Its taking all of my patience to wait for RIM to re-release this update. I'd hate to resort to an outside source... And with that the possibily of screawing my BB up :(

Upgraded my new VZW 8330 to 4.5 today. Other than the Docs2Go and HTML email, I've not noticed many differences (the web browser seems faster). The upgrade was painless as all my 4.3 settings were restored including 3rd party applications. So far, so good

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

It's not as big of a jump, feature-wise from 4.3 to 4.5. Those who had 4.2 got lots of new features, including the video camera feature and others.

SoCalBBLover · 08-29-2008, 12:25 AM

HELP ME!!! Ok so I updated BB Desktop Manager to v.4.5 and deleted the vendor.xml file and then I closed and re-opened DM and it says it is looking for updates but none are found and does not prompt me to update my OS....HELP??!?!

I have redone the process 3 times now and still nothing...any suggestions??

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

Did you install the OS file in addition to the Desktop manager?

Maybe not?? Sorry I am a newbie to all of this! How do I know if I installed it or not...or how do I go about installing it....thanks so much for your patience and help!!

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

Follow the instructions in the first post exactly. You need Desktop Manager installed first. Once that is installed, then download the OS and install it (the link is in the first post.) Then delete the vendor.xml file last. Then plug in the BB and run Desktop Manager.

SoCalBBLover · 08-29-2008, 12:52 AM

When I click the link on the first page the page it takes me to only gives me the option for the Desktop Manager V4.5...am I missing something?? Where is the OS download???

(I feel like it is right in front of me and I am looking past it sorta thing)

wooch · 01:04 AM

They pulled the 4.5 OS file from the Blackberry site a couple days ago. You can try this link, not sure if its still active. If it works, simply install it on your PC, delete the vendor.xml file, and then launch Desktop Manager.

If it doesn't bring up an upgrade window automatically, double click the loader.exe that's located in the same directory as the vendor.xml file.

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

Unfortunately, we can't allow that link on the site. I don't know why MTS pulled the OS downloads.

My apologies John

MasterLu · **OS:** 4.5.0.160

of course they would pull the OS download off right when I decide to upgrade. LOL I Guess we just keep checking everyday until it is posted again.

There are dependable outside sources. It's easy to find.

You can't post any info to where Beta Software is located.

Yikes! Sorry. I knew about posting direct links. My apologies for the outside reference.

jsshapiro · **OS:** 4.5.0.102

Low and behold it's very easy to find the newest beta 4.5.0.77 which works much better than 4.5.0.66!

I think what you read is what John typed as replacement text for the link that the poster originally posted.

Got it to work Finally!!!

Now for some kick ass themes!! LOL

I'm running .77 as well. In what ways is it much better? Just curious, haven't noticed any differences here.

obeythelaw · 08-30-2008, 02:59 PM

i guess the question is how does .77 differ from .56? I'm running .56 with no problems and would be a little concerned about .77 being beta.

Same here. Well I'm actually just about to install .56. I'm curious as to how different is it compared to .77. I figure ill give it a fighting chance, I can always upgrade to .77 :p here's hoping everything goes smoothly!

SHUT DOWN the device.
REMOVE the battery.
HOLD the power button in for 10 seconds (drains residual power)
REPLACE battery

this is the ONLY way to cleanly and safely reset your bb, allowing it to gracefully finish any operations that might be accessing vram and nvram. incidentally this exact procedure is ALSO used in KB articles on the bb site, but that old one with the missing step is still out there unfortunately

Not sure if i'm reading you right, WOW haven't been here for awhile and i have some joker trying to be little me. Hey buddy, if i need your 2 cents don't bother waiting by the phone. I won't be coming to you. Have no time yo-yo's who think there mouth is bigger then my middle finger.

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

Don't worry about this guy. He seems to be a little high strung.

BlacSpawn · 09-01-2008, 11:14 PM

Now back to real deal. I have upgraded my OS to 4.5.0.77 from 4.5.0.66 and must say it runs very smooth. No issues to report (have my finger cross). Question: my docs to go which i registered from installing .66 versions, I've notice i don't have upgrade maintenance.
Even though i backed it up, i'm not able to reinstall it back in. Another option is i could re-download maintenance kit but it's telling me i have a number of free downloads. What should i do?

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

I don't know what you mean by "upgrade maintenence" but I think this is what you want:

Keep the latest DocsToGo version after an OS upgrade - BlackBerryFAQ

Thanx John, this is what i need.

Wolfee57 · 09-02-2008, 12:19 AM

Downloaded .66 last night, have VZW 8330, running great. Have not noticed any problems, followed the directions posted by John in the first post and everything went smoothly. Only took about 25 minutes total. Upgrade from 4.3 so not that much difference, like the changes to camera and player. Limited use of Doc 2 Go sort of a bummer, but what do we expect for free. All in all very happy so far.

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

What's limited about Docs To Go? Did you register and get the free upgrade?

Wolfee57 · 09-02-2008, 08:26 PM

Yes I Did that, talking about how you can use the "new" feature without the "Premium Edition"

tgotch · 09-02-2008, 10:27 PM

I can't seem to get this installed. I have followed the directions over and over to make sure I am doing it right. I am not getting prompted to install the upgrade.

The only thing out of the ordinary is that I use companionlink (3rd party) to sync Act! contacts to my address book. This automatically starts the sync process when I open DM.

Any suggestions?

LadyLucifer · **OS:** v4.5.0.77

Glad to report: after having .56 for a day I found, downloaded and updated .77 last night. I agree it is quite smooth, no problems so far, Opera Mini works (it didn't on my old 4.3 OS), and I now have documents to go, everything seems dandy :D
The only thing that really bugs me is that updating to a new OS erases all the Google Maps favorites so I've had to input them once again, the 3rd time in 2 days, hopefully I won't be changing my OS for quite some time now... here's hoping.

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

yeah, would be nice to find a way to keep GMM favorites...

tonygtime · 09-03-2008, 02:04 AM

I have the link from BB site for .82 but I can't post!

lol new to this site. :(

the links to the software can't be posted here but if you Google well you should find it as it is out there

dstaff · **OS:** 4.5.0.169

I won't post the link.. but I found a copy of 8330uAMEA_PBr4.5.0_rel101_PL3.2.0.51_A4.5.0.77 but it is only 68MB not the 72.84MB the version at the beginning of this thread lists.
Is this a legitimate copy? Did something get removed?
