My 8230 won't pick up this os. I have tried it so many times.

If you have DM5.0 installed, you need to search the hidden files for vendor.xml. It will install a ghost copy somewhere on your PC.

I'm on v4.6.1.234 with Vzw and I've downloaded and installed the update file listed. I've deleted the vendor xml file under apploader with W vista 64bit(not sure that matters) then when I launch the DM nothing happens, go under update software it searches with no luck no updates for this device. Could I be missing something?

Thanks

I am ON Sasktel and I can't get this to load on my Berry. Am I missing something? I didn't delete the vendor file because I assumed I didn't need to.

Any one able to help with the newest download? Is it just for (Multilanguage)? DM stating no updates and the vendor xml deleted any suggestions?

[BigBadWulf]

Let's see if I can help. Yes, if it's your carrier, no need to delete the vendor.xml. If it's not your carrier, I'm guessing your using DM 5.0, so you have to search the hidden files for the ghost vendor.xml that's installed. Other than that, don't use DM for the install, use loader.exe, found here:
Program Files->Common Files->Research in Motion->Apploader

Anyone have any feedback on this yet? Improvements? Bugs?

[Nalinith]

What's new with this update?

[simons91]

I finally managed to get this onto my Flip and I've been using it for a few days now. I honestly haven't noticed any difference whatsoever. Has anyone else noticed anything?

[simons91]

Wait, now I've noticed that my custom ring tones for all callers were gone. Did a backup and they're still not there. I'm just going to readd them, anybody else notice this?

[chulew]

Nub question, sorry. Any advantage or possibility for putting this on 8220?

One difference for me is that prior to this download I was having a minor problem...when I would charge my phone the time indicated would freeze and I would have to either do a soft reset, or turn the phone off and than back on to restore the current time....with the new d/l this has not been a problem.

Nothing yet for Telus either. Still lists software package 4.6.1.422 which has device software 4.6.1.284. I hope 5.0 will be out soon...there are rumors on here that it might be in Jan 2010. Even though if that is the case why bother updating unless there's a serious issue? I guess only time will tell.

For one thing, it fixes a major bug in the previous release. Even though the phone shows "in range" there was a bug that actually told the server the phone was "out of service" and emails were held. (I fought this for 2 months until being told this last week finally, and that the new upgrade would fix it.) The only way to "wake it up" was to "send" an email from the phone, and then the server said, "oh, you're REALLY in range?" and then sent the emails that had been held. Net/net the new release fixes this particular bug. thx.

I'm running it without any noticeable problems, like other posts - I don't really see much improvement. I do like holding the menu key and having the task menu pop up. I'm pretty sure that didn't work before.

[olivr2]

wonder why they didn't fix more, I can't wait till they come out with the Pearl 3G
