I have a small (possibly stupid) question: if I do a general backup of the handheld before updating the OS, can I use it to restore my phone or will it get to the previous OS?
A backup only backs up the data on the device, not the OS. Its separate from any OS that may be installed. You can restore it back to any BB device with any OS installed.
o..this is frustrating! I've downloaded this OS, installed it...ran APP Loader...and nothing. There was not a vendor.xml file in the install...think I got a bad download?
after i redownloaded and installed...vendor xml showed up. Also..must be my download didnt complete the first time. the file size was 119 meg. Thanks for the info!
Do you have to install desktop manager to upgrade the OS? My dad is on BES and I want to upgrade him. Just wondering whether I have to install Desktop Manager on his computer first.
