Problem Downgrading

sigitp · Thread Author #1 10-04-2010, 04:14 PM

I have problem at the step 4 about how to downgrade your blackberry.
When I start up the Desktop Manager, Select Application Loader and then select 'Add/Remove Program.' but there are not application I'd like installed (Blackberry Messenger, Blackberry Attachment Service, etc.). So, I can't downgrade.

Anyone got any ideas or knows how to solve this?

Here's what you can do:

- uninstall the OS 5 you have installed on your PC

- delete the folder (research in motion) where you've found the vendor file ( c: \program files\common files\research in motion )

- restart your PC

- reinstall the OS 5.0 which you wish to upgrade/downgrade to and delete the vendor file in ( c: \program files\common files\research in motion\AppLoader )

- connect your BlackBerry Via USB Cable and back it up using Desktop Manager

- Backup your 3rd party applications ( optional step )

- Disconnect from the Internet.

- 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 ''

- follow the prompts and make sure you select the languages and applications you wish to be installed ( when prompted, select ''Replace applications . . . . . . . )

- restore Backup(s) ( BBSAK requires internet connection to work properly )

Keep us posted
