Device in question: 8820
Issue: Previous version was 4.2 software on device. Device was dropped in water but still functional though but I know it's out of warranty. Tried to update to OS 4.5 and it was successful but as soon as I rolled the trackball it would freeze up. I'd reboot and same thing all over again.
Aggravated**
Reloaded OS4.5 2 more times, same issue.
Pissed**
Upgraded DM to v4.6, tried 2 times and same issue. Upgraded DM to v4.7 same issue.
Very Freaking Annoyed and glad I use the iPhone***
If i DOWNGRADE back to 4.2 the phone works fine. I had another BB 8800 and an 8820 sitting in the drawer collecting dust just in case my iPhone broke they would hold me down for a day or two.
Anyway thanks to the wonderful world of Blackberry and them thinking people actually have hours to spend fixing their software glitched phones I spent another 3 hours trying those steps on these phones and same issue hpapened.
I downloaded the OS from AT&T's download site AND Blackberry's download site. I covered all areas so there's possibly nothing you guys could tell me to do. I was NOT backing up the phone in the process but rather wiping them because I have nothing on those phones.
I was probing more and I noticed that all 3 phones are MADE IN MEXICO.
I'm guessing that something wasn't done right and those phones can't support the already glitched software BB offers.
Interestingly enough I downloaded OS4.5 from other CARRIERS such as vodafone, etc and it's able to download and not freeze up. How come? I thought the OS's on BB's site aren't carrier specific so why didn't it work when I downloaded it on it.
Again I have 3 phones that have failed. I threw one 8820 out the window and it shattered in pieces. That leads me to these last 2 (8800&8820)
I'm traveling to Barcelona and would like to bring the Blackberry instead of my iPhone in case I lose it down there. I'd much rather lose a BB instead.
I believe that it's an issue with BB's made in Mexico based on my trials. It's NOT a device issue because the issue can be duplicated and HARDWARE on a BB shouldn't prohibit an OS from being installed on it especially when it was made for it. What are you guys take?
