I recently got a Blackberry bold locked to Rogers (I have Rogers too).
After putting my sim card and activating it (push service working etc...) I still am not being able to upgrade to 5.0 OS. I was using Bell's OS and I removed Vendor.xml.
Any thoughts of why still I can't upgrade my OS to 5?
The original 9000 model is a 3G device suitable for use on Rogers network but not on the Bell or Telus networks.
The newer 9700 model ...
Are you sure you have the correct OS software installed? Use Windows Control Panel / Programs to check the version and compare that to your result from:
