"* Only active blackerry service subscribers are entitled to install upgrade this BB Device Software upgrade..."

I have a storm 9530 on Fido Canada Network with verizon 4.7.0.148 OS.

I am trying to install a 5.0.0.230/190 Hybrid.

I disconnected from the net.
I installed the .190 (BB9530190.exe)
I removed the Rim Tools
I installed the 230 (newfamilypics-230.zip) Overtop as directed
I Launched DT Manager and went to upgrade it recognized the 5.0 OS but had an * Astrix with the above clause I wont let me go further.. any suggestions?

**raluaces** · 10-18-2009, 04:19 PM

have you tried installing with the full .230 so you don't have to load .191 under it?

If you don't have BIS, then you can't install the OS; however, if you do have it, resend your service books then do a bat pull and retry.

**supastyles** · 10-18-2009, 04:45 PM

I dont have BIS.... so I guess thats it...

I had this error when trying to load an OS on a phone I had yet to activate and was sitting at the activation required screen. Got the same issue.

What I did to fix:

1)Installed BBSAK
2)Wiped Device so there was NO OS on it.
3)Ran the install again of the OS I wanted to load
4)Removed the files I didnt want (vendor.xml and such)
5)Used BBSAK to "Load OS" which prompts the load through AppLoader.

This worked for me. Give it a shot, not a guarentee but heck, worth the chance.

**Mexiking** · 10-18-2009, 04:48 PM

Yeah, they implemented the service status check for all 5.0 beta OS's so there's nothing you can do till they release the official.

**Mexiking** · 10-18-2009, 05:28 PM

I stand corrected.. Tried drm's method with my friend's unlocked storm on AT&T without BIS and 5.0 loaded fine. Just make sure you upload it via apploader and not DM.

**djm1947** · 10-18-2009, 05:33 PM

And be sure to delete the Vendor file. This was not mentioned in the initial post.

**supastyles** · 10-18-2009, 08:54 PM

Looks like it worked... it doesnt seem to work in DM at all tho if i want to add or remove apps

May I know if you get this error message after you perform wipe and load the OS, or was trying to upgrade?

I've gotten that error in the past when forgetting to delete the vendor.xml file.

i see the icon for the OS on your desktop. have you double clicked that icon, and installed it like a regular program onto your pc?

if so, have you removed the vendor.xml file from your PC prior to install?

Check out the guide that was just posted on the main CrackBerry page.

I have installed the OS onto my system and deleted the vendor.xml file...i first say this message when i wiped a device to install an OS. Luckily i had another computer to complete that task...now every time i install an OS and try to load it DM dosent pick it up and Loader.exe gives me that error....If there is a theme for example installed i get this instead....Screenshot below

Awesome.. looks like this is working for me too, thanks mate!

To those who can not update the OS because it says you do not have an active service plan. Try this

Unplug your USB cable
Pull the battery
Delete the vendor.xml
Start the loader.exe
Plug in the USB cable and battery, in that order.

The loader should detect the Blackberry very quickly and allow you to load OS5 regardless of whether or not you have an active data plan.

This worked for me when nothing else did. I had V4.6 and could not update to V5.0 because My Unlocked Blackberry 8900 was never on an active BES or BIS. Problems I had with the 8900 on V4.6 was bluetooth would not pair with anything and when the device booted up it only showed white screen. (no blackberry with white meter bar) So I used this to update to V5.0 and now everything is fixed.
