Trying to update a 9300 from Tmobile. When i go to install the new OS it gives me a message that it must be an active berry. Do i have to have the sim in the phone for this to work.

Yes, you need to. You also need to search for all traces of the vendor.xml file before loading it up. Search hidden and system files besides everything else. Start in C:\.

so i wiped my 9900 with bbsak. loaded .440 onto my computer. went to load OS with bbsak but it says "no OS found, please install an OS for your phone". i went looking for Vendor.xml and i couldnt find it, even after searching hidden files. i rebooted the computer and still nothing. so until this works i guess i will have a bricked phone. anyone have any ideas for me? please...

edit:
bbsak wouldn't work for me so i just used the loader. worked perfect. bbsak also failed at restoring my apps : (

This being the first time I have done this I found it fairly easy. I will definitely be doing this in the future with every update that comes along. thanks for the threads about this!!

Hi everybody,

Just bought a brand new 9900. Because I need to use chinese so I wanted to load the .439 from wind.

With BBSAK, I made a wipe, then double clicked on the OS to install it on the computer, when it is done, I try to load the OS and it says to me : " No OS found......" SO I tried to use the loader.exe and at a moment it says to me : "blackberry desktop software dont have any software for this phone..."

I use the last DM that i just dl from rim's website. Does anybody can please help me?

Many thanks,

Fellouss

Make sure to delete the vendor.xml file.

On your computer, right click the Blackberry Device Manager icon (bottom right of screen) and then click "exit". You should be able to connect with BBSAK or BB Boss. I had same problem

I downloaded the .439 file and installed. BBSAK said there was no OS available so I used loader.exe instead. Does anyone know if this installs the most recent firmware, in this case .439?

If you installed it after downloading it, yes, it will update. If it's not from your carrier, you'll need to search for the vendor.xml file and delete it.

I installed it and it says v7.0.0.439? So I guess it worked? I am a little confused because I do have the web 'n walk (T-Mobile) icon while the firmware I installed was not t-mobile?

That is a service book pushed to your device by t-mobile. Simply hide it and it won't show again, or move it to a "junk" folder and then hide the folder.

Ah great! So I should be running a different firmware now? I hope this will fix all my problems!

I am stuck here:

9. If you have the desired OS installed in your computer, select the option for Load OS.

I downloaded the desired OS for my Bold 9900, I double clicked the file and it installed somewhere, but where? When I try to load the OS from BBSAK, it can't find the OS. Can anyone give me more clarity? Thanks.

BBSAK doesn't support the 9900 apparently, same with OS 7. But the other functions should work. Just go to c:/program files/common files/research in motion/apploader and launch that instead for the time being, until a later version is released with compatibility for new devices.

That explains why I thought I was going nuts yesterday trying to figure this out.

I loaded the latest official OS for 9800 from Vodafone New Zealand and I have a few bugs with it. I was trying to wipe my phone and reload the OS (didn't do a full wipe the first time) but when I use BBSAK to wipe my phone, it gives me the "wipe complete" box within a couple seconds and my phone has all my data still in it. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure you kill any processes and that desktop manager is closed before doing so. Open task manager (access from right-clicking the Start menu), kill the bbdevicemanager and anything that started with desktop manager. Or any processes that have rim, bb in them. Then try again, but leave your blackberry connected.

I don't see anything to do with desktop manager in my processes. The only one is Rim.DesktopHelper.exe *32 and Rim.Transcoder.exe *32. I'm running vista 64 bit.

Try killing those two and then reconnect your device and start bbsak. You could also try restarting your computer, or just use apploader instead, without the option to backup/restore your data.
