If you haven't tried this, it may be your answer.

This should solve it.

OR

Have a look at the link in my signature ( Any OS Upgrade Procedure ) . . it sure helped a lot

nothing is working!!!

Steps :
1- download the OS
2- Install the OS on your PC
3- Open C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
4- Delete Vendor.xml
5- Click on loader.exe

Next next next next and you're done

nothing is working!!!

this is strange !

have you tried to uninstall the OS installed on your PC and delete the folder (AppLoader) where you've found the vendor file, restart PC and installing the OS again > delete the vendor file ?

Then run loader.exe or CrackMem

Try what Ahmed say if it didnt work , try changing you DM Version ..

Try what Ahmed say if it didnt work , try changing your DM Version ..

i have tried everything you guys are telling me and i appriciate your help but no matter what i do nothing works... i tried uninstalling 5.0 os from my computer then deleting the app loader folder then restarting computer then installing 5.0 again and when i click loader.exe.. i click next next next... and it goes to "choose applications that are to be installed or removed" theres a bunch of apps there. nothing says OS 5.0.. so i click next and it says "no actions are required" this is really pissing me off

The only way I have been able to update mine successfully is with crackmem.
If I dont use Crackmem, it only shows the supported updates from the carrier I guess and this is 4.6 only.

I use Crackmem and works like a charm

I DL the update and run if from the desktop. then go into crackmem to do that process then open the Desktop manager and the update is then there.

. . . . . . . . . . . i tried uninstalling 5.0 os from my computer then deleting the app loader folder then restarting computer then installing 5.0 again

Have you also tried BBSAK or CrackMem instead of the '' loader '' method ?

When you install the OS again, run CrackMem and select your OS then click on '' Wipe Device ''

if you've also tried that . . . well, I'm afraid I can't help

sorry

[Ahmed G.]

No one told you to delete the App Loader folder, but to delete the "Vender.xml" file inside of the App Loader folder. Did you type a Typo in your last post, or did you actually delete the "App Loader" folder?

I asked her to delete the AppLoader folder so he/she starts from scratch and then installs the OS ( after that delete the vendor file )

This technique has worker everytime and it recognizes that you have an OS installed afterwards

[Ahmed G.]

Yeah, I see that I missed that. I have never had a problem installing a new OS to any of my phones, so I'm backing out of this thread. I hope you find joy.

I do my best and I do find joy in helping others especially when thei problem is solved
