This thread is for the 8820, not the 8830. Did you mean to post in the 8830 latest OS thread? I can move it for you.

no, i loaded this 8820 os onto a 8830 and the 8830 dont memory leak anymore, the same 22 megs i boot with with a battery pull, after a week of not turning or pulling the battery, if i clear my browser cache, it comes back with 22 megs free

So, you loaded the 8820 (GSM OS) onto the 8830 (CDMA OS)? Did you do anything special to load it?

I loaded the App Version of the software my platform is 3.0.67 being the .sfi file by verizon, app version all the running apps, are 4.2.2.169 which to me atfer a week, i can go back to the orignal starting ram i had which makes me very happy.

all i did was load the 4.2.2.169(305) cods, you cant load the .sfi file, but all the cod files, you load will be updated i cant load the firmware since their is a device diffrence and hardware wise, one is gsm vs cdma.

edit: ss of what i am talking about

They Fix many Bugs, but they also bring 1 Bug! At a Today Screen Theme it's not showing anymore Meetings or what ever at the Calender.

But it's shows now the WiFi connection on the Display:

i am on a company machine and may cause trouble if i try to upgrade my firm's version of blackberry desktop manager, which shows "4.2.1.6 (December 2006)" and nothing i can see about service pack 2. i have now downloaded v4.2.2.305 from https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...E6D78BA&step=4

query: do you think my company's version of the desktop manager should be ok for following instructions at top of this post to attempt install? thx

well, i tried, followed the instructions scrupulously, and when i connected the handheld to DM i saw something about New Device (maybe ready to go) but never got prompted to Upgrade (nor could i find any choice to do so). probably should have waited for help

[btaylor1]

got some expert help today. looks like my at&t 8820 already had this software

Does this update support Chinese characters?

[John Clark]

Generally the file names with Chinese start with CJK....I don't think "M" for Multi language supports Chinese.

I have a new 8820 and cannot add any applications with Desktop Manager. Media Manager works fine for loading ringtones and pictures but when I go to application loader it says its not the right software for the device. I used the CD that came with the phone but no luck!! I have 4.2.2 so what am I doing wrong and how can I get the applications to load and be recognized. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

If you don't have an OS loaded on your desktop PC, you can't add apps. DL and run the OS and then you can.

Oh man!! It works perfectly now. Thanks again!!

[willyberry]

guys, is there any different between at&t OS ,t-mo OS and other carrier OS for bb8820 ?
which one is "the best" ?

[gadgetjunkies]

Is there a way to unlock themes on the 8820? I have a new 8820 with the latest AT&T OS. Is there another OS to install to get other vendors themes?

[o1sowise]

Sorry for the apparently silly question, but can I download new software from BlackBerry or would I be better off downloading it from AT&T?

Does it matter?

Is an 8820 an 8820, or is an AT&T 8820 special?

[John Clark]

You can load any version of the 8820 software on any 8820. There is usually nothing special about one carrier's version over another carrier's. Just go with the latest version regardless of carrier.

Thanks John.

So can you tell me the difference between:

Software Download for AT&T:
BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.2.2.305 (Multilanguage) (79.876 Mb)
which downloads 8820M_PBr4.2.2_rel305_PL2.4.0.67_A4.2.2.169_ATT.ex e

Software Download for BlackBerry Support:
BlackBerry Desktop Software v4.2 SP2 (Multilanguage) - Dated 18May2007 and is 387 MB
which downloads Desktop Software v4.2 SP2 (Multilang).exe

Software Download for BlackBerry Support:
BlackBerry Desktop Software v4.2 SP2 (English) - Dated 18May2007 and is 231 MB
which downloads Desktop Software v4.2 SP2 (English).exe

I can surmise that the 3rd one is the English Only version of the 2nd one,
but why is the first one so small?

That is the handheld OS software. The others are Desktop manager software. You need Desktop Manager in order to install the OS and backup/restore, etc.
