I have a Sprint 8330 and i'e been trying to upgrade to OS: v4.5.0.89 for the past 2 days and for some reason nothing works.
I've installed and uninstalled and reinstalled DM 4.6 and 4.7. and uninstalled and reinstalled the OS 4.5 over and over again and nothing happens when i plug in my blackberry. It just says that there's nothing to upgrade.
Ive been having the same problem i delete the vendor file and nothin ive tried 4 different dm and nothin i would appreciate the help. dont know if this helps but im using vista
ok. so here is what i did. i installed dm restarted the pc then installed the os removed the vendor file and restarted his pc. i started dm then connected my phone. didnt prompt ugrade so i go to app loader nothin then i go to upgrade and nothin. any help would be appreciated...
side note i didnt find the 4.5.0.97 a link would be helpful. thanks
Ok, Install the newest DM, then once that is all installed right then open the download for the OS .97 and go through the install YOU MUST INSTALL IT ON YOU PC, once that is done, go in a delete the vendor.xml file, where elelant said it was. Then open the DM and if it doesn't pop up click the app loader, if still nothing go though crackmem.
ok i did notice something after the 20th time of trying this. if i dont delete the vendor file dm shows an update but if i delete it dm shows no update. what would happen if i keep the vendor file?
im not new to the blackberry process. and im work fairly well with computers. But for some reason when i tried to load .89 my computer froze during the loading of the jvm files. I bricked the phone. Tried the whole battery pull reload... computer froze. got new phone reloaded everything. backed my software up. tried to reload software and comp froze.running xp. And yes I deleted the vendor file. Please help.

Ok, let me see if I understand this, You tried to load .89 to you phone, didn't work and you bricked your phone, then you got a new phone, tried it again and it did the same thing?
That could be a bad download, I was trying to download a beta a long time ago and it was a bad download.
Also, make sure the OS is the correct OS for the model of you phone. (Sure you did, just have to say it. )
It the phone is dead now, try the "how to recover a dead berry" link in my sig, if you try it a few times and still have the same problem, I'd uninstall the OS through your add and remove programs, then download a different OS or you original and give it a go.
i downloaded dm and the update from blackberrys website. on the second phone i just tried to reload my memory from the bricked phone and it froze while reloading but did not brick. so should i download from somewhere else? Should I try .91 or just see if i can back up first.
Hmm.. You may try uninstalling the DM and re-downloading and installing it. I've never had the DM freeze on me, so I'm not sure what to tell you, but If the reload didn't work from the recovering a dead berry, you may want to try a different OS. (This is what I had to do. When I had the beta that wouldn't install)
