Instructions for installing on ANY carrier's 8310:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Desktop Manager installed.
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...93E4F3BB068C22
2. Download the above file to the PC then install it to the PC by running the file you downloaded.
3. Locate the vendor.xml file and delete it. It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Plug in BB and Open Desktop Manager. 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.

To find previous versions of the OS for this device, click http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...ilanguage.html

Note: Preinstalled wallpapers and folder icons are not included in this release.

Any benifit to upgrading from .44? Just installed that last night

Over the past week or so, I've noticed a decrease in battery life with .52.



I'm giving it a few more days before I consider going back to .48

Installing this one as we "speak"...

[lostangel]

Guys,

What's the difference, assuming there is, between the 4.5.0.37 and this latest one.

Anyone tried both ?

Yes I have. I tried .37 and hated it. A big broswer glitch and could not post in forums from it. Also, got many java.lang errors while trying to run some different 3rd party apps. Using .52 is much better! Definately worth the upgrade.

Same here. I just installed 4.5.0.44 yesterday and don't really feel like doing all the steps to free up the memory and unlock all the themes again. I like having the newest official OS installed but if there isn't much of a difference in performance then I think I'll just stick with .44. Especially since I haven't had any problems with it and have about 24-28 MB free.

[John Clark]

This is the most stable of all the 4.5 OS's released so far. I would recommend upgrading to this!

[lostangel]

Hmm..I don't know....

I've been having the 4.5.0.37 OS for my 8310 for a couple of weeks now, and it's working just fine..! I had almost zero glitches uprading and using many of even the 3rd party apps ( I have eOffice, Nav4All ).

unless this new OS has something VERY special, I think I'll just stick to what I have...

Does this lastest OS have something better than the .37 ?


Ray

[John Clark]

It fixes issues with entering text in the browser, sending voicenotes via BBMessenger and is overall a more polished release. Suit yourself.

[lostangel]

OK, cool...thanks, JohnC

Well, as I said I have no issues with the .37, so I'll stay where I am.

At least for now....


Cheers

I'm assuming this still applies?

I have read the whole thread from start to finish.

Would this process seem a sensible step by step how to
1 Do a back up of my phone
2 upgrade Desktop and Device Manager to the latest ones.
3 download and install the OS as per JSander's post # 1 and follow those instructions
4 also follow the memory maximisation thread as per John Clarks thread.

sit back and try it out.

1. The upgrade process will do a backup automatically, in your step #3.

2. If you already have Desktop Manager version 4.2, Service Pack 2, or DM version 4.3, you are fine, no need to upgrade anything there. (The step to upgrade your Desktop Manager is written in the process because so many older BlackBerry users may still be using DM ver. 4.1 or below).

3. and 4. To do the "John Clark memory optimization", insert that in the process after downloading and installing the new OS to your PC... and before you plug your BB to the USB and open DM.

Good luck, it is not a complicated process as long as you follow the instructions as written. Post back here if you have questions.

[aapierre]

bearing in mind I have the latest device and desktop manager and was prompted for a back up this am I should be alright.

[JSanders]

You should be.

[Nukinfuts]

Do i have to uninstall .44 from my laptop before installing this one for upgrade?

[aapierre]

other than fixing some things are there any niceties in here?

no, keep it in case you want to go back.

you can delete it if you like and get it later if needed but it won't do any harm to have it
