Hi!

I've got a BB8700 with an OS 4.1.0.351 on it. I've tried to upgrade it to the newest OS 4.5.0.110. I also have upgraded my DM for 4.6 version. When I connect my BB it says there is no available software. What am I doing wrong?

Did you delete the vendor.xml file? Instructions in my signature for proper upgrade/downgrade.

Thank you. It works properly now.

Not a problem. Glad its working for you.

Will this work with the VZW 8703e?
Thanks in advance.

I dont think this will work for your 8703. Your device is cdma and the 8700 is gsm.

strange...i tried it again using Vista this time and was able to get it loaded. Very cool...thanks.

is there any specific desktop software to use with this update? (like i know the newest version is required).

I used the wrong desktop software before, and i lost everything on my bb, and it was a huge hassle, but i backed up before, so that helped.

But, I have the 4.6, is there a newer desktop software that I need to install this update?

Thanks!

ok, well, it worked with DM 4.6. So, no worries!!! what are the perks of this new os? Cause my web browser would work right before... any thing related? or will this possibly fix that?

i was running 4.5.0.80? maybe...

thanks.

getting it now

不错 下来试试吧 呵呵

I am curious if this will work with the 8700c, and will this allow me to add ringtones on it?

Disregard my last post, I went ahead and downloaded the OS and everything works great. Thanks for the info

Do you have to use the OS from your carrier?
For example I'm with Rogers and the latest listed is v4.2.1.163
If my phone is unlocked can I use OS from any carrier?
Thanks

Please tell me what I did wrong:
I have Verizon BB 8703e with 4.2.1 OS

-- downloaded v4.5.0.152 from the link
-- downloaded Desktop Mangaer v4.7 from the Verizon website
-- installed v.4.5 OS (I did not have any other OS installed before on my PC)
-- installed the Desktop Manger
-- removed vendor.xml file
-- connected BB to PC
-- started the Manager (it went through the sync) and stopped
-- selected Aplication Loader
-- selected Update SW
I got the Message "No software update is required for your device"

Thank you.

For this 4.5 firmware can anyone verify the use of the "Enter key" in the dial application. When in the call log window and you type the name of a contact that has more than one entry, use the thumb wheel to select the name in the preview window (at the bottom) and then scroll to the first number in the list and try dialling using the enter key. My enter key "down arrows" and selects the next in the list - is this how it should work because my 4.2.1.101 and all other previous firmwares don't down arrow here they "select" the entry.

Disconnect your internet, either disable it or unplug your network cable, then select update software.
Once it find it you can enable your internet or plug the cord back in.

I downloaded the OS to the computer and opened desktop manager, went into application loader, tried searching for the update but it didn't detect it. I have an unlocked 8700g, I tried disabling the internet, I did delete the Vendor file...I don't know what else to do.

its not going to work because you're trying to install a GSM os to a CDMA phone.
someone correct me if i'm wrong please

OK, by re-installing evrything a couple of times I was able to get to the point where the Desktop Manager showed that I have OS 4.5 available to install. So, when I selected "next"
I got the message:

XInvalid configuration
The application "Blackberry 4.5.0 Core Applications" cannot be loded because some required files are not available"

I think based on my additional research this s/w is not going to work on CDMA phones
