Update: (Sept 05, 2009) AT&T has withdrawn this release, info here. There is no reason for existing users to downgrade.

An independently hosted copy of 4.6.0.297 is linked in this post or users may wish to refer to the previous latest release with carrier support. Application version 4.6.0.292

Download Here: <withdrawn by AT&T>

For install instruction to load any carrier 9000 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 (AT&T users may skip this step)
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.

Note for AT&T customers only: Visual Voicemail info is here

So far so good on 4.6.0.297. Time will tell if battery life is improved, etc.

BTW AT&T users do not need to delete vendor.xml

We don't have to delete the vendor file for AT&T?

[vbev84]

No because it's AT&T's new offical os

[JasW]

Wonder of wonders, AT&T has the latest Bold OS stickied, lol.

[litesout]

Finally, an update without having to delete the vendor file! What a concept! Thanks AT&T!

[I_love_my_bold]

still haven't figured out how to use VVM. Left myself a voice message and nothing showed up in the vvm app. just the usual voicemail icon.

But I did notice that when I deleted an application I no longer need, it no longer says that i have to reboot for it to be removed.
