674! whoa! thanks.....

[clexman]

Thank you! When I see the sticky at the top of the forum it just makes me feel like all the info is old. I made a post earlier for the sticky to be removed/changed, but all I heard was crickets...

[silverbullet]

[skyboxer]

674! whoa! thanks.....

yeah you did exactly what the mods wanted you to do in order to make this a sticky.... let see if it works..

[latingeo]

Question, I do all the above instructions, as follows, I cant seem to get Desktop Manager to recognize the new software,nor the Loader.exe file, can anyone help.

[FF22]

Some folks suggest that you stop your internet connection. In some versions, it appears Desktop Manager may also check to see if there's an update. Also, search your computer completely for the vendor.xml file - some have found a second copy.

I would welcome a direct link, as with RIM's indirect link I can't use a re-connectable download manager...I've tried to get the MTS version many many times, and keep losing the connection...

Also, be aware that the MTS version of .419 is a different size than the leaked Beta...

MTS = 103,385kb
Beta = 103,362kb

While a modified splash screen/wallpaper may account for some changes in individual file sizes, it's more likely that there are many changes in the MTS OS from the Beta...Some processes optimized; features in the Beta which were disabled for testing are enabled; different presets in the radio/browser; changed samples in audio/video; etc...

It would be worth doing a comparison of the two...

...If (unlike me) you can download it...

[skyboxer]

Well I did what I could. Hopefully PK will see this and set it right.

We have known about this for a while. I'm making this post to try and get it stickied. I still see posts from people looking for it:

Your instructions were exact to the tee! I followed every step and I was able to upgrade to 5.0, the only extra step I had to do was unplug/replug my usb cable when it didnt recognise my pin then everything worked flawlessly!

It was difficult to locate the vender file at first glance but i scrolled through and found it at the very bottom. Not sure if this will help but once DM didn't recognize the new software, I closed out of it, quickly unplug/repluged the usb from my BB, then clicked on Loader.exe file and the download started. Good luck!

if you are still having problems, check out this thread.

note - there can be more than one vendor.xml file

[latingeo]

Now if this is an official software, why isn't it posted where its supposed to be?

[skyboxer]

I am working on that problem as we speak. Hopefully the thread will be returned to its rightful place and stickied soon.

I actually had to remove every other installed OS on my computer, then wipe my phone to get it to install. I know that's extreme but it worked for me.

[latingeo]

I have removed every OS as well, and yet, nothing, dont want to brick my Tour, not that technical either

Returned to 9630 Forum, and sticked! 1 caution thou, I have heard that this version DOES have issues so please proceed with caution and do the research before installing. Also if someone can setup a megaupload or rapid share mirror that would be good because sometimes it's difficult for those on carriers to get the official IF their carrier has not released it. Remember to delete the vendor xml also.

[Tripster]

Here is a link for it via MegaUpload found here: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service, Please inform me if the link goes down or if the file isn't correct. I just test it and it worked fine for me.

"Hybrids OS's suck"


I don't know why you would say this. I am running a hybrid from BBHybrids, and it smokes! I have d/l speeds of 6000-8000, and no problems whatsoever. I guess you are entitled to your opinion, though.

FYI: This hybrid is based on .419
