Hello,

I'm trying to upgrade from 4.6.1 to 5.0.0.190 on my Curve 8900. I haven't had the BIS service for a while to save some $$$ - but it appears that the Desktop Manager 5.0 software won't let me upgrade because it will only allow "active" users to upgrade.

Any idea for a workaround?



Thanks

FYI, this is the "active subscriber" issue that others have reported. Is there any workaround for this..?

[cnick6]

bump

anyone?

Disabled pc internet connection?

or use the app loader(minus vendor.xml)

May work.

Good Luck.

Phil

Yes there I had the same problem but I did a little googling and found a solution its a very simple issue with active x plugins just go on the blackberry website they give u and update the active x and it will bypass it

yeah i thought i was screwed but yes it quite simple to get it
here is the link just click update make sure your not on firefox
just the regular internet explorer and download the active x plugin
BlackBerry - BlackBerry Device Software

hope this helps

I think the phone has to reconnect to the BIS after an update, so you may get it loaded, then have a phone that wont let you do anything.

this doesnt have anything to do with the phone...it only affects the desktop manager and allowing you to upgrade
