Instructions for installing on ANY 8320 (regardless of carrier)


1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.

Umm...is it me entering a state of Deja Moo or is the version number and application number the same as the one that has been out for a week or so from Australia?
Is it an updated post due to the multilanguage or something?

Deja No.

Same release, multilanguage and from Rogers, first North American release of OS 4.5 for the 8320.

Got it!
Trackin' like a TOW missile!
:D

(hint: the initial post points to both the English + East Asian version, and the Multilanguage versions of the OS)

JSanders, don't scare me like that! I was wondering where in Sam Hill the couple hundred posts for the 8320 4.5.0.108/4.5.0.81 went! :P

Upgraded from .69 last night. Is it jus me or has anyone else noticed better resolution on their display?

This build has been the best for me...well I used the other one but I'm sitting at 23 mb of free memory when I was at 19 using .69

One thing I noticed about this build is the stability. I am running with 6mb free and would not have known if I did check. It appears to be the most solid build yet.

I'm using the version from Australia, and there's still a memory leak. But a lot of the problems I was experiencing with earlier builds seem to have gone away. Specifically, the "EDGE" indicator stays at "EDGE" instead of "edge" or "GSM" at random intervals. The memory leak isn't nearly as bad. My phone doesn't drop calls left and right like it did.

All in all, good. I'm unsure if it's worth updating to the Rogers version from the Australian one.

I have an 8320 from T-mobile USA.

Isn't the Rogers and Australian versions the exact OS's? Why upgrade...

Hmmm...I might actually attempt to upgrade this time around!!!

i followed the instructions, but i'm not getting the option to upgrade. when i try to so it manuallly, it says no upgrades found for my device. can i upgrade by double clicking the file to install? btw it a 8320 v4.2.xxx with tmobile.

thanks

You would regret not upgrading.

I am presuming that you downloaded the file, double clicked it and ran the executable. Then, followed the instructions in the first post.

yes, i tried that too, but its not giving me the upgrade option

You deleted the vendor.xml file and then ran Desktop Manager with your Curve 8320 attached.
After it syncs, it will take a few seconds, but it should give you the option to upgrade your OS.

yes, i deleted vendor.xml and it replaced it with one dated 09/16/08. i did a repair, so no i have a white screen with two phones (i guess) on it. still no option to upgrade. when i run the apploader manually, should i browse to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader?

thanks

No...you don't replace the vendor.xml...you only delete it.
The vendor.xml file tells the program what phone it should be working on. Delete the vendor.xml file and it will work on any Curve 8320 from any carrier.

when i delete the file the software is putting back on my pc.

Install the software
then delete Vendor.xml
then run Desktop manager and plug your BB in.

No replacing it. No deleting it before you install the software. Just follow the instructions exactly as they are spelled out:

ok, i see what the problem is. some how i was putting step 3 before 2. ok, will try again.
on last thing, should my phone be in mass storage mode for this?

thanks.

ok, working just like the instructions now.

thanks.

all set. the new look is great.

thanks again

I'm still having Bluetooth and UMA problems with this build. When on my Jawbone and when my Curve goes from EDGE to UMA when making a phone call, I get the Call Failed on my screen. Plus the memory leak is horrible and battery life sucks. I want to try either the .85 build or the .93.

this release works flawlessly for me.

i currently don't use BT, because the one i was using had too much static. what is UMA, sorry i'm new to BB?

UMA--Unlicensed Mobile Access

Very Newb question I am sure, But what does this upgrade actually fix/improve from say, (my current) 2.5.0.40 platform and app version 4.2.2.184?

Adds some features (you tube) and faster OS

thank you, ill put aside some time for an upgrade then :D

There's much more...video camera, html email, improved browser, new fonts, better wifi compatibility, UMA/Bluetooth compatibility, and much more.

(directed to no one in particular)

Purely for knowledge's sake, I attempted to "cross-grade" between these two releases and there are no differences in any of the COD files (for English US) between the two - all are identical. Just so we can put this issue to rest on a factual basis.

rivvie, I wish we could highlight your post in yellow or something.

Just be prepared to answer the question again.

I have a BIG problem with the current release. I'm around Madison, Wisconsin on T-Mobile, where they roam on a local carrier named Einstein Wireless. All I get is lowercase edge on my phone with no data access. I'm going back down to 4.22.180 until they resolve this. I need my data access around Madison.

I installed the new OS a few days ago on my T-Mobile 8320. Basically I get an hourglass every few seconds for no apparent reason and my battery lasts only a few hours on full charge due to the constant loading.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I agree, I was actually answering/making a point to the post above mine who had the australia version who was upgrading to Rogers.

are the ring tones and audio levels still half as quiet as the original curve os? i need to be able to hear my phone ringing i cant understand why every new build is still low on the audio.

4.5 is a little bit lower than 4.2. However, I've not found it to be much of an issue.

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I searched for an answer for the last day and haven't come up with anything.

I upgraded to the Rogers 4.5.0.81 two days ago and the OS is great, but for some reason I can't get any of the messenger services to work. Yahoo, MSN, Google Talk, and AIM. They all try to connect but don't seem to be accessing the T-Mobile data network. I'm also running into the same problem with Viigo. Every time I go to check a feed, It wants to me login, and it verifies me but won't download any of the feeds Im following. Ive added the wap.voicestream.net setting in the TCP area of advanced settings and redownloaded all the apps just to be safe. There has to be something Im missing. Either that or Im a little slow and there is a post somewhere around here saying the apps arent compatible with 4.5 yet. lol. HELP!!

Oh yeah, Im using an 8320 from T-Mobile with BIS.
