Default Bmm 5.0 On 8320 Curve - 07-21-2009, 11:00 PM

Hello! first time posting here!

So i was trying to install the new BBM 5.0 and it seems that it doesnt work on my 8320 Curve with 4.5.0.55 OS. Plus the BBM icon dissapeared first, and then i installed the old BBM and i lost all my contacts… why can i do? It’s impossible to still have the new BBM on my phone?

please help, and thanks!
btw my Carrier is Movistar ( Venezuela ) and these are the only OS's available :

Pearl 8100
v4.2.0.64 / v4.5.0.55

Pearl 8110
v4.3.0.93 / v4.5.0.55

Pearl 8120
v4.3.0.91 / v4.5.0.55

Curve 8300
v4.2.2.146 / v4.5.0.55

Curve 8310
v4.2.2.146 / v4.5.0.55

Curve 8320
v4.2.2.161 / v4.5.0.55

Bold 9000

Welcome to the forums.

That is a pretty old version of 4.5. You can install other versions of 4.5. They don't need to be released by Movistar.

Follow these steps to upgrade to 4.5.0.162:

And then try installing BBM again, either version 4.5 or 5.0.

It should have Spanish as well. You will see the options in AppLoader.

Yes, Spanish is included.

The reason the EastAsia is specifically identified is the character sets are very different than latin based characters.

What do you mean by you did the setup? Once you've downloaded and install the OS on your PC, then follow the steps in the link I provided above to install it onto your device.

Sounds like you did not delete the vendor.xml file as mentioned in the FAQ's here.
