To install this software on any 8300:
1. Download and install the latest Desktop Manager.
2. Download and install the OS packaged linked above.
3. Delete the vendor.xml file located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Connect BB, open Desktop Manager and you should be prompted to upgrade.
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 you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to DM again and run application loader again and it should load the OS to the device.

I followed the directions. Got to step 4 when I connect to BB and open Desktop Manager nothing happens. I clicked on AppLoader and it is still using 4.2 not 4.5 so doesn't upgrade. I went to Help in the Desktop Manager, then pulled up about and under Device Software I can see both the version 4.2.2.170 and 4.5.0.37. Did I do something wrong?
Thanks.
