Default OS Upgrading

So, I'm a Verizon user and downloaded the .122 OS from another carrier before any upgrades became available from Verizon. Now, I can't seem to do an OTA upgrade. Is there any way to get 5.0 wirelessly or will I have to do a download from my computer? I'm tired of .122 and almost bricked my phone after an apploader attempt (too many apps).

Any suggestions?

My suggestion is do some research in the OS Discussion area and learn a little bit about the Storm OS. Then use loader.exe to load 5.0.0.328. Before you do anything make sure you back up your phone with DM. Then wipe it clean of all 3rd party apps.

No OTA upgrade for 5.0, must be done through PC. There are various threads discussing the different methods of upgrading.
