Official 4.5 update for Sprint

reagan247 · Thread Author #1 11-27-2008, 05:11 AM

I read this article and surprise surprise, it updated my Sprint 8330...

http://www.blackberrycool.com/2008/11/blackberry-os-45-now-available-from-blackberrycomupgrades-no-seriously/

Is this a RIM official OS updated? And why is Sprint not saying anything about it?

Well I can't read that article from here but Sprint has not yet released 4.5. Other carriers have like verizon and people are putting VZW 4.5 on their Sprint curves but I won't.

It will work, as long as its the cdma version. Just google 4.5 os for 8330 and you'll find one. I'm running 4.5.0.97. Use crackmem or master control program to delete the vendor.xml file, install, and you're good to go. I'm with Sprint and have had two versions of 4.5 on my curve so far. No issues at all.

No official word from Sprint. I too am running 4.5.0.97. Rock solid. No issues.

If you have a sprint curve, I encourgae you not to wait for official OS. I am on my third OS(currently on .97) and I cant wait till .102 comes out for cdma.
Maybe a bit of memory leak through out the week, but a easy fix everytime.

Installed .97 yesterday...no MMS but the sprint radio works though it did not work on .77...I can download xm radio app but it is kinda crappy sound quality...i get html email but it is worse than using the gmail app...it seems to run a bit quicker and a few more other options...i noticed it has flash player now...but the movie did not play cause it was so big a file.

I'm also very curious to know when Sprint will make 4.5 official. I'm looking at the Empower HTML viewer standard program. Its very, at 50% off with the Heist sale going on. But why spend the money if 4.5 will be out soon

@nydog- I bought empower last time it was on sale, but when I upgraded to an unofficial 4.5 on my sprint 8330, the html email built in looks so much nicer!

I'd like to see a version of 4.5 that fixes the speaker problem (newer than 4.5.0.56).

So I am under the impression, after reading the above that my Sprint Curve 8330 will work with this upgrade although it is not a Sprint "official" one, yes?
If so, could someone, very slowly, tell my exactly what i need to do to install the upgrade? Do i do it from my phone or my computer? Do I also do a seperate upgrade for my Desktop Manager? One before the other? I am kind of a novice here! TY

So this is not the sprint official one so I need to delete the vendor file, right?

I'd just go to BlackBerry - Update your Device Software on my computer and plug in my Blackberry. The site gives you instructions...
