This OS will fly regardless of your CDMA carrier?

Hey just FYI

I just booted this on my Verizon 8830 and everything is running great..."about" screen states 4.5.0.127

thanks!

so if i did the .131 trick, will this go over top or do i have to downgrade first?

[FuturaxLabs]

I just checked RIM's site and it doesnt have any official listing on a 4.5 OS update for sprint. I see its for Bell but will it work on a sprint 8830 with no problem??

[macthenaif]

Ok, newbie question:
Can you go from v4.2.2.196 straight to v4.5.0.177? Or must I first upgrade to an earlier 4.5 beta release?

sR - have you had time yet to determine any differences from .77 or .101?

[Heavy Fluid]

This makes me a little nauseated. I just spent the better part of 3 days trying to figure out what was wrong with .101, and now after flashing to .77, they officially release this?

It is intended to keep you on your toes and the mind flexible. Although, it does lead to thinning hair as it is pulled out, strand by strand.

I hope folks will let us know how it goes. I upgraded to .77 in August, I believe and had nothing but problems and having a hiking/camping trip out of state planned, I downgraded almost instantly (to 4.2....196) and have not looked back.

heavy - at least the 8830 is getting some official love

I just downloaded DM 4.7 from BB's site...had 4.5 before. And installed this and removed the vendor file then tried to update the OS on the phone but 4.7 DM cannot find the update. I have a Sprint 8830. Any suggestions?

[FuturaxLabs]

Im def happy to see the 8830 getting some love but i just want to make sure if i end up updating my 8830 which is on sprint that it will be ok and not cause any problems.
