great post

[cedricbengot]

try this way..
connect your phone first on PC
open this link BlackBerry - Device Software v5.0 - Download BlackBerry Device Software Today and don't use google chrome use internet explorer.

and you can see the UPDATE TODAY click on it
and open mycomputer>>program files>>Common files>>Research In Motion>>AppLoader>>Loader.exe

then next next until the loader sync your BB and back to the browser and click the UPDATE BOTTON.

Note: before upgrading your mobile make sure that you back up it because all your contacts and files would be deleted

this method i use to upgrade my 8900 OS 4.6.1 to 5.0
