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...93E4F3BB068C22
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...E4F82F9F00E7D4
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
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
