i'm new to blackberry, i'm using curve 8900, T-Mobile version with
(OS 4.6.1.298)... MY BB always hang and auto restart when i surfing net or open multiple apps.... will upgrade resolve my problem ?

It might, no guarantees though, cos it depends on which firmware you upgrade to.

i already updated my os to 5.0. after doing all the stuff (vendor.xml and all), the os 5.0 still not appearing at DM

if, say they release a module update, etc, i cannot update them using DM (like it used to be)?

You won't be able to upgrade using DM. Try reading from Crackberry or google..

when i open bb desktop manager 1 box popup..

task in progress "checking for device application updates.Please wait"

How to completely format my bb 9700 to factory state ?

Seriously i need help from some1. I tried upgrading my OS today.

I downloaded "9700EastAsia_PBr5.0.0_rel680_PL5.1.0.116_A5.0.0.423_Bell_Mobility_Inc " to upgrade my OS to .423 . I tried following the guides here and http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-how-i...ating-system-os but still i couldn't understand how to use the loader.exe or even the DM.

Can some1 teach me how to upgrade them using the loader.exe? i couldn't understand anything from it.

my storm2 experience:

download your original(current) firmware which is running in your device..install it in your pc...

then install 5.0 OS(new OS) in your current OS folder...copy n replace current java folder with new OS java folder...

remove vendor.xml..then try apploader again..

Saya guna bb bold 9000

Tadi connect dan update. Lps tu error on update. Bila start, keluar 'blackberry' saja dan tak mahu hidup. Macam mana nak selesaikan ni? :'(

i had this problem before. what i did was to totally disconnect my laptop from the internet. worked, the desktop manager found the installed OS5.

i managed to upgrade bold and curve to os5.0 finally, as easy as ABC.

i guess you need a restart your machine after deleting vendor.xml before you try apploader.

That is not a good practice, it's always recommended to uninstall every BB OS in your PC (usually written Blackberry Device Software) before installing a new one. The same case if you want to flash multiple same model of BB, once you have done with one, re install the OS in the pc and re delete the new vendor.xml. This is to avoid "junks" being installed in your new OS, that is one of the reason when 2 devices are using the same OS, but one could have memory leak while the other one is normal.

Added on April 8, 2010, 2:03 amIt's not necessary to restart your PC after deleting vendor.xml, but it is a good practice to battery pull your BB right after you finish upgraded the OS (especially after you finish the start up wizard in your BB).

Added on April 8, 2010, 2:15 amDisconnect your internet connection before you open DM, or try to click the cancel button just the second it pops up.


0.do NOT connect your BB to your PC when step 1 and 2 have not finish
1.download and install blackberry desktop manager
2.download and install blackberry device software (BB OS)
3.connect your BB to your PC, and as usual if it is a new device, windows installing driver balloon in tray will pop out, let it finish.
4.go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
5.delete Vendor.xml
6.double click Loader.exe
7.just follow by clicking next next and next

There are few ways, but the fastest one should be by installing a new OS, but when there is an option asked whether you want to autosave and restore your data, you untick that option, and after that in the next application selection window, just untick those 3rd party or any additional applications you have installed.

good luck guys

Hi, i have a question regarding the Bold 9700. Is the above method by threadstarter the only method to updating device software or OS? We can't upgrade straight away from the phone itself?

any 1 success update BB 8900?

Managed to update for my BB8900. Very straight forward
followed exactly here :http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8900-series-discussion-javelin/223863-latest-os-8900-5-0-0-1004-5-0-0-592-multilanguage.html
