HELPPP.....i just tried updating my BB 8320 with the File name: 8320EastAsia_PBr4.5.0_rel52_PL2.7.0.55_A4.5.0.37_V odafone_Dialog_(Sri_Lanka).exe

now my BB refuses to come up and it's keeps blinking a red (danger) light at the top. Can someone please tell me what to do. The PC is not recognising the BB again and desktop manager wont connect to it also. JL_Cmder also is not connecting so I cannot wipe the BB.

So far I have had no problems with my T-Mob version, I've had it installed for a month now. I just posted the links above this post.

nj4x4fever.....are you still online here. Please i'm having some problems with my bb 8320 and i need some help...

Usually if you're getting a blank screen (not white, but no activity at all) plus the red indicator light flashing (2 flashes, longer pause, 2 flashes, pause), its not likely to be saveable. Best to do is try any of the ways to try to trigger jl_cmdr to work and try to wipe it. Also try a different usb port or computer.

But you can also try to open Desktop Manager and keep plugging it in and trying to catch it if it momentarily recognizes the phone. Start DM, go to the application loader and start it up. Select the add/remove applications and it'll ask which device. Then try to plug and unplug the phone and hopefully the phone will show. If you can get it to show you should be able to try to install the OS.

I've only seen one person post about being able to recover theirs from this status. Good luck.

You are damn right Monkeypaw. That's exactly what my BB is doing. What OS do you think is the best to load at this point? Please advise and send me a link for the OS that will make my bb stable. It's really frrustrating. I have wiped and reloaded 3 times already and it doesnt seem to stop.

New here. upgrading right now very excited

Might want to try 4.2 then.

Anyone know of a firmware upgrade to the verizon 8830?

[quote=monkeypaw;1013668]Might want to try 4.2 then.



Thank you for the link Monkeypaw.....now there is a new situation. I noticed whenever my BB is plugged to my PC with the USB cable, it works fine for as long as it is plugged in but once i remove cable or shutdown PC, my BB also goes off. Any solution for this??

Also, my SIM got fried yesterday and now I am scared of putting another SIM in BB. Does anyone know whether it will fry anyother sim used on it??

Hello JC....my BB will only work as long as it is connected to my PC. Once i disconnet BB or power down PC, BB stops working and reboots often. What might be the cause of this?

Does it work if you use the regular AC charger? I mean not the usb cable. I'm wondering if there's some kind of electrical issue where it's losing power from the battery momentarily. Maybe the battery, maybe the phone.

Is this happening with the sim and sd cards in there? If so, try it without either and see if that changes things.

If none of that seems to be the problem, then I hope you can warranty exchange it.

Nice post, can anyone else verify this info? Push email for Hotmail? Can it be?!?!
And I can finally start dloading and viewing videos of any practical usage?
How about a fix for playing AAC files?

Please forgive me if this is a dumb question, but is there any reason older language packs (chinese) might not work with this?

I wonder if that's what a condemned man says right before they drop the trap door. This thread is a hoot. The same guys who are thrilled to be "upgrading" on one page of this thread are begging for help to restore their original OS two or three pages later.

The rest of us were too thrilled to even post that we were thrilled. I'm extremely glad I upgraded. I tried .42, .44, .46, and .52. Only .46 caused problems. .37 I didn't touch because I was so late in hearing about it and there was that SIM card frying thing.

Mine's stable which is good because giving up some of the new features would be tough.

I plan to upgrade OS 4.5.0.52 this weekend. Is it safe to install? What are the risks?

Shona, please read my posts. For me just a waste, I will wait for a more stable program such as "the official release."

I love OS 4.5 but for some reason I cannot seem to use the wi-fi to surf the internet. I have a feeling its due to the fact I have a T-Mobile phone but I have it unlocked and running AT&T on it. Any ideas?

Just to clarify, this thread including the first post is about 4.5.0.37. The package version happens to be 4.5.0.52 which is confusing. But in the Options > About screen it should show 4.5.0.37 if installed.

The .52 I've referred to is a different version talked about in the Beta You than Me forum.

The prior version 4.2.2.184 was in package 4.2.2.338 so was less confusing.

Took the risk and upgraded. The upgrade was smooth. Took about 30 mins. I'll post back after a couple hours of playing around with it

Yes, please let us know how is it going? Is Wifi working very well?

Upgrade went great. Everything is working fine (videos, youtube, wi-fi, internet, text, phone). Glad I upgraded.

any problems with UMA or wi-fi? i realllly want to upgrade to new OS.

Please everyone thats done the upgrade give us some feedback on how it went and any glitches you might have noticed. I'm pretty sure im gonna do it, anyone have reasons not to?

Dude...welcome to the forums.

Did you read the first post? Did you read the rest of this thread? It's full of the answers you are looking for.

ok im doing this right now. lets cross our fingers

yes ive read the thread(and many other threads about upgrading the OS), im looking for any/all input from everyone thats tried this. i understand theres a risk, but it appears that was mostly with earlier releases. do you think this is a bad idea for me?

i see you are tmo with a 8320, have you upgraded?

EDIT: my profile is wrong, i have an 8320 not 8330

It should be fine. If not just re-load old OS. Goodluck!

Also, he already answered that question in this thread. Just letting you know

thank you all for the quick responses, its good to see others with the upgraded OS on Tmo, it gives me hope for my dream of viewing youtube on my curve download is %43 complete

I am just a bit cautious and am making a mental list of OS upgrade failures and successes on this forum and the crackberry forum. so far, this release looks promising, especially since i dont do the myfaves thing. again, thanks!

No problem. This might be a glitch, but youtube only works for me when it is on Wi-Fi, which isnt a problem for me. I'm either at my house (with wi-fi) or at my college (with wi-fi).

hmmm interesting, that shouldnt be a problem with me for the same reason, lol. although i thought i recalled people saying almost the opposite, about the internet only working well when disconnected from wi-fi. i think they may have been European users tho...

also, any luck with streaming internet radio?

%66

My internet works fine, just the media player gives me an error when trying to load a video. But if I'm on wi-fi it plays the video just fine.

wicked,
ok so a review of procedures:
I already backed up my bb

Im going to finish d/ling the file then run the OS on my PC

then delete the vendor.xml file

then run the app installer using the latest desktop manager

missing anything??

%94!!
