Thanks

The link to download is in the first post of this thread.



I have a question for everyone else:
I have AT&T with unlimited txting but no data plan. right now I can send unlimited mms txts and I don't get charged any data fees. If I upgrade will I still be able to do this? I have seen messages about people not be able to use mms txting? I can't find ay info on this really, but what I have found is that it's something to do with service books?? I'm pretty unsure about BB stuff.... Any help would be GREAT! I really want video, but I also don't want to loose my mms capabilities. I traded in my Pearl with hopes that I could get video on the curve 8( help...

I've read that, but mine doesn't reboot, just locks up. Then I have to turn it off then back on to get it to work. The first thing I did was take out my media card, and I thought that helped because my phone was a little faster, but, even with it out, it still locks up. I'm thinking about trying to wipe out my OS on my 8310, then reloading without the media card in it. I just don't know the safest way to load an operating system up that is already on the device. then I could reformat my media card with the new OS. It was formated with the old.

Might help????

So I tried this upgrade, the first one I've done, and received a fatal error please try again about 15 minutes in. Now my phone has a white screen with a 507 error on it.

I have desktop 4.6 on vista.

I've uninstalled, reinstalled the os on the computer and removed vendor.xml but I do not get prompted to start the upgrade again.

I've tried the application loader but I get asked for a password. I didn't have a password on the device. Any ideas what that could be?

I'm new to BB.
My current 8310 is now 4.2.2 with BES and I'm thinking about upgrading to 4.5-4.6.
What I want to know is, is it safe to upgrade?
I mean, is upgrading like wiping the handheld? All the data and BIS activation.
Is upgrading to the new OS makes me need to do the enterprise activation again to get connected to the BB server? to make sure.

Yes it is safe. The upgrade process will do a backup (do one manually first if you want to feel super safe) of your device, erase the unit, install the new OS and restore your data and 3rd party apps. It takes anywhere from 30-45 minutes. Just follow the directions to the letter at the top of this thread and don't unplug your berry until it is complete.

You will need to run the Enterprise Activation again so let your BB Admin know what you are doing.

So I ended up using jl commander on my handheld, then the application loader would continue without asking for a password.

I see that there have not been very many instances like mine but for anyone thinking of doing this I reccomend downoading jl commander first and be ready to use it. I found a link in an earlier message.

I have three more devices to do so I'll chime in if I see this issue again.

Is it me, or is it time for a new OS!? I don't know about you guys, but at least a couple of times a day, I check JSanders post to see if there a new one. I'm TOTALLY addicted to upgrading. And I owe it all to you JS! Thanks a lot. Pretty soon' I'm going to have to attend BBAnonymous meetings.

Guys, I`ve been reading the posts, but I still have to ask ..

After upgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.5 I cannot find on my 8310 3 things: Browser, Maps and YM.
Any ideeas ?
1.Do I have to reinstall the OS ?
2. Do I have to reinstal only the missing parts, and if Yes from where ?
3. IS there a posibility that this apps to be allready on the phone and I cannot see/acces them (I know about the "show all" option ) ) ??

And Yes. It is working a bit slower. My media Card is 1gb and its almost empty so I do have a lot of space on it..

Thanks ! Excelent day!

George.
