Download the OS file (English + East Asian) here:

Download the OS file (Multilanguage) version here:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...761840F4BA6C53

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.

Downloading! Thanks for posting this!
 

I hope my bberry likes this better than .266!

Man you guys are fast... I just found it and see that, once again, you have beaten me to the punch... downloading now...

lol, we're fast? Or you're slow? :razz:

j/k, enjoy.

Does it matter that's east asia? Is the carrier trustworthy? thanks

OMFG.

For your information, impegio, first, I do not post links to "questionable" file downloads.

Second, if you read the first post you will find the download is FROM blackberry.com.

But you need to actually read and click on the download to know that.

Is this any better than .266? I haven't really had any problems with .266.

penguin, you hit that one dead center, jsanders, nice catch. Now, I'm trying real hard not to do anymore upgrades until a 5.0 OS, but you guys just keep putting these updates out there, you're making it hard not to click the download link.

Struggling to look away and not click the link.....

Anybody making comments? Improvements, stability?

.266 works great for me.... (Except on drop calls.... that may be AT&T issue)

Thanks for the replies. understood.

Thanks. Downloading now.

You're excused :)

Never be afraid to ask questions here, just have thick skin for the replies. :oops:

Anyone else have to agree to some "BlackBerry Messenger License Agreement" when starting up BBM for the first time after upgrading to .282 ?

I did. As far as I can remember, I've never had to do it with any previous OS updates.

yes. :)

Who cares if it's better... it's newer! 8-) :razz:

Downloaded and about to install.
I wonder if there will be any more Os's for 4.6 with OS 5 on the horizon. Isn't .282 the last known beta?

that's interesting...

Installed and waiting for BES activation to complete.
I have done many OS updates and BES activation always takes forever. Right now it is about half way through the 1377 Application Permissions. It appears to be over the air, even though I am hardwired via USB cable to my network computer. I am on the 29th floor of an office tower and 3G is weak even though there are many cell towers around. It drops down to Edge because of the weak 3G signal. Being on Edge may explain why over the air activation takes so long.
Any way to speed up activation (via USB?) ?
