    no, can't get anything to let me upgrade to 5.0, if it matters, im using DM 5.0 (not the 4.5 mentioned in all the older tutorials)

    ive tried uninstalling and then reinstalling again too but no luck

    thanks for trying though, anyone else have any ideas?

    Well DM wont let you, you have to go into the .230 files on your computer, like program files>common files> research in motion>....until you get to the app loader and use app loader to load the os onto your phone.

    ok, i opened up app loader, then found the .230 files but when i click the add button and select the file it says "this application is not compatible with your device and cannot be loaded"

    the files i'm trying to load are in the shared>loader files>9630AMEA.....5.0.0.230 directory

    that is correct. you only deleted the vendor file and not the device file right? because they are both .xlm files.

    Sounds like you have not uninstalled the old OS from your computer yet.

    You would have the stock 4.7 OS installed on your computer, that's what I was referring to. I would be surprised if you got it to work without uninstalling this OS.

    I'm gonna try downgrading the Desktop Manager, cause mine also currently 5.0. How do you downgrade it? Where can I get 4.5?

    here u go: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...93E4F3BB068C22

    select 4.5, you'll also have to uninstall 5.0 before u install 4.5, after u install 4.5 you'll have to install .230 again to your pc, then you'll restart your computer if it prompts you, then start up loader and it'll show 5.0 in that list

    Why did you have to downgrade DM? I used the latest DM to load .230 onto my Tour

    no idea why... i tried loading .230 with dm5 about 20 times and no luck. figured i'd try something new and downgrade dm to 4.5. it loaded 5.0 on the first try
