Latest OS: 8900 4.6.1.353/4.6.1.231 (English + East Asian)

[JSanders]

Software For BlackBerry® Curve (TM) 8900 smartphone

BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.6.1.353 (EastAsia) plus English

Package Version: 4.6.1.353
Consisting of:

* Applications: 4.6.1.231
* Software Platform: 4.2.0.108
* File name: 8900jEastAsia_PBr4.6.1_rel353_PL4.2.0.108_A4.6.1.2 31_Hutchison.exe

Download the OS here:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=06997F04A7DB92466A2BAA6EBC8B872D

Instructions to install on ANY 8900 from ANY CARRIER.

1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.

For the previous OS:

[adie_wood]

Anyone else having trouble downloading this?

[LaoMayer]

It's working for me. I'll install it later this evening or tomorrow.

[obi1]

i'm downloading it right now...anyway, i've got a question...which is the forum where it's posted the things you don't really need on your phone, and there is a list of unnecesarry stuff...it was once a forum called ''how to get more free memory'' or something like that.cheers.

[wobly]

Check my sig. ;)
It will point you in the right direction.

[zgdanska]

looks like everything works faster. will test more next week 8-)

[UnderNewbie]

I downloaded it and installed on my laptop.
Then, run BDM to upgrade.

BDM said:
The system applications that are currently installed on your device are newer than those available with this version of the BlackBerry Device Software.
Click Options if you want to install the older applications.

I click Options,

But as you see, when I marked to choose the version installed on my laptop

What is the problem?
How to upgrade my phone's firmware?

[UnderNewbie]

Any idea?
Please don't leave alone

[bluejacket]

Did you delete the vendor.xml file?

[earpon]

I've noticed that the "Broadcast Message" option under the Blackberry Messenger is no longer is available for this software.

[UnderNewbie]

Did you delete the vendor.xml file?

Sure
I did delete it

[UnderNewbie]

I noticed that in Firewall settings now I cannot change it to Disable. It displays with a small red lock.

How to remove it? Please tell me

[The Chosen]

Wooo 3G!

Since I installed this update the 3G icon has appeared on my screen and YouTube actually works! :D

[UnderNewbie]

I already remove ITPolicy

Problem remains the same

[mimahitna]

UnderNewbie,
1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

Just folow this-do not open DM !

Greetings from Serbia.

[UnderNewbie]

Thank you for your help
I followed your steps but Loader could not run

Handheld Application Loader Wizard has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Hix hix

[UnderNewbie]

Finally I got it worked by remove battery and run Loader.
It was failed but I inserted the battery again and run Loader one more time.
Now it was ok

-----

Can someone explain for me why I did have to remove the battery?

[boxmetogo]

anything fancy with this newfirmware?

[niteqwill]

No more "broadcast message" on BB Messenger. I have waaay more memory for some reason. Nothing else that I've noticed.

[waiho]

Wooo 3G!

Since I installed this update the 3G icon has appeared on my screen and YouTube actually works! :D

3G on your 8900 Curve? Correct me if i got the wrong information from you.

Thank you.

[Garias]

Does it support Greek?

[Digital Jedi]

so I have DL it to a BES enabled device, the only thing I can tell is different is compose SMS comes straight up, so Im thinking the order of the menu is a little different??
feels a little more responsive?? erm... thats about it at the moment.
oh loading up movies seem pretty quick. really cant tell a whole lot of difference at the mo.. im sure someone will enlighten me!

did i mention the "makes me a cup of coffe app?"
oh yeah....it don't have that!

when are they going to do a version when you can edit your short cut menu for apps yourself.. ie currently n = Messenger on bb, (highly logical...!?) I want , F = Facebook
N = NOTES!!!!!

[LaoMayer]

first problem ever with a OS: I tried 2 times modifying a contact by including a birth date. Both times the phone freeze and the only solution was to pull the battery out.

[Digital Jedi]

well it only took 14 attempts to download it... UK gets 90Kbps on a good day from RIMS website... !
they do really need to sort it out!

