Upgrading Procedure for an Official OS release is as follows:

1. Download the OS and install it on your PC. (Make sure you have already removed any older OSes you have installed on your PC by going to Add / Remove Programs in Control Panel)

2. Delete the vendor.xml file (located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader)

3. Backup your 3rd party applications ( optional recommended step )

4. Connect your BlackBerry to your PC and right click on a file named Loader (located in the same place where you found the vendor.xml > C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\Loader.exe) and select '' Run As Administrator ''

5. Follow the prompts and make sure you select the languages and applications you wish to be installed.
The Loader will backup and restore your data by default.

Still Having Issues !!?
I would recommend using BBSAK to Upgrade, so

- Uninstall the OS(s) you already have installed on your PC
- Delete the folder (research in motion) in ( c: \program files\common files\research in motion )
- Restart your PC

Blackberry Torch 9800 Disassembly - Complete Take Apart





Torch 9800 OS 6.0.0.448

After a week full of meaningful leaks, we waited until Friday to bring you perhaps the most meaningful one of them all. Ah.. The Torch 9800, neglected since 6.0.0.337 for unknown reasons, a new OS has finally risen up against the odds and surfaced in the form of 6.0.0.448. We thought this might make just a few people happy.

As with the other .448 leaks, there is a new version of Facebook in this build (1.9.0.26). No more questions asked. If you have a Torch and are still fussing around with a .3xx build you need to update immediately. Just as a reminder, be sure to back up your data before diving in to this one and let us know how it's working for you! We expect nothing but the best. Enjoy!

Well, just this morning we saw OS 6.0.0.448 drop for the BlackBerry Torch 9800. Now, member XxMeSs1aHxX in our forums has just posted up build .450, which we’re not sure of the changelog. We’re not sure what might be different in .450, but we’re sure it’s to address some bug issues in .448.

Yeah lets wait for the 9780. Official will be next year for sure. AP set might be coming in December.

Hey guys, why my Torch have a different label beside the camera lens?



Mine show 5.0 MP auto focus

This is original set. Not AP. Possibly from Brightstar.
