Default Wireless Upgrade?

Please Login to Remove!

Is there a wireless upgrade feature in the storm? I know when I had my curve I did an os upgrade and actually stumbled upon the wireless upgrade feature under options I beleive, But I was looking for it on the Storm I couldn't find it under Options anywere, am I looking in the wrong place or is it not available. Also what is this option for anyways?

For some reason, some of the Storms did not come with that option. A friend of mine didn't either. There are instructions out there to enable that feature on your Storm. I'll see if I can find them again and post them..........

Okay, here is the fix (it works, I've seen people do it):

some phones have the wireless update option in advances options, if not, do this:

options > advanced options > service book
highlight 'provisioning [otasl]' (make sure it is [ORASL] and not [PROVISIONING]
menu key > delete > menu key > undelete

repeat that a few times then go to the home screen again then options > advanced options and there should be a new thing that says wireless upgrade at the bottom


I found it in these 2 threads:

I have the wireless upgrade option but when I press the Check for Upgrades button, I get a "!Unable to send request for available upgrades" error.

There is no upgrade available yet.

There seems to be a new thread just about every day claiming that updates are available, but until they are posted @ vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry nothing's official
