so what is the exact filename of the OS file you downloaded and installed to your PC?

[Sherwin]

i downloaded from the 9530 bbv 5.0 (sticky threat) and the filename is:

9530AMEA_PBr5_1_.0.0_rel508_PL4.2.0.128_A5.0.0.328 .exe

i downloaded it at the Verizon Wireless website...

im trying it right know at a other (fresh and brandnew) pc...

grtz. Sherwin

[JSanders]

OK. And, do you have an active BlackBerry Data Plan on your mobile provider account?

[Sherwin]

no i do not have a (active) data plan...

now my BB9530 is running on
v.4.7.0.148(platform 4.0.0.181)

does someone knows how to use a hard reset or something... like how to wipe out everything on the phone?

[Sherwin]

btw i do have an VW (unlocked) phone so why can i not instal it with de DM?
it sais you have to be a member of something of the blackberry software *something*

why can i not use this

[JSanders]

The error reads like this?

To enjoy the latest functionality from the selected BlackBerry® Device Software Upgrade, you'll need an active BlackBerry® service subscription

You will see this issue if you do not have a data plan on your BlackBerry and you try to use Desktop Manager 5.0 to upgrade to BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 or greater.

Sorry, it's required now.

and... what if i dont want to use the DM, should i use the ''Loader'' and delete the Vendor.xml

i tried it on three pc's; two running on Windows 7 (one professional one home premium) and one running on Windows Vista ultimate...

wich OS are you using? (should i try it at XP?)


don't know if this helps...


now i get the error wich sais that the loader doesn't have any FW updates for my blackberry model... but is EXACTLY the same model als the firmware is created for. the DM does reconize my bb and wants to instal V5.0, but this isnt possible because i haven't got a data plan..

anny suggestions

[JSanders]

Try using the loader.exe file

Still got this message...

[JSanders]

So, you need a data plan.

[Sherwin]

but... on wich system OS does your computer run, and on wich did you instal the v5.0 for your blackberry, because im gonna try it again..!

on another pc!

[JSanders]

Mine is XP.
It doesn't matter which PC or system, just try doing the upgrade with loader.exe

no but XP does not have a Virtual Store and crap like that...:D

[JSanders]

ok.

Remember, you'll very likely need the BlackBerry Data Plan to perform the OS 5 upgrade.
