Black berry software update

I wish to enquire if there is a means of updating my black berry phone OS manually other than via internet while connected through black berry desktop software suite? Cos this process takes time and keep breaking or terminating in the process.
Thanks

Sure, I use to follow this procedure:
Download the OS file here for example: BlackBerry Torch 9860 - Firmware-Updates & Support von Vodafone
Instructions for installing on the almost all BB models:
1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Vista/Win7 users: In the apploader folder, simply click on "Compatibility files" to see the actual Vendor.xml file. Once you've got that - simply delete the vendor.xml file there (even if you've deleted or think you've deleted it in the folder previously) and voila, it will allow you to update to the newly installed OS!
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 may take up to 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 black "BlackBerry" screen with a status bar 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.

BLACK BERRY ON IPHONE

Is there any blackberry software available for the iPhone?

My phone is hacked anyway, I am using it in South Africa, so that is not a problem. Do you know of any black berry software?
1) Blackberry is a proprietary system. Nothing but their software works with RIM
2) We cannot support hacked iPhones.

I have updated OS to 10.3.2.556 on black berry Z30

Hi friends, I have updated OS to 10.3.2.556 on black berry Z30 3 days back. When ever i have restart the phone all messages ,calls and whats app and whats app messages getting deleted. Please help me to fix this issue. Thanks and Regards,Sateesh Repalle.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:Article ID: KB36747 All data is deleted following a manual restart of the BlackBerry 10 smartphone and a blue LED is displayed during boot upHopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you. Otherwise, the most common thing to do after an update that results in issues is to perform an OS reload. Sometimes, the update processes have errors and such...with a reload often curing the issues. The official methods, which will be controlled as to what exact OS versions you are offered:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-Functions-and/How-to-Reload-your-Blackberry10-O...The unofficial methods, which are cleaner, and allow you to choose an OS version that perhaps your carrier (or whoever it is controlling your offers) has been slow to approve:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...http://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-leaked-beta-os-f395/bb10-os-archive-943672/Of course, before you start any of this you will want a good backup via LINK, a manual copy of your Device Memory to your PC, and full documentation of your configuration (account credentials, added apps, configurations, etc.). Sometimes, restoring from a backup returns to the device the very corruption one needs to eliminate, and reconfiguring from scratch can resolve that.
Good luck and let us know!

I just downloaded the recent Maverick Software Update onto my Macbook Pro 15" and when the download/reset finished, my screen was completely black and I have not been able to get it back since. Help?

My computer had been wanting to do a software update, with what I believe was the Mavericks Software, for a few weeks but I had been putting it off. When I finally decided to install the update onto my Macbook Pro 15" today, my screen went completely black and I haven't been able to get it back since. The computer still turns on, I can tell because my caps lock key still glows when I press it and my volume buttons still make sounds when I press them. However, I cannot see anything on the screen. I don't even get the grey start up screen when I reset my computer. I have tried the SafeMode Restart where you hold Shift while it is restarting and the Display Reset in which you hold Command + Option (alt) + R + P until you hear the start up noise twice, and neither have worked. Any other advice on what I can do to get my screen back without having to send my computer away to be fixed?

Try a SMC reset:

Software updates causes black screen on macbook

The laptop is an Apple Unibody MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo, processor - 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Memory - 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. OSX 10.9.1 Maverick.
The Macbook prompts software updates in which the macbook is supposed to restart after the software installs. I’ve received this ‘Install software’ prompt twice since I’ve had this macbook, purchased 12/16/13 delivered 12/20/13.
After each software update the macbook doesn’t restart, there’s just a black screen, but the power light is on. I’ve had to zap the pram in order to get the computer to work. The latest incident happened after the macbook prompted a Firmware update. The Firmware software installed (I thought) then there was an odd, high-pitched squeak sound and the screen went black, same as the last time. I once again tried zapping the pram, but this time I had to try it 3 times before the computer came back on.
When I check the software updates, under the title “Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days” it indicates that the Firmware did actually install on the date of the last black screen incident (Dec. 30th), BUT above the titled window “Updates installed in the Last 30 Days” is another window titled “1 Update Available” and that window contains the 2 firmwares that supposedly installed on Dec. 30th - SMC Firmware and EFI firmware. If these 2 firmwares supposedly installed on Dec.30th, why does it show that they are still available for download. I have to assume that they didn’t actually install, and that I going to have to hit the ‘update’ button to install them, but I just know that I’m going to get that black screen again. Does anyone have an answer to this problem.
I should also add that I've only used this macbook with the power cord, but the battery is losing power, it's now at 96%, from 99% when I first got the macbook.

Lion has been causing a lot of problems on older hardware, it killed a 4 year old 15" MBP on me.
Go back to 10.6, the stability of your business comes first.

How much data is being backed-up from each Mac? (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
Most likely, there just isn't room. Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't. Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).

N97 software update ready for black not white vers...

is anyone else in the uk amazed that Nokia have released the software update for the N97, but it is only available for the Black not white version of the phone?
I am truly amazed. Its not like they are different phones. . .is it?

I purchased a Nokia n97 in white and after 2 weeks my front screen wouldn't load and I couldn't connect to the internet,the phone I purchased was sim free and cost me 500 pounds,I checked for updates to rectify the problem because after reading on these sites it was a common problem and the update would fix it... Anyway there were no updates so i contacted nokia themselves and i got an email back saying
"We are unable to provide information on the features for future software updates or product releases ahead of time. All available information on our products can be found from the relevant support pages on our website.
Please note that unfortunately there is no information yet as to the release dates for the Nokia Software updater for the model N97 as product releases are country and market dependant."
wasn't the update supposed to ready for the 1st??...
i've since swapped the phone (after some faffing about) for a Nokia n97 in black,I turned the phone on and after 5 minutes I got a message saying important updates available,the firmware 11. was available after 5 minutes of me having the phone,i've not moved its from the same shop an i'm using the same sim,why send an email out saying they don't know when its going to be available,why not just put we've done it for the black we just don't know when its gonna be ready for the white!! so far i've had no problems but its only been a day!!

When trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

After updating with the latest software, when trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. If I blindly crop or edit the photo, when I exit edit mode, those changes have been made, but obviously this is unacceptable. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Software Updated to 10.4.6, no just a black RESTART screen at Start up

Big trouble with the upgrade to 10.4.6. Went through software update and it appeared to be goig fine until the error that the pkg had to be reinstalled because of an error. Then clicked off that and computer hung. Waited 20 minutes with no results (and could not do anything) so tried to relaunch the Finder to get unstuck. Then nothing worked, Held power button to restart, and siince then, cannot get past the black screen at start up.
Have restarted ok from the tiger disc and did a first aid disk repair with one fix to the hard drive, but then no change in the results. Looked at start up disks from the drop downs and saw that the HD says 10.4.6.
What options do I have? I have an ext HDD, but cannot boot off it. I could erase and reload everything, but I really want to get some files off the eMac's HD.
I have no other Mac w/firewire.
Thanks

Hi thetomkat4,
if you can follow Gullivers advice redarding booting in save mode and after repairing the permissions on your startup disk,
I'ld recommend you to install Tiger on your ext HDD, too. Or an a partition on your startup disk, in case you've made partitions.
My system is running in this manner, with the external always one system version "behind", so I can be sure that it will work. And if my normal startup disk will not work I can start my iMac from the external disk, pressing "option" on startup.
For updating your system always walk through a recommended and long tested method, which you can read here: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060403142321217
under the headline: Update process recommendation
Updating this way I never had troubles during update since Mac OS X 10.2.5 (where I began to work with OS X).
If you don't own the "killer-app" for system-troubles, DiskWarrior from Alsoft, think about to buy it. It's worth the price and if you do a search here on "discussions" you will only hear positive comments about this masterpiece of software. Running it before and after an update (it's on a bootable cd-rom) will eleminate all possible bugs in your system. I highly recommend it.
I hope that helps

Restart after software update -- always stalls at black screen!

Hello,
I've been having this problem for over a year now (see my other post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1224018&tstart=0).
The strange thing is, the same exact behavior is now happening on my MacBook Pro, in addition to my 24" alu iMac (where I first noticed it).
The problem: If Software Update prompts me to install a new patch, and that patch requires restarting, 99% of the time, when the system is restarting, it will hang at a black screen (seemingly right when the restart should be happening). The startup "bong" has not played yet. The system almost sounds like it is off, but it is not. It will stay there indefinitely. I then have to hold the power button to completely power it off, and then start it back up.
The patches do install OK, but it's completely annoying that the system doesn't restart properly!
Now that it's also happening on my MacBook Pro, I'm getting a little ticked off.
iMac7,1
Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
SMC Version: 1.21f4
MacBookPro4,1: MBP41.00C1.B03
Boot ROM Version: 1.27f1

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.
This isn't an issue of not waiting long enough for a full restart. Regularly I'll tell it to apply the updates and then go to bed, and when I wake up it's sitting there in this black screen state. Nothing works: moving mouse, pressing keys, or hitting the power button quickly. It's stuck. I have to hold down the power button so that it completely turns off, and then restart it. Interestingly, the patches always are applied. So this hang is happening after it has finished updating everything.
I don't think it's worth reporting to the feedback center, since I already do report the error every time it happens: the cmputer restarts, and it says, it looks like you ran into a problem. "Ignore" / "Report..." and I report it. I evn include my email address most times, and have never once gotten any feedback, even though I've reported this same thing happening over a dozen times.
It's pretty frustrating that I'm going to have to wait until the next patch is out, and I have time, and then schedule a friggin Genius Bar meeting to get this sorted out.
Carolyn, I will try your idea regarding fixing permissions with disk utility. I might also have to dig through the Console again to see if there are any clues.
The really annoying/weird thing is that it started happening on my MacBook Pro as well as the existing issue on my iMac. !

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

Crash during software update = black screen and no way to Restart

Had to rebuild my hard drive and system from original Leopard install CD.
Subsequently, initiated internet Software Update which transferred OK.
After Software Update restarted to finish installation the process locked up at "54% complete". Restarting to break out of frozen state, (what else might I have done?!) machine begins to come up but screen goes black then text/code at top of screen scrolling down to a message that I need to Restart but such is repeatedly unsuccessful + no way to open CD drive to perhaps begin again from scratch.
Machine is in a partially updated and therefor scrambled state. Suggestions anyone??

You can open the drive by restarting while holding down your mouse button, wired mouse only.
Perhaps you had the following?
You may be experiencing a Kernel Panic as seen and described in Apple doc. HT1392. If not, disregard.

I bought a new 5s and its front and back camera are not working, showing black image. My phone is IOS 7 updated, and some one insisted that its is software updation problem, and can be resolved by updating to IOS 8. Kindly suggest.

I bought a new 5s and its front and back camera are not working, showing black image. My phone is IOS 7.1.2 updated, and some one insisted that its is software updation problem, and can be resolved by updating to IOS 8. Kindly suggest.

I have the same issue on my iPhone 5s
I've closed the app and re-booted the phone several times but it did not resolve the issue.
Upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 did not resolve it either.
Erasing the iPhone and restoring from a backup did not resolve it.
I'm not sure what else to do.
