Package Version: 4.6.1.456
Consisting of:

• Applications: 4.6.1.310
• Software Platform: 4.2.0.127
• File name: 8900M_PBr4.6.1_rel456_PL4.2.0.127_A4.6.1.310_AVEA. exe

Instructions to install on ANY 8900 from ANY 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.

Installed a couple of days ago - working fine.

sweet, perfect timing since I want to downgrade from 5.0

If you install this can you read and input in korean language?

thanks.

sensemt, you'll need an OS with the words "EastAsian" in the file name to get the Korean language.

wow I just updated mine to 4.6.1.298 -what changes are we seeing?

Update went smoothly. Seems to be working OK.

uhhh, how did you know I was korean?????

Hi,

The previous version (298) didn´t create an Add/Remove item in the Windows Control Panel.

Will try this.

i haven't updated in a while... does this os fix the lag that happens when you answer/ignore a call?

Does anyone know if there's a way to extract this to the mac blackberry app?

Just upgraded now I don't have the BBM code scanner anymore...

?????

I do

Thanks that helps a lot. :-/

I just downloaded the BBM 5.0 which has the feature.

Just so we're clear, I've tried searching for this but I guess my "mojo" is off. I couldn't find anything. I'm tring to upgrade but everytime I double click on apploader, it says "no action required". I also tried it through Desktop Manager to no avail. I deleted the vendor file before trying both methods and I see the OS under the Loader Files folder. What am I missing?

Dear Sir

man that was fast!

I've installed the EastAsian one and now my version is4.6.1.310 (Platform 4.2.0.127) but I still cannot type nor read korean.

I drew out CJK file from the java folder and tried to upload it using AppLoader, but it said it's not supported for this phone...

can someone tell me what the hack is going on? I'm so upset

:(

I looked in Options. Advanced Options. Wireless Update and was told "No Updates Available". My current version is 4.6.1.168

Sometimes these threads give us a little glimpse of what customer service reps have to deal with on a daily basis.

I am always have a little more empathy for them after reading these.

The new OS is still running good for me.

That's a tad pompous isn't it? Were you always an expert or did you have to ask someone else like the rest of us?

That's because your carrier has not released this update, that's what you get with a "wireless update"--only that which your carrier has released.

If you read the initial post in this thread, you'll see how to apply this to ANY 8900 device, regardless of carrier.

I don't see you helping out ol' "Kokab" up there now, do I?

I think the guy you were replying to was just joking about that specific commentor...

can i dl this os and still keep bbm 4.7 and threaded texts? or is it not supported

i DLed and installed this latest OS, but have a few questions.

When I go to "about" on my phone, why am I only upgraded to 4.6.1.310 and Platform 4.2.0.127?
I thought the NEW OS version offered in this link is 4.6.1.456 Platform 4.6.1.310?

Thanks

ok, thanks for clearing that up!

I did, and I have now updated it.

Thanks.

Nor shall you - I too am a novice and have come here to seek help not to give it. If and when I think I can help I will do so - until then I will read and learn and ask questions of those better informed than I.

Been running since the 14th, seems better all around. Time will tell.

Have been running this for 4 days now. Have noticed slightly better reception, however number of dropped calls have also increased slightly.

How does that work? Better reception means less drops, doesn't it?

wat is upgrading ur OS going to do to ur phone? is it gonna make it smoother working? faster? better looking?

sry for these questions im new to bb
i would appreciate it if someone could give me detail on wat im about to do and how it helps my phone, thanks

I have been using it for a few days now and everything seems to be a bit snappier not as much lag.

Vodafone UK has released this version also!

ok im in the desktop manager and im in the apploader section and im in the updating part... it shows my current one and the downgrade one...

y cant i find the new OS i installed on my computer?
idk where to find the vendor thing and delete it i have no idea how to find that. is that wats cause the problem?

I seriously would not advise you to upgrade at this time until you are more comfortable with the process. It is not urgent that you upgrade right now.

Have you done the backup of the device yet?

aight im good...i installed it well but no visual changes to me w.e its ok its probably better i just cant see it

i just have 1 question though...after i upgraded it, now when im typing there is a box on the top right corner that says EN..im guessing that means english. is there any way to turn that off? it gets kind of annoying..or do i have to downgrade to take that away?

Great, congrats, I knew those directions would be good.

You very likely have something other than english set as your default language... look at options > language and set each to the same English.

naa all my options are set to English (united states) any other suggestions? its really bothering me lol
