Can't Upgrade 4.7.0.75 to 5.0.0.328 or 5.0.0.419

Hopefully someone can help me out. I got an old 9530 today just to mess around with. It has no active service currently. It is running 4.7.0.75 and I would like to upgrade it to 5.0.0.328 or 5.0.0.419. I upgrade other Blackberries all the time so I don't think it is something I'm doing wrong but maybe it is.

So on my PC I only have OS 5.0.0.419 installed. No Desktop Manager. Vendor.xml file deleted. I plug the 9530 and run Loader.exe and it recognizes it but after clicking next I get the attached screen where it tells me there is no upgrade available.

I have tried Upgrading with Desktop Manager, with Loader.exe, BBSAK, with .419, with .328...No matter what i try it tells me there is no upgrade available.

Do I need an active data plan on the 9530 to upgrade? I've upgraded other BBs with no data plan.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

What's weird is that it let me install 4.7.0.148 but I can't install any if the 5.0 OS upgrades. I've tried on 3 different computers now

Have you wiped the device to 507 with bbsak first? If yes and all else fails try this:

i'm having this same problem. i even tried that "force" an OS load it's still not working for me. just wondering where did you download your OS from? i'm wondering if it's because of the os i've been downloading.

I am having the same problem. Tried the "force" directions too, and it didn't work.
I have done this so many times...trying out hybrids and leaks, it always went smooth.
Now it won't recognize that I have an os on my computer to load!

Anyone have any ideas???

Went into "add/remove programs" and uninstalled everything blackberry from my PC.
Tried again and it worked with no problems.
