Yes App Switcher from the Menu Key Hold is still in the OS.

KNIGHTRIDER · 08-24-2009, 08:51 PM

hi,
if i want to use desktop manager to upgrade and keep bbm 5.0 what should i do? thanks.

Shaun · **OS:** 4.6.0.297

Note: Backup your contact list to your Media Card.

You need to swap the BBM 5.0 files out for the 4.6 files that come with the .297 build, then run the installer as usual.

-Or- Upgrade as usual, then find a BBM 5.0 OTA link.

Questions:

If you're not worried about BBM 5.0, and if you can use Crackmem to get rid of extra themes, etc., what are the advantages, if any of using an OTA update? Will it preserve all the settings of the 3rd party apps?

I realize you have to re-update Docs to Go Premium with an OTA update. Even with a manual update you have to first delete the DTG alx file. But if you first do an app save via an aborted switch-Blackberry update, and have an alx file and the java cods for DTG, would that get the Premium DTG back again?

IOW, is it really more efficient to do an OTA update if you prepare first and use Crackmem later?

MDBold · 08-24-2009, 10:59 PM

When updating an OS via OTA does it restore all of your settings and messages automatically?

MDBold · 08-24-2009, 11:03 PM

how can I backup my Bold using a mac?

miamirulz29 · **OS:** 4.6.0.304

Damn, 12:08 AM Eastern Time, download still isn't up.

fonejunkie · **OS:** 4.6.0.301

are you for real?

CSO · 08-25-2009, 12:53 AM

what is BBM 5.0? BB Manager or BB messenger?

Also, what all this mean about avoiding DTG Premium from installing? I want standard DTG as I have now. Please explain.

thanks

swifty2happy · **OS:** 4.6.0.266

Shadoe · **OS:** 4.6.0.282

Hello,
For the Blackberry users in Germany, I think the link will be Active at the start of business west coast time. That means for us, wait till tonight (we are at least six hours ahead).

I wish T-mobile would do some cool releases.
The actuall T-Mobile software always comes way later....

I gonna Update with the Att Version over the Destktop Manager. the OTA Update ist still to tricky for me...

I can't live without my Bold!

the OS is up but i am unable to do OTA because I guess my bold is an unlocked phone and i dont have the "Wireless update" in options

plus i have a MAC and have to wait next week for the release of DM !!!! Rim needs to step it up a notch but i am glad they are finally releasing DM to MAC
and for that person questioning wat is BBM 5 it is the latest trendiest messaging on BBs

MidnightDraven · **OS:** 4.6.0.291

BBM 5 is the upgrade to BB messenger 4.6 that comes with your phone.

You can only do an OTA update to 4.6.0.297 if you have a an AT&T branded Bold and it is currently running an AT&T released version of the OS (4.6.0.167).

It's got nothing to do with your phone being unlocked.

...and the OTA upgrade is up for us...small consolation for we few who follow the rules and believe AT&T knows what's best for us.

Now if only I had enough signal strength to feel safe doing it without bogging my phone down all day!

Louppls · 08-25-2009, 09:18 AM

Where is the OTA link?

Well, the OTA is not working for me, running .282 on an AT&T bold.

Please read what I posted above. (Post #67)
You can't do an OTA update unless you're running an AT&T released OS on an AT&T branded device.
.282 is not an AT&T released OS.

JSylvia007 · 09:29 AM

Sorry, I missed that. I ran the update on an AT&T bold that was still running .167 and that only got the intermediate update.

Att knows what's best for us? Hmm mabey its att not wanting us to get more out of our phones. If rim released it its good they made the phone they make the os not att.

strange. It says no update for me and i'm running the latest ATT OS. Are you sure its not the intermediate update the OP was talking about?

drakemeister · **OTA update to .297 working -** 08-25-2009, 10:14 AM

At 9:00am Central time I requested an OTA update and it found .297 (I was on the standard .167)

In the process of updating now - downloaded .297 first (took about 10 mins.), and performing upgrade now (said it could take up to 2 hrs. - lawerspeak for "it takes a while...")

bimmerd00d · 10:19 AM

9:15 CST, where ATT's HQ is and nothing. :( Going to be ballsy and revert back to .167 to see if i get the OTA update.

What's the exact version number you're currently running.
It should say at the top of the Wireless Update screen.
