Update & DM download trouble
- Hi, i just received a second hand BB Storm, it came with no install CD
I've been trying for the last 48h to download the Desktop Manager from the blackberry site but the server is mad slow and the file keeps timing out !!
Is there any other place to download the DM ??
All i really want to do at the moment is update the current .75 OS !!
I already got the .113 file, but of course need DM to perform update...03-16-09 11:55 AMLike 0 - Sometimes the carriers also have the DM file on their sites to post, but I have not experienced the slow times downloading from Blackberry.
There is another option to install which I will describe below, but there is a risk that you can loose your data if you have not completed a backup, but that may not be a problem if you just got the phone.
Download the OS you want to install to your PC and then install it
Go to Program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion/AppLoader on the PC
Delete the Vendor file located near the bottom of the file list
Then double click the Loader.exe file and it will begin the installation of the OS
Good luck03-16-09 12:07 PMLike 0 -
I don't know what version of DM you were trying to download, but since you have been ahving difficulty, try downloading the english version without Media Manger. It is a much smaller file. I also recommend downloading version 4.6 because some people have found bugs in 4.7. Here is the information so you know what to look for:
Desktop Manager 4.6.0 B27 English - Without Media Manager
File name: 460_b027_english_nomediamanager.exe
File size: 65.614 MB
