Instructions for installing on ANY carrier's 8300:

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.

To find previous versions of the OS for this device, click http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...east-asia.html

Note: Preinstalled wallpapers and folder icons are not included in this release.

This would be for GSM devices, yes?

[John Clark]

Since there are no 8300 CDMA devices, yes.


CDMA devices are 8130, 8830, 8330.

What media player bug?

[asdfwerew]

I am also not aware of any media player bug, but I really haven't had it for that long either.
Any noteworthy changes from the previous .52 release?
Would anyone do me the favor of checking if it has the spanish VAD engine? Just check in the /java folder for net_rim_vad_engine_resource__es.cod and net_rim_vad_engine_resource__es_MX.cod and let me know if they are there. I'd do it myself but I'm at the office.
Thanks

[John Clark]

Since this is a "MultiLanguage" edition it will have spanish included.

[asdfwerew]

Not necesarilly. Last version had spanish all-around except for voice asisted dialing, as it was missing those two .cod files.

i beleive the media bug refers to when you have to reformat your media card, thus losing all content on your card. I have the 4.5.0.52 OS since last week too and had this issue.

I wonder if this OS is the same or different, only different in the file is "TIM ITALY" part at the end.

Anyone have any issues so far?

Only thing i'm experiencing is how the new OS will not support the today plus theme, i will eventually get text messages stuck on the home screen, even after i open and delete it. anyone know a fix for this?

No need to lose everything. Check the sticky in the media forum about card scanning problems and it will show you how to fix the card issue.

Ok I ran into an issue. I had a call which I answered and as I hung up the phone froze. I took out the battery, put it back in and then it freezes at 89% verifying security software. What can I do to fix this issue?

If anyone wants the preloaded wallpapers/folder icons you can get them here:

I just installed .37 2 days ago- bad timing on my part. Is there an area in the forums that discusses the differences between the two? You say to dump .37 and load .52- is there any advantage to the newer version other than being newer?

Thanks,
John
