Notes:

• The information above is gathered by a script that visits each provider site listed in the link at the top of the page that use BlackBerry to host their files, selects each model available, and gets the first version listed. If you are aware of discrepancies, PM me.
• Only sites which have the latest available version are listed. Models may be listed at other sites, but do not have the latest version available.
• Version numbers listed should match the version number in the About screen under Options - typically the third line down, and listed as vX.X.X.X (Platform x.x.x.x)
• Both t-Mobile and Verizon host their own software download sites. The US t-Mobile and Verizon site info is gathered irregularly manually, and may be out of date. PM me if you are aware of newer versions available from those two providers.
• Non US t-Mobile sites and other sites like O2 that do not use BlackBerry to host their firmware, as well as sites not listed on the Download Sites page (like TIM and Bouygues Telecom) are not included in the scan at all, and will not be included unless they hosts their files on BlackBerry's site AND are listed on the Download Sites page.

Thanks for posting this, Jerry.

8703 telus verison is 184

Software For BlackBerry 8703e(TM)

BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.2.1.184 (Multilanguage)

Package Version: 4.2.1.184
Consisting of:

Wirelessly posted (Pearl: BlackBerry8300/4.2.2 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/102)

Nice, thanks.

Yes, nice. Good to have a centralized place. This should be a sticky.

Yes, this should be a sticky ... Thanks for the info!

Just waiting for 4.3 :)

That's the package version, Dawg.
When referring to OS versions, you typically refer to the applications version... which would be 4.2.1.110.
The list above is correct.

Jerry, I think you're missing the 8120 from the list.

Well put together list. We have a list similar to this but it doesn't get kept up all the time by the OP and it doesn't have links like this. If you're willing to keep it updated I'll sticky it.

I know this stuff changes weekly as I tried to keep up with all the edited .alx files for a while. I couldn't keep up.

Here is a noob-ish question I have been wondering for a bit...

Is there an issue putting another company's 'update' into my BB? For example, I have a Verizon 8703e and the above post says that Telus has a newer OS than I have installed on my BB.

Thanks... good stuff.

not at all... as long as you stay model-consistent, i.e. 8703 to 8703, 8100 to 8100. And always follow the instruction in the Sticky Threads about deleting the vendor.xml file.

Thanks. Is it worth grabbing onto every update? I'm running 4.2.1.106 and I'm curious whether I should wait for a more significant change than upgrading to a version 0.0.0.004 higher than what I have!

Wow that is useful... :-)

You can also do your own scan over here.

i can't seem to find the version i was told i need.

i read in another thread that was a v4.2.1.179, but i don't see that..

4.2.1.179 sounds like a package version. These are listed by app version (which is how most here refer to them.) Do you know which app version you are looking for?

Who carries it? If it's only carried by t-Mobile (it isn't listed on the US t-Mobile site), it won't appear on the list.

Although the process takes about 30 minutes, it's completely automated - even the content of the post (in BB code) is automated, so I just have to kick it off.

I won't promise to do it weekly, but I will try to update it at least once a month.

I'd scan the forums for the exact details for this procedure, but I'm pretty sure all you need to do is to make sure you do NOT have any other firmware for the model installed other than the version you want, and then rename or delete the file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\Vendor.xml.

The Application loader should now recognize that it has newer firmware available for your device automatically, and if it doesn't come up automatically when you connect, it should offer the update if you start it manually.

No such version for ANY model! There's 4.2.1.79 for the 8800 from AT&T, but the AT&T 8100 is currently on 4.2.1.96. Get it from here:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...E4F82F9F00E7D4

It was released in Europe before the US.
O2 UK, Orange UK, Telefonica (Spain), TIM (Italy), Bouygues Telecom (France) all have the device.

I believe the first US carrier to launch the 8120 is Suncom (T-Mobile), although it may not have officially released in the US yet. Q108?

Good catch!

Explanation:
The script gleans model info from this page:
BlackBerry Desktop and Device Software Download Sites
However, the 8820, 8120, and 8130 are not listed there. When I wrote the script I was able to set it add the 8820 and 8130 to the list of models to check for, but the 8120 had no providers and having it in the list was causing errors.

Now that there are providers for that model, I've added them to the list of models to check for.

O2 does not use BlackBerry to host their files, and TIM and Bouygues are not listed in the Providers page. The notes will be updated to be more clear on that issue.

excellent code. well done

this might have been asked before but i have a basic question. i have a verizon pearl, will the alltel OS update work properly? is this a problem for verizon or alltel or me? thanks

Yes, the Alltel code will work on Verizon. All handheld code is written by RIM, and tested and released by the carriers on their own schedules.

Follow the instructions posted on Main Page - BlackBerryFAQ.com and you are good to go.

when im asked to verify that i am an alltel customer, does that not go anywhere? or is that jsut for RIM?

