Connecting to Boot Rom during 4.5 upgrade
I've tried a couple of times unsucessfuly trying to upgrade to 4.5.0.77 on my 8830WE.
Each time I get to the "Connecting to boot rom portion", the phone restarts, and my computer goes hunting for a driver, but never finds the driver, thus the upgrade fails.
Anyone else had this problem? What did you do to fix it?
I'm running Windows Server 2003. I'll try it on an XP machine tomorrow.
buggered blackberry curve 8310
I've just tried upgrading my handset's firmware from 4.2 to 4.5 but gets stuck at "connecting to boot ROM" screen. The berry reboots and you see the standard hour glass spinning for a few minutes... then the aforementioned error on the desktop manager software (mine is version 4.6 on Windows 2003 server). Luckily it doesn't blow away any firmware and the device can recover (with the radio turned off).
I tried the process several times with no other apps running and even rebooted my PC (as other threads and forums have suggested) but that doesn't work either.
I've been happy with the berry for a while but I don't know about you... but I would think that upgrading device firmware should "just work"?
Can RIM please get their act together!??
Fatal Error - Connecting to Boot ROM
I am having the same issue with my vzw 8330 as described in the previous post. I'm trying to update to 4.5.0.77 but the task in progress window stalls at "connecting to boot ROM" and then eventually gives me an error that reads "A fatal error has occurred while updating your device's software. Please try again." I've tried numerous times and this is always the result. I have DM 4.7 installed with USB direct into computer (no hub).
While it says connecting to boot rom, it seems that the bberry is turning off and on, going from a black screen with the Red LED light on to an hourglass screen. Luckily it doesn't have a chance to erase all of the data yet before it screws up. Anyone have any suggestions?
