does anyone know what to do ? Im trying to install .266 on a BB9000 BOLD and Im getting an error during install, at the point of "connecting to boot ROM" it disconnects/connects usb connection a few times, then phone restarts, phone has .167, this is my first time upgrading an os, PLEASE HELP !!!
I have never had so many errors when trying to install 266, I don't understand it. But I finally got it after uninstalling the desktop software and putting it back then loading it going through the app loader screen not the desktop manager way. As well, I deleted the vendor file... Try that... Search the forums too, there are a ton of threads about what different things people have done.
i'm guessing that you're using a PC with Windows 7 installed
if that is the case use a PC with either XP or Vista installed and your problem will be resolved
um....why would you assume hes using Windows 7?
because i'm a genius LMFAO...
because i just might have had experience with windows 7 and upgrading a BB
Im actually using a mac w/parallels w/xp pro
aaargh you just had to complicate it . :)
get on a PC and do it BBs and macs dont play nice for obvious reasons
way to go genius!!!
theres alot of things that could mess up an OS install. i would try reinstalling the OS again in windows, restart the computer and try again. sounds like the USB drivers were getting messed up and causing you to lose connection. i was having the same issues after i unbranded, my usb cable was recognizing my phone. it took a reboot of the computer to make it work again.
ok, I have a pc also, I'll try it on that, with fingers crossed, I've actually tried all of the above except on an actual pc, i hope it works
It Worked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
