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.

*Note: During Beta testing of this OS on TMobile devices many sim cards were "fried" and had to be replaced and UMA didn't work. Load on TMo devices at your own risk.

Also, on all devices it's a good idea to make a backup of your media card before loading OS 4.5. Constant reboots can occur when using media cards formatted in OS 4.2 or 4.3 in OS 4.5. Then reformat the media card in OS 4.5 and restore your data.

*Note: While in Application Loader be sure and check the boxes to add Documents To Go to your device. Failure to install Documents To Go will cause java errors in some 3rd party apps.

Legit??
 

I assume this is an official release of .37 being it is from Vodaphone. Whoever loads this let me know if it fixed the issues that were reported in the beta release of .37.

Wirelessly posted (by hammer and chisel)

Shurely it has since its a release but I could be wrong.

It is an "official" release. Still though, this is the OS that had browser issues with entering text and clicking the submit button.

Other than that, it was a good release for me.

Hi there
I'm in the Uk using the o2 network
Will this work on my 8310?

fully, yes. As long as you follow then instructions in the first post, particularly #3, you will be fine.

Cool! Now they're slowly coming out!

Thanks JS!

is there any difference between this official release and the beta release of .37

nope, there should not be, according to the release number, it would be the same.

I'm using it. I like the video camera and the fact that I can now watch YouTube. I used John's instructions on freeing up memory and I have 30.5mb and it seems to be running faster, especially the browser. My only problems are no more BBMaps on ATT and when I went to Google image search for a new wallpaper I couldn't click "see full size image" for some reason...

How is battery life with this version compared to 4.2?

Wirelessly posted (Dick Wiggler)

Battery life seems fine so far. My phone is always in sleep mode when I'm not using it though. Another bug I just found is I can't see most of what I'm rtyping right now. Half of the text input box is cut off!

Cool, nice find.

Just installed this software and am still having the same problem with the camera - it takes about 30 seconds for the viewfinder followed by another 30 seconds for it to show the pic.

Is anyone else seeing this?

I downgraded to TIM 4.2 this afternoon & the camera was fine.

I really like the today theme, especially the way it displays emails. Does anyone know how I can save this theme to install if I downgrade back to the TIM 4.2 software? I can't cope with such a slow camera!

Here they come

Wirelessly posted (Dick Wiggler)

My camera and video are working fine. What's really pissing me off is this text input box!

Well I went back to 4.2. Camera was fine for me. Couldn't get Google Maps or SoftReset to work for me, deal breaker.

Yea, I had to get past Google Maps not working, there were other and "better" apps out there, like LiveSearch.
http://www.blackberryforums.com/afte...-maps-2-x.html

SoftReset won't work right now on later releases of 4.5, either.

4.5
 

Could someone please remind me what the new capabilities of OS 4.5 are? Thanks

I just loaded on my ATT 8310. With Enterprise Activation it took over 90 minutes. I received an error that the back-up could not be restored. However, it did restore everything.
Camera and video camera working fine, no delay or speed issues. Both recording and playback are fine. I have not tested all my Apps, but this seems to be a winner.

I am going to try and wait for the Rogers release, but I gotta tell ya, it's getting more difficult when I am reading positive feedback about other releases. Maybe by then some of the mentioned glitches will be fixed too. :)

So, as a new blackberry user probably better for me to wait to download this new release?? I use google maps alot with my 8310 and do not want to lost that feature

Will I still have UMA available to me if I upgrade (UMA for T-Mo USA)?

You can not use this OS release to upgrade a 8320. This OS release is specific to the 8310.

has anyone tried this upgrade on their 8320? the headline indicates its for 8310 with att...not sure if wifi is affected or if this release is good for any 83xx series??

Nope, this release only works for the 8310. You need to wait for the specific release for your device before you can install it onto your device.

Thanks :-(:-(

It is device specific... 8310 only... It will not work on an 8320.

I did the upgrade and my google maps works fine......

Is there another thread that lists the advantages of 4.5?

Just done with my update. Forgot how darn long that hour glass spun before the device woke up again. Video and voice recorder work really well!

I can not believe I have finally got a decent voice recorder!

Now I want the bold more than ever! BUIT, this is GREAT!

26.5mb FREE Memory after deleting PTT. YES!

Thanks JSanders!

2hrs15 mins to install. Damn thing scrubbed for most of that !!! But It was worth the wait !!!

I have been running 4.5 for the past few hours without noticable issue. Google Maps, Google Synch, JiveTalk, teleNav all work, and the input fields are not cutting off for me.

The new features listed elsewhere make this worth the upgrade time.

Frickin' GROOVY!!!!!

p.s. Its a bit smaller than the Beta. I just checked and the Beta is a little over 90 megs. And this one is 80 and some change...

Those that have loaded this vodafone.de verson .37--what's missing that makes it a smaller download? SlideshowToGo, DosToGo all there?

Would this be better than the .42 beta which has been out for a few weeks now? I've been using the .42 for a week and have no problems yet.
Should I downgrade.... grateful for any advise..

