Honestly, anything older than the latest is a waste.

Since it has downgrade protection, you can't go back anyway.

It's also the only version with both the Krack patch and the Broadcom patch. So you wouldn't want to be using anything else.

I don't disagree, however I'm more interested in preserving them for historical and archival purposes

You cannot downgrade to a previous OS. I.E. if you have 10.3.3.xxxx you cannot go to 10.3.2.xxxx etc. If you have 10.3.2.xxxx you cannot go down to 10.3.1.xxxx.

We don't keep old loaders around anymore.

What many people have done is use a really, really loudly recorded ringtone.

Btw, you should be on the latest 10.3.3.

Do you have the USB drivers installed? They would have been part of the BlackBerry Link package.

[MikeTMG]

I'll install BB Link.
should i open Link and then open the exe ?

No need. In fact, when installing Link, it will show three options to install - USB Drivers, Link and Blend (using the most recent install file, which is several years old now). You can check the box for just the drivers, and not bother with the other two.

Hello, ok i'll explain my situation in full

My P9983 is locked with 10.3.0.908 ...and cannot upgrade to a higher version.
The native Sofware Update doesn't let me do it.
Can I use these Autoloader to manually upgrade to 10.3.1 or 10.3.2 or the almighty 10.3.3 ?

And as mentionned earlier.

I downloaded the Q10 file
Unzipped
I plugged the P9983 into my PC
Launched ...and nothing
It actually said, in the "Run Command box": Could not connect to BB Device Manager

Any cues on this ?
Thanks for your help guys.

Yes you will be able to run the 10.3.3 loader I posted.

Is it still doing this after having installed the drivers? If so, try another cable, port, or even computer.

Do I run BB Link and then launch the exe ?

Because when I just launch the exe ...i still get the "Run Command box": Could not connect to BB Device Manager
And yes, the cable is connected properly, since i installed BB Link FROM my P9983

You don't use Link - only the USB drivers.

Exactly. The autoloader is a self contained program that only needs direct access to the device via the drivers.

[MikeTMG]

It worked, thanks a bunch, i owe you guys a round of beers !
My P9983 now runs the 10.3.3.2137

..and now, the real die-hard question:

How can I push the brightness level which is already at full ...at the same brightness level has the 10.3.1 ?

[brookie229]

Never heard of this problem. Try a hard reset/play around with brightness slider-turn down, reboot, check, increase brightness etc. Maybe over time your eyes will accept the new level. In 7 years none of my devices have experienced this over the countless OS updates I've done.

[MikeTMG]

will do !

In the meatime, i gotta update the "thing" so that I can access BBW again.
It always give the me the "No Networl Connection" excuse.

Why are you posting this old video in this thread?

[ajgilloh]

Sorry I searched through here and downloaded the autoloaders from Mega for my Z10 and Z30, but where are the Playbook Wifi files at?

In the PlayBook section.... as it's not a BB10 Device. But what do you mean by WiFi files? You looking for a full OS

[ajgilloh]

Different Mega link? Is there a PB autoloader? Is the post-Jan 2022 procedure for PBs same as BB10 devices? Thanks.

No, the Playbook is tied to BlackBerry's Servers.... If you ever have to reload the OS, your out of luck either way, as it will be a brick at that point.

Might as well leave it as it is...
