Update of blackBerry Smartphones that OS?

I wanted to know if the upgrades of the OS had to be carrier-specific?

I have a Pearl which was purchased originally from Orange UK its 4.2.xxxx running

Can I switch to any 4.5? I found a 4.5 of Vodafone (I'm actually on Vodafone) its on German website, but has all the options of lang.

In general you can use any carrier OS upgrade or should it specific?

Is there the chance of bricking the phone?

Does anyone know whats new/fixed 4.5?

Device software upgrades ARE specific carrier... you can find later trying to download...

    It is possible. But if you stay on BES, you cannot remove the it policy... you have to work with your BES admins to solve the problem.

    If you are not on BES, you must first check if you have a latent policy on board:

    • Article ID: KB30076 How to check for an it on a BlackBerry smartphone policy

    If you have one, then this is the only method to remove:

    • Article ID: KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

    Beware you warnings... it's completely destructive to everything you have on your device now, then you must know how to recover from that after the withdrawal of the policy. If you choose to use the backup/restore as your method of recovery, so make sure you do selective and not wholesale... If you restore databases who say company policy or something similar, then you just put it on your device policy, and be right back where you started.

    Good luck!

  • Help of blackBerry Smartphones that apps on my Blackberry Curve 9360 were gone after complete wiping!

    I'm wiping yesterday and when I checked on my "device" option, the "battery" option was missing, where I can choose the level of my light screen. Another thing, it is that my 'analysis of the BB device' were like a stethoscope icon, but after you wipe, the icon changed into a black rectangle with a question in the middle of the matk. Whence this 'battery' device option missing? How do I get him back? If it cannot, how should I do if I want to put my light svcreen level? And I can delete this now rare device monitor 'BB' since I can't find the button Delete like other apps? HELPPPPPP! Thanks a lot for the answers!

    Hello!

    Based on your description, I would recommend a full reload of the operating system. 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.

    Note that all the apps add-on indeed went from the device... a WIPE is very obedient and removes the add-on apps. Reference:

    Hi rhythm_mittal

    Here, it is recommended that you upgrade your blackberry operating system 9810

    Search and download your OS and everything above applies

    By sdgardne 

     

    However, here's what I propose...

    The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find complete instructions via the link in my sig auto below. (It's probably debatable given the errors you have... it is likely that your data are already parts of your device, which means that you must now rely on a backup you took before that happened.)

    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.

    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:

    There are two methods for recovering for you to try:

    One:

    • Open Blackberry Desktop Software & connect your device with the PC using the USB cable, without inserting the battery.
    • You have three Retry option, update or cancel, and then click Update.
    • Once it is at the stage of the "initialization of pocket" update, then insert the batteries.
    • If this does not work, and you get stuck on the safeguarding of social data feeds, go to the second method below.

    Second:

    • Start your BlackBerry in safe mode.  Article ID: KB17877 how to start a mode BlackBerry smartphone without failurehttp://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17877

    • IF you can not connect or your desktop software does not recognize your device in Mode safe, please follow the instructions here to force detection: Article ID: KB10144 how to force detect the BlackBerry smartphone using the Application Loader
    • Go to device > delete > SELECT DATA > select this option to remove the Social flow and smart card data bases and follow the rest invites you to complete.

  • Using software update to blackBerry Smartphones.

    I had planned an update last night to demand for 2300 hour British. When I woke up, I found my phone was off and the charger was out of my phone. When you turn on again my phone, he immediately started backup software, which was going well until he started the social RSS update. Due to the fact he did not pay all night, it was not connected to a sense of network, it appears 'Social Feeds 0% '. Unfortunately, I can't leave this screen and so it tried to save social stream without connection for the last 6 hours.

  • BlackBerry smartphones, that I need help to transfer data from a 9870 "BOLD" for a Blackberry Curve 9300 Blackberry

    Hi, I have used a Bold 9870 for a few months now. I've been saving my camera on my computer periodically. Unfortunately, it has been exposed to water the weekend and unresponsive. I transferred my acct (by Sasktel) to the Blackberry curve of my son he no longer uses. (I'm drying my "BOLD" in a bag of rice and I hope that it will work again in the coming days?!).

    My question is did anyone know how I can get all my information backups "BOLD" (contacts, emails, texts, bbm surveys) and get only their transferred on the curve that I currently use. I feel completely lost without it!

    Hi shelran,

    Welcome to the BlackBerry support community forums.

    It's very sad to hear of your soaked BB device. I hope it still works!

    Check the article below to learn how to restore the data on the device-

    • KB03953  How to back up and restore data to a new BlackBerry smartphone

    I have a Bold 9900. I deleted my boxes to the letters but its always appearing in the Messages folder. Its so annoying can someone please help :-(

    Still confused, because I do not see you. By "record", I assume you mean the separate E-mail icon that was created when you went ahead and created the email account this time again? When it works correctly, you have really no duplicates - instead, you have the same email showing in two different places... one 'mirror' of the other, in a sense.

    But in fact should not do, however, so I'll notify then what do you is of (please, this time, to do this and nothing more!):

    1. Remove all THE email accounts of this device
    2. Perform a battery pull reboot
    3. Drive again the steps of the post 4 above (this time, however, please tell me that "done you these steps"... Please confirm each step translates exactly as I indicated above)
    4. Delete your database of Messages (note that this will delete probably all messages, including SMS history... you have to be careful because you realize this)

  • Mail update of blackBerry Smartphones

    Hello

    Please help, I just upgraded my mail for the latest software and the mail has stopped working, when I go to the post office set up it says update available for the device, but when I switch the unit to new email set up the version of the application 6.11.0419.0755 the phone then freezes on reboot screen. Why this phenomenon happens and is it possible to use the current mail set up, and no upgrade.

    Thank you

    I had to share this so people won't spend 2 weeks lost, wasted support calls telephone beause it solved my problem. All the best!

    My initial error message to come after I updated my Blackberry to the new OS6, I went to my email setup, and he says "search for updates"
    He finds a new update of my 6.0.0 already installed e-mail configuration application to the new 6.11.0419.0755.
    When I click on "Download", it says replace existing version? I click 'yes '.
    He said it: 'com.rim.bis.client' contains a different version of the "net_rim_bis_client" module, which is also used by the configuration of messaging application. If you continue, "email setup application" may stop working correctly. move forward?
    If I click 'Yes', it blocks my blackberry and it does not restart and I have to do a hard reboot complete, wipe the device and reload all of my backup on blackberry desktop.

    The solution: plug your BB to BB Desktop Software.
    List of Applications open.
    Make sure that language support is enabled. Leave BB Desktop Software to install language support option, then it will reboot.
    It worked for me yesterday after I found the fix above on the web. Before that date I've experienced everything everybody suggested which means that I reinstalled my OS several times.
    So if the steps above do not work, reinstall the latest OS and then make sure that supported language is checked. Everything works fine now.

    An icon of electronic mail can become visible again as long as new service books were received by the BlackBerry smartphone or because of the theme settings.
