PS: Is there a way to upgrade an os without losing the way I located apps in folders before upgrading? It's so annoying when I have to create folders again and put apps in there again.10-01-12 09:57 AMLike 0 -

What method do you ise to upgrade? No separate wipe is necessary. Follow upgrade guide on Page 1 in post #6.10-01-12 10:24 AMLike 0 -
Follow upgrade guide on Page 1 in post #6. Loader will wipe device during OS loading process.
Separate makes some extra work for you. Doesn't hurt to do that once in a while, but certainly not required every time.
BBSAK will work, as will BBMCP.
I can't remember if BBHTool can do a wipe too. Not at my PC, so I'll check later.10-01-12 10:28 AMLike 0 - Phill_UKCrackBerry Wiseguylang007 likes this.10-01-12 03:40 PMLike 1

Hmm. I always do a complete wipe when I upgrade an OS. Nice to start fresh and clear out all the app remnants, log files, cache, etc. Plus in the previous OS I had some minor issues with the backlight brightening and dimming randomly and my proximity sensor goes haywire sometimes and keeps flashing. No biggie. The backlight thing is still happening with the new .694 but too soon to tell on the proximity sensor issue.10-01-12 11:22 PMLike 0 - So far I noticed at least a 10-15% improvement in battery life after installing .694. I never had an issue with memory leaks unless I installed a bad app. Although App World still leaks big time for me.10-01-12 11:26 PMLike 0
- I tried to upgrade but something isn't working
I uninstalled the old os version on my pc, installed the new one and when i install it on my BB it will still load the old os version -.-"
Can someone help?10-02-12 03:47 AMLike 0 -
You can make a Backup with DM first, but then close it.
To load OS to BB, double-click file called Loader in AppLoader folder where you found (first) Vendor file.
Loader will backup your info & apps, wipe device, load new OS, then restore your info & apps.10-02-12 11:08 AMLike 0 - thank you so much I only deleter 1 vendor file (the one in the same folder as "Loader")
I'll try install the new OS later.
Thanks again

And there's also Vendelete, a program that only does that.10-02-12 12:10 PMLike 0 -

I tried to upgrade all my apps but some are showing up in app world as uninstalled. I can't tell if there is an upgrade for them or not.Last edited by catberryday; 10-03-12 at 01:37 AM.
10-03-12 01:34 AMLike 0 - I've waited for many, many months for an official ATT release because of the mic issue with other carriers' releases. So it finally hits and it flat out stinks. . . . it's like 4 upgrades back in terms of battery life, bugginess and is perhaps the worst browsing experience ever with my 9900. Good Old ATT -- they might not be fast but at least they get it wrong when they finally get to it. I'm having spontaneous reboots and freezes. Honestly, this may be the worst OS I've ever had on the 9900. I hate to go back and have to delete the latest official release. I suppose I could do a wipe and reinstall. But will that help?10-03-12 11:20 AMLike 0
