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 AppLoader 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.

Please help. Since upgrading to this version, everything works well except visual voice mail doesnt seem to work. Whenever someone leaves a message, I get a jumbled message on my phone and have to dial into voice mail. Can I either entirely delete it so no jumbled message appears or can I get it so the VVM works?

Contact your carrier.

Anyone knows whether the annoying SMS bug from 411 was fixed or whether we need to replace the COD again to an earlier beta version?

Thanks!

SMS Bug is fixed as far as I know.

out of curiosity ... what SMS bug are you referring to?

I don't have visual voicemail so this has never been a problem for me, but in looking at all the past OS upgrade threads, visual voivemail support seems to be the distinct exception for all but a few OS upgrades. Even with an official ATT 4.6 OS upgrade some people still have problems. I would search the forum, as I think there is a way, by inserting cods onto your BlackBerry to get VVM working even in an OS which does not otherwise support VVM.

Just do a search here in the forum - 216312-sms-fix-os-411-a; that would be great to have this fixed ... might plunge to the upgrade tonight.

Also, when pushing and hold A to lock the keypad, the phone seems to be defaulting it to putting the phone in standby. Not finding any mention of the former Lock option.

phone is running a little warm on this OS. weird. Keeping an eye on the battery to see if it'll end up doing a big dump.

loaded it up earlier today. Seems to be performing the same as 5.0.0.411.
This time it did not seem to take as long to get reauthorized on the BES.
Also this time previous theme came up without having to re-assign.
Same minor issue with PocketDay as previous OS 5 in that I am unable to skroll down on opening up utill I touch a key.

Installed it today--for some reason, the install went much more quickly than usual, under 30 minutes. So far, so good. I managed to wipe out my existing BB Messenger, but that was an easily remedied user error. I'm not noticing the warm-battery issue, though I have had that previously with earlier OSes, and it seems to be tied to Google Maps, especially when I try to use Latitude.

any major bugs? i really want to try this version but cant afford to lose phone and email functionality.

I'm mainly wondering if AT&T users are having any issues with their VVM? I know no version of 5.0 has had it working correctly yet from what I've read.

I installed it yesterday, so far after 24 hours I have not had any major issues with it. The battery seemed to die a little faster than with .411 but it could have been because i was using my device a lot yesterday. The camera buttons are working but the key lock button is gone. Memory leak might be fixed, I started the day with 35megs free and it only dropped to 29 this morning. I`ll keep every one posted.

Installed this version (771/464) from the Beta forum. Assume this release is the same. The SMS bug is gone, my VVM works properly (ATT/BES), no overheating so far (about a week).

The lock key ("K") is gone, unless you set a password. If you have a password set then you can still lock the device with "K".

Thanks,
Steve

Installed yesterday... Doesn't seem to auto-connect to saved Wi-Fi connections... Seriously considering reverting back to previous version...

I noticed this as well. If you manually setup a Wi-Fi connection it works, however, I have yet to see my BB auto-connect. *sigh*

I also couldn't get my Gmail/Google Maps Apps to launch after install. -- Getting "Uncaught exception: net.rim.device.api.sysem.ControlledAccessException ". Once I went into the Application permissions for each, re-saved the existing setup, the error went away.

I seem to be able to get mine to auto-connect to one designated Wi-Fi network (mine at home) by checking the "enable single profile scanning" box under Wi-Fi Options and then checking my home SSID, but I can check only one of the profiles I have saved. So no more walking into Starbucks and having the BB pick up AT&T Wi-Fi automatically, not that this was a major priority.

Google Maps seems OK thus far, haven't tried Gmail yet. Google Voice also appears to be fine.

I am reverting back.... I am in and out of too many places to have to manually connect each time or turn the Wi-Fi off....

if everything works good except wifi auto connect i'll give this a try. since having a data plan i hardly use wifi unless im downloading files.

has anyone found east asian version for this release?

Had the same problem on autoconnect with Wi-Fi, I applied OBSessed suggestions and it works for me.
Has anyone tried the media player for Music? This version does not recognize wma music files.

WiFi only works with "single profile" enabled. While that can be a PITA, it is worth it for me where I have only a few WiFi profiles.

You can take the East Asian files from .411 and move them into the Java directory (even after installation) of .464 to add those languages through DM. If you don't have .411, there is a zip file out there with all the necessary files.

holster lock stopped working. And yes, I did check to make sure the setting on that hasnt changed. anyone know how to get around this? i tried hovering the magnet around the keyboard and it won't lock....

hey new os is nice but i have a slight problem,my wifi isnt picking up any networks..would u b able to assist me there?

Use a password and the phone will lock.

I also noticed that with VVM on ATTWS I can now receive messages longer than 1 minute. Not sure if that changed with this version or just an "enhancement" in OS 5

One glitch I have noticed is that one of my e-mail accounts reverts to my text message alert often, but when I check the settings it shows what my e-mail alert "should" be. A battery pull usually fixes the problem but it keeps reverting back.

I already upgraded as well.. Hoping a better performance..

will try but to be honest, I never had a password before. it would lock and I would hit the "*" and "phone" button to unlock it.

Is anyone else having a problem where google sync won't sync contacts, and keeps failing, and when using the bis contact sync option with gmail, it will not copy more then 800 or so contacts??? I had to revert due to this but 411's bug with choppy phone conversations is driving me nuts.

So just to get this straight: I can't use the Keyboard Lock function on this official .464, without using a password? Why the hell wouldn't they have fixed that problem?

correct...went back to 411 just because of that
