hi sander i cant run the upgrade for my bb8320 i dont understand the process, appreciatte you explain me thank a lot

The instructions are quite clear in the first post.

1. Install Desktop manager.
2. Install OS
3. Delete vendor.xml
4. connect BB to PC
5. Run Desktop Manager. It should prompt you to upgrade.

We got that part, but for some of us that doesnt work

That's all there is to it. There are no more instructions to give. Are you sure the vendor.xml file is deleted?

Worked for me. As John stated, just follow the instructions.

JSanders, awesome upgrade; thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Not to be brass but the key part there is SHOULD and for us it does not. I have installed Desktop software 4.6, I am using a Sprint Curve 8320. I installed the file after downloading. It ask at the end do I want to run desktop manager to check. So I am sure I am doing it correctly, I say finish w/o checking the desktop manager, delete the vendor file. Plug in my blackberry and it connects it even looks for application updates for a second. Then nothing happens. I have uninstalled reinstalled a few times.
I even went to the website and the application loader said i was up to date, and I am still stuck on 4.3.
This seems like one of those things like when a bb contact is pending and wont go through. Unsolvable as of now huh?
Maybe user error but with directions this simple I have really tried several times before actually posting my problem.

Not to be brass either but if you have sprint you don't have an 8320. You have an 8330. You're in the wrong sticky. This OS will not work on an 8330.

thanx god i dont know how to do the kneeling one but thanx god

thanx John! user error, thats why i gave as much details as possible, i knew youd find the stupidity. thanx

All,
I tried to load new OS 4.5 using Desktop Manager 4.6 after deleting Vendor.XML , but when the loader tries to load into boot ROM, BB resetts and window does not detect the device. Finally app loader gives a message "fatal error...".
Do you know what do I need to correct this problem?

Thank you.

I got it..., i shut down the power (not full power). then every thing work fine.

I wound up needing a new Blackberry after playing around with 4.5. I started getting all kinds of weird inabilities to make calls. T-mobile replaced my SIM card twice, which seemed to work for about a week or so until suddenly I kept getting "Call Failed". I also couldn't send text messages when this happened (they produced a "retry count exceeded" error).

T-mobile replace my Blackberry under warranty. I've had it for a little less than a year. I had loaded a previous version of 4.5, then downgraded to 4.2, then to the Australian 4.5, then to the Rogers 4.5. Then I downgraded to 4.2 before sending it back to T-mobile.

I'm going to wait until T-mobile releases 4.5. I'll miss my HTML email until then. :(

Been using it on my Tmo 8320 for months. Works very well with TMobile.

Upgraded my T-Mo 8320 to this version. All has gone great except that after moving my icons around and moving some into newly created sub-folders, I lost the changes when I rebooted.

I haven't seen this problem mentioned. Anyone else experiencing this? Suggestions??

Its actually been mentioned many times. It seems to be a problem with the Today themes. Try a different theme. That being said, I've never had the issue so not exactly sure what causes it. Some have used theme files from older (4.5.0.18) OS's.

Thanks John for the speedy reply. I will try a different theme and see if that helps.

.81 works perfectly for me as well on my T-Mo 8320. I actually use the O2 Today theme by unlocking it in the blackberry.alx file and have never had trouble with it in the latest beta releases.

I am still trying to decide if I want to try .93 out or not, .81 has just been working so well for me.

has anyone else noticed (4.5.0.81) that in the messages that you only have 'delete' or 'cancel'. on 4.5.0.52, i had 'delete on mailbox & handheld', 'delete on handheld', and 'cancel'. what's up with that?

Check the reconciliation settings - sounds like you have it set to delete only on the handheld or the mailbox. You seem to want it to prompt you for where to delete.

yep, that was it. that must have reset with the upgrade.

hey guys i have 8320 which is from USA and i want to use it in UK but its not unlocked any idea how can i get it unlocked pleaseeeeeeeeeeee............ Thanks

With 4.2, I couldn't use my Jawbone 2 at all on my 8320 while UMA was on. I had to switch to EDGE only for the J2 to work properly with the 8320. 4.5 has improved greatly on my BT problem. I can receive calls in UMA with my J2 on, but still can't place a call. It's annoying, but not a crucial issue for me. I just keep my 8320 on EDGE only when I want to use my J2. I never had any this trouble with other BT headsets.

Otherwise, I like 4.5 a lot. The only minor gripe I have is that my 8320 constantly reverts back to the original T-Mobile Jingle ringtone. I can't figure out why. It's a nuisance to keep reloading my CTU ringer.

