Then click on apploader.exe to upgrade.

bought Tour 9630 with 4.7xx OS.

second day, i nuked it in the morning..in the afternoon i bring it back to life with OS 5.0.0.419

Love it!!

mines using bold from maxis..got problem to update OS5.0..already do instruction 1st page..anyone also hv same problem or not upgrading Bold from maxis?

What problem are you facing? Any kind of error message?

I using Vista 7..at application loader using loader.exe it doesn't show any application update of OS 5.0..now i using v4.6.0.303. my DM v5.0.1 and also install with 9000jEastAsia_PBr5.0.0_rel661_PL5.2.0.33_A5.0.0.411_Bell_Mobility_Inc.exe

so how come to overcome this problem..tried all method to upgrade my bold.

hello i wan to ask if this is the latest i can get to update for Onyx 9700 ?

9700jEastAsia_PBr5.0.0_rel541_PL5.1.0.96_A5.0.0.344_Maxis.exe

I've search and get .422 , is it compatible for my bb ?

As long as it's for the Bold 9700, it should be compatible.

But remember to delete vendor.xml unless the firmware is an official release by Maxis (for Maxis sets) and Celcom (for Celcom sets).

I am wondering how to backup our current OS be4 even flashing our BB?

I might want my older OS just in case the new 1 give me troubles.

Anyway, i found out that digi has their own OS upgrades which i am not wrong is 5.0.6xx. Currently downloading it and will try tomorrow if i am able to backup my current OS.

Please advice.

Hi sonyclie77 , mine currently is 5.0.0.344 , and the one i found is 5.0.0.442 , any difference or i just have to wait for maxis own official release ?

You can try downloading .442 and flash it.

But what's stopping me is I noticed it doesn't have East Asian language support.

I'd stick with .344 until I find another firmware with Chinese language support.

Added on January 26, 2010, 1:01 amI'm not sure how to backup current firmware, but you can download it again from BlackBerry's support site.

Hmm... DiGi's latest firmware is .400.

I will flash and see if there's any changes.

Anyway to check a firmware is to see the Applications section, ie. 5.0.0.400, and not the Package Version, ie. v5.0.0.633.

If i need to upgrade my firmware, is it need to delete the vendor.xml which located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader? may i know what is the next step, need some help, just enter BB world.

Next step is to initiate AppLoader.exe, and follow the on-screen instructions.

I bought my set from t-mobile . if i flash mine with the current digi one, i don't think i am able to flash back to my current OS from t-mobile.

Why would you want to flash back to T-Mobile's OS?

To those who wants to upgrade their OS and using Vista and above please delete ur vendor.xml folder too in

C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Local\VirtualStore

"username" is ur own computer user account

once in that folder search for Research In Motion folder n delete the vendor.xml there

its actually a backup made my windows security feature
thats why even u hv deleted the one in program files folder u still cant update the OS cos windows will still check from Virtualstore folder

you need to delete these two location then you should be able to upgrade the OS

hope this helps

WEEEEE

If anything get's wrong , then i still can flash them back.

You can download the original OS from BlackBerry's support site.

If you want to restore T-Mobile's settings, just don't delete the vendor.xml file before flashing.

this thread is very helpfull...currently upgrading my 8900 after doin sum studies for days...hopefully everything will be ok..tq
