Newbie here, but I am the tinkering kind. I am good with computers and phones [I work for Verizon] and since the 8830 I have now is only temporary I wanna try to upgrade to the latest OS. Which can I install on this device?
You can find 4.5.0.77 for the 8830 WE. I've been using it on Sprint 8830 WE for the past 7 weeks.
It does take up more of the BB memory, tho, so you may need to dump some unused apps in order to keep it stable.
I've tried to update to the 4.5 OS from my Sprint 8830 WE and it's saying I already have the latest software, but it's not reflecting that in my settings. Any help/suggestions?
I deleted my copy of device manager on my machine and downloaded the 4.5.0.77 version from here. (sorry... too many rules, just google 4.5.0.77 as the poster below said).
After it was done installing it asked if I wanted to load the application loader and I went for it. It is updating my phone to 4.5 as we speak.
In fact almost done, on step 10 of 11!
Edit: P.S. It worked perfectly with many more multimedia updates.

Reason: inappropriate beta link
DO NOT POST ANY BETA LINKS. Board rules to keep them in good graces with RIM. You can however mention google my screen name and 4.5.0.77 and you will find what you are looking for.
bminucci, I would suggest editing your post so a moderator does not have to do it for you.

dude, i go to your blog for all my 4.5 needs. plus the music is awesome.
Dave, my advice would be preserve the backup it did of your data, download crackmem from Pete6, follow the details of how to wipe your device, then reload fresh, then reload your data. PM me if you need some more help....