Just a question.
You are the first person in recorded history to actually READ the EULA :-)

sorry just a lil type A and anal. so your saying go for it.

If you want to, go for it.
Just because others are doing it doesn't mean it is right for you.

FYI the 8110 is missing from the list.

actually that was a statement, not a question.

I did wonder about that the first time I downloaded an OS from another carrier. However, it's been 3 years and nobody's come knocking on my door.

strictly speaking yes, you are *supposed* to be a customer of that carrier, in order to download that OS.

Hi guys

i would like to know if i download a firmware from other carrier for 8707 model, will that affect the whole device? or i should delete the vendor.xml file before proceed to upgrade firwmare ?

using CSL carrier, but problem is it dont have the firmware for 8707 model.

can 8707g or 8707v firmware compatible with 8707 model ?

also, i would like to know if i download a firmware with CJK language, is that mean after upgrade the firmware, the whole device only shows in chinese or just showing chinese during upgrading process via desktop manager?


please advise. thank you

any Cyprus OS available ?

Quick Question,
I have 8300 from AT&T, is it completely safe to download and install
# 8300 - 4.5.0.37 from Singapore and StarHub? I mean, will I lose any functionality, since these are specifically designed for that particular provider.

Yes, it's safe to do.

Here is more info:

thanks usefull post and thread

Great list but are they all compatible to there specific model as long as you remove the vendor.xml file? :?

it is usefull

Thank You, I will have to take a look at that topic later.

Hi! Anyone know if there an OS upgrade from Verizon for the 8830?

Check the Verizon website for upgrades for Verizon.

JerryD, The 8110, 8820 and 8310 have had releases of 4.5.0.44 recently.

Great list, BTW!!

John,

Where has 4.5.0.44 been officially released for the 8820?

Thanks,
SMF

Wirelessly posted (BB 11020)

Check the 8800 forum stickys.

JC - I did. Here's what it says.....

4.5.0.37 os for 8820 on TurkCell. Multilanguage, including English.

BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.5.0.52 (Multilanguage)

Package Version: 4.5.0.52
Consisting of:

* Applications: 4.5.0.37
* Software Platform: 2.7.0.55
* File name: 8820M_PBr4.5.0_rel52_PL2.7.0.55_A4.5.0.37_Turkcell .exe
* File size: 80.12MB

I don't want to use .52/.37 and I didn't see 4.5.0.44 for the 8820 anywhere (at least officially.... ;) )

I think we need this updated. I'm seeing a lot of new OS's not listed here.

Thanks, its very usefull, I will keep looking for it

i just did the 4.5.0.52 , and am getting the excessive hourglass. :( do i need to do an older o.s. ?

thanks for the useful info

i had 4.5 running smoothly somehow,after about 15 reboots, but i put the newest 4.2 back on ,in fear of it crashing again.

however, 4.5 blew 4.2 out of the water. the predictive text was WAY better, the media player was extra sweet, the sound at full blast was much clearer. everything was better.. hopefully a more stable one comes out ,soon

4.5.0.52 works fine on my 8800
 

Hi,

Just made some extensive tests on how to deploy 4.5 OS within the company and did upgrades on all sorts of devices (8100, 8310, 8800, 8700) where the 4.5.0.52 flushed smoothly on the 8800 device (with DM4.5).

thanks 8-)

Why upgrade?
 

Why would I want upgrade to 4.3 (I have 8330 Curve 4.2) and instead wait for a little bit for the 4.5? I have Alltel phone carrier. Thanks!

Nobody asked you to upgrade.

And, FWIW, you don't have 4.2 on your 8330 Curve.

extremely helpful sticky!
BTW, if you click on your own link for TMI under the 8300, you'll find that there's also 4.5.0.52 for 8310.

just went to 4.5.0.52 on a 8310 on a second device.
Looking good so far.

I see both Telstra and Optus have v4.5.0.75 for the Pearl 81xx, Curve 83xx, 8700g and 8800, which is (I think) more recent than other carrier releases

Good news for 8130/8330 users. Looks like 4.5 was released for the 8130 and 8330. Check the appropriate forums for the Latest OS threads for those!

We've just got a 8830 from Verizon, which, as you know, allows for different networks, and for a sim chip.
The phone currently has a vodafone chip in it.
The problem is that we live in Peru, South America, and need it to work exclusively with the gsm network (and local sim chips) here.
What do we need to download in order to make it work?

There is nothing you need to download. The device needs to be unlocked, if it isn't already. Also, the only frequencies that the 8830 uses for GSM are 900 and 1800Mhz. Your network needs to be one of those frequencies.

These links are great. Thanks

8700, 8800, and 8820 have official 4.5.0.69 releases from orange france.

That's great! However, it wasn't made for the 8310, so you will never have it. Please buy a new device if you want new features.
