I am in Mexico, using TELCEL as the carrier.
What is the latest OS for the BOLD? and what if I install it? I ask this because I see people asking for the latest OS for their specific carrier?. Does a carrier have their own OS for the blackberry??

I appreciate your comments...

Might try looking at whats posted first.

My carrier here in Canada released an official 4.6.0.162 release. I tried it, but didn't like the bloatware the carrier added to the OS. Now I'm running a generic 4.6.0.162 official release and I am very happy with it. As sunkast mentioned .167 is out there... for example; that is what AT&T in the USA is offering currently.

At this time I have no reason to upgrade for the time being, very pleased with the improvements over previous versions. Very stable and major improvement in battery efficiency.

168 is the newest

Welcom to CB

Sounds like your new to BB, I would spend a bit of time with your bb and get used to it before upgrading, ensure you are comfortable with the upgrade procedure before attempting.

EVERYTHING you could possibly need with regards to upgrading is here on the forum

Hope this helps........good luck.

.168 may be the newest but by no means is it an official release. In fact, it's a leaked Beta version, so unless you have a good idea what the repercussions are, I'd be very careful installing it, however the latest Official version out is .167 which from what I gather is mostly stable. Once you have d/l the OS, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the Installation procedure which can be found by searching for it on this forum, most importantly deleting the 'Vendor' file post installing the new OS so that it can be used as a non-carrier specific OS. Good luck..

Alot of people are sticking with the .162 since there isn't much bugs on it. I myself is using .167.

My questions was not answered. If I use the latest version 4.6.0.167 will it work with TELCEL.. because my BOLD came with the following version:

v4.6.0.166 (platform 4.0.0.158)

[sunkast]

Your question was answered by the fact that more than one person linked you to the newest OS version for the Bold. If it didn't work, we would have said so.

Yes, I don't see why it wouldn't work. I am using an OS that is not from my carrier. Though when you do this, you simply have to (It is imperitive that you do) delete the vendor.xml file when doing the upgrade.

This will be helpfull... http://forums.crackberry.com/f3/prop...ocedure-53359/

All BB OS's are device specific and will only work on the device they are designed for.

Hi:

I'm currently running 4.6.0.168 on mine, with any problem.... Just make sure you delete the vendor file before you update the OS....

So you can run the latest OS with any problem....

What kind of bloatware did you notice? I upgraded before Rogers released 162, but did they really add a bunch of stuff? Or just the usual Rogers Mall, etc.

Well I only had the Rogers .162 on for about 30 minutes before I replaced with a generic all language .162 Yes, the Rogers Mall was there... I don't know if there was alot of bloatware going on but I did notice that they had taken the BB web browser hostage. ie: I had been running a generic Beta .150 before and when I installed the Rogers .162 I noticed upon launching the BB browser that it had a big Rogers logo on the initial wait page (Instead of Blackberry logo) and then the home page was all roger'd up (instead of the stock Blackberry url box; google/wikipedia/dictionary Search box and then just the bookmark folders below.

I just went minimalist and abandoned all the Rogers branding. Where else they made their mark I do not know, wasn't on my phone long enough. The only Rogers I get is on phone power on and power off, which is part of the firmware.

I even went as far as buying the unbranded bottom plate from cnn.cn
