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...

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

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.

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...

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

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!
