Blackberry 8830 World Editiion Software

I have a Blackberry 8830 World Editiion Smart Phone. I need to reinstall the software and would like to get the latest version. When I get to "Select a Device" I see the 8820 but not 8830. I selected the 8820 software and installed it. Now when I use the device I can highlight all of the applications but not select any. The telephone still works but I can' access anything else.
Is this a coincidence or did I mess up by using the 8820 software?  If so, how do I get the 8830 software?
Thanks for the help.

  • Firmware Update for my blackberry 8830 world edition with Bell Canada

    Hi does anyone know if there is firmware update for the Blackberry 8830 world edition with the carrier being Bell Canada?  I am running version 4.2 and I know there is 4.5 but I am not sure if this applies the my phone with Bell Canada. When I boot up my desktop manager and checks for updates and says that there is no update.  I don't want to update if it is not necessary and not be able to run my blackberry.  If I am able to update where would I go to get the 4.5 update?

    You have to repair Desk Manager or unintall and reintall DM, but this time uncheck "Auto update" and anything that refer to "update" the reason why I mention that is because everythime you run DM, it goes online and check for newer version and put this file "vendor.xml" in the Blackberry Common Folder, and with that file in place, it will block the program from installing the newer version from a difference cell company..
    From what I see 4.2 is the only version that is up to date for a 8830...but if you have a 8820, you can update to 4.5. 

  • Blackberry 8830 World Edition -- won't play internet video

    I cannot get my Blackberry 8830 World Edition to play internet video, such as YouTube videos, etc.
    When I click to play them on my phone, I get this message: 
    "a problem occurred when trying to render page"
    Can anyone help?

    If I'm not mistaken, you need OS 4.5 to do that and OS 4.5 has not been "officially" released yet despite what RIM tried to suggest in an email they sent out the "Blackberry Owners Lounge" members a month or so ago. I'm running the latest beta of OS 4.5 and it runs Youtube vids with a small tweak.
    Unfortunately, you'll probably just need to wait until RIM finally gives us 4.5 officially.

  • BlackBerry 8830 World Edition V5 upgrade?

    Does anyone know if there is an ETA on when the 8830 will be getting the upgrade th V5? I need flag for followup badly.

    Hello,
    If RIM has released it to the carriers, then they are in control of their own release cycle. No one who knows is truly allowed to release forward looking information such as you are requesting.
    Best.

  • Blackberry 8830 "world Phone"

    The Verizon Wireless guy in Boston told me that I was good to go with my "world Phone" in France...turns out that was NOT true and you can;t get a rise out of VW with repeated emails.
    Anyone know if Orange or Tel ?? can sell me a SIM chip and turn on the phone?
    I hear a LOT of bad stuff about AT&T from Apple users, but my friend uses His Blackberry from Italy with no problem. Just an FYI.

    Well, maybe your Verizon Wireless guy didn't quite tell you everything.
    If you stick with Verizon while there, you need to have a Verizon International Data Plan, or you need to use a local carrier SIM card in the device. Find any local carrier SIM for making calls and text. You will need a data plan enabled on that carrier for email and data.
    Or call Verizon and enable the international data, which will allow you to roam on those carriers.

    Thanks!

    Hello,
    The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
    1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
    2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
    3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
    4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
    5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
    6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
    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.
    If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
    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!

  • 8830 World Unlocking Issue

    I have a BB 8830 World Edition with Bell Canada that I purchased used for an extended trip to Europe. The SIM card provider for Europe tells me I must unlock the phone through the provider. Bell Canada tell me I do not have to unlock the phone. I went to an independent store and he tried to unlock the phone and said it is hard locked and cannot be unlocked.
    I'm puzzled on what to do. I don't want to arrive in Europe and not have the SIM card work. Does anyone have any experience with taking a BB 8830 to Europe without unlocking and having a foreign Sim card work.

    To see if the phone needs to be unlocked just insert a non original sim card in it.
    In case your 8830 is hard-locked you can use the link below to unlock

  • 8830 World Edition Address Book Problems

    I have an 8830 World Edition from Verizon...
    Now I know they have their own software on the phone, and I'VE UPDATED it as of 2 days ago. 
    When I put a new contact in my phone, my phone completely freezes and I have to shut off my phone and turn it back on to get it working again.  When the phone freezes, the little hourglass shows up at random, and that's it.  Once I turn my phone back on, my new contact is saved though.  This is a very irritating problem.  Any ideas of how to fix the address book?  Please help me.  Thank you all very much!
