    Do a search here on CB for upgrading OS. The full instructions have been posted before. Just hit the Search tab, upper right.

    As noted above, you need to read, understand and FOLLOW all the instructions.

    Go to the threads STICKIED at the TOP of this Curve forum section and follow those instructions.

    It's not going to if it's not an official version. You have numerous options to choose from. You should do a bit more research before you commit. There are hybrid OS's. You can download other carriers OS's and delete the vendor files before installing. All in all you should get familiar with the whole process and advantages of the different choices before you wipe your current OS and get stuck halfway. There are things you definitely do not want to do. And once you start your going to be committed with no way back.

    Did you delete the vendor.xml file?

    And as noted above, are you using the correct OS for your device?

    dont install stock 5.0 on your device its to much for it to handle

    you need a hybrid. go to Nathanix Blackberry Resource - Home of the Hybrids and do get their hybrid it works like a charm and also has great instructions for how to download and install everything.

    its what i have running and its honestly waaaay better and faster then the original. check it out if you want a good performing phone.

    You can't get 5.0 then, as far as I know.

    Wow. Totally NOT a "new app". But it will definitely give you "chat style" SMS.

    CrunchSMS is not a new app, but it is probably the best option for folks who want threaded SMS and have devices that cannot run 5.0 OSes.

    No. Your device does not have enough memory to run 5.0. You will not get it.
