For install instruction to load any carrier 8230 OS on your BB:

1. Download desired OS to your PC
2. Install/run OS to PC
3. Delete vendor.xml file. It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Connect BB to Desktop Manager and it should prompt the upgrade. If not click app loader and that should initialize it.
5. Do not unplug BB during the process. It will take around 30-60 minutes to complete upgrade.

ALTERNATIVE:
THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH 4.6.1.284
If you are having issues updating to this version, I found an alternate method of loading OS on the Flip:

Updating from 4.6.1.182 to 4.6.1.236

that should do it. And yes, it is for the 8230. Anyway, I haven't followed up on the BB.... what's the diff between the 20 and the 30?

The 8220 is the GSM providers (T-Mobile, AT&T)

The 8230 is CDMA providers (Cellular South, Alltel, Verizon)

Do I understand correctly from the discussion about that I should not use this upgrade for my 8220 but instead use the .267 upgrade?

[oneillki]

Kay I don't know whether I should upgrade to this or not I have the 8220 with 4.6.0.174 (Platform 4.1.0.58) Should I upgrade to it or no?

[Tarv]

this is for the 8230 only

there is another stickied thread for the 8220

The above instructions are not working for my VZW 8230. I remembered to delete the vendor.xml file, so that's not the problem. When I attach the Pearl to my computer and open Desktop Manager, nothing happens. When I click on Application Loader, nothing happens.

The whole reason I'm doing this is because the time on the inside display isn't updating properly. Wonder if this problem is actually a larger issue?

Whats 236 gona do for my berry over 234 on my vz 8230?
I can only find 1 item from google that says battery life improves drastically on an alltel phone but that was going from 208 to 236

I have the same issue, not with the clock but the app loader. I think it has something to do with the platform being different. It is version .70 instead of .78 that the VZW one comes with.

I've had the same problem with my new VZW 8230. I even tried using CrackMem to wipe the device and it just comes up and say that Desktop Manager doesn't have any software installed for this device. Any ideas?
