I just use CrackMem for OS updates. This way you manually select the one
that you want.

I had the same problem. Easily fixed.

Back up your data files and your third party apps.


Check that you've removed 5.0.0.xxx from your computer via the Add-Remove programs in the Control panel.

Then check again that the Vendor.XML file is gone.

Make sure you didn't just download, but you also installed 4.6.xxx.

Then, in the same folder as the where the vendor.xml file was, you'll find the apploader application. Plug your BB into the computer and start apploader.

It should load the 4.6.xxx OS from that point just as if you were doing it from the DM.
