I'm just a bit confused. Do currently have .461 on your device, and if so why would you want to update it? And if your asking why the device may be telling you there's a lower version available, it's probably your carrier's latest version, which in many instances will be a lower version of the OS. Bottom line, if you're not having problems then just ignore it.

installed 461 and looks like everything works as intended and no issues so far. Except all the settings were gone.

For those who installed the ringtones from 5.xx version make sure you copy the file in java folder when installing otherwise your 5.xx ringtones will not be there and it will set to defaults.
I am copying mine now. lesson learned!!

Hi,

I currently have a 9780 V6.0.0.359 Platform 6.5.0.93 and when I try to install this release it says that I'm downgrading :( so I'm a little bit confused

Have you deleted the vendor.xml as per the instructions at the beginning of this thread?

Yes, I followed the instructions

anybody missing their cursor in BBM chats?

How long did it took to update it? Mine have been updating for like an houre: )

[CharlieMike73]

1st ?
Does 'Loader' backup the currently installed OS on the device along with the user data, or does it only do the data; if only the user data how can I backup the OS so that I can revert back to it if required/desired?

2nd ?
Is it safe to install an OS from the 9700 on the 9780 model, or will this brick the device?

Thanks in advance for answers to both questions!

[freakinvibe]

1. It does not backup the OS, you would need to get it from the Internet if needed.

2. No that doesn't work at all. The OS must exactly match the BB model number.

Thanks Freakinvibe, where can I find the earliest OS for the 9780? I looked on the 'BETA YOU THAN ME' area on this forum but can only find two OS's for the 9780 and they are both OS6, I need to temporaraly install OS5; what would happen if I tried to install OS5.x from the 9700?

In a nutshell, I am trying to change the active PIN on Blackberry Redirector, but it does not recognise my 9780, I had a 9800 (Torch) running OS6 and it worked fine with that, but it wont detect the PIN on my new BOLD and someone suggested installing OS5 as it may be the newer OS build that is preventing Redirector from changing the active device.

My only other option is if someone knows how/where I can manually change the active device from Redirector.

[freakinvibe]

This does not work. The 9780 was delivered with OS6 from the beginning, there is no OS5 for this device.

I am trying to change the active PIN on Blackberry Redirector

How exactly are you trying to do that? You don't need an old OS to activate your 9780, the latest OS6 will activate fine. Are you using Desktop Manager?

Hi there,

I tried different downloads and did what the instruction said but both times it check what I have on my Bold and then it continues and said done, this takes les then 3 min and when I check, same OS.

Any fix would be deeply appreciated.

[freakinvibe]

You have probably downloaded the wrong os. As you have a 9700, you should download an OS for 9700 not for 9780.

there is a newer one out
