This download is from Hutchison but will work on ANY carrier's 8820 model BB. (Not 8800 or 8830)

1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded. (Vista users be sure to right click on the .exe file and select "Run As Adminstrator.")
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
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 white screen with an hourglass 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.

All,
I have a BlackBerry 8820 that I want to put 4.5 on. However, I'm on a Mac and PocketMac won't recognize the .exe file. I'm trying to unlock the Vendor Themes as well as load the new OS on my 8820. Has anyone had any luck editing and transfering the file using a Mac?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Matthew

Get a PC to upgrade your OS, or use someone's that you know like a friend or family member. RIM does not officially support Macs.