I'll tell ya, after Ive got it running. But I looked at the code, and saw a doc viewer .cod somewhere..
Dont remember, I think my eyes were crossed looking for the OEM wallpapers...

No, this is older than the .42 release. This is known as .37.

Keep what you have.

Alrighty, It includes docs to go. So, I dont understand the size difference. But maybe the Beta' has some sort of hitchhikers somewhere..

It appears that this OS is legit. And it seems to work the way it was intentended.. I will give it some time, and see if I get any hangups..

Right now, Im testing the BBmaps mod. Not dragging and dropping from the older OS, but removing the LBS.ALX and the .cod's from the java folder, and performing a clean program install.I have also deleted the BBMaps servicebook.
Will let you guys know if I get it to work...

Before I could finish the post, I had BBMaps working.. Will test the GPS in a bit. Have to do some setting up...

OK. I cant remember what the browser issue was.. But this one is working...Can someone refresh my memory?

Sorry for the multiple posts.. but jivetalk is working.. and so is berry411.
GPS WORKS! BBMaps works.... OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

And i DO NOT have docs to go installed. ALL of my 3rd party apps work...
OMG! Im gonna DIE!!!!!! IT WORKS!!!

Will do, thanks, JSanders!!

PS: I was just wondering, mine is a beta while a "regular" version has been released by Vodaphone. Will this make a difference on my BB's performance?

Just installed .42. Everything is working perfectly.

nice one, just giving this a go. hopefully it is a lot better than .10 which i tried a couple of months ago and quickly reverted back. (y)

everything works fine with me... but i cant watch youtube it says "content not available. Server is blocked or unresponsive" what does this mean? is ther any way to fix it? thanks

Well all seems to be working fine including google maps. BB Maps does not work though and i also get the same error message as previous poster when trying to look at google videos...:? I am on O2 network with unlimited data plan. any settings i need to change?

soft reset works on mine, i have just noticed. if by soft reset you mean left alt key + right caps + del...

Now the 8gb card works!

How is the volume in this build.I just rolled back from .40 night before last.I just couldnt deal with the low volume as I work around loud equipment all day and always missed calls with .40.

I was referring to the application "SoftReset".

Any idea how to get the Facebook application to work with the 4.5 OS. I cant even download it from the BB mobile site.

EDIT: Got it to download this mornig and is working fine...This OS rocks....

Fantastic cheers
That will please a few people in my office

Completely remove the LBS.ALX and the LBS .cods from the java folder. And install the older version. Remove the service book, reboot and it should work...

I even re-sent the service books from Att and BBMaps is still there. And fully functional.
Just follow the instructions in this thread and you should be in buisness. Make sure you READ THE ENTIRE THREAD!! There are a couple of methods on this thread that will work. But ONE IS EASIER than the other....http://www.blackberryforums.com/beta...-os-4-5-a.html

SIM Card during OS upgrade
 

Does the SIM card need to be in the phone when upgrading the OS to 4.5? Since it seems to take a while, I thought it would be good to put the sim card in another phone so I can receive calls during the upgrade.

No Sir, in fact I turn the radio off to make sure no calls come in while in the upgrade.

I also removed my VP's sim card and stuck it in a 8820 this AM while his went thru his 45 minute upgrade and PTT removal. Worked fine

While upgrading, I make it a habit to not even touch the device while it is hooked up the cable. Any interuption is not good!

^^Not a bad practice, there.

On the other hand, I have never removed the SIM for an upgrade. And lately, it seems, I have been upgrading about 1x week. :)

I have another issue...When using BB Messanger, The messages I send do not go thrugh, they just have a clock icon next to them...Anyone experiencing this and know how to fix?

1st step to take if device is having problems? - BlackBerryFAQ

My first suggestion.

I didnt think a battery pull would do this but....IT WORKS now...THANKS (y)

Anytime you Blackberry does anything irregular, a battery pull has been known to do wonders.

Yes I have never pulled the SIM either for an OS upgrade but my 2nd in command wanted me to update his OS to 4.5 this am and yet we get a heavy call volume from the employees so I knew he had to have a phone!

I did not like the way he looked at my 8820! He said if there were a camera on the 8820, I would never see it again! I told him to be patient as I will be buying two Bolds next month! The new os is only to wet your whistle!

Google maps works for me. At least the new version does. It also works with my GPS which the previous version didn't.

(beta .37)

wirless sync
 

Installed 4.5 everything appears to be working but I can't wirelessly sync. Do I need to do another enterprise activation? Help please

Here's my dilemma. The OS works great. No real hangups. But now I can't get my calendar to sync with outlook 07. I've cleared the databases. And tried to resync. I've deleted the intellisync folder, and tried and no dice. The DM is the earlier version. That worked on the other betas. But not this official for me. So far my addy book, tasks, and noted will sync, but no calendar. Really strange. Any more suggestions?

Ugrade on AT&T
 

If I ugrade the Vodafone version and I am on AT&T, do I lose anything? For example, MediaNet? Do I have to resend service books or anything like that?

If you didn't have bes running through desktop manager at the time of the upgrade then yes you will have to re-activate it.