[zgdanska]

looks like everything works faster. will test more next week 8-)

battery life is much better , and my movie files are working

[Ghibli]

Wooo 3G!

Since I installed this update the 3G icon has appeared on my screen and YouTube actually works! :D

Does 8900 hardware support 3G?

[BB8900awesome]

Does 8900 hardware support 3G?


NOPE!

[raygnlz]

so what are the new features? can anyone list them?

[niteqwill]

Battery life is MUCH better for me! So far 1.5 days and only at 50%. This looks like a keeper!

[vj_35]

Hi

I have downloaded the new OS and then followed the procedure that you click loader and delete vendor ect...but all that did was load up my applications like google apps ect and it said it was updated in 30 seconds. On the page where everything is downloaded to there are lots of small files that say loaderres1028 all the way to loaderres2070 to they have to be added into the loader?

thanks

[bluejacket]

When people say their battery life was improved, it would be helpful to know what OS they upgraded from.

[van1200]

Hello,
I live in Europe right now, and I need to upgrade my OS (to get a better battery life ... ), but there is only the East Asia version. What's the difference ? How it will affect ?

Many thanks ;)

Its just that you can load the additional languages. When upgrading, just leave the languages you dont want.

[DrMoze]

When people say their battery life was improved, it would be helpful to know what OS they upgraded from.

Or better yet, not claim this at all. How can you tell that the battery life is better within a day or 2 of installing a new OS? There are also many variables that affect battery life, including usage of various apps/functions, where your BB is (searching for signals, etc.) and the like.

Nevertheless, EVERY new OS release (beta or official) will always be accompanied by gushing reports that "everything is so much FASTER!" and battery life is "WAY BETTER!" Take these reports with a grain of salt. Aside from very early device OS upgrades, pretty much every OS I've installed shows, at best, marginal improvements in speed and/or battery life. Often there is no real discernible difference. (Sometimes connectivity or wifi/network switching seems better, though).

[niteqwill]

I am boring old fellow: I use my phone the same time each day, send the same "reply all" emails to my colleagues, use google maps or poynt to find food while traveling, play games while sitting on the can, and use the camera to take pictures of my travels. (I work for the gov't)

With that said, my battery life HAS improved. Coming from my last OS (.206), which would barely get me through the day, I'm 1.5+ days from my last charge and I'm only at 30%. So take it as you will, my personal experience is noted.

DrMoze:
Users ask for feedback on these new OS, regardless of how far fetched it is, it IS feedback. Sorry you're so butthurt.

[SilvioD]

the best feature is being able to use the menu button as a select key in the menu area.

[LaoMayer]

How?

[TXLady]

Painless update. Have not noticed anything new yet except I did not have to re-register docs to go to retain the xls (was still there after upgrade). Reloaded everything flawlessly.

The first time I upgraded my OS from the factory settings, the battery usage was massively improved, but I only noticed this as it had been previously very poor. I'd be hard-pressed to notice any change now.

[rifleman]

Form 206 to this build, the battery life is significantly improved. At the endo of the day, used to have less than 1/4 left, not I have more than half. I'd say that this build is a MUST.

[ChumsGum]

painless upgrade so far. many of my 3rd party setting like opera mini and pandora carried over while settings for bbweather and slacker did not, not a big deal

woohoo, can't wait to get the gazillion hours of battery life!

[raygnlz]

Has anyone noticed the call log is slightly different? I am longer getting the in, out, and missed call icons next to the contacts name.

[bluejacket]

Oooh, this seems to upgrade blackberry messenger and fix the myver error. The correct OS version is now displayed.

[mattyass]

Anybody else having problems opening wav attachments? I'm getting "conversion failed" after updating.

[kd78]

Anyone notice any changes with UMA/GPS reliability? Does GPS come up quickly? Does UMA handoff work pretty well in this release?

I am installing now and will post what I find on these two topics.

[wolfgaze]

What's the verdict on battery life with this release compared to .206???

