I would try a different computer. My guess is that this is a USB port problem not a BB problem.

tried it on another computer running windows 7 and same issue, will try later on one running xp and see if there is the same issue

Tried on another computer with windows xp and same issue, I've updated the flip n the bold from same computer with no problems. I'm stuck, do you think I need a new mother board.

Sounds like you need a new BB.

I am using Leaked OS 5.0.0.610 and it is fine...

Have u tried using BBSAK V1.7
Blackberry Swiss Army Knife.. I used that to install my OS and back up my 3rd party apps.

hey guys.. im still running v4.6.1.168 and im thinking to upgrade.. I dont have any probs so far but.. An upgrade it has to be good..

Im kinda ''if its not broken dont fix it'' person.. But i would like to hear your opinions..

Thanx..

My speakerphone is extra sensitive since I have upgraded to this build... Its to the point that when I sit the phone on a table when using the speaker I get major feedback. The only way to fix it is to turn the speakerphone down but at the point I can't hear the caller.. Anyone else having this issue. Is this due to the new OS is something wrong with my phone?

tried BBSAK but same issue at same location when I try to load OS.

start a new thread.

make sure you tell people exactly what you've done to your phone so far.

Well I'm coming from an ooooolllddd 5.0 beta and I have to say this has been a horrible upgrade.

New problems:

Press shift+space to scroll up in browser, now you are selecting text even though you are no long pressing shift.

Standby/Lock buttons = really!? Why!?

Opera stopped working (could select anything) until I put a new version on, I used it as a backup browser/second window...

Old problems not addressed:
Clicking a textbox on a web page wrong ie click and move the ball a slight amount and when you press shift for a capital letter you are no longer typing text in the text box.

Weird text problems on beejive (not sure if this is beejives issue or an os issue, but I am leaning toward os) when you move the screen left with the trackball text can disapear and if you receive an IM all lines that were there literally disappear, pressing menu select text so it rerenders things and you can see what disappeared.

I'm sure there are more, I literally have yet to see something that has been improved...

Do you have a BlackBerry data plan on your wireless service plan?

YES. AT&T

Then you missed something in the above instructions.

Make sure you are NOT using Desktop Manager to do the upgrade.

Make sure you deleted ALL instances of the vendor.xml file.

Hi All,
Newbie here! Just got a 8900 and in Malaysia. Was reading everywhere on the OS upgrade but still not sure how to go about it. I got the latest 5.01 DM installed and when i connect my 8900 to my PC, in the DM i clicked application loader then, update software (start). Then I got this message "no software update is required for your device". My current version as found on the hardware is v4.6.1.250
Or it is i should download the OS v5.0.509 (which I am doing now frm the official blackberry website) and then delete the vendor.xml file located in c:program files>common files>research in motion>apploader. and do it via th the step by step guide in berryreview (ua\nable to post the link)

Please enlighten me. Thanks

[John Clark]

Just scroll to the top of this thread and follow the instructions EXACTLY in the first post of this thread. It's all right there. Don't use desktop manager.

Thanks John, updated and everything went smoothly. Just that now I cannot read any other language (like Chinese and Thai Character, which I can with the last version of OS). Just wondering how shall I go about it if I want to add in order for me to read these languages? after much reading, I think v5.0.509 does not support east asian languages.

In that case can i just go back to v4.xxxx. Do i just repeat the same, d/l the v.4xxxxx then double click and remove the vendor.xml file and double click on loader.exe?
