- HELP!
I am trying to upgrade my 9000 to OS 4.6.0.451.
Using XP's Add/Remove Programs, I have uninstalled all previous OS from the computer.
I have followed the Upgrade/Downgrade proceedures exactly from the link on Crackberry.com.
I'm using DM 4.7. After I brick the Bold (on purpose), I have used both the "Add/Remove Applications" and the "Update Software" choices in the Application Loader Tab, with the following results:
- "Add/Remove Applications" does load in an OS from scratch. However, when I go to the "About" screen, it shows OS 4.6.0.167. I believe is should be either be OS 4.6.0.451 or 4.6.0.266.
- "Update Software" will not load an OS - Phone stays bricked - but shows several OS available:
__ Blackberry 4.6.0.451 for 9000 - Version 4.6.0.266
_X_Blackberry 4.6 (Prefered) - Version 4.6.0.167
__ Blackberry 4.6 (Downgrade) - Version 4.6.0.167
and then, once I click on the top selection (4.6.0.451), this shows up:
"No software update is required for your device."
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!06-18-09 01:09 PMLike 0 - best tip ever.. use DM 4.6 cuz 4.7 has a lot of issues. i wasnt able to upgrade to .266 with 4.7. once i used 4.6 it was a breeze. its not just u, i've had to recommend 4.6 to a few friends for the same reason.
ohh and btw when ur quoting a os version, like how u said you're tryign ot upgrade to 4.6.0.451, ure suppose to use the applications #. so you should've just said ure trying ot upgrade to 4.6.0.266.

Follow these two guides:

You will need CrackMem, which you can get HERE. The instructions for CrackMem can be found HERE.
Be sure to take your time and follow the instructions carefully.
