Default New Curve 8300 OS - v4.2.2.265 / 4.2.2.146

Newest Curve 8300 OS from SmarTone-Vodafone - v4.2.2.265 / 4.2.2.146

Download it from HERE

Instructions for installing:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Desktop Manager installed. It's 4.2 SP2.
2. Download the above file to the PC then install it to the PC by running the file you downloaded. (Choose the Curve 8300)
3. Locate the vendor.xml file and delete it. It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Plug in BB and Open Desktop Manager. You should be prompted to upgrade.

Have some patience, this will take 30-60 minutes to complete. DO NOT unplug the device until it is finished!

Follow this thread if you want to unlock all vendor themes.

I am an AT&T customer so does that mean I can't use this new OS?

I'm not sure, but each new release fixes some kind of bug.

The carriers get release notes from RIM but usually they choose not to distribute them to us.

Well I am on day 3 of this release and so far so good. If I can go over 5 days without a problem then maybe the problem was fixed. I'll let you guys know.

Chinese is one of the supported languages. The default will be English, and you'll have an opportunity to select when you fire up the executable on your PC.

Latest I have seen is 4.2.2.146 / platform 2.4.0.62 - I'd love to find a later one that includes the newer Media Player that is included with the 8320, but I haven't seen that yet for the 8300. (new media player on the 8320 from TMo supports playlists & genres, among other improvements).
