Installing: OS not showing!
1 Attachment(s)
When attempting to downgrade/upgrade my OS, I've encountered a problem: the OS doesn't show!
It happens with all other phones (Bold, Onyx, Storm) currently and I've reinstalled both DM and OSes. Would anyone have any clue?! It's frustrating. :( |

Let me know if this works for you. If not then try: Go to Start > Run and type cmd <press enter> Type cd c:\ <press enter> Type del /s vendor.xml <press enter> Then run apploader.exe |
Raptor -that won't work; that only looks in the root. It is much more difficult to have it recursively check each sub folder.
|
Worked for me. I created a vendor.xml file and put it in a random directory. It managed to locate the file and delete it.

Code:
"/S" == Delete specified files from all subdirectories. |
Problem was I didn't have Vendor.XML in ANY subdirectories :) so it gave an error message. This works.
|
I've verified that I've deleted the vendor.xml from all directories using the proscribed method and I'm having the same issue. I downloaded and tried both versions .464 and .509 and get the same results - nothing shows up in the loader.exe.
Any idea when AT&T may be getting 5.0? |

Thanks a bunch, Raptor! I guess there was a hidden vendor.xml file. What was cause that to happen? |
I'm not sure why, but Desktop Manager seems to put a hidden vendor.xml file into the directory even if you delete it sometimes. This just forces it out.

Are there any other files, folders, or other items I should be looking to delete? Could this be a Windows 7 issue? I can't imagine why, but I have to ask. |

Hello guys, i'm new to BlackBerry and this is my first software upgrade.
So far, it's not looking good. I tried everything described on these and crackberry forums. I tried installing it with DM installed, without DM. When the DM is installed, everything regarding automatic updates is off. I deleted the vendor file and scanned for other vendor files (there were none). I pretty much tried everything. And, EVERY time i start the Loader it just offers me to update my apps - like the new device software i previously installed doesn't exist. My carrier doesn't have BlackBerries and doesn't offer BlackBerrs internet service. The phone is unlocked (probably with MFI multiloader - don't know for sure, i got it unlocked). The other day, i used that Mass Storage fix to get mass storage running. Could that, or the multiloader be the problem. Also, since i don't have BIS, i can't even think about upgrading the OS with DM, right? PS: I'm on Windows 7 PSS: Posted this in another thread in the forums, but then realized it wasn't a Bold subforum |

Ok, i'm sorry. I wrote the text in the other section and then realized that the section isn't for my BlackBerry. My apologies
|
I opener a thread where I list what to do to get Os5 using Windows 7 on a BB with a SIM card that does not have ad Internet Service!! ;)
