Software For BlackBerry® Curvexxx8482; 9300 smartphone BlackBerry Handheld Software v6.0.0.3049 (Asia)

Package Version: 6.0.0.3049
Consisting of:

• Applications: 6.0.0.706
• Software Platform: 6.6.0.246
• File name: 9300jAsia_PBr6.0.0_rel3049_PL6.6.0.246_A6.0.0.706_ Vodafone_Essar_Limited.exe
• File size: 149.95MB

Note: The Software Platform and Applications version numbers can be found under Options-About screen on the handheld.
Download the OS file here: https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/D...356FCC56D801D1

Instructions to install, regardless of carrier:
1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Vista/Win7 users: In the apploader folder, simply click on "Compatibility files" to see the actual Vendor.xml file. Once you've got that - simply delete the vendor.xml file there (even if you've deleted or think you've deleted it in the folder previously).
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

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 screen with an hourglass or status bar for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.

I have loaded this version and I'm disappointed that it doesn't fix an alarm bug. When the phone is switched off, the alarm does not sound, it only switches the phone on - that is not good enough to wake up a person.

I wonder what was fixed in this OS version?

Yes it does just delete the "vendor.xml" file as per instructions.

I have installed this and I'm currently having problems with its memory usage. :( my memory keeps decreasing. From 35mb to 20mb. Already searched about it and no clear solutions so far. Help please. How do I clear up the "Other" on the Application Memory?

I downgraded to the previous version to avoid this problem - memory issue.
