Smartphone blackBerry OS upgrade

I have seen various links to the download of the OS "BOLD" last,.162 I think it is, but as a new BB user, I question... is necessary download from the site of the provider (if they have it available, Orange, Vodafone etc.) or you can simply download from any site? Thank you...

It is usually safer to download official for your service provider, as it is supported by them.

If you load the unofficial software, they can choose not to support you and you have yourself. However, I am running unofficial software on my "BOLD" with no problems - so it is certainly possible to do so.

You need to install the software in a slightly different way, however. Click on the link below for more information:

  • Smartphone blackBerry OS upgrade of risk?

    Hello Forum,

    Is there a risk to the upgrade of the OS for the storm with the package of another carrier?  There are carriers of specific components that will impact operation on my home network?

    I am very interested in the new version.148 and the promises for fixes of minor bugs from my actuelle.122 version, but I don't want to update to the risk of 'disturbing the spoilsport"so to speak... My service is through Services of telecommunications in Trinidad & Tobago, they aren't real quick with a lot no matter what... It takes months for them to set a fixed line, so I can only assume that it will be some time before they roll all upgrade version for the storm (especially since the device is in the country for a month).

    So, with that said, any input?

    Thanks in advance,

    William

    The only problem you might have is IF you were to need guaranteed support for your provider so that you have the version.148 on your device, and if your operator has not released it themselves. At this point, all you have to do is downgrade to their recognized release.

    Otherwise, no problem to do so. I rarely ran OS release of my own carrier on any BlackBerry for the past three years.

    I encourage you to read this link for more information on global questions points 1, 2 and 3:

  • Smartphone blackBerry OS upgrade issues

    I'm looking for a version upgrade of the os official and ran across this site Web ATT...

    BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.6.0.298 (Multilingual)

    Package Version: 4.6.0.298
    Composed of:

    • Applications: 4.6.0.167
    • Software platform: 4.0.0.157
    • File name: 9000M_PBr4.6.0_rel298_PL4.0.0.157_A4.6.0.167_AT & T .exe
    • File size: 93,32 MB

    My questions are... EST.298 just a multilingual os which is built sur.167?

    If I download, I get anything different from what I already have and it will show when I look at the 'about' under 'options '?

    If it's just a language package, should I update?

    Thoughts?

    Thank you

    Russ

    1. what OS you have on your "BOLD" now? Look at the Options > on.

    2 4.6.0.298 is the version of the package. Ignore simply that, for this purpose... consult the version 4.6.0.167 Applications.

    3. I believe that all the OSs offered by ATT (for the most part) are multilingual. They (RIM or ATT) do not provide OS new features just because they added a new language. The new versions offer bug fixes and glitch and or some other improvements.

  • Smartphones blackBerry 8220 upgraded to v.4.6.0.180 (Platform 4.1.0.61) and now I can't use Desktop Manager

    I upgraded a.180 to resolve a peripheral gel during the BrickBreaker game. As expected lost all the data of the Organizer, but while I see the hand shake between Desktop Manager (version 4.7) and the Device Manager displays a connection, I cannot perform backups and worse still, cannot sync the Organizer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled software and battery shot til the cows come home. How can I recover the functionality again if this isn't just another nice phone?

    Randy

    Away sometimes a problem for a little help. It turns out that the 4.6.0.180 upgrade process wiped some data from before the upgrade, but not all. The material was left out of an installation of Pocket Informant for Blackberry.

    Solution was to go to [Options]--> [Advanced Options]--> [Applications] and remove the non-Blackberry files (in this case, the Pocket Informant over material). Save and Exit, reboot and the problem disappears.

  • The 9860 blackBerry Smartphones blackberry OS upgrade seems to have stalled

    I installed the Blackberry desktop app hoping to sync my calendar with my Blackberry 9860 Outlook.

    I took the opportunity to update the OS on the phone but it has been blocked to 1202 1545 for 3 hours.

    What can I do? He says do not disconnect or the phone will be unusable.

    Thank you.

    Your device has passed the backup stage?

    You may lose your data if you unplug now, but the automatic update should already taken and stored. Search your PC for all *.ipd or *.bbb files (normally saved in your my documents folder.

    Don't you see the backup file dated today?

    Anyone know if there will be an update to OS 4.3 or 4.5 (support for > 4GB memory card) for the 8830?

    Verizon does not support 4.5 for 8830. They are trying to get customers to buy the new phone rather than release the update (which already has blackberry) to their customers. I just spent 30 minutes be transferred everywhere and eventually "we do not support 4.5" even if its listed on the site Web of Blackberry.

    Hello.

    I have a question about the implementation of service and services of books... Have a BB Bold (ATT) and just upgraded to OS 4.6.0.28 2 from Eastern Asia. It was recommended by members on this forum, but also the Crackberry for the many of us who have known many dropped calls.  Our calls to ATT for help and a solution fell on deaf ears. If this upgrade allows to switch between 3G and 2G EDGE. The problem was with the 3 G-2G_EDGE all swirling around trying to block a signal, etc.

