Thanks,

Apparently my carrier doesn't have an OS version higher than v4.2.2.312 available, but I still wanted to try to update anyway.

However, I'm having problems getting DM to prompt me to upgrade my phone. I installed the new version of DM (4.6) to my PC, rebooted and deleted the vendor.xml file as specified in this thread. When I connect my BB to the USB and run DM, I don't get a prompt to update the OS. I checked in the Help>About>Device Software tab in DM and the latest OS is not listed. Any suggestions?

FYI, according to my BB, I'm running v4.2.2.170.

So, you installed Desktop Manager. Did you ALSO install the OS itself to the computer? Do that and then remove vendor.xml again and try it again.

Working now!

[wingtiptom]

After the upgrade, it seems to be working fine now

[Conman13]

What does the new OS 4.5 have newer or better than the OS 4.2?

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ( I am on AT&T by the way)

Thanks,

I was able to fix this today..

1. I lowered the resolution on the camera to medium (ATT apparently does not support more than 600kb)
2. I sent my self an MMS (from the same phone to the same phone).

It has been working since then.. tested this on both phones and it worked.

New to the forum, tons of awesome info here. I have a serious problem tht I hope someone can help with.
I updated my 8310 to 4.5.0.55 last week. Everything seemed to be working fine. I needed Docs To Go Premium for work (and they paid for it ) so I bought that and installed with no problems. I tried to create a document, though, and my BB said there isn't enough memory to do so. I can open files, but I tried to do a simple edit on an Excel field and it said there isn't enough memory to even do that.
Went through John's thread for freeing up memory, did everything he said (plus deleted all of the non-english modules for Docs To Go), and I still only have about 2.5 MB. Cleaned out my messages, didn't help. Cleaned the cache on my browser, didn't help.
The weird thing is that other than the Docs To Go problem, I've noticed nothing abnormal.
I'm using an 8310 on AT&T.
Any ideas? I'm stuck.

ok well i decided to upgrade my AT&T 8310 and now i have a brick! it displays error 507 and have tried 3 times to reload the newest OS and still nothing. I did the wipe with JL and still nada. can anyone offer any advice?

507 just means no OS. JL_cmder's wipe feature is designed to display a 507 error on the device. Just plug in and run application loader to load the OS. If that doesn't work, is there a specific error you're getting?

Guys does anyone feel that 4.5.0.55 is little slow? after my upgrade from 4.2 i see that my berry is lagging and my battery is draining faster than usual.

John, i was able to fix it. i guess i pre paniced and didnt follow the instructions on how to reload the OS. i tried to load too many things at once. i'm loving the new OS. now if i could get a theme that i like, i would be happy

[sandsjh]

what are the chances of going from 4.2.2 to 4.5.0.81 [1] crashing my theme and [2] modifying all of my options? I will use desktop manager and not JL Commander...

Ok quick question, was the latest upgrade supposed to give html email? I was waiting to see since saturday, finally got an html email and it looks exactly like it did before?? Do I have to install anything else? Activation something? I have video and docs to go and it shows newest OS but no html email :(

[Crisberry]

FWIW

I recently downloaded the latest OS (.55) for my 8310 per instructions and links here. At first it did not want to go. Gave an error. Did it again and it took a little while but it loaded and all is well. I now have a video camera which I wanted. All else looks good. My wall paper remains and as all other information I had. Not slower but not any faster either.

Cannot tell much difference except I like the default font better. As soon as my media card gets here I can start using my video cam. Just wanted to give a successful download report.

I upload pushed the .55 OS in my Rogers 8310 and getting it in wasn't a problem but initializing it taking forever..

Got tired of fighting with my BB so I downgraded back to 4.2 -- will wait for the AT&T release. I used Crackmem when I reinstalled the OS, though, which really takes a lot of the hassle out of memory optimization. I'd recommend anyone who is installing a new OS use it.