[ChumsGum]

so i upgraded from the factory 114 and have to say the battery and performance increases are greatly exaggerated. standby and talktime improve slightly but battery drain heavy apps like pandora don't. it maybe a tad snappier all around but it's really not noticeable. every user is different but in my opinion, upgrading, in general, isn't worth it. wait for the official 5.0 OS update i say.

Considering I previously wasn't using any battery intensive apps, and battery was going down 80% in a day, and now it goes down about 15% I'd say it was a marked improvement. It seems strange that you'd discourage upgrading to point releases. There may be other fixes, for security or stability, or usability (like that nice holding down the menu button trick). It's a little arbitrary to say people should wait til 5.0.

[TXLady]

I still have the icons in the call log.

[SilvioD]

is anybody getting a lag when the someone calls them... my phone screen lags and i feel like i have to hit the button twice for it to register

[Starchest]

Better battery life, but now when I press the green button to get a call it takes like 2 seconds to open the call. Impressively annoying.

[jirelok]

I would have to agree with the answered call lag. It takes a couple seconds for the call status to move from "Calling" to "Connected" after pressing the green answer button. Quite annoying indeed.

[PressureDrop]

Anyone notice any changes with UMA/GPS reliability? Does GPS come up quickly? Does UMA handoff work pretty well in this release?

I am installing now and will post what I find on these two topics.I was getting dropped UMA calls about 75% of the time. I have had none since I upgraded. Battery life is a little better too (y)

[crossbearer]

Hi All,
New to thread and to blackberry. I had a Pharos M619 (Blackbrick) not your daddy's blackberry that's for sure. lol I am loving my 8900 even though it was a struggle to give up Win Mobile 6.1. However, the functionality of the blackberry has really impressed me and the form factor doesn't even compare. Downloading the upgrade now and if it improves my blackberry then I will be a real happy camper.

Update went smooth, considering I had one file from BB Messenger that wouldn't restore. Other than that I will have to put it through the test and see how it performs. So far a little slow, maybe another reboot will help.

[RadHaz75]

this is available for download on AT&T's site now as well (though i still haven't gotten mine that i was promised from their WES party)

[bryanus]

I recently updated to .206 (previous verison), and noticed that the notification volumes were much louder than before.

In fact, I couldn't hear an audible difference between a notification set to "Low" vs "Medium"; it's the same volume.

Can anyone with this update tell me if "Low" is in fact "Low" and not the same as "Medium" for say, "Classic Phone" ring tone?

My Quiet profile I use for the office is now waaay too loud!

[Godzilla07]

What are the improvements of .231 over .206? Is there improved battery life? How's UMA on this build?

[csurfr]

Looks like the AT&T 8900 shipped with this OS. . . it's on their downloads page now.

I just had a problem with my phone not starting up and "jsconyers" told me to install this OS and yes my phone is definitely faster and i have more memory. it took forever to get it to download from that site but it seems to be working well so far but its only been an hour. cheers "jsconyers"8-)

[csurfr]

No matter what I do, I can't get this to download. . . It stalls anywhere in between 26 and 33mb. . . Maybe RIM is having server issues? I'll try .239 for now and see what happens. If nothing else I guess I'll try to get .231 tomorrow. . .

[crossbearer]

Download went flawless, install went good with exception of Facebook not reinstalled. I had to make three attempts at getting Facebook on it. On my second attempt, Facebook appeared but once I rebooted it disappeared. For the last 24 hours here are some of the performance results:

Battery life- does seem better than before, that is with me running music player for about 1 hour, youtube for 30 minutes, surfing web off and on for about an hour, application use (Olive Tree, Facebook, JabpLite, Project Manager, Viigo, calender, calculator) about an hour total.

I need to do some more testing without any device to computer hookup at all and report back.

Ohk I updated early morning, and just noticed when typing in BB messenger all the preveous messages flicker everytime I type, and then while scrolling thru app world the screen flickers there too, deffinitally didn't have that problem with .206 any suggestions??

