Sorry to threadjack but when I connect to DM it keeps telling me "No Software Update is required for your device"

You probably didn't delete

Program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion/AppLoader/vendor.xml

If this is supposed to be for Sprint I wouldn't have to correct?

You did download the file that 1 2 Many posted right? The "Official" Sprint version hasn't dropped yet, therefore the DM would recognize 4.3 as the most up to date OS.

For anyone having issues updating their OS, there is a great discussion about it here:

Newest 8330 OS: v4.5.0.89 (Multilanguage)

I just update, works flawlessly, thanks

**rampage537** · 01-13-2009, 06:12 PM

I do notice that my Voicesignal Vsuite 2.1 had version unknown and build unknown, anyone else have that issue?

**rikenco** · 01-13-2009, 06:13 PM

I have downloaded it twice. I get this error when attempting to unzip it:

Can not open file, does not appear to be a valid archive.

Now what, any help? Does it unzip in the DM only?

**YourMobileGuru** · 01-13-2009, 06:15 PM

Never mind. The vendor file here is blank so that's not necessary.

I am now I downloaded a "mirror" that CodYBB posted in the same thread that was faster but only after I deleted the vendor xml did it get recognized?

So i'm now downloading from 1 2 Manys link.

When you install it it overwrites the vendor.xml file with a blank one so yes it should recognize the new OS no problem.

Sounds like it's not downloading correctly. You HAVE to open the .zip and run the .exe inside of it before you can install the new OS. Also, if you have a previous version of 4.5 on your computer, uninstall it before you try to update.

Has anyone tried this on a VZW curve yet? I realize it should not matter, but I just wanted to double check to make sure it worked!

There should be no problems with it, just remember to delete vendor.xml before you try to update.

**VTshorty78** · 01-13-2009, 06:25 PM

Yeah I figured it would not matter, but you can never be too safe I suppose

**rampage537** · 01-13-2009, 06:34 PM

I downloaded both but only used 1 2 many's version, took about 20 minutes to download

**mstiffany7** · 01-13-2009, 06:57 PM

Mass storage mode allows you to access your SD card directly (like a flash drive). It's really up to you if you want to or not, but unless you have a reason to it's generally better to just say No.
