Thanks for the info

And it should restore third party apps also... same, another check box.

When do a restore, I don't see any check boxes. I only see check boxes when I go to the Application Loader Wizard, and none of the third-party apps show up here (like they usually do).

Am I missing something- should restore have check boxes available?

It is not to get around anything ATT has approved... it is to enable the OS to be installed on your device. All the OSs are basically the same for each carrier.

None.

For you, THIS latest update doesn't go anywhere. The OS upgrades are device specific... the 8310 is for 8310 devices ONLY, and will not work on the 8330. There is another sticky thread in this forum for the latest 8330 OS, and THAT is the one you need.

Once you have the correct OS, you need to run the .exe file on your PC to install it... then connecting your 8330 to the pc should launch the installer process and update the phone itself.

... and WELCOME to the forum.

None.

I followed the link to download the software in the first post of this thread. on the page I selected Curve 8310. I then selected the English/Chinese version for download. the file is 8310CJK_PBr4.2.2_rel265_PL2.5.0.16_A4.2.2.146_Voda fone_AU. However, the install program said

"Welcome to the InstallShield Wizard for Blackberry v4.2.2 for the 8310 series wireless Handheld"

????? I thought it was supposed to install 4.5. I already have 4.2.2.170 on my Blackberry.

You selected the wrong link. There are 2 on that last page:

Consisting of:

* Applications: 4.5.0.81

* File name: 8310EastAsia_PBr4.5.0_rel108_PL2.7.0.78_A4.5.0.81_ Voda_Australia.exe
* File size: 72.6MB

Note: The Software Platform and Applications version numbers can be found under Options-About screen on the handheld.

* Download Software

BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.2.2.265 (English/Chinese)

The first is 4.5. The second is 4.2. Version is reflected in the file name as well.

Thanks,

I'll try again.

Was the sound issue solved in this release?

[CSO]

I just upgraded, or attempted to and herexxx8217;s the xxx8220;warningxxx8221; I got (I got the same one when upgrading to 8310 4.5.0.92/4.5.0.69):
___________________
Update Complete

Warnings were encountered during the loading process:

Application data could not be restored to the device. The backup data file has been saved to ******. You can use the Desktop Manager Backup/Restore tool to restore this information.

Policy injection was unsuccessful.
______________________

Is this normal? Ixxx8217;ve not seen it before these recent two upgrades. Should I do as the warning suggests? And do I do this before disconnecting after the upgrade or after?

UPDATE: I followed the directions and have had the same problem I had last night with the prior version. Nothing happens, that is no backedup data loads. Last night at some point it just worked, no rhyme or reason. What's up with this?

Thanks

For anyone on a non enterprise server: is your email with 4.5 really html richer? While the layout is better, there is not difference in the body of the message that using 4.2.XXX. I read in some other places that this is because the carriers do that, but BB indicates that this is a feature of the software device, so why I cannot see images or color on my email?

[tintillo]

More on HTML messages. Help indicates that I have the choice of moving between text only and HTML in a message folder. But I cannot find that option on my device... is that ATT's trick on this issue?

Go to Email Settings and make sure Enable HTML Email is Yes.

If you dont see it then you will have to log into your personal email setup and resend the service books. Then once those are sent over, try again.

Not a trick. Once you get OS 4.5 on the device, read and follow this for HTML email:

Interesting that when I loaded this my ringtone went back to the ATT default ringtone which hasn't been on my phone since I started using these. I wonder if this will also be the ATT release.

what happens when you get 507 and no matter how you try DM won't connect

Don, your profile say 8130 on VZ. This is the 8310 thread.

Nevertheless, If your BB was still plugged into the USB, only the device ringtones will work until you unplug.

[CSO]

Mr. Sanders any input on my issue from above?

I'm on BES and some of the previously installed 3rd pty apps automatically reloaded upon enterprise reactivation, but not the data/settings (other than from my BES calendar).

When I go to Restore in my desktop mangr and open the backed up file to restore, the progress bar completes in a second and nothing is transferred.

Also, each time I connect my BB to my desktop I get a message: Intellisync: "Failed to connect to the device. Please make sure device is properly connected and try atgain."

If I just click ok, the desktop manager seems to work properly....

[aapierre]

followed the faq about no conection and apploader is outting an OS on my phone now

only problem is it's not putting all thegood stuff i had on like facebook and carphone warehouse navigator

would i simply restore to the backup i took just before attemptin this reboot.

I guess I should update that profile. I never look at it myself.

There..that's better. (For now)

And btw, it was still plugged it but it is still working now that it has been unplugged. The only difference is I had to set it to the ATT tune. it was no longer the default but prior to this it had disappeared completely from the phone.
