etc. on the new version so I advanced and loaded after doing a full backup.

    This delete all my contacts, media, app world and all the applications that I had downloaded. I did a restore but then put it back into place all my contacts and the media, app world and all applications seem to have disappeared, and I can't seem to get them or even to make global icon reappear.

    Help, please.

    I am very surprised that RIM has put an update out there that removes all your stuff off your phone without even warn that it can do?

    Thank you.

    Well, RIM develops upgrades of the OS, your mobile operator "put out there" for you to upgrade.

    And there are many warnings rich to do upgrades of the OS without first accomplishing your own backup device independent... but this is not serious now.

    1. Anywho, do... go into Options > device > Applications, search AppWorld on your list and IF it is, delete it.
    2. Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart.
    3. Now, use your browser to go to the www.blackberry.com/appworld and download/install AppWorld again.

    Let us know how it goes.

  • Installation of blackBerry Smartphones

    I have a problem with the "Setup Wizard" or "Support facility" (I don't know the word in English: this is the app that is supposed to help you set up your new phone).

    My problem is that when someone asks me to press the Menu button and then press the next button, I can't find the key "Next"... When I press the Menu key, there is a small Menu that appears in the middle of the screen but nothing more, it is all white...

  • BlackBerry Smartphones update Blackberry Curve 8310 and lost all data

    Help, please!

    I received a text message that I needed to update my Blackberry Curve 8310 4.3 (I think).  I went to my computer and connected to blackberry.com and did the update.  The message then said that I had to update my Desktop Manager.  I've done both.  But she erased ALL my contacts and data.  No emails and worse still no address. My screen is completely different.  My Office Manager was not my old data.

    It was a bad day, has laid off and now all my contacts are gone.

    If someone knows a way to retrieve my contacts, I would be very grateful.

    Hallelujah!

    It worked!  It's a good day, found the RPI buried on the disk and retrieved.  I must somehow be saved from a month ago.

    Thank you!!!

  • Problem of blackBerry Smartphones updated my device?

    Hi, I have a blackberry 8520 and I connected it to my laptop and desktop manager says there is an update to the phone so I clicked on update phone and it saved my phone then it tried to download the modules but it gets stuck to 604 of 658, it happens all the time , would be - it because im connected to a service mobile broadband? Because it's the only time his arrival

    Could be. Whenever you have problems updating your phone, it is often useful to make a gesture at once.

    First, download the new operating system on your computer and install it on your computer. Here is the download site. Once you have the software on your desktop computer (PC, right?), you can then do the update on your phone via the Desktop Manager and not to worry about connectivity issues to the course.

  • Contact information for installation of blackBerry Smartphones.

    I recently purchased the Blackberry Torch; the numbers were transferred over my old Blackberry Pearl phone.

    One of my many Contacts had NO code appearing in front of the 7 - digit telephone number.  I tried to text him and of course, she came back with the error message.  I went and edited the number to include the area code (made a 10-digit number) - and I still get the same error message.

    I deleted this contact 3 times and entered its data with different names - but the same phone with all the 10 listed numbers - and I still get an error code when I text.  I just listed the number under the 'work' instead of 'mobile' - always impossible to send text.

    I called him - no problem; He can call me - no problem; He can text me - no problem; I just can't text or make a text.

    What is going on?  Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Smartphones Dang sure too!

    OK, sounds similar to something that happened to me last week, I tried to call a number instead.

    Look at your call history, by accessing your Messages folder > press Menu > folders > phone call logs and you will need find and remove all previous attempts to call this number.

    Also, in the same place, watch sending SMS and delete all previous attempts of SMS.

    Your device "to remember" and use these previous calls to that number as a story of several parameters and if you remove all the people, I would then do a full restart on the device, in this case > with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this way is prescirbed for most the gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

    Now, after, you have removed all instances of old of the call/SMS and restarted, try again.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones updated using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager - VERY slow!

    Hello

    Brand-new Blackberry.

    Updated the OS on my 8530 using the Desktop Manager software version 5.0.1 pc and the usb to the phone connector. I started at 11:00 this morning. It's now almost 15:00.

    It always shows 346 528 modules in the device software download part of the process. At this point, it's a failure... But he said not to disconnect your device... or other.  What now? Very disappointing.

    'Now for the future... ". I do NOT recommend the use of desktop upgrade of the Unit Manager, ever. It is simply too buggy and too many things can go wrong happen with which you have no control. »

    I tried the update site as you said but made the mistake of direct download instead of dl to pc and then to the phone as you said. Then... Well, I found the best way yet: I'll take it to the Verizon store and ask them to do every time. I'm a pretty grumpy guy, being a programmer and all except... I just haven't the patience or willingness to spend that kind of time with a phone. I mean - it's a phone. Really?
