Provider of Smartphones from blackBerry software change

Hello all, my first post on the forum.

I have a Curve 8520, version of the OS V5.0.0681 (Platform 5.2.0.67).  Is it possible to change the software Service provider, i.e. of O2 UK to Vodafone UK?

It's just that I want to give the phone as a gift and it would be awesome if it was labeled with the appropriate software.

Unlock of course is not a problem.

I downloaded the Vodafone UK software on the BB site, but I do not know how, or even if its possible.

Any help would be appreciated... Thank you!

Hello and welcome to the community!

From a PC, you can install any compatible OS package (for example, for your BB model exact number) of 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:

If your intention is that, upon restart, the splash screen change to another carrier, that will never change. This start screen is deeper in the device is the OS, so it will never change.

In addition, you should read this:

  • KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after the purchase of a used BlackBerry smartphone

And the steps of 'seller' completely

Finally, by getting a BB to operate on a network where the carrier does not directly support this model exact can be quite difficult, indeed. I don't know if this applies in your case, but just be ready to meet the challenges should it not work as desired for the reception.

Good luck!

    The problem is that when I get on the default English language entry screen / GB), when I click it, there is only English (United States). No other proposed.

    Could you please help me find how to add a French in the other available Mo?

    Thanks in advance! :-)

    You would need to install an OS of a carrier that would include normally languages French or European.  Here are some instructions:

    1. start by searching for your operator and the system operating file that you want to use. I would like to use check European carriers (any carrier will work as long as the OS is for your type of device).  It is easier if you install the same version number you already have, you will be able to just install that language and not the rest of the operating system, but if you're updating to a newer version which is OK for... just takes a few extra minutes.  Make sure that the operating system download you shows as "multilingual".

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

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

    Pay attention to languages that are being installed and make sure you inlcude what you want.

  • Provider of Smartphones from blackBerry in Norway?

    Hello.

    I move in Norway 6 months researching. I currently have a T-mobile curve that they helped me to unlock. I was wondering if anyone knows of a carrier in Norway that offers services of BlackBerry. I've had trouble finding one, and a friend who lives there, says he says he sees few people using BlackBerrys. It's hard to believe.

    Any help would be appreciated. It's a bit difficult to navigate the Web sites for the major Norwegian carriers.

    Also, is it possible to get the Blackberry service more local number for only 6 months. I think I might have to do without him.

    Sorry if this post is off-topic.

    Thank you!

    Yes, TrigCom in Norway.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Torch 9810 Software Update Lock-up

    This 9810 was to make a wireless software update and got 19 percent of the total backup (Social Feeds) when it locked in place - it was left running overnight without change. The telephone switching market he returned to the same point. removing and replacing the battery automatically starts the process of update again, until he gets to 19% and crashes again. Switch on the screen when you press ALT and shift.

    Oh no... now you have a more catastrophic problem... 507 means that everything is gone from your BB - the operating system, applications, data. First we need to get the features of your BB, and then you need to restore from your most recent backup.

    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. (not applicable in your situation, since you can't take one now)

    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 must also use these tricks, but please substitute 6a or 6b above if all load allows you to use a Web site:

    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:

  • Update of Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager crashes when you download a device software (module 141 of 389)

    So, I just got this Blackberry on 31 December 09.  I installed the software from the CD DM and now I had to attempt to synchronize my phone with the Office for the first time.  When I connect the phone to the PC, it immediately says there were updates available and I just kept hit next until it apparently started the update 12-step process.

    Now my PC remained at the stage of download (step 3 of 12) of the same module for more than 30 minutes.

    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

    Thank you.

    This is an update to my own post.

    I cancelled the previous update process and wait 10-15 minutes for the cancellation process finish.

    Then I unplugged my phone closed all my apps and ran CCleaner on my PC which has removed some 8 GB of junk.

    Then I restarted the Blackberry software and reconnected my phone.  This time, when I ran the software update process he traveled with success the whole download and update process.

