BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.6.0.418
Multilanguage; contains English
From simobile (Slovenia)
This will load to any carrier's 9000.

Package Version: 4.6.0.418
Consisting of:

* Applications: 4.6.0.247
* Software Platform: 4.0.0.206
* File name: 9000M_PBr4.6.0_rel418_PL4.0.0.206_A4.6.0.247.ex e
* File size: 114MB

Download here: http://upload.simobil.si/9000M_PBr4....A4.6.0.247.exe


1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.

[BB_GLORY]

Agreed. by far the best yet.

[Garz]

Glad to see it go as a carrier official

And yet the Mac OS X bluetooth tethering issue has NOT been fixed.

Tethering on the Mac has not been possible in OS 4.6.0.2xx

=(

[Crackberrykills]

Hey now. That is what I am talking about right there.

anyone know what the issue with this is? it worked great in .190..?

[Tronyx]

Is there anything different with this official .247 over the leaked beta one?

Other then the fact that it's official of course, lol.

No, there is never a difference from the beta to official except the Vendor.xml file is empty on betas and not on official releases.

No, there is never a difference from the beta to official except the Vendor.xml file is empty on betas and not on official releases.

This confirms all bugs will remain(ie: Menu key 2nd click select)?

Thanks

That's what I thought. Thanks for clarifying Crucial.

what are the pro's and con's of this OS folks??

[username0022]

I'll be waiting for the next one... I'm pretty satisfied with .237.

It's been all pros for me so far.

[redone13]

Great OS! I upgraded to the .247 beta this morning to try to fix the fact that my built-in ringtones disappeared. I had .237 and that was fine. The browser is a good bit quicker and I really like the BlackBerry button click-twice-to-execute feature.

Thanks for the upload.

CX, to be honest, I have been on the fence for awhile. However, I am going to make it happen. I hope this build is as righteous as everyone has said.

why would i upgrade off .185 if it works perfect? No re boots, 50mb free mem after reboot...etc...

Hey, if it is working well for you, then stay. However, if there are any problems, I would go with the upgrade.

since I've upgraded the OS has been faster
while booting up, no reboots, faster browsing, better radio reception, wifi and locking on the gps, but if .185 works for you then stick with it

[Hitz]

Con: The phone log is jacked up with contacts listed more than once and the history doesn't tie out right

[kenguy79]

I'm very tempted to upgrade to test out the double click menu feature...whatever that is I'm on 237 - any other reasons to upgrade?

Also - I'm on BES. The last time I upgraded, I fell off the system. Is that normal for the Bold? I upgraded my 8310 curve using basically the same method as the Bold and I had no interruption in service to the BES.

I understand. But IMHO, theres not really any cause for concern with this build. It's rather good. I haven't had any problems.
