Im trying to upload the new os 5.0.0.411 but my desktop wont recognize the the upgrade and I cant even do it thorugh the app loader even after i delete the vendor file...Is there any other way I can go about this?...Im desperate to get away from this os 4
Try installing with BBSAK.
Run a search for any hidden vendor.xml files on your PC, including the recycle bin. And if you're using 4.7 or higher for DM, disconnect from the internet. Personally, I prefer 4.6 DM myself.
Follow the directions (exactly) on Post #1 of http://forums.crackberry.com/f100/ne...2/#post4448643... it says to use the Loader.exe, NOT DM!!!
Yeh you should use the app loader... go to:
c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and it should be there!
I didn't suggest he use DM, but 4.7/5.0 will have an effect on how loader.exe functions, will always be a PITA when connected to the web, and 5.0 will install a ghost vendor.xml that unless removed will make upgrading impossible.
Sorry to jump in. Am I to assume 4.6 DM will work fine with Device OS 5.0. I always thought it would, but not sure.

Absolutely! It's what I used to install mine.

Wow... here is a novel concept... try it and see if it works.... if it does not then use the Loader.exe like most every expert here on CB recommends.
Maybe I'm not making myself clear enough. I use DM4.6 as a base. Without a DM installed, there is no loader.exe to install the OS. You can see how I install here:
Fatboy, you may be a genius of genius', but your bedside manners lack smarts.

4.6 will work fine. I must not be expert enough to know better than to use 4.6 DM once in a while. :(

Thanks BigBadWulf

Thanks to you too exelant,

fatboy,
I always use loader.exe. That wasn't my question, sorry if I asked it poorly. I just wanted to know if DM 4.6 worked with 5.0 in regards to backups, syncs etc. Not as expert as you, but why experiment blindly when one has so many more experienced users to glean info from. :)

I understood, but I speak Wulfanese, and can comprehend gobblygook. I think fatboy was having an off moment, he's usually more helpful, less wiseguy.
That's cool, I don't understand myself half the time. I have done a fair amount with my BB's over the years, but not frequently enough to remember what I did 2 years ago or stay up on the troubleshooting procedures. I will try 5.0, but probably wait a month. CBW is slow at upgrading their official OS's. :)
