I agree, you will get a much wider reponse here then in a carrier specific subforum.

What is the exact file name of the OS you are trying to install?
This verison is specific to the 8330m, just to be sure.
it is for my model, but here is the file name:
8330mAMEA_PBr4.5.0_rel281_PL3.4.0.51_A4.5.0.169_Ce llular_South.exe
so it is for my BB just not for my carrier.
was i supposed to copy the sprint vendor.xml install the cellular south OS then put my sprint vendor.xml back and upgrade, or do i upgrade with the cellular south vendor.xml?
Vendor.xml is a security file that will prevent you from accidentaly loading it in to just any BlackBerry. In order to work around the security, delete the file. It will then allow Applications Loader to recognize it as an Install source.
The upgrade fails at turning on the device radio. ...
If I understand correctly, you have installed both the BlackBerry Desktop Software and this device OS software.
You were able to locate the vendor.xml file and delete it.
BlackBerry Desktop Manger or Applications Loader was able to connect to your BlackBerry.
it starts the upgrade by turning off the radio, then it backs everything up, then it turns the radio back on and thats where it fails. ill make a video.