Thanks

[snoxr500]

i had read that the battery life was supposed to be better than .206 but after 11 hours of minimal use, im already at 1/3 batt life, and way too many problems with bb messenger going back to .206

[crossbearer]

Day Three of upgrade; I would consider myself just short of a power user but I do put my handhelds through constant load. Yesterday and today battery went down to 35% after about 13 to 14 hours of use. If I didn't use the web, GPS and Media Player it would probably last 24 hours with no problem. I am impressed that I have been able to listen to music for about an hour and 45 minutes today without recharging the phone. I used BB Maps, Trapter and GoodFoodNearYou throughout the day but not real heavy. I also had talk time of about 33 minutes. I would think that setting the phone at bedtime mode at 35% I would have gotten to 24 hours with no problem. For what it is worth, I haven't really owned my BB long enough to really tell the difference from the last version.

[phrider]

Hmmm. The links to the AT&T version don't seem to work for me. Anyone else have this problem?

[TXLady]

Hmmm. The links to the AT&T version don't seem to work for me. Anyone else have this problem?

Just tried both of the AT&T links posted above and get an error message as well.

However, I have the following bookmark for AT&T downloads and it works: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=577BCC914F9E55D5E4E4F82F9F00E7D4
Select the 8900 from the menus. You will then have the option to download either the Multilanguage version or the East Asia version.

[saad.nbp]

i noticed the media player is alot slower...when you play the preloaded video, it lags...

[cjgonzales1900]

so whats good about this update?

[harddude5]

After multiple tries with both links posted in this thread, I can't download this update. It partially downloads and then fails. This is nothing new though. Typical RIM inadequate servers...

[jcmtyler]

"first problem ever with a OS: I tried 2 times modifying a contact by including a birth date. Both times the phone freeze and the only solution was to pull the battery out."

I've noticed the same behavior with OS rel317 (4.6.1.206), with birthdays and anniversaries, sometimes when you change these values on a contact the phone seems to freeze for a couple of seconds, then occasionally goes to the white screen with some error code and RESET highlighted, which I then select to restart.

[civilization]

hi
does it support Arabic?

[N685EH]

I upgraded to this latest OS yesterday from factory-installed 114 (I'm pretty sure, anyway). I hadn't noticed any major issues until today when I attempted to send an MMS/picture. When I add picture, to move up in the file directory, I MUST use menu > up - just clicking on the highlighted 'up' above the sample thumbnails takes me to a completely different program (friends timeline on UberTwitter). When I use the menu and select the desired image, it says "Message content size exceeds limit". Funny that that happens with a picture I took WITH the phone. Attempting MMS through the Media app gives the same result. Anyone else having this issue or capable of offering a solution?

[Starchest]

No one else is having the call answer lag problem? Also the media player is slow as hell.

[wolfgaze]

I saw other people report it in this thread.... Just role back to .206 until a more stable release comes out.

But battery life rules D:

do u really think so?... i tried it for half a day, can it was ridiculsly worse, i find .206 to be far better for battery life

Yeah, I only got a day from .206 now I'm getting 2 full days.

Has anyone gotten youtube to work on an unlocked 8900 using Fido as service provider?

No update yet has youtube working. WHY?!?! GRR

[slmoney]

ok...I'm at my wits end on this. I have upgraded countless BB's before and NEVER had this issue. I tried to upgrade my 8900 (curently on .199) to the latest and greatest. I've installed it, deleted the vendor.xml file, rane apploader, and it will not recognize that an upgrade is available. I did a battery pull...restarted it...still nothing.

What am I missing????

Anyone have a clue?

You say you ran apploader. So was that just in DM? Have you tried bypassing DM and running loader.exe? It's in Program Files\Common Files\Research in Motion\AppLoader. Make sure DM is off when you run it. That is the only way I upgrade OS now. I have had problems upgrading with DM.

[slmoney]

I have tried both methods. Using Apploader and DM (not at the same time). I actually wiped the BB and reverted back to the native .114 OS that it came with...and STILL wont update. I'm going to try a different PC this evening to see something went crazy with my computer. ugh...thanks for the input.

