I tried with verizon 8830 and can not get it to load. When it tries to upgrade to 4.5 it says their is an Invalid configuration and that their are missing files. Anyone have any thoughts?

This download is for the 8800. The 8830 thread is here: http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...ge-sprint.html

This thread only has downloads for 4.2, which I already have. Not obvious how to do download the 4.5 for 8830. New at this, sorry to be asking stupid questions, but have not seen a clear download site for this...help.

The post and downloads are clear. It lists 4.5.0.81 for the 8800. I notice your profile says 8830. This OS will NOT work on the 8830.

[John Clark]

And the post right above yours already states this.

I don't think 4.5 has been released for the 8830. That's the real reason you're having trouble finding it.



I could be wrong (I don't track other device OSes), but whatever is listed in the thread John Clark linked you to is the latest available.

I had battery problems with 4.5.0.69 so I order a new one.
I upgraded to 4.5.0.81.

VOILA! NO PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only problem is that I don't have my native language (Greek)... Will wait for the multilanguage...

is there any benefit of installing this updated os on a brand new 8800 (4.2.11.08)?

You get the same benefits everyone else gets from 4.5. Just install it. You'll like it.

I'm having issues loading this version on my Cingular 8800 w/ V4.2.1.72 (platform 2.3.0.54). I upgraded to DM 4.6 and installed the code for 4.5 from the link above. It is registered in DM, but doesn't recognize my device as a candidate for that version. Is there a trick to override this? Or are they not compatible for some reason?

Delete the vendor.xml file.

Please allow a newby to ask few stupid questions:

I am with T-Mobile USA, 8800 runing 4.2.1.74

1) Will upgrading to 4.5.0.81 screw up my corporate email on my 8800?
2) With this upgrade, when I listen to music with Chinese file name or Chinese ID3 tags, will the proper characters show up in the music player (versus some gibberish that I see now)?

Thanks

Is anyone else having troubles downloading the OS for the 8800 using the link at the top of this thread? I get to the download screen and press the button and then nothing happens. Something wrong with the link??

Well that was fun!

Installing on 1st generation 8800 from Cingular.

Rule #1 ... remove your MEDIA CARD before attempting the upgrade. I must have had 4-5 failed upgrades and about 30 reboots today because of it. The remedy? Pull the card out. Do your upgrade, as described. Put the card back in, backup your media. Then format the card on 4.5. I found that if I used the Media Manager, it was the ONLY way that the phone would not reboot. I believe there are some format inconsistencies with certain jpg and mp3 that are causing the phone to crash when the media is loaded/accessed. Once I moved the files over using media manager, no more issues!!

Good luck!
