    help !!!
    I downloaded the software to my desktop, connected the BB and loaded Desktop Manager and I get nothing

    after you download the software, u need to install the software on your PC
    after that, delete the vendor.xml file

    after that, launch DM (strongly recommend 4.6) on your PC

    plug in your device

    No hangs for me but I seem to get the "unsupported video" error a lot now. Skipping forward a few seconds seems to cure it though.

    I'm with Rogers which still has .162 and I've followed all the instructions step by step deleting the vendor.xml and every time it says that there is no update for my phone. I tried it with DM 4.7 then I tried it with DM 4.6 then I tried using the loader.exe and they all tell me the same thing. There is no update! WTF WHYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?

    I had a problem installing 4.6.0.216. I had installed it fine and then bricked the phone, it was stuck on 167 and wouldn't upgrade, I tried a bunch of different stuff nothing worked.

    Today I got it! I went to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader and saw a file named Loader.exe. I double clicked on that one and it worked! So give that a try as well.

    Sorry, I missed this post before I asked for help. My bad.

    I went about launching the upgrade as mentioned above and now it is underway. Just be sure to delete the 'Vendor.xml' file that is located in this folder before launching 'Loader.exe'. Should work without a problem!

    similar to upgrading. download .228
    uninstall .234 from your desktop
    install .228 on your desktop
    proceed with the usual upgrading process

    I believe the WLS issue is a known issue for any OS above .185 (at least I think that was the last known OS it worked on). Not sure about "where."

    I have been running this OS for 3 weeks without any issues at all. Browser seems to work better and faster. Memory was running at 28 - 32 and now its consistent at 52. I would suggest this OS to those wanting to upgrade. Remember upgrade your OS at your own risk.

    I've spent quite a bit of time reading these forums about upgrading. I just bought my Bold a few weeks ago, with the .167 OS. I have read alot about the .210, .215 os upgrades and wonder just where these can be found. When I go on the BB site all I am offered is the .167. I did reload that in hopes of improving things and caused myself a bit of heartache when I lost some of the Apps that came with the phone. I figured that out and everything is close to "as it was" except I am missing one icon...but I don't know what it is. Anyways, is there a site I can go to find these OS upgrades? such as the .210 and .215? Thanks y'all, this is a great site!!

    Cool, thanks...looking for something to help the battery life and maybe the reception, otherwise I'm loving my BB

    the reception and the battery life should improve
    i should also inform you that there is a reported media player bug on .215

    not present on .210 or .216
    i used both and can say that they are real stable

    I've just got my Bold for a little over a week. This is the best phone I ever got overall.

    I tried to update the OS to .216 in the middle of the night, but got the following message:
    -Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
    -Uncaught exception: java.lang.Error
    -Uncaught exception: ApplicationRegistry.waitFor(0x7491f7b6ae80681a)tim eout

    I clicked ok a few times then the messages goes away. Is it something that needs to be fixed or I shouldn't have any problems?

    Update: I removed the battery and replace it after a few minutes (like a windows restart). No error message.

    What does upgrading the OS do anyways? What differences does it give and can it mess anything up??
