Ok...I am attempting to take my 8830 BB and upgrade to OS 4.5 downloaded from Vodofone in Germany...the device is not currently activated (thus I felt safe in attempting this upgrade) and it is a Verizon handset...
The only updated application the desktop manager prompts me for is the Blackberry Maps everytime I follow the steps outlined at the beginning of this thread.
What in the world am I missing? I am sure it's operator error and probably something really stupid that I'm missing...I'd really appreciate some help on this one though because it's got me stumped!

1. Download and install the latest version of Desktop Manager (If there is one)
2. Install the new handheld OS you downloaded on your computer.
3. Delete the vendor.xml file located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader (this step is necessary every time an OS is installed from a different carrier other than what is branded on your BB.)
4. Plug in BB and open Desktop Manager. You should be prompted to upgrade.
PS: Just in case, back up your data so you dont loose anything. |
