I mean that this is my first Berry, and my previous phones haven't had the upgrading capability this one has. I know the upgrade OS software comes from RIM, but will there be any problems using an upgrade version from an overseas service provider? Like functionability not working on a domestic network?
I hope I don't sound stupid (please keep the eye rolling to a minimum), but having a smart phone is a new concept for me and I'm trying to learn as much as I can by asking questions.

No, as long as the OS is for the same device type it doesn't matter. You will lose no functionality. Its all the same code.

Awesome. Thanks, John and fiestito.

Installation Tries: 2
Installation Issues:

• Received error message "An error has occurred during the update of your blackberry. This was proceeded by a no screen activation and just the red light on. This resulted in a requirement to do a battery pull and reboot the computer.

i just installed it, its a little slow, but aesthetically pleasing. however, now when i put my memory card in and turn on my phone, it will get all the way to the security checks, and then reboot itself, as long as i have my memory card in, it just keeps rebooting, it will not stay on. its fine without the memory card though. i just bought this card, and it worked fine until i installed the OS, whats going on!?!?! how do i fix that?

You have a corrupted file on the card. Make a backup of the card, reformat it in OS 4.5 then move back one folder at a time untill you find what file is causing it.

I get hourglasses from hell (ok I expect that at first)
I cant use ANY messengers...
I get two Tzones always (More if I resend service books)

I've been told to call and talk to tmobile about it, but does anyone know what to do? (I dislike CSRs)

Im having the same problems with the two t zones, but i have like 4 browsers, and repeats of other applications too!

you will need a microSD card reader or adapter. if your phone will not support the card in USB mode, the only way to back up data is to take the card out and use a separate reader w/ your computer.

if you dont have a reader, they are pretty cheap. when im in a pinch, i will use my digital camera (which takes full sized SD cards) and then i will also use a micro to full sized adapter.

good luck.

ColorPearl causes this. Delete ColorPearl and install the new "BlingBall" app. There is a sticky thread at the top of this forum for it.

John,
I deleted ColorPearl and installed BlingBall like you said.
(actually I installed blingball before update to 4.5 and remove colorPearl after upgrade)
anyway, Still have the same LED problem even the application list in the phone does not show colorPearl anymore.
Any idea!?

Anyone had a problem with an 8100 randomly turning off after this update?

[Kamau]

Got a nice size problem hoping I can get help on.
I got the .124 OS and was installing it normally. After the program had erased all the stuff out of it, and was about to install the new OS, I got an error message saying there was a fatal error. When I closed and restarted it, the phone went blank like the battery had been removed (showing & doing nothing). I did a battery pull and also removed the SIM card, but now the led is flashing (2 quick red flashes, a couple seconds delay, followed by another 2 quick flashes in red).
If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it as I am expecting an important call on it later this evening, and they don't have an alternate number to reach me at.

[Elijah86]

My radio has turned it self off 2 times since I have installed this OS. other than that working good.

[Kamau]

Anyone?!

No, my update is working well, knock on wood.

[kramitman87]

so i did the update on my 8100 from the 4.2 OS and now i frequently lose service until i turn off wireless and then turn it back on. this is becoming very frustrating. Has anybody else been having this problem or is there anyway that i can fix it. Lastly is there anyway for me to restore my phone to the OS that it originally came with?
thanks for any help
