I downloaded the blackberry desktop software to check for updates for my device only I decided to test the downgrade feature as I heard a certain bug wasnt prominant so now i have version 4.6.1.286

just since I downgraded I decided to reupgrade and want to return to 5.0.0.681 which was what it came with but when i click to install it it says its only available to people with active an active blackberry subscription???

One other thing of note is when I did downgrade it it I got a notification saying "you must activate this device wirelessly to continue to send and receive emails and use other services, if so how do you do that?

The 5.0.0.681 version looks so much smoother and would really want it back, can anyone help me????????

You need a BB data plan.

Officially yes

after a bit of research and a certain tool I now fixed it no date plan required