    Anyway, since I've updated, all right, and the phone is still a little more quickly set to 2G. But on the home screen, I have a phone ICON that says 'operation successful. To resolve this problem, contact your provider of wireless. "Obviously, I'm not with ATT.

    Can someone enlighten me on this and it's going to be a problem? So far so good!

    Hello

    It makes a big difference that you didn't start with Visual Voicemail, which is a product of AT & T.

    It will also make a difference as to if the message "Successful" as the quote above.

    As opposed to "Unsuccessful" in your last post. Quite different.

    If it is an unwanted application, follow the procedure that I gave allows you to remove the application.

    If it is not an application and was pushed to your phone by AT & T, you can remove the icon but it

    Will be back when you receive service books. If this is the case, simply highlight the icon, the menu key

    Select hide. I put all the unused icons in a folder and then hide the folder, it provides more space

    On the home screen for the apps that I use.

    Thank you

    Thanks for any help.

  • Problem UI Smartphones blackBerry after upgrade

    Just upgraded my storm yesterday and when I have the phone in horizontal position, 50% of the icons (on the initial screen) on the extreme left and extreme right are not visible.  There is a white band that scrolls up and down with the touch screen.  Is there a way to fix this or try a new upgrade?

    I'm having the same problem.  I used a theme I purchased.  I return to the default setting, and I'm not having the problem now.

  • Smartphones blackBerry device software upgrade, does not (Bold 9930)

    Bold 9930, Verizon,.

    Everything was going well 5 hours ago. Backup and synchronization with Desktop Manager and everything was good. I clicked on the 'Device upgrade' link. He me everything first download and install the new Desktop Manager software. This seemed to work properly. Then it downloaded the new software device and conclusive to upgrade of the unit.

    7.1 bundle, 2705 (v7.1.0.991 platform 5.1.0.678)

    The Setup program indicates that the new software has been installed, and then it seems to want to reboot the device. The device never returns, ends with an App error 606.

    I loaded the cool device software, without change. Removed Software Desktop, loaded fresh, then loaded a fresh device software, without change.

    I tried to load my old device software but the Desktop Manager will not allow him.

    I reloaded software device 3 times, always the same behavior, always the same error at the end.

    I'm out of ideas.

    Any help?

    This bit is quite unusual... done correctly, you can force any OS on your BB package as long as it's your exact model number. So I'm not sure if you're really using all the good stuff... so, even if a lot of this will be redundant, please examine carefully for subtle tricks do you need to... done correctly, this can heal the situation. But any errors on the way (not ignored, stage not completed correctly, etc.) invalidates the whole process and translates the automatic process of support and limited to only the OS packages currently supported by your specific carrier.

    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:

    Operating system device provided are "released" by specific carriers once that they are certified and trained to their support technicians, but still, you are able to load any carrier the same model by following the instructions below. Apparently '3' is not from the same upgrade as O2.

    See the link below to download and follow the simple installation instructions to install 6.0.0.668 in your 9300 OS.

    Make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close the office at the end Manager.

    1. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.

    https://swdownloads.BlackBerry.com/downloads/contactFormPreload.do?code=D840CC5D906C3E9C84374C8919D2...

    2. go in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

    Note: Some users may be concerned they will void their warranty of device by loading an OS from another carrier. There is really nothing to fear. Please read more information about it here: http://www.port3101.org/power-users/296-blackberry-os-upgrade-including-betas-myths-dispelled.html

    I tried to upgrade my device software Blackberry Bold 9900 version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 but with difficulties. I tried to use the Blackberry Desktop Manager, but there was no version 7.1.0 figure among the available updates.

Finally, I tried to do the update with my phone directly by going to: Options > device > software updates.

    It shows my Version 7.0.0 Bundle 2406 current and available in a version 7.1.0 Bundle 1149. But when I clicked Perform Update to download the new version, he has shown preparing to download but then displays an error message such as "Download cannot continue because your device cannot connect to the update server using the following methods: Wi - Fi.

    During this time, I did not upgrade with a Wi - Fi connection because I have an active blackberry data subscription of 2 GB of my mobile operator.

My phone is double my staff and my work cell, so I desperately need! I saw another thread to a kind of cloth for her but I did not know if it works for me, and also I need to redownload OS.

    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Unfortunately, "it no longer works" gives us nothing to do, so we must guess. A description of exactly what happens when you make a suitable battery pop reboot would be much more useful.

    However, to reload your operating system...

    At the top of each forum device, there should be some 'sticky' threads dealing with the level of the OS available for each model. Please use those as a reference as you go along.

    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.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones blackberry support community

    BBM 7.0.0.123 can't read (unsupported) n emotican of character text

    On this basis, I would deduct instead is the BBM message you receive contains characters of a language that you have not installed for your BB. For example, they send Russian characters, but you do not have Russian language installed on your BB, then your BB don't then interpret and display characters and replaces those black boxes in their place.

    If you know the language that is sent to you, you can try to install on your BB... do it, start by taking a full and complete backup of your BB... you can find instructions in the link in my sig auto on this post.