Does anybody have a problem with their phone freezing up? I upgraded the to 4.5.0.81 last night & i noticed it would freeze occasionally during startup. Like it would show that its verifying security software & freeze up. It also froze up everytime i would go & try to change my wallpaper and when i restored my data. I had no problems upgrading the os but when i tried to downgrade back to 4.2, same thing. I dont know if i did something wrong but it just seemed really unstable to me. I used dm 4.2 sp2 if that matters.

This question may belong elsewhere (in which case, please tell me; I'm new), but since I upgraded my TMo 8320 from 4.2 to now two different iterations of 4.5 (currently 4.5.0.108/4.5.0.81), I've found my ability to view PDFs attached to e-mail isn't what it used to be. Under 4.2, I had the option to zoom & enhance. Now I can zoom but the enhance option seems to have disappeared. Could this be a BES issue (that hasn't been upgraded)? Am I missing some setting that somehow got reset with the upgrade?

Any help would be appreciated.

Ignore my PDF viewing question. I found another thread that discusses it.

So, I have successfully upgraded my t-mobile 8320 to the latest OS. Thanks everyone for their feedback and instruction; reading all of your posts make the transition very easy!

Now to my question, I have a 8 gb media card in my 8320. It worked great before the upgrade (4.2 before). Now I installed 4.6 DM and upgraded my OS to 4.5.0.81, the phone will only recognize the card as a 4gb instead of 8gb. Has anyone else experience this problem as well? I did the battery-pull and reset and nothing resolved this issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Once before I had the problem of the upgrade file not installing the new files to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader folder.

Not sure why the 8320.msi is not unpacking the files. I just end up with a windows installer menu text with the following information along with an OK button.

I just got my T-Mo Curve yesterday. I am going to attempt this upgrade tonight...in case I have an issue could someone direct me to the correct method for downgrading should I need to?

Thank you. It's been about 2 years or so since I had a BB...finally got tired of the WinMo platform ticking me off all day long with it's constant lockups.

Hi, Im trying to upgrade my OS from 4.2.2.180. I followed the instructions to no avail. Im somewhat of a BB newb, but I do have the 9000, and was able to upgrade that software with no problem. When I connect the 8320 to the device manager, the application list does not populate. Yet, when I plug in my 9000, the application list populates. Any ideas?

Just finished the upgrade. Went pretty flawlessly. I did seem to lose the preloaded MyFavs icons and backgrounds though...anyone know how to get those back?

wed..............

Can I do this upgrade using DM 4.2.2.14?

Which language do I go with? Multilanguage or English (I'm a TMo user in USA)


For those that have upgraded to this 4.5 version, how is the battery life? I had upgraded to 4.5 (maybe .55 but not sure) and the battery would die in a matter of a few hours. I downgraded because of it. Just wondered if 4.5.081 fixed the battery life issue.

Thanks.

Scrap that...there was just a really looooong time before the second reboot. Now I have all the icons I had before plus about 20 additional ones

All less than 24 hours of owning the phone...LOL!

Being trying for hours now to get new OS to work, still nothing. Im using a TMo 8320; OS 4.2.2.180. I did a wipe handheld, then downloaded the OS. Deleted the vendor.xml ran DM and nothing popped up, then DM flashed white for a sec as if it were gonna prompt the update, but nothing. I did the same steps on upgrading my 9000 and it went flawless. Im running DM 4.6. Im not very familiar with the 8320, but when I connect it via USB it shows the white connection screen then goes back to the home screen, is that normal? On the 9000, I get asked if I want to use mass storage mode. Any help would be appreciated.

I just downgraded to DM 4.2.2, still nothing. It just seems that there may be a problem with the device communicating with the PC, I set all the permissions to "Allow" on the unit, and Ive done a wipe handheld, can anyone please add any insight?

Also, when I check the software version thru DM, it shows that I have the 4.5 OS Installed, im really stuck here...

I'm running v4.5.0.81 w/ a 8320 on T-Mobile's network. It seems to randomly go to lowercase edge or lowercase uma at times. if i use the browser w/ the lowercase connection it will take a few extra seconds, jump back to uppercase and work normally again. also toggling the wirless off and on will reconnect to uppercase.

I am having major issues with my phone dropping calls. Is anyone else having this issue?

This was fixed with Rel_123 (.93) If you upgrade you shouldn't experience those problems. ;)

Hello i just recently tried to upgrade to .81 but i wasn't paying attn and i believe i deleted all the apps from my phone and i am getting the 507 code. The DM is not reading the BB. Anyone have this issue?
