i have tried going to application loader -> update in DM and it wasnt there (no updates are available), i tried to use the loader.exe and it wasnt showing there, im on vodaphone in the uk so i deleted the vendor.xml, still nothing. i uninstalled both the update and the DM and reinstalled them both to default locations on the c: drive. and i made sure my network cable was unplugged so i wanst on the internet.

has anyone had any issues like this and got it fixed? i really want to get .109 on my phone now and cant get my head around why it doesnt seem to be showing anywhere on my pc!

Be SURE to disconnect from the 'net before you try the update. Once it's installed on your computer (click the .exe file FIRST to install it completely, THEN do the update using DM), be sure to disconnect so the system does not look for official updates. Should be fine from there. Is your system able to access wireless internet? If so, you need to be sure to block that temporarily.

i couldn't have done it without these instructions. Thanks!!!!!

I have been avoiding this for a long time, but all went well. Thanks for the instructon's.:)

Not sure if this has been asked before but...
desktop manager will not recognize my 9530, the only way i can get it to connect is through bluetooth, is it safe to update my OS this way?

My computer does recognize that I plugged my BB into it but desktop manager wont for some reason, I've tried everything i can think of but it still says "device not found"
any help is much appreciated.

sounds like you didn't install the driver

I recently had my storm replaced and wanted to update my new one. So, I downloaded the .exe, ran it, disconnected the internet and tried updated via DM and .109 still isn't in the update list. With the internet disconnected it says there are no updates for the phone. I had no problems updating my old one (even with the internet in). Anyone have any idea?

hey i have a question.

can i directly update my OS from .75 to .109 without updating it first to .103 or .106?

my storm is 9530 btw, can anyone help me on how to update this thing? im really new in using blackberry and upgrading it.

yes you can
follow the instructions on the 1st page and you'll be fine

ok i need some help please. i've been through these forums for the last 4 hours. I love and hate my storm,, love the phone hate the lagg and resets. I am running 4.7.075 and want to go to 109. I've tried but i can't get it to show up in dm list. All my other ones are there. I've tried disconnecting internet and when i do that i just get no update avail.
I"m so close to throwing this thing out the window. This is my 1st bb and i see potential but Screw Verizon for releasing such a buggy phone. Coming off a Win mobile device i'm not impressed. At least i could sync my freaking calandar and contacts over the air free. I do love the texting on the BB much better which i do a ton of so i am really trying to stick it out Help Plz!!!!

Installed .109. Works great except after battery pull I get the following message:"Uncought Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException". Any ideas why?

A few things here that I can't seem to get right. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

I DL .109 and it is showing on my Add/Remove Programs screen. However, it won't see it on the update screen. I have disabled Automatic Updates from DM, and even removed and reinstalled DM, but it still won't show up on the list (.65 and .75 are showing). I also have done the disconnecting from the internet trick as well, but to no avail.

I have also tried loading it from App Loader. It doesn't show up there either, just MySpace, Facebook, Google Maps, etc.

I also tried Loader.exe and it asks for .alx files and There is a listing of files, but none with the OS.

Any ideas?

Pm, PIN me I would like to find out what problems are.
