Instructions for installing on ANY carrier's 8310:

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.

For the previous OS, see this link: http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...ilanguage.html

thanks for the heads up!

any chance of you releasing your 175/174 hybrid? i'd make it myself if there was a tutorial..but if you'd be so kind..please, i'd appreciate it tons

militia, we don't make hybrids. We only post official carrier releases.

Ahh, I wasn't familiar with the site's policy regarding that, thanks for clearing it up =]
I'm already installing this release, cant wait!

with a storm2 on pre-order i cant decide whether to get home tonight and download this or just to sail on as im going with 4.5.0.163

which, by the way is dropping memory like a seive

Upgraded fine, now to see how it runs. Any suggestions on anything different or just bug fixes?

well
I bricked it and lost some apps
lost my version 5 bbm along with the contacts in there.

shame really

How would I go about installing this on a Mac? I haven't updated my 8310 since I made the switch to Mac.

Still has a memory leak, lost 3M since upgrade. And as i had yesterday off it's use was less than normal.

Same here... :(

You cant update it on a Mac.
Have to use the Desktop Manager which is PC only.


EDIT: well finally after all this time it seems RIM finally released the Mac version of Desktop Manager just this week it looks like.
So there ya go, as long as its the same as the PC version, you can just follow the directions and guides posted here.
I gotta go grab this now been waiting for over a year for some Blackberry love for the Mac!!

I cant download the file though because RIM is retarded. They say that Internet Explorer is required to download the file.

I'm from Bangladesh. my Mobile Phone Provider is GrameenPhone. if i Update this Os, is it Support the Netword of Grameenphone? Can i used it? Pls give me a suggestion.

Wow. I really don't know how I managed to fool RIM into believing that my Firefox browser is actually IE when downloading software from their site. And that's without changing the user agent string or using ietabs. You might want to try that download again.

Are you on Windows though? I have a Mac and use Safari. I tried Firefox but it still doesn't work.

I bricked my 8310 after upgrading. Now, only 507 with circle is shown.

Hello,
After Upgrading the BB software with 4.5.0.294/4.5.0.174 (Multilanguage) following the instructions here, Ymess, Maps and Browser dissapeared. Help me to bring them back please.
Thanks in advance

no eastasian? :<

Any real good reasons to update from 4.5.0.110 to the ...294? Phone works great as is. Just wondering if they introduced any new features that would make the switch worth the effort.

Anyone noticed that with both .163 and .174 the connections go off all the time without reason? I have many dropped calls too

Well, i have updated to this from 4.2 and my bb keeps restarting it's really annoying ill try to install it again

I understand these downloads may be generic and work with any carrier but is there an easy way to find out if a specific carrier, like AT&T in my case, has suggested an upgrade for my device?

Hi, I am noobs, am using 8310, i would like to upgrade the OS but it seem everybody had problems with the new OS, is there somebody who really succeed in upgrading the OS using these version?

hi,
my attempt to update my 8310 software and remove an IT policy has made the bb undetected by my pc and i cant seem to proceed with anything now. i tried installing the os update without deleting the vendor file. it failed to update 2 times and gave me the 507 error. i tried it a third time and it gave me the 507 error again but also now when i connect it to my computer is it not detected at all by the computer or bb manager. please help!
thanks

Thanks for share update firmware.