No, you lose nothing., even MediaNet.

You might need to resend Service Books, I don't recall needing to do so after an OS upgrade, but you may.

Is anyone else having the issue with the browser cutting off half of the text input boxes? It also won't let me click "see larger image" in google image search.

arg, I am getting this error on startup and when I try Jivetalk:

class
java.lang.nullpointer
exception, null

any clue why this is happening?

Tell Me
 

Has anybody been able to get the application Tell Me to run on the new OS?

works great for me.

Only bummers were: lost all my bb messenger contacts and historical emails.

Jeff

Yes, you must not have read through this whole thread. Doing so will alert you to potential bugs and glitches in this release.

Did you load the DocumentsToGo application? If you didn't, you must do so for JiveTalk and a few other third party applications to work.

An OS upgrade normally (always has for me) restored all my messages and BBM contacts. If you did a backup (very wise) before upgrading, do a Restore, Advanced.

I also get this error also on startup. Any clue as to why?

Wirelessly posted (Dick Wiggler)

I ask because others have said they do not have the issue.

OK, loaded fine. Looks like TellMe causes a reboot. I'm sure the AT&T version will fix this..

Freeing up memory
 

I just loaded the 4.5 OS and then noticed that I have just under 7,000,000 Bytes of free memory.

I did a search on freeing up memory and saw John Clark's excellent post on freeing up memory during an install of an OS.

Unfortunately, I just installed the OS, so I would rather not do it again.

What would be the best way to delete PTT and other memory-hogging apps without having to re-load the OS?

Using Johns top-notch tips are the only way... delete the cod files in the java folder. Works great. It's a pain with rewards :)

Yes, because you didn't load the Docs2Go modules? That is the error and fix other users all over are reporting.

Don't know why, Docs2Go not being loaded is the reason, though.

Yep, but many many others do that that exact bug in the text entry box (like a password, or reply form) in the browser. And many of the 'submit" or 'click here' links won't work. I had it, also.

One way work around is to go to your Browser > Options > General Properties > and UNcheck "Enable Cursor in Column View"

OK, but can I just now edit the .alx files and then run the application loader on my desktop, or do I have to re-install the OS from scratch?

If you haven't done anything to the OS, no need to install the OS again to the PC from scratch: Just follow the instructions... edit the alx file, and remove the PTT cod files as he directs.

Follow the instructions to the tee on getting rid of PTT and it only takes a second for the DM to detect that PTT should not be there and remove it. It only takes a few seconds but then reboots your phone and you are good to go.

Sorry I missed that. Thanks8-)

Did you do a battery pull or anything because neither solves the issue for me. Its not a big issue. Its only these forums so far that are giving me trouble, aside from google image search.

Great. So I was able to reinstall and now it has no errors, but a couple wierd things exist

1. Opera Mini can no longer connect to internet. Went to advanced options, applications, and set connections, interactions, and user data all to "ALLOW". Still no luck - says cannot connect to interenet.

2. For some reason, Facebook isn't showing up on my home page? I thought it deleted it, then I went to applications and it says its still listed. Checked to see if it was hidden, but its not - its just not on the desktop. So I deleted, and ran into problem 3.

3. Tried to download Facebook OTA, but cannot get by the first terms and condition page, located here: http://www.blackberry.com/facebook/mobiledownload

You have to choose the "accept" radio dial, except when you do, the browser won't let you hit "Next". It doesn't see it as a button. What is going on? Obviously I'm not too impressed with the browser, so tried using Opera Mini - but due to problem 1, can't do that either.

CRAP!!!

Alright, Got to the house. And tried to sync with outlook at the house. And still no calendar sync... Cant figure it out... The DM at the house is the latest.

Latest OS problem loading
 

I went exactly by the instructons. When it asks to upgrade, I click on update now. The box closes and nothing happens. Have any idea what's going on? I have the 8310 curve.

could someone please post a link to these directions. I would love to unload PTT and free up memory. Thanks

Did you delete the Vendor.xml file?

Problem with OS
 

Yes I did. I even deleted the BB 4.5 and reinstalled it and took the vendor.xml out again. It does the same thing.

Whoa. Maybe an IT policy?

Tried to downgrade from .42 and now Im stuck with the error 205... Trying the solutions in those related threads, though IM not downgrading to 4.1... Bah this is taking forever

well, I didnt have to us JLCommander. I plugged it in to my pc and opened desktop manager while the hour glass was spinning. After going to connection settings and detecting, I chose the apploader and after the 10 minute reboot Im currently in the erasing apps phase. Hopefully this will work otherwise Im going to shoot my pc and the blackberry!

It's a sticky in the general blackberry forum - talking about freeing up memory to prevent SMS and logs from disappearing.

http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...ee-memory.html

All is good in blackberry land... What a thrilling way to spend my friday night.

Prior to the first installation I followed all of the free up memory thread stuff, but I deleted the LBS.alx file. Is this what caused the error?

I have downgraded from .42 to this official release .37, all is good. No problems so far on ANY issue!

Does MMS works with this release
 

can someone give this a try
