BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.6.0.373
(Contains English)
This OS will load to ANY carrier's 9000 model by following the instructions below.

Package Version: 4.6.0.373
Consisting of:

* Applications: 4.6.0.221
* Software Platform: 4.0.0.186
* File name: 9000jEastAsia_PBr4.6.0_rel373_PL4.0.0.186_A4.6.0.2 21_Orange_UK.exe
* File size: 97.25MB

Download the English and East Asian language OS file here (from Orange UK):
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...223C61B1B5AB89

Download the English and Multilanguage OS file here (from Orange France):
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...A5DFF913DF997A

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.

just updated my OS few days ago to v. 4.6.0.216
any differences with the new OS?? anyone??

thanks

Has anyone tried it ? Any issues?


Thanks

I have tried installing the new firmware on Vista x64, and I get .msi errors.

Anyone else have this problem?

Pretty much the same, no bugs to report yet.

IS THIS CONTAIN Arabic Language ?????
please

Sorry just a novice .....if i want to download an English version to work on AT&T ...which file do I download.

Also, how do I activate without re-requesting enterprise activation from my IT dept.

Thanks!

I've installed it and it work's pretty much like my 190. Nothing bad to report so far but I've only been using .221 for about 6 hours so far

It contains korean, chinese, japanese, dutch, english and 2 others I forget now.

Does not have Arabic

Hey everyone,
For those who tried the upgrade, is BES re-activation required like .216?
Cheers,

Hello guys, i'm going to get my unlocked Bold in couple of minutes.I don't know yet what OS version it's on it....but in case of an update (using this release here), will it lock it again (never happened before .... but i'm affraid to run tests on my bold)

Regards,
Andrei

Andrei don't think if you do the upgrade it would lock it for you

Hi
I get a problem I run .216 and i uninstall the .216 from the computer and install .221 and when I run loader.exe it say nothing to upgrade I have erased the vendor.xml fil to .

try to delete everything from
c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
and then re-install .221 and try again. Check to verify that the data has been populated in this directory and remove vendor .xml

I get this error now
Input lang.
No file for dk nor sv it is missing files.
net.rim.platform.lang.sv
I can only REMOVE

Works just as well as .216. Works better than the later betas released, i.e. 224, 234 (no media bug, no wallpaper bug, no large font bug).

What about Live Search??

Yes, anytime you upgrade the device, a BES reactivation is required; unless you upgrade using a PC that is on the same network as the BES server and the Desktop Manager was installed using the BES option.

I just checked the link and now it also has the multilanguage version!!!!!

Works 100% ! Thanks !

great OS. best so far...

Could you say why? Notes on improvements or fixed bugs would help ;)

well, just as i went to respond to your inquiry, the phone reset during a call. havent had that happen since .185, so i retract my previous statement.

I found it this support dk/no/sv
9000M_PBr4.6.0_rel373_PL4.0.0.186_A4.6.0.221_Orang e_UK.exe

So far, this seems to be the most solid build I've experienced since .185...

I have been romancing the idea of loading the new .237 beta...but I think I'll stay put here until AT&T does an official release that includes visual voicemail. Then I'll be moved to update again...

The original post has been updated now to include a Multilanguage version of the OS which includes more European languages.
From Orange France.

Upgrade went without a hitch and handheld runs OK. moodio works well only via Wi-fi and not AT&T 3G (go figure).
No issues so far in two days and I hope it'll remain that way.

works well, had to reactivate as usual.
