Smartphone blackBerry os versions

Recently bought the 8310.  Day learning new things thank you totoally for this forum.  I was see the discussions on the update of the operating system.  I checked my and found the existing os to be 4.2.2.170.  The unit works fine and I live by saying, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!  I see improvements such as 4.6 and 4.6.  Are there benefits to upgrade?  Can I put?  Is it useful to upgrade?  If I update, I will lose all the Info?  It's like switching from XP to Vista and we all know what it's like.  Thanx.  Tom

It is a good plan! You'll hear about it here as soon as it hits!

Thanks, have a nice day!

Oh and please take a few minutes to address the message, please!

  • BlackBerry OS Smartphones Blackberry Bold 9900 software update from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0

    HELO everyone

    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. Even when I tried to do it directly through the official website of Blackberry, also Version 7.1.0 was not shown. 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.

    Please I need help on how to perform the upgrade from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 with the last packet.

    Thanks to you all I'm waiting for your helpful solution.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    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.

    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:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Priv bricks during update MM

    Hello everyone,

    As a user of BB for a long time (since the curve 8310 until the Passport), I couldn't resist the temptation and I ended up buying a private AT & T unlocked the B & H store in Manhattan during my vacation.

    As soon as I come home in Spain, I started the MM updated procedure with an autoloader, according to the following instructions: http://global.blackberry.com/en/support/smartphones/blackberry-PRIV/reload.html

    I downloaded the SW AAF355 version and drivers USB (computer restarts after the installation).

    Installation script has detected the Priv in fastboot mode after lowering the volume + key combination of power and apparently started the update, but suddenly the phone restarted with black screen and led flashes between purple and green.

    Quick notes: I've updated devices BB10 via autoloader a couple of times and I did the update did not complete successfully using Mac OS (latest version), but I tried tha same procedure from a W7 PC too.

    Now, I'm still stuck with black screen and led flashing and computer does not detect the phone more. I tried all combinations of possible keys try to restart the phone but no luck.

    So I ask help to members of the community on what can I do to get it fixed, cause I think that the problem of Mayor is I'm in Spain...

    Thanks in advance.

    OK, it seems that I finally I could remedy then I'll write the steps that I followed, just in case.

    In my case, I was not able to start the phone in following mode fastboot with all combinations of keys, and the computer it has not detected:

    -Low volume + button.

    -High volume + button.

    -All buttons pressed at the same time.

    But after some trial and error, I pressed the middle (the toddler between flight up and down) button + power button and the phone started in mode 'starting'

    The computer detects it and loaded MM autoloader (first attempt get stuck again, but a 2nd went until the end). After that the phone boot up normally.

    Thanks to all the members of the BB community and have a nice day!

  • 10 blackBerry OS Version number

    BB link says that my Q5 running the latest version of the 10.2.1.3422 software. However, my Q5 indicates the version of the software used is 10.2.1.3062.

    How can I tell who is right?

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Thank you! : )

    Hi veedub,.

    Link to blackBerry and the BlackBerry smartphone will show you the version OS device as well as the SR version. These versions may appear differently, but come in pairs (which is expected).

    In connection of BlackBerry, this version information is available on the main screen when your device is connected. On the BlackBerry smartphone, you can display OS/SR versions by going to settings > about and select 'OS' in the list menu drop-down category.

    Your device is running OS 10.2.1.3442, which has a version associated with SR 10.2.1.3062 (you can check it out on your device). It is the version matching for the software currently loaded on your device. Your device and the BlackBerry link display the correct version and the software, so an update should not be necessary.

    I hope this explanation helps!

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    When I do the through BLackberry desktop manager it's showng OS 4.7 Bundle, what kind of OS is this?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    To add to the above, you will need to override the methods "automatic" which will use the foregoing. Left alone, the "automatic" methods will offer only you OS packages sanctioned by the carrier for which your BB was built (under the VendorID on the device). But, you are not limited only to those... the easiest is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    1) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (2) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (5) run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC. If, during the process, your BB votre BB a '507' error, simply unplug the power cord of the BB USB and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    Do not forget to save.

    Note that if you had to make a special "tricks" for your BB to function initially get on your carrier (for example, your BB model no is not natively supported by your carrier system), then this process will wipe those out, and you have to make them once again after it's over. Before starting, so 100% certain that you know what these "things" have been and are able to do it again.

    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:

    Hi, I have a Curve 8900 which works fine since I bought it 3 years ago. Recently, the screeen began to crash and freeze and its driving me crazy!
