I really wanted to hold out for an official release from my carrier, but after calling them and speaking with them, I found out they were being douchebags and not releasing OS 5.0 for the 8520.

So I went ahead and upgraded with the unofficial release. I've lost all my contacts and what not. Anyone know how I can get that all back?

I figured it out. I thought trying to access the backup file would downgrade my OS back to v4.6, but now I see it's restored everything. :D

This Update Is The Devil!!! I Have The Tour And I Allowed It To Update Over 12 Hours Ago And My Bb Wont Turn On. Ive Been Charging It For Hours, But Its Not Working. Ive Removed The Battery And Still Nothing, Ive Connected It To My Computer And It Just Shows A Battery With A Thunder Through It. I Connected It Again To Charge It And The Red Light Blinked Once And Then Nothing, Its Still Connected To The Charger But It Wont Turn On, Helpppppp!!!!!!!

Maybe because your trying to load an OS for a phone you don't have. This is for the 8520, you have a 9630. You might want to try posting in your section.

I followed the instructions and it does not do anything. 1. I download the 5.0 and then run it. 2. I find and delete the vendor.xml doc. 3. I plug in, go to the apploader file and double click the loader. It goes through the process. then just looking at it, I see that thr 4.6 is still there.

Help?!

You have THE BlackBerry plan on your account?

I own a T-Mobile 8520 with OS 4.6 on it. I am not able to install the update for OS 5.0 on my phone. I have deleted the vendor.xml as described and followed the directions exactly, but when I start the app loader the 5.0 update does not show up. Also when I go to the site to download the 5.0 update, my Software Platform does not appear. My platform is 4.2.0.116. Can anyone help me upgrade to 5.0 if possible. Thanks!

I will repeat Jsanders question, do you have a BlackBerry data plan? Must be a BlackBerry one.

[keano]

My installation went fine, going from 4.259 to this version on a T-Mobile. I guess we need to re-start/re-configure every app we have.

The biggest test for this upgrade would be to see if the phone will not get confused and stop receiving any traffic when a station I listen in moodio/yourmuze crashes.

Also some people may have issues installing OS's lately without the OS that's on their berry...I've ran into a few that I've had to load the 4.6 OS that's on the phone for it to load

[vibemixxer]

so there's no "Compatibility files" folder in the "program files\common files\research in motion\apploader"
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit edition.
i installed the software and deleted the "vendor.xml"....i could not find the "compatibility files" so i just went ahead with the upgrade....but i was Unable to update....to version 5.
I have the BB data plan activated.......Please advice!!!

[vibemixxer]

well i restarted my computer n blackberry and was able to upgrade from v4.6 ........ works like a charm.... i installed it on two 8520's....no issues...
and you do not need a data plan for this upgrade

[Jesse714]

After the install on my 8520 T-Mobile, my trackpad no longer works.... Any body know whats going on or how to fix?
Thanks

[Jesse714]

Okay, so i went back to 4.2 whatever it is lol, tried 5.0 again, and it the trackpad still didn't work, however it works just fine on 4.2.xxxxxxx lol, so i figured i would try and clean the trackpad with my shirt, and voila! the trackpad works, but only if i use my shirt on it.....? Again, it works just fine on the old version, maybe i should turn the sensitivity way up?
Any help is appreciated! thanks

[Jesse714]

No my trackPAD works just fine on 4.6, I'm using it now, I've read of the problem a few times, the newest release on crackberry has one guy with the same problem

[mbarcenas]

If I install this os, when my bb boots will I get The Wind Hellas logo or will I still see my carriers logo?

Thanks for your help.

Your carriers logo.
