Hey everyone... Hopefully a question that you can answer for me in my confusion!
I just got off the phone with AT&T. I got my Bold a couple of weeks ago and was having terrible reception problems. They did a few items on their end and then told me it wouldnt hurt to update to the new OS. When I went on www.att.com/bbdownloads, it says that OS 4.6.0.517 is the newest one available. So I installed it but when I go into options > about it says 4.6.0.297? Is this right or did I do something wrong? The tech lady also said when I updated to .517, I could get visual voice mail for free. Any help out there would be great! - 10-08-2009, 07:12 PM #28 4.6.0.517 is the build. 4.6.0.297 is the actual OS. The woman from AT&T is correct that this is the most recent official AT&T version.

If you want, you could use 4.6.0.303, which is the most recent official version from any carrier. You just need to delete the vendor xml file if you use 4.6.0.303.--Laura Knotek (formerly known as lak611)

AT&T just pushed OS 4.6.0.297 to my Bold. I already have OS 4.6.0.297 installed! Has this happened to anyone else? How do I get it to go away? Or should I go through the installation? I don't really want to have to set up all my apps again, especially for an OS I already have installed.
And to PennStBoy8, YES, you can get VVM with .297
After looking closer, the platform version is .247 instead of .243. I currently have .243. Should I install?Last edited by QueSi; 10-08-2009 at 07:29 PM.
- 10-08-2009, 07:25 PM #31 Yes. I installed .297 first, then I logged in to MyWireless account on my PC and signed up for VVM there. I created my own password and the provisioning worked. Some folks have needed to call customer service because they got provisioning errors, but I had no issues. Originally Posted by PennStBoy8

the 50K CrackBerry challenge - 10-08-2009, 07:28 PM #32 Go to options>about and see what the platform is. You might have platform 4.0.0.243. If so, that's the version that was introduced in Sept. and pulled. Platform 4.0.0.247 is the latest. Originally Posted by QueSi --Laura Knotek (formerly known as lak611)

I detested the first .297 version...since battery life was questionable, and I had quite a few failed calls where I had none with .282 before. But, the new .297v2 from AT&T seems to be rocking along at least as good as my fave version (4.6.0.282) has ever done. Thumbnail pics open a tad slow...but overall, it's a good performer.
- 10-08-2009, 10:58 PM #38 The Wireless Update feature will only recognize the upgrade if you are currently using an official AT&T release, which .282 is not of course. Originally Posted by crzyazn

How is the battery life and memory on this build along with the picture loading time? The only reasons I have not yet updated my OS from .266 is because of that it was horrid the first time around at&t released the OS. Has it gotten better, worse or no change? If not then I'll just keep what I got no use in fixing something that's not broken.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 10-27-2009, 02:03 PM #44 I'm on 4.6.0.237 (an unofficial one) and the wireless update doesn't work as you've mentioned. How do I go about updating this now or reverting to an official ATT one so that I can use the wireless update? Originally Posted by GolfnCPA

Edit2: I was able to upgrade from nonofficial to the higher official one through the RIM website. :-)Last edited by DrJeff; 10-27-2009 at 03:17 PM.
- 10-27-2009, 10:45 PM #46 nope. That's only for installing operating systems that are not of your native carrier (ex: any overseas international carrier) Originally Posted by mobeancounter
