hey kae7,

me too. i can't upgrade to OS6 : ( tried many times too. using every possible step. over and over , rebooting pc rebooting bb. sigh.

i am using the Curve 3G on OS6, but have been given a Telstra Bold 9700 on OS 5 which i want to upgrade to.
i have downloaded and install the new OS6 release from Maxis. 9700jAsia_PBr6.0.0_rel2921_PL6.6.0.241_A6.0.0.666_Maxis.exe

after deleting the vendor.xml, and installing it, its rebooted and stuck stuck on telstra with OS5! tried many times ady. i watched the video on installing a new os, in the "Device Application Selection", i get "Facebook" and "Twitter" as selection. Nothing like the whole list in the tutotial screenshot.

i can't even get the OS6 to load, how to try Raikkohad V9?

firstly, I suggest you to wipe your device[before wiping the device, backup your apps and data]

follow the instruction below

Hey kae7,

i dont have to backup as it has been reset to factory default. i managed to wipe the device with BBSAK. Now its on the "Reload Software 507" screen.

I removed the Blackberry Device Software OS 6 from my computer and installed the latest with "9700jAsia_PBr6.0.0_rel3049_PL6.6.0.246_A6.0.0.706_Vodafone_New_Zealand.exe".
Went to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader", removed the Vendor.xml and clicked on Loader.exe. i still can't install, the error was "unable to install

I noticed that after i install from ""9700jAsia_PBr6.0.0_rel3049_PL6.6.0.246_A6.0.0.706_Vodafone_New_Zealand.exe", the files in the app loader doesn't seem to change/update. its looked like its the same files from before. after install , the only additional file is the "vendor.xml" file. Do you think i should redo everything and delete all the files in xxx\Apploader? Help, i have a 507 screen bold now.

no need to delete all files..

just delete vendor.xml .

and then try clicked Loader.exe again..

or using BBSAK , try Load OS > choose .706 OS.


the 507 screen is just because of No OS installed there..

Done!! Found the problem. There is an extra Vendor.xml file hidden in a virtual folder in App Data. And the Automatic Update have to be disabled. Thanks so much for your guidance.

owh yeah, glad you solve the problem..

for 9700, which hybrid OS7 most stable? 4-5 clients kept asking me to do it. i dont know to download which version -.-! damn.

any hybrid are stable..

i'm just using raikkohad v9

Barracuda not bad too..

depend on the base OS too...

raikkohad v9? better than v7?

raikkohad v10 , Barracuda Hybrid 723 not bad

I would say that it is better, anyway... Raikkohad v10 is the latest, quite good

yup , because using module from os 7.1.0.190

Agree with you. Raikkohad hybrids haven't gave me any problems so far.

Some hybrids before i tried Raikkohad gave me problems such as missing apps like BBM.

Now I'm a loyal fan of Raikkohad hybrids.

Same with me

Love the themes he provide in his hybrids too.

Trust me guys, you won't go wrong with Raikkohad.

Yup , huhu . Barracuda also not bad .
