4.5.0.77 trouble

[lonewolfman]

I loaded .77 onto my VZW 8830, now it keeps hanging on boot up at the "Verifying Security Software" guage. I can't get past this to wipe my device or downgrade and DM doesn't recognize it. Anyone with any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

I think you will have to pull the battery and plug into your computer then run the loader.exe to try an reload the OS.. Or you the JL_CMD (I don't think that's what it's called.

I was able to successfully load up 4.5.0.77 on one of my spare 8830's this AM.

Rather than re-add ringtones, wallpaper and the themes that I wanted after the fact, I decided to setup everything I'd need pre-load.

I renamed the 4.5.0.51/Java net_rim_bb_medialoader_qualcom.cod > net_rim_b_medialoader_8830.cod and moved it to the 4.5.0.77/Java folder before the initial load.

I moved the white Vodafone today theme from a 4.2.x.x/Java folder to 4.5.0.77/Java (for some reason only the green is included with the 4.5.x.x releases) and edited blackberry.alx to load it:

Original:

<fileset series="8800" Colour="True" Java="1.0">
<files>
net_rim_theme_120_green_320x240_b.cod
</files>
</fileset>


Edited:

<fileset series="8800" Colour="True" Java="1.0">
<files>
net_rim_theme_120_green_320x240_b.cod
net_rim_theme_120_today_320x240_b.cod
</files>
</fileset>


I also added the default wallpapers, by dropping the .cod file that is zipped up in John Clark's post into 4.5.0.77\java and editing blackberry.alx to load it:

Before:

<!-- Custom Folder icons -->
<fileset series="8300|8700|8800">
<files>
net_rim_bb_medialoader_folders_320x240_b.cod
</files>
</fileset>


After:

<!-- Custom Folder icons -->
<fileset series="8300|8700|8800">
<files>
net_rim_bb_medialoader_folders_320x240_b.cod
net_rim_bb_medialoader_320x240_b.cob
</files>
</fileset>


I do have a few questions though.

Does 'installing' the OS to your PC do anything other than create the c:\program files\common files\research in motion\shared\loader files\<version # here> directory and copy the files there? The reason that I ask is that I'd love to just be able to zip up ..\loader files\<version#> and bring it from PC to PC to avoid re-doing all of the manual changes.

I've enterprise activated, but HTML email still isn't available. From some other posts that I've seen, i think I might have to plan a BES update this weekend. I'm running 4.1.4.26 - does anyone know what the minimum version requirement is to support HTML BES Email?

Edit: Just spoke w/ TSupport, and BES needs to be 4.1.5.x or greater to support HTML BES Email.

Edit #2: m.youtube.com works via the Internet Browser (we've got youtube.com blocked internally, otherwise I suspect it would also work via Blackberry Browser)

Once I get BES updated & this test device working, I think I'm going to take the plunge and run 4.5.0.77 on my own handheld. I've been putting it thru the paces all morning, and it seems pretty stable.

Steve086, thanks. I did pull the battery and plug into my pc. But loader.exe can't find the device and run either.

Try this: What to do next if Jl Cmder will not connect and wipe - BlackBerryFAQ (http://blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_to_do_next_if_Jl_Cmder_will_not_connect_and_wipe)

Be patient, it may take multiple attempts before it connects. Good luck!

Thanks, gang. I kept trying and it did wipe. Appreciate the save.
