if I were you I would find the carriers that have published OS6 from the above list, then use the blackberry.com website download page to download the OS installer.

  • New battery for Bold 9700????

    Hi
    I need a new original battery for bold 9700. I cannot find it in service centers or showrooms. The ones I ordered from online turned out to be fake ones. I cannot find any support for batteries on this website. There is no contact info or any detail. Where the hell is customer supposed to go? Can anyone help me out?

  • Update for bold 9700

    Hi, I am having serious issues with the wi-fi feature of my phone as the calls keep dropping while switching between UMA to 3G network. Not sure how'd I know if the new version gets released. The current ver that I am running is 5.0.0.330 Regards, Sumit.

    Device operating system releases are "released" by specific carriers once they have certified and trained their support techs, but still, you are able to load to any carrier's same model by following the instructions below.
    See the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.
    http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-9700-series-discussion-bold-2/224375-latest-os-9700-5-0-0-10...
    Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
    1. Download the 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."
    3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
    Some users might worry they will void their device warranty by loading an OS from another carrier. There is really nothing to worry about.
    Please read more information on that here:

  • Os 6 for Bold 9700

    Hi, will have to admit to being a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to technology but here goes...
    I've had my Bold 9700 for nearly a year now and today decided to dowload both Desktop Manager to back up my Blackberry but more importantly, haha, I quite fancied the new Os 6 that I had seen.
    I spent over an hour this afternoon doing this and I thought it went quite well...Desktop loaded and then tried the os6 and it appeared to go through ok...it told me I could now disconnect and away you go!!
    After rebooting the phone there was no difference to the appearence and after checking 'About' it looks like it's still holding version 5.
    I've gone back into Desktop and OS6 isn't there as an option to download.
    Where did it go wrong??
    I'm on Orange, if that's needed.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Apparently you didn't install OS6 to the device, although it might have appeared so.
    If you still want to, follow the directions here, see the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.
    First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
    1. Download the 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."

  • Blackberry messenger chat history not viewable for bold 9700 (onyx) OS 6

    As the title said. I have the problem of view chat history for the past few weeks. I have downloaded the latest version of bbm (5.0.3.22). The chat history has always been saved in memory card. There is a link that said "view chat history" in any chat window, but once I clicked it will keep loading for hours to no avail. Is there any solution to this problem?

    Found a solution in another forum!!
    * For Whatsapp: 
    in Whatsapp's Settings, disable saving the chat history.
    Connect your phone to your PC as USB unit. From the PC go to the SD Card and in the "databases" folder delete the Whatsapp folder. 
    Then eject and unplug your phone, go to whatsapp and enable chat history again. It should work!!
    * For BBM and Windows Live:
    in BBM and Windows Live Settings, disable saving the chat history.
    Connect your phone to your PC as USB unit. From the PC go to the SD Card and in Blackberry/im delete the "history" folder in both BBM and Windows Live. 
    Then eject and unplug your phone, enable chat history again. It should work!!
    If BBM doesn't work, connect your phone again and create yourself the folder "history". I'm sure Windows Live creates it again but not too sure about BBM. 
    Hope it solves your problem as it solved mine!!

  • Why can't I get 0S6 on Bold 9700 (Orange)?

    First post so sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere....
    I live in England and have a Blackberry Bold 9700 on Orange. For months now I've had the desktop software version 6 and have recently installed an update for it of 6.1; yet it always says there is no update available for software on my phone. However, when I took my phone in for repair they updated it to 0S6, so did they use a leaked version then? The reason I ask is because that phone eventually got replaced with the same make and model but came with the older software, and I miss OS6 but am wary of downloading a leaked version.
    So was just looking for some advice really - will Orange be releasing 0S6 for Bold 9700 or will I have to get a leaked version and if so how do I do this, hopefully without causing any problems to my phone?
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Hello,
    From a PC, you can install any OS package to a BB via this procedure (which includes a link only to official OS versions):
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
    KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Blackberry Bold-9700 Challenging N900 !!

    Hi Guys,
    I for one very strongly believe for a Audio-Visual product maybe also like a Cellphone the display has to be really good especially if you are also gonna use it as an entertainment device. So on the same lines I was having this discussion which later on turned out into an argument with one of my friend.
    Now he has a Blackberry-Bold 9700 which has a Transmissive TFT LCD, Which comes with a Light sensing screen and Backlighting. He was saying that the display of Blackberry Bold 9700 is better then that of the N900. Though the pixel ratio of the N900(800x480) could be higher than that of the Bold (480x360). He said that please do not boast about the high pixel ratio and the 3.5 inch screen real estate it could be all futile if it is not able to produce that quality pictures, with the Transmissive TFT LCD and the Backlighting the display of the BB Bold look a lot richer and lively then the N900. When I looked at it though I kind of felt no the N900 had a better display. But frankly speaking I couldn’t really decide, what he was saying also did make sense as the picture in the Bold looked very lively?
    What do you guys think? Does the Transmissive TFT LCD, Light sensing screen, backlighting makes the Blackberry Bold 9700 have a better display than that of the N900. This despite being a N900 forum I expect unbiased observations from Die-Hard Fans of the N900 who also equally appreciate a quality product from a competitor if it truly deserves some admiration and appreciation

    this is laughable...cant believe that anyone who understand the visibliiyt rations woule eveer prefer a device to NOT have 2.5 times the pixels and visiblity!!
    the n900 has 2.5 times the visibility of the bold.  the bold has the same resolution the iphoney has had until this year.  it only looks vibrant because of the colors and icon-styling.  the visibliliyt and clarity is no where near the same.

  • VCMA working on Blackberry Bold 9700

    Hi!
    FYI: I´ve tested the vCMA on a BB Bold 9700, is working fine...
    But the higher resolution of the display makes the fonts very small (on the logon screen).
    After the logon screen, it looks normally.
    But my question is when vCMA comes in a production state??
    This beta exists since a long time, without any changes, ...no updates etc...
    Updates for newer devices like the latest Blackberry Generation of Apple´s iPhone are welcome!
    Have anyone informations about this?
    best regards from Austria!

  • Bold 9700 won't let me sync with Windows 7 computer using BlackBerry Desktop Software version 6

    I just got a new computer with Windows 7.  I installed version 6 of BlackBerry Desktop Software.  It installed just fine.  When I connect my Bold 9700 to it the software recognizes the phone and has the list of model, PIN, and phone number.  It allows me to backup the device - but not sync it.
    I went to configure my sync settings.  It goes to the screen for me to set the sync options for calendar, memo pad, etc.  I selected calendar.  It asks me which application I'm using and I select Microsoft Outlook (I'm using Outlook 2010).  I choose 2 way sync.  So, up to this point it's working correctly.  But, then when I hit "next" on this screen it gives me an error message - the operation terminated unexpectedly.  I have no clue what's going on.

    I have the same problem and have tried one way sync's, deleting and re-entering the calendar entries made around the time the problem started. If it is a corrupted entry, I can't find it.
