How To SPEEDUP & Update Your BlackBerry® 8320 with LATEST OS v4.5.0.110

[barrettrs]

Yeah so I am no longer a Blackberry Noobie as I have been researching and learning tons of new stuff. Anyways this guide will help all those Blackberry 8320 & 8820 Users to updated their existing Rom from V4.5.0.51 to V4.5.0.110 (Platform 2.7.0.90) which is the latest & best Rom currently available and it is now being deployed on AT&T America.

Instructions for updating on ANY 8320& 8820 (regardless of carrier)

1. Download the Blackberry Desktop Manager v4.6 by scrolling down the list and selecting Blackberry Desktop Software v4.6 Click here https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22

2. Download the Blackerry OS v4.5.0.110 for AT&T, scroll down the list and select Blackberry 8320 Smartphone click here https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=577BCC914F9E55D5E4E4F82F9F00E7D4

3. After both downloads have been completed....Double click and Install the Desktop Manager on your Computer. Then double click and install the Blackberry Os v4.5.0.110 on your Computer....Note install the Desktop Manager first then the OS v4.5.0.110 after.

4. After successful installation of Blackberry Os v4.5.0.110.
Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named “vendor.xml.”

NB....Vendor.xml who contain specific details from AT&T such as bootscreens, logos and operator data that is specific to them....Remember your gonna use this OS for Digicel or Lime so PLEASE DELETE "Vendor.xml" from the specified directory.

5. Plug in your Black Berry and double click on “Loader.exe.” It’s located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

SIT BACK AND WAIT......Better yet go watch a Comedy :eusa_whis

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.


Benefits of the new OS are as follows:

a. Faster bootup
b. Faster loadtimes for applications
c. The phone will multitask many more applications more FLUIDLY
d. Improved support for Youtube
e. Better viewing for HTML views on Blackberry browser

Post your results as usual....Oh my phone is much faster since the upgrade.

NB...This update is good for both the 8320 & 8820 Blackberry Models

Hail Ricardo, I ave updated mine with another newer version of the 4.5 OS which is v4.5.0.52 and so far it has increased memory (RIM has removed the default pics/images and ringtones) to allow this increase. It also has a better function with speed. Camera and media functions are much better and improved with more security.... Overall the v4.5.0.52 OS is stable and good 2 go........

Blackberry Desktop Software v4.7 is out:

Are you sure that v4.5.0.52 is the latest OS from Rim? Please check again as the latest OS posted recently on www.crackberry.com was the one I mentioned in the thread which is v4.5.0.110 so please state how v4.5.0.52 is greater that the current v4.5.0.110 update? Not bashing you still but please check www.blackberry.com and you will that AT&T has the latest ROM currently out for Blackberry Curves and v4.5.0.52 is not that Rom. :eusa_snoo

N.B. For those updating to v4.5.0.110, the Desktop Manager has to be v4.6 and not v4.7 which is built for the Bold & Storm Models.

Yow respec fi di guide, I used it to upgrade my bold (downloading the corresponding software for that of course). It took me less than 15 mins to complete the process, gonna check it out now.

[wolfman]

Which os u now have????

[Cloud]

I have 4.6.0.167, was contemplating between it and the one CW have but decided since I upgrading might as well get the newest an dun.

[wolfman]

when u upgrade please post what has been upgraded prolly i might think about it

[Cloud]

I have no idea wha exactly change, I just know that I got the bag of messengers in downloads folder now along with a help file thingy, I think some were in the bb messenger folder. At first I thought my bb messenger wasn't working cuz my friend added my pin but I didn't get the request. Now i'm wondering if it's cuz he added it before I got the service tho. Only got the phone on sat. and the service on wednesday so I wasn't all that familiar with the phone esp since I didn't check out much of the stuff as I was waiting for the BIS.

[wolfman]

O cool just wanted to know if any major diiffrence

[barrettrs]

No problem....I am glad to see you're quite SMART as you used to guide and fitted it to your Blackberry Bold....very INGENIOUS man :icon_cool.

I am particularly pleased that you chose the latest OS update as once you delete the Vendor XML file the phone will work on your current providers' settings with no issues.


Wolfman


O cool just wanted to know if any major diiffrence

Mi curious as well....did you experience any boost in the speed of the OS?

Post your results....mi curious so till.

[Cloud]

I didn't see a speed boost but before I updated I was unable to send a file to another phone via bluetooth and now that works. Also I wasn't able to browse using wifi, I was supposed to check if it would browse after I got my BIS but forgot and didn't check again til after the update but i'm guessing that's also because of the update.

