| |  How To: Update to a Leaked/Beta OS
INSTRUCTIONS:- Download the leaked OS
- Back up data on Desktop Manager under Back up/restore option. NOTE: If you get an error during this process, clear your browser cache (Browser > Menu Key > options > cache operation > clear all of them)
- Back up your 3rd party apps. How to backup 3rd party applications
- Disconnect your BB from Desktop Manager
- Download desired OS to your PC
- Install/run OS to PC
- If you are NOT on Verizon, delete vendor.xml file. It’s located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
- Connect BB to Desktop Manager and it should
- Click Application Loader
- Click Update
- At this point, disconnect your computer from the internet
- Select the OS you would like to load and continue
- Do not unplug BB during the process. It will take around 20-90 minutes to complete upgrade.
Note: Make sure to back up your phone and third party apps prior to updating in case something goes wrong in the update process Quote:

But when it comes time to upgrade againg, go to Control Panel on the computer>Add/Remove and uninstall the current device software. Then install the new and upgrade. | Other threads of interest: How-To Wipe with JL_Cmder ***How-To Backup 3rd Party Apps DM 4.7*** Why Won't My OS Update?? I Deleted The Vendor Xml file!!

im not sure why but after downloading the new OS, its not showing any updates when I connect my device.
Im not sure if I need to uninstall my desktop software and reinstall the one I just DL'ed from the .83 leak link, but I will try that. Is there anything else I can do to get my software to recognize I have a newer OS I'd like to update to?

I tried downloading the new 4.7.083 OS and NOT removing the vendor.xml file, since I have Verizon (looks like you do, too).
When I did that, it recognized and allowed me to load the new OS. Give that a shot. Mine looks like its working just fine.

| | disconnecting from the internet
Don quick question,
Why do we have to disconnect from the internet? Does DM try to download some information that prevents using the leaked os?

Instead of disconnecting from the internet you can do ctrl+alt+del and kill the process BbDevMgr.exe and RIMDeviceManager.exe