    Hope this helps someone else who can run on the same question.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry App World

    I have a TORCH (software 6.0 Bundle 3049) with App World installed 3.0.0.73 from Blackberry Desktop Software.  I have download the updates and App World indicates that a new version is available 3.1.2.32, I download the new version and App World Spear is no longer.  In other words, I click on the world icon, and nothing happens.  I'm going to BB Desktop Software, delete App World, re - start the phone and re - install the 3.0.0.73 and functions of the App World.  In other words, until the App World informs me that a new version is available for the update and I can choose 'Update' or 'Close' and the cycle repeats.  I have 18 months left on my contract with Bell Mobility and I was kind of hoping that BB would fix it so I won't be too miserable until I can update an iPhone.

    I talked to Bell Mobility and that they me related to BlackBerry (RIM). The technical expert has helped me greatly.  I downloaded the software, saved my camera and reloaded the software bundle.  I won't go into details, it is best done with the advice of an expert.  Then, call your provider.

    But App World works perfectly now. So, all well that ends well.  I don't know if I will "jump" to an another unti now that my BB Torch works well again.

    The questions are:

    1 is easy to fix the problem?

    2. how to open the data stored on my computer? I need to check some contacts and text messages.

    3. How can I transfer all the data again to a new phone? Should this phone be a Blackberry in order for contacts/messages/photos to be transferred?

    2. how to open the data stored on my computer? I need to check some contacts and text messages.

    Natively, the backup file (BBB or RPI, depending on the version of the Desktop software you used) is intended for a single purpose... as the source of restoration to a BlackBerry. But there are several 3rd PC-based 3rd party there apps that can analyze the file backup, some even to do something else with the resulting data. I've never needed, but I heard good things about MagicBerry. Search for a few seconds (for example, on Google) and I'm sure you will find plenty of candidates for your needs.

    ateliermd2003 wrote:

    To transfer to another BB, simply perform the restore:

    • KB10339 How to use BlackBerry Desktop Software to restore data from a BlackBerry smartphone from a backup file

    To transfer to another device, these 3 save game file analysis applications (from your point 2 above) would be your source... you would have to understand what requires this device non - BB and then manipulate the data in the required format and then use whatever of this non - BB device has to load the data on this device.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Curve 9380 - gel/pause

    I've had this phone for nearly 18 months without any problem, but last week I almost he threw out the window!

    For starters, he did pause for a few seconds, making send SMS, e-mail etc very frustrating! You might be texting, and then it is paused on everything that touches your tent to support on, then will take between 5 and 20 seconds to come for herself. Sometimes when I unlock or just try to navigate the phone - its fustrating Yes aswell!

    And then yesterday and today, the battery had drained by noon, although he had been accused of the overnight! I rebooted my phone at noon today, and its once again once drained (18:20)!

    They relate, or if my phone died?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Please try this sequence... Note that, throughout the whole 4h15m process, your BB should stay connected to a good charger (not the USB PC):

    1. With battery, connect your BB to the wall charger
    2. Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the screen not
    3. Remove the battery
    4. Wait 15 minutes
    5. Insert the battery
    6. Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the screen not

    This has been known to "revive" some BBs.

    It is also possible that your battery or BB has encountered a problem... to test, this sequence is necessary:

    1. Get a known good and already fully charged battery... use it in your BB and see what happens
    2. Get access to a BB good and the same known... use your battery in there and see what happens

    The results of this will show if your BB or your battery that has the problem.

    You can also try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

  • Lack of Smartphones from blackBerry audio progress bar

    The audio progress bar never appears when I play audio, except if I am listening to the latest Podcast in my group then if I press on the "next, > ' button it will appear for a few seconds and I can use it. The rest of the time he never appears if I'm listening to a podcast or music files. It's a real disappointment of having to listen to a Podcast from the beginning when I get back, just because I can't pass through where I left earlier.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    My audio and Podcasts are all stored on the 8 GB memory card. I have 1500 + audio files and subscribe to some Podcasts 6. All this through iTunes and sync the storm using the media of Blackberry software. The media sync software is used as a separate application that I couldn't make it work through the normal Blackberry Desktop application (everything else seems to work fine in it). In addition, my Blackberry was updating its software when I synced everything up first, so I guess I have the latest version of applications.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated I have to abandon the storm for Podcast listen if it is not a solution.

    Carl

    If you lightly tap the screen (NO click) when audio is played, the audio bar appears for about 5 seconds.  If you tap the screen again when the audio bar is visible, the audio bar will disappear.