[dwightmckie]

My version is now4.5.0.110. Seems to be running faster

[Cloud]

I haven't added any other program via Desktop Manager so i'm wondering, in a case where u have another program to install how that work, is it that the programs that were installed on ur machine but aren't on the phone get installed when u click the loader.exe or u have to go through the install program option and do u have to install the program first or u can just have the downloaded file and then tell the manager to install on ur BB?

[dwightmckie]

Download the file then use application loader in desktop manager to install.

[wolfman]

Yea but I prefer OTA apps

[Cloud]

Download the file then use application loader in desktop manager to install.
So that means running the loader.exe wont work how I say? I guess prolly nobody dont try it yet, gonna have to just experiment myself.


Yea but I prefer OTA apps

So far those are the only types i've used except when upgrading the OS.

[barrettrs]

Yea but I prefer OTA apps

I agree....Wolffy guess what I found an Iphone Theme for Berry's that is currently on Rogers' Network in Canada.

Here is a link for the download http://rogersmj.com/tech/blackberry/download/?theme=bPhone&mode=ota

You talking Curve or for the Bold

Don't think it was RIM that removed it, During the Update, you have the option of deciding what gets loaded on the phone, whether it be apps or the preloaded pics or videos.

You just un-tick what you don't want to be loaded on the phone during the early part of the update. I normally don't install those foreign languages packs that saves you memory too.

[wolfman]

What causes memory leaks? dont remember which os when i had the curve everything i did mem low! I just see things like call logs just disappear

[p.wade.r]

i don't think the blackberry OS should be giving such problems, they have scaled down there OS visual to avoid memory leaks,any think else is just bad programing.

[wolfman]

My bold tends to be around 20mb when i check

[p.wade.r]

Blackberries are noting with BB service and a memory card lol :eusa_danc

Curious has anyone tried the new Blackberry Bold Os v4.6.0.266 so far? Cultus, Wolffy or Noreik23....What is the consensus on this new OS so far?

[wolfman]

This is a official thing? So you retire now from checking out these os as them bus :p

[barrettrs]

This is a official thing? So you retire now from checking out these os as them bus :p

Well it is not yet official from what I hear....so for now I am just gonna read up some more about it on Crackberry.com cause if the upgrade is only for a few minor changes then I am gonna stick to v4.6.0.247 as so far it has been really stable with no issues....IF IT IS NOT BROKEN THEN DON'T FIX IT.....:eusa_whis

[♥Tεcнιε Priŋcεss♥]

Ok I am almost sure this is just my problem but lemme give it a shot...So I upgraded from 4.2 to 4.5 on my curve 8320...and then everything worked fine...the phone seemed faster and smoother BUT my facebook app 1.5 would not appear...Its listed in applications but the icon on the screen just wont show up...so I went back to 4.2 Cuz I cnt live without my Facebook. I would wanna go back to 4.5...does anyone have facebook 1.5 working on their 4.5 os????

Well a friend of mine had the same issue when he did the upgrade from 4.2 to 4.5 on his Curve 8320 but we solved the issue by completely uninstalling Facebook 1.5 from the phone, then we did a hard reset and then a full reinstallation of the original Facebook app and not the NEW ONE which is 1.5 as the newest Facebook will not run on the 4.5 OS.

[doc4computerz]

i also just upgrade to 4.5.0.124 and can anyone tell me the difference from the previous version?????

[dwightmckie]

i dont think that there is any difference to be mentioned

[barrettrs]

i dont think that there is any difference to be mentioned

Dwight what is Doc4computers asking to compare? Is it between Os v4.2 and 4.5 on the 8320? Explain a bit cause I sorta missed what he was saying?

[doc4computerz]

no i meant the diffrence between .124 and the .50 both of them is 4.5.0.....

[barrettrs]

no i meant the diffrence between .124 and the .50 both of them is 4.5.0.....

Oh zeen....Well there is nothing really SIGNIFICANT between that particular upgrade except for improved security features and a faster UI in respect to background processes that many times you will hardly notice.

[doc4computerz]

kk thanks caused i upgraded but didnt see any diffrence

[♥Tεcнιε Priŋcεss♥]

Why wont the facebook 1.5 work on the curve 0s 4.5?

[barrettrs]

Why wont the facebook 1.5 work on the curve 0s 4.5?

Well it is just not designed for that OS....but rather for the newer Blackberries such as the 8900, 9000 and 9530....I recommend you use the previous Facebook release before the 1.5 which should work fine for your 8320 berry.

[inque2181]

well facebook works on my sis 8320 running 4.5 just takes a bit longer to load the status updates but everything else is fine. Sometimes a backup-wipe-restore helps.

[♥Tεcнιε Priŋcεss♥]

Thnx much...will def try that...but for now I will stick with 4.2 and Facebook 1.5 because I actually prefer it over the original.
