This particular version was known to damage sim cards on the TMobile 8320 requiring the sim to be replaced during beta testing. Also, this version was known to not support UMA on many TMobile 8320's. TMobile users load at your own risk.

*Note: Also, on all devices it's a good idea to make a backup of your media card before loading OS 4.5. Constant reboots can occur when using media cards formatted in OS 4.2 or 4.3 in OS 4.5. Then reformat the media card in OS 4.5 and restore your data.

*Note: While in Application Loader be sure and check to boxes to add Documents To Go to your device. Failure to install Documents To Go will cause java errors in some 3rd party apps.

Can't get to the link.

EDIT: The link goes to the Vodafone site, but doesn't have the 4.5 version for the 8320. The link goes to the 4.2 version.

Great find! Moved to it's own thread and made a sticky.

Link works for me.

And me.

The link worked for me.

UMA never worked for me and many others with this version.

Just DL it, the site might be over run now cuz I tried going back and it errors?

Well so much for the BGR report and OS 4.5 being released in September... which i find hilarious because its ALREADY out.

I am using beta 4.5.0.44 with no major issues on my T-Mobile 8320. Was that version also causing issues like this one is said to be?

Dave

This is really just .37 - so if any have put on .46, its going backwards

ANY of the betas can cause unforeseen consequences to your device. You are using at your own risk. .37 fried SIMs for TMO users, but i do not believe others have.

The link I posted earlier is taking me back to 4.2

This one still works:

Got it. I will stick to the one that is working for me for the time being.

I knew hoping for a Euro variant first was just asking for too much, le sigh.

Hello all,

I've been looking for the latest version of BB OS 4.5 for my T-Mobile 8320, but I'm hesitant to download it, as every site I find it on clearly warns users, especially T-Mo users, that it could severely mess up your device. Can anybody confirm that this software--the software from this exact link--works on a T-Mo BlackBerry Curve 8320? Specifically, I want to make sure UMA works.

Also, the software says something about "Dialogue Sri Lanka." What's that all about?

Thanks for your help.

AZA

As a T-mobile user, you should avoid this OS like it was the plague.
This OS version has been knows to kill SIM cards in T-Mo devices and I believe UMA has also been problematic.

Yeah, that's what I keep hearing. I'm just hoping some different version will be found that isn't so rough on us T-Mo folks.

Thanks, though.

AZA

will this be ok to use on a 8320 on the O2 network in the UK?

thanks alot

Ian

As the first post states, it will work on any carriers 8320. Notes at the bottom are for Tmo users.

Ill wait for a few guinea pigs to try it out before I do LOL

any reports on this yet?

I'm now looking for almost 20 min and I will give up.

How do I upgrade to the new os.

I have desktop manager 4.3 installed.
I have v4.2.2.180 installed on my BB
8320

Can somebody help me on this one.

Follow the instructions in the first post of this thread.

it doesnt prompted to upgrade.

Perform step #3 and try again.

I did #3 a few times.
But this time I did the install again of 4.5 and did # again and now it's working.
I see you have TMobile so I guess you have a TMo device right. No complains right?
I have a TMo device also because I bought mine in the US.

thanks for the help.

btw It looks like the phone is off is that normal the Erasing Applications is still going in the program?

That's normal. Leave it be. After it erases it will reload the OS. Then it will reboot and sit with the hourglass for 20-30 minutes. Just let it go. When it's done it will restore your data.

Cool thanks for your help.
Now It's the waiting and I will go to bed have to wake up @ 6 o´clock

Thanks again. and I will post when I wake up how wonderfull my 4.5 is.

Greets.

*fingers crossed*

JC. are you loading this release??

No. UMA doesn't work on this release (for most) and it fried a lot of sim cards a month or two ago when it first leaked out.

what are the chances that those issues were corrected, and how do we know if they still exsist being everyone is staying away from this release.

It's the same version. If they had fixed anything that would be another version number.

then i dont understand, why release something thats not working correctly.

That's a good question. Vodafone doesn't have UMA so it works fine for them. It didn't fry their sim cards either. However, TMo users had damaged sim cards and no UMA. You can try it if you like.

because it wasnt released for tmobile. and i may be wrong but carriers in sri lanka dont use uma???
so it does work correctly......for who it was intended for

There are a few other bugs. The browser has a bug when entering text...It's just a buggy release.

JC

is there a better beta then that you would recommend??

thanks alot

Ian

Aye Caramba! I am on a T-Mob 8320 and this is the WORST 4.5 they could have released! .18 was better for for me! I am running .42, which is generally fine, but I would like to be running a "legit" OS. I would go back a bit, but not to this. I will patiently await another legit 4.5, and stop chasing Betas. I promise.

Note to T Mobile 8320 users- this is the exact same OS that killed two of my SIM cards.

Does anyone know off hand how prevalent UMA is outside of T-Mobile? Do other carriers in or out of the USA use it?
