Okay so I have read countless threads on countless forums in a matter of hours on how to upgrade my OS. I am sincerely getting quite agitated with the process and would greatly appreciate it if someone or someones could be of assistance.

I read threads from a nuked or bricked phone and to be honest with you I am not sure if mine is I am assuming its not as I can still get into it.

Everytime I download an 8100 OS (4.5) and try to install it with the BB Desktop manager it says there are no updates for your device at this time. If I use the App loader through computer common file ETC... and run the setup it gets to connecting to BOOT ROM and then fails with the following error ''Unspecified error encountered [A:0x00000001]'' i do remove vendor XML file...


PLEASE HELP!

To install or upgrade your OS you should get 3 things downloaded and installed on your PC.

Desktop Manager. Get v4.6 with no media manager from here https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...93E4F3BB068C22

CrackMem from http://forums.crackberry.com/f2/crac...eleased-52044/. Please download and install it and then read the Help file. It will really help you as it has a step-by-step guide to upgrading. Make SURE that you check the box to remove Vendor.xml

The OS that you are searching for. To find the OS, look in http://forums.crackberry.com/f95/ or in the Sticky at the top of the relevant device forum on CrackBerry. You can also obtain this from your carrier from here http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support...load_sites.jsp. Remove all other OS installations from your PC.

The whole thing takes about an hour and there is a part where the phone just sits there for a looooong time doing aparently nothing. It is working though, so be patient. Do not unplug your phone from the PC until the process, including the Restore has finished.