[TXLady]

Maybe you want to try removing the OS completely from your computer and downloading a new copy before funning it again. I believe another troubleshooting step is to completely uninstall DM as well as the OS and reboot the computer before reloading everything. (I can't remember the exact circumstances but I had to do that once when I was having problems with an upgrade.)

I'm guessing it's not really a problem with your computer or you wouldn't have been able to install 114.

New Blackberry 8900 v5.0.0.90 (Platform 4.3.0.23)

Thats just it, I did not install .144, the DM did a complete wipe and wiped my previous os .199 and put it back to factory defaults. even wiped my contacts and everything...

I did remove the OS and all the DM software from the pc as well....

[TXLady]

I don't think resetting to factory defaults installs the previous OS, just resets all settings. And DM cannot install an OS to the phone if you don't have it on the computer.

One more vote for increased battery life.

Based on my usage, my battery would be almost drained by the end of 2 days with 206. Now its still at 50%. I have to spend more time to collect additional sample points, but initial indications are positive.

[dynamic121588]

im thinking about getting this OS but i really want to know out of all of you guys that have it how many are having a problem with the lag to answer calls and with the media lag and do you really think its worth it???

[hjacker]

I'm all upgrade guy, and I updated my former 8820 as soon as new FW was on the horizon and didn't fear the forthcoming shit in the fan(anyway, it fell into the toilet and died at last). But yesterday I got my new 8900 with .94, and now I'm so "caring" about this new piece of beauty(usually this lasts for about a week) and I'm not sure whether I should update or not.

[hjacker]

Blackberry is now officially in Ukraine, and could anybody tell me if there is Ukrainian language at last?

[duane534]

I upgraded from the "stock" 4.6.1 from T-Mobile. Battery life is dramatically improved. As is general performance. BUT, I can no longer "resend" messages. :(( There are some UI tweaks that I don't love, too, but I can deal with it for the battery life.

[absolutequiet]

Hi, I'm new to blackberry. I have .114 right now. Should i upgrade to .231?

Also, my phone can never seem to stay connected to wifi and UMA. Will upgrading fix this problem?

thanks!

[absolutequiet]

What is the most significant difference between .114 and .231?

[hjacker]

What is the most significant difference between .114 and .231?

Minor UI tweaks, increased battery life. Bugs and improvements really differ from device to device. Try it yourself, you can always revert to 84/114 if the new one ceases to function properly.8-)

[dynamic121588]

everything was good for me with the update i didnt really see a change maybe the battery was the big fix but i also didnt see any problems with the phone not answering correctly or the media player being slow but ill see after a couple of days what happens

My BB is locked to Rogers, but I have now unlocked it for Fido. Will updating my OS interfere with the fact that my phone is unlocked? Will I have to unlock it again or something? Yeah I know, I'm a newb

[NJBlackBerry]

No; once a phone is unlocked, it is always unlocked.

[spirez]

This OS seems to have more lag then when i was using .206

May try .250 and see what that's like.

this might be a non-event but TMO is releasing .231 on 7/16.

the web goes faster. You do not have to download a video to watch it. The videos are more crisp. I don't really see any other difference. I'm a novice blackberry user so im not too sure what to look for.

Blackberry is now officially in Ukraine, and could anybody tell me if there is Ukrainian language at last?

If you ever find out this is true, please let me know! :) Щиро дякую!

I recently updated to .206 (previous verison), and noticed that the notification volumes were much louder than before.

In fact, I couldn't hear an audible difference between a notification set to "Low" vs "Medium"; it's the same volume.

Can anyone with this update tell me if "Low" is in fact "Low" and not the same as "Medium" for say, "Classic Phone" ring tone?

My Quiet profile I use for the office is now waaay too loud!




If you had the Curve (83xx) series when it first came out, you would know that the volume (even on low) was pretty loud. Then future updates to OS decreased the volume.
I noticed when I first got my 8900, the volume was fairly low..but still audible at a good distance. But after the .231 update, it is without a doubt louder.

If I install this new OS- will my Javelin be able to read Chinese??
