Hi i posted this in another thread but didnt get a reply. I am trying to upgrade my OS from 4.2 to 4.5 but am having trouble. I dont know if its my computer or the file itself. i dont have a dm. Do i need to download desktop manager before the Os upgrade? so confused...

[SofaKingKev]

you should so you can do a manual backup before the upgrade.

this link will take you to dm 4.6 download. pick the one with out the media manager and follow the prompts to install.

[SofaKingKev]

actually it just takes you to the place where you pick which version you want.. choose the 4th one down 4.6 desktop software

once finished with the DM install, read this thread and then put your plan into action to get the OS upgrade

ok thanx. im gonna try it but since my computer is slow it might take a while. I will give an update

[bb_chick99]

the link didnt work

[SofaKingKev]

which link?

[SofaKingKev]

i just tried both of them and they both work

[bb_chick99]

this is what i got:
You've entered this page in error because you have the incorrect link.

Please make sure that you have the correct link to download BlackBerry software.

If you have any questions, please contact the webmaster.

[SofaKingKev]

you are doing it from your PC right?
at what point does it say that?

[bb_chick99]

yes from my computer

[SofaKingKev]

you want the option that says blackberry curve(TM) 8320 smartphone.. then press next, and pick the top one to download. you will have to fill out your information and then save the file.

[bb_chick99]

i click on it and a page comes up with blackberry on the upper left hand corner and that message

[SofaKingKev]

try rebooting your comp and try it again.. the link works fine..

[bb_chick99]

ok i will try it. does it matter that im on dial up

[xliderider]

ok i will try it. does it matter that im on dial up

It'll take forever to download the OS on dial-up. Do you have a friend or relative with a high-speed internet connection that you can use?

[SofaKingKev]

that may be the reason its not letting her get to the page.. bbchick, did you end up getting the desktop software? did that work?

[bb_chick99]

Link is still not working??? is there another way to get to the page

[xliderider]

Like I said, it is near impossible to download an 80+ MB OS file using dial-up. This is pointless unless you can get access to a high-speed internet connection or PC.

[SofaKingKev]

i looked on the tmo-blackberry page, and it only has the 4.2 OS.. so, check through the crackberry thread to see if there is a mirror link that might work for you.. or as xlide said, if you have a friend with a pc that has high speed internet, i would definately go that route. it will take about an hour and a half with high speed internet, and im guessing it would take twice that with dial-up anyway.. maybe even 3 or 4 times that.. if even possible..

[bb_chick99]

ok i was hoping to do it from here. ill try it on a hi speed connection. thanx for the help anyway
