- Helo every one on Crackberry forum.
This is my first thread so take it easy.
I want to Install an update on my BlackBerry 9780.
I already downloaded latest version:
6.0.0.576
But I do not know how to install this step by step.
I used the searched function and searched the forums... But I did not found how to do this!?
All I want is to install this new OS.
My version what I have now:
6.0.0.359
I use T-Mobile Netherlands.
Got the latest Desktop from BB. Latest updates etc.
Win 7 - 64 Bit.
Thanks in advance for answering.05-23-11 12:25 PMLike 0 -

Check Windows / Control Panel / Programs to verify both are correctly installed.
Open BlackBerry Desktop Manager and select Applications. If you are not prompted to do an upgrade install, there is one additional step.
Navigate to c:\programs\common files\research in motion\apploader. Scroll to the bottom and delete the file Vendor.xml. That is a security file that controls which carrier branded model get the software. Deleting it make it available to all carrier brands.hannalet likes this.05-23-11 01:15 PMLike 1 - I believe 6.0.0.576 is for the 9700, you need 6.0.0.570 which you will find here......

It's installed properly and shows up in the Windows add/remove programs manager. I've deleted vendor.xml (only I found it in C/Program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion/Apploader). Now, I try to open Blackberry Desktop Manager to install it, but it doesn't offer to do anything ... what's the next step?