    This is true also for when you play videos with audio on your Storm.

  • E-mail blackBerry Smartphones from BlackBerry regarding "update my password by e-mail"

    Hi, I received an email supposedly from BlackBerry to my phone at 01:04 titled Action required: update password.

    The message told me that I had to update my password on one of my email accounts in the BlackBerry internet service. HE said that Email from that address were not distributed to my phone (I only noticed at this point that they were not because this isn't used much e-mail) and to resume the service, I needed to update my passwsord.

    He went on to give me instructions on how to do it. He said to open my BlackBerry Internet service account is by opening the configuration of email on my device application or visiting the BlackBerry Internet Service site then to go to the page e-mail accounts, choose the option change the correct email address, update the password field and then save.

    Depending on my device, the message has been received using the email as needed update account and has been in my Inbox and came from "[email protected]."

    It may seem silly, but I'm always a little kept when I get emails about passwords, I still did nothing, but I connect to my e-mail account online and there are 3 messages in my Inbox that indeed did not come to my phone, but no messages from blackberry. I didn't have a problem with my existing password.

    Is it current for BlackBerry to ask me to do this?

    Thank you very much for any help received

    It happens from time to time. Fear not:
    it you don't trust that, just go to your carrier's BIS site and edit the passwd file.

  • Connection of the Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager problem

    That is the problem. My Desktop Manager does not connect to my Storm.  The PIN is in the connection options and it will connect via Bluetooth, but every time I plug in the USB the Desktop Manager says port still disconnected.  Also, when plugged into the USB port, the storm every 10 seconds or so goes to a white screen that says connection on the desktop, only it doesn't connect.  Anyone have any ideas?  RIM technical support was not able to help with this problem.  My laptop recognizes it as a Blackberry smart phone under USB connections.   Help someone.  Oh, the operating system is Vista.  I don't know if that makes a difference, but I did add the Bluetooth adapter after installing the Blackberry software.

    Understand the problem.  I don't know why, but my firewall was blocking the storm to function properly.  So if someone having this problem also, check your firewall and make sure that the applications can access.

  • Change of Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager 4.7

    I had been using Desktop Manager 4.7 (from disk provided with my new storm back when they first came out). Had the evil, which included the inability to back up files using DM 4.7.  So, I called Blackberry, which had me uninstall my Desktop Manager 4.7 now and then download and install Desktop Manager 4.7 from the Blackberry site. First of all, let me say at the outset that this problem corrected my backup and other problems.  However, right now, I noticed a change in the operation of Desktop Manager 4.7. I also noticed that the date of the file was slightly more recent (Nov.) 2008 than the one I had the disc (October 2008). Now, Desktop Manager 4.7 cards two drive letters. One is for the blackberry storm itself and the other for the SIM card inside. Because he got letters from driver on my PC (Windows XP), a work which has already been used for the network (bad dog!), it wasn't a big thing to make it "automatically". I've never seen my previous 4.7 DM activate the front drive mappings, much less than two. As I had to uninstall and reinstall on my computer (Windows 64 - bit Vista), the same questions had been held there as well, I found that it mapped as drive two letters on my PC at home.  I searched forums for discussion on this, but had not encountered anything whatsoever.  If anyone can help me find a way to keep the two screens of the Explorer Windows mapped drive that automobile opened in Windows XP now, let me know.  Nothing seems to prevent opening.  I had the atoplay to stop opening, but I can't seem to stop the two screens of Windows Explorer for two letters mapped Auto-opening whenever I connect the USB to my Storm to my work PC. I would rarely have need to use these two screens and prefer to keep my office as they pop up on other screens. Any thoughts? In addition, do others noted this change?

    Hello

    Do not be old... I'll show my old cassette 8 track!

    If you do not have the two front discs, the Blackberry was not showing right.

    On other devices the device memory is not present. The Storm device memory

    should appear as a drive of content such as an Ipod. The storm has been designed this way

    If some of the DRM restrictions could be resolved.

    DM 4.7 installation would not or should not change the Windows operating system for

    drive letters. Again, this is a setting in Windows. If you right click on both of the

    thoughtful storm drives and select AutoPlay, you will be able to select

    "don't take any option" instead of opening a window for each drive.

    Try it!

    Thank you
