Here's my short-version OS install guide if anyone needs a refresher...

ELITE1's Quick OS6 UPGRADE GUIDE

1. (Optional) Uninstall any previous OS from your PC.
2. Download OS to PC. Use Internet Explorer to do so, not Firefox or Chrome. (For leaked versions, the browser is irrelevant though.)
   *If 100% certain you've previously used FF or Chrome on same PC to DL an OS successfully, feel free to use FF or Chrome again.
3. Following successful DL, run OS file to install OS on PC.
4. On BB, go to BBM Options, scroll down to Backup section. Ensure Remote Backup is enabled AND also conduct a Local Backup to media card.
5. Go through any 3rd party apps that have option to save settings to media card, and conduct Backup to media card from menu within each of these apps. (Examples: all Bellshare apps such as BerryBuzz & BerryWeather; QuickLaunch; Shao's apps such as Wallpaper Changer & SixTools; Show Me The Images; etc).
6. Connect BB to PC. Open DM and backup device. Close DM.
7. (Optional) Use desktop program like BBSAK or BBMCP to backup 3rd party apps.
8. On PC, navigate to
   •64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader and delete file therein called Vendor.
   •32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader and delete file therein called Vendor.
9. (Optional/Recommended) Run BB Boss v2.2 or Shrink-A-OS/BBH+ Tool.
10. In same AppLoader file where you deleted Vendor, double-click on Loader to initiate OS upgrade. Follow onscreen instructions.
11. After OS install is complete, perform several physical battery pulls over first 1-2 days for OS to "settle in." Perform first batt pull very soon after OS is installed.

PS I've posted this before in other threads, but there always seems to be some people that appreciate a step-by-step each time.

Any idea what the changes are?

Other than txt messages extending beyond the previous cut off, the main things I've noticed are that I get the "spinning clock" a LOT less. Over all faster experience, and the connection menu when you click on the time from the main screen, (dashboard if you will), has been revamped a little. Overall an appreciated update. This we needed for those of us still running the Style

[axllebeer]

Ok after posting my 1st comment, I immediately got 30 seconds of the spinning clock.

The 7 sequential text isn't new....how's battery life? Is the radio stable? Did you shrink?

7 sequential tests is new to Sprint BlackBerrys. Previous .522 doesn't have it.

As stated by another poster, it's new to Sprint. After almost a full day running the update now it seems more stable than the previous version and battery life is a little better if anything but at worst I would say no worse. I have never made it through a day with the Style, but now I might, barely. Radio seems better, holds onto signal a bit stronger and data seems to be more consistant over network and WIFI.

[mrtouchedme]

It might be new to sprint's official for the style, but the sprint curve and bold have had it for awhile....and other officials for the style have had it for awhile too, I wouldn't consider it a awesome new feature if it's been available for 6 months or more! Thanks for the update on the radio and battery life, though!

[axllebeer]

Well I've been running the last update for a while now and one of the main differences that I have continued to notice is less "spinning clock" while using the web browser and overall faster performance in the browser. Before when attempting to load a full website, there was no point in trying because the hourglassing was horrible. Now it's only occasional and loads faster as well.

After the update I cant get my email to work. Internet mail account with web based accounts not bes. After entering password I get this message, Sorry, unable to continue your session. Please login again. It happens on both work and home accounts. I tried a battery pull twice. Thanks in advance

I just got a notification about this on my Style directly. Is there a reason to download this to the computer instead of on the blackberry itself? Thanks!

[Chrysalis1156]

I've always done mine OTA on my Style as well as my previous 8330. Some people want to shrink the OS & also non-Sprint peeps might want to remove the vendor files & download it. I've never had a problem - the choice is yours.

I am having the same problem as racemanfl. I use my Yahoo address as the main email account on the phone. My only choice after selecting "Internet Account" in setup is to enter my Yahoo password. Then I get the "Sorry, unable to..." message. I upgraded over the phone. Anyone else solve this problem? Thanks.
