What's the default memory on my VZW 8830? I'm assuming 64MB? Here's what I'm showing for status:

File Free: 2992310 Bytes
File Total: 47841280 Bytes
Does that mean I only have 2.9MB free with 47.8MB in use? What happened to the other 14MB I'm supposed to have?

[kjjb0204]

Just did battery pull. Free now showing 11275897, so 11MB free, but still thought the 8830 had 64mb default, not 48.???

hi
thanks for the guide and information! I have had my att 8310 for only a few days, tried to follow the steps to remove ptt from my device by deleting the two files from the java menu but nothing happened. Additionally I accidentally turned ptt on and now it is always running on my phone. Can anyone help me?
thanks

[John Clark]

After you removed the two PTT files from the java folder did you run application loader all the way to completion?

[peoples_flip]

Awesome, awesome post, thank you once again John Clark.

Thanks this has been great; but I need a little more help. It seems everytime I get a new phone its loaded down with shopping applications such as games, graphics, tunes, etc. Have you been able to identify which .cod's these are? They drive me nuts everytime . I just end up hiding them, but if I can remove it, well then I want it gone!!!

[John Clark]

Those are service books. You can delete them. They may come back by themselves, though. If so, just hide them.

This thread Rocks!

Ok, get ready for a dumb question: how doI install the BB OS on my computer? My BB only came with the DM software.

[John Clark]

It's all in the first post, my friend.

To Add All Themes:(we will remove the ones we don't want later.)

Navigate the the following location in windows explorer:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files

I'm getting stuck at this step. In don't have a Shared folder in my Research in Motion folder -- ??? All I have in my RIM folder is AppLoader, BBBI Drivers, Modem Drivers, RIMDeviceManager, and USB Drivers. It's a VZW 8830.

Grab the OS / install the OS to your PC from here:

I have this exact same problem. I have an 8130 that I got from Verizon 3 days ago. Initially, I went straight to RIM and downloaded the latest software. I got and installed a file called "Desktop Software v4.3 (English).exe". It was 215MB.

With that installed, I had no Loader Files folder. I searched my whole hard drive for blackberry.alx and *.cod and found none.

I followed the additional instructions in this thread, and followed the links which eventually took me to VZW's website and I downloaded the latest software from there. There were only 3 choices: Desktop Software v4.3 (updated 11/20/07), Desktop Software v4.3 (updated 11/13/07), and the VZAccess Manager software.

I downloaded the Desktop Software v4.3 (updated 11/20/07). That gave me a file named "Desktop Software v4.3 (Multilanguage).exe". It is 340MB. I installed it over the top of what I already had. Still no "Loader Files" folder or any .COD files.

What am I doing wrong?

[PeaceOut]

that's the regular desktop software.
You need to download the OS for your BB.

It's like downloading Microsoft Visual Studio then wondering where a certain project is. You have to download the individual project...or in this case the OS.

[StuartV]

That's great. Link? I've followed the links other people have posted and the DM and VZAccess were all I found.

[StuartV]

I should be more clear. I did go to the link at the beginning of the sticky on downloading the latest OS, but it took me to a page on BlackBerry.com that said it was for downloading for US Cellular customers. I'm with Verizon.
