Bold 9700 OS 6 update

I have a Bold 9700 and am on Virgin Mobile but have not yet been able to receive OS 6. Is there any way I can legally access the new software which will work in the UK and not brake my phone? Thanks.

Charli, Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Community Support Forums.
Yes, you can upgrade to OS6, legally, and without breaking your 9700.
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.
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: http://www.port3101.org/power-users/296-blackberry-os-upgrade-including-betas-myths-dispelled.html
Here are the instructions and the download link.
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.
http://www.avea.com.tr/Blackberry/Release6_0/OS/9700M_PBr6.0.0_rel2554_PL6.6.0.216_A6.0.0.576.exe
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.

Updated to DM 6 cannot connect my Bold 9700 anymore

Hi there. I'm new to the blackberry community. I got a Bold 9700 three days ago. I was using DM 5, provided with the phone. It was working great. Yesterday I've updated to DM 6. At first it worked perfectly, but today it just won’t work. It asks for my device password than it keeps forever "Connecting". I tried to uninstall it and install DM 5 back with no luck. I have a friend with a curve 8520, different carrier, different computer, experiencing the same problem. Can anyone help me please?

Hello,
I would recommend removing the battery to restart the BlackBerry smartphone and then trying to reconnect again.
Thank you

Bold 9700 - WiFi connection doesn't work after update

Hello,
I updated my Bold 9700 to OS 6.0 bundle 2475 . I'm using my phone connected to a wifi router that worked fine before update but now is unable to communicate.
The connection is ok (I can select my network in the list and the phone is connected) but the "Blackberry" icon doesn't appear on the main screen near the wifi icon and it's impossible to connect the phone to Internet or email.
Using 3G connection all work fine but I'm abroad and normally I use this wifi network on my apartment that works fine (I'm also using an iPhone that works great, it means that the network is ok).
Thanks, regards

No, just close it; it's a bug of this version, with Vodafone and other carriers, at least here in Italy.
Here we have another bug with the version: if you are connected in 3G and perform a search with Google Local BIS disconnects and the search returns an error; if you are connected with GPRS it works fine.
Can you experience this bug with your Vodafone?
Bye!

Can I install Blackberry 6 operating system in BOLD 9700? It now has 5.0.0.351. When I try to update through Desktop Software the installation stops with an error message "check internet connection"

Hey ganeshmenoka,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Try performing the update at www.blackberry.com/update to see if BlackBerry 6 is available.

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!

Can't get Facebook App to work on Bold 9700

I have used the Facebook app on my Bold 9700 the past couple of years. Recently, after an upgrade of the Facebook app, I can no longer get Facebook to work on my phone. I have installed and uninstalled the app numerous times. I have done many hard boots by pulling my battery. Nothing I try seems to work.
When I go to options>applications>add ons it shows that the Facebook app is downloaded onto my phone, but the Facebook application has disappeared from my Applications folder. If I uninstall Facebook, the Facebook app icon re-appears into the Applications folder. When I install the app again, it disappears from the Applications folder once again.
If I go to Blackberry World>My World.....Facebook shows as being uninstalled. If I click on just about anything in My World.....my phone crashes and has to reboot.
Some serious glitch going on. Is this my phone only or is anyone else having troubles with Facebook and My World after recent upgrades? Facebook is about the only app I use frequently and I would hate to not be able to use it ever again on my phone.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

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.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If you have used up all of your chances to enter the correct unlock code, there is nothing further you can do. Even if you happen to have now the correct code, it is useless. Only the factory can now (legally) unlock your BB. Typically, I've heard that the cost of having BlackBerry do this for you will be greater than the cost of just buying a new one. But, you are able to ask them...see here:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/programs/technical/incident.jsp
Note, however, that this process will start with a fee...
If you obtained your unlock code from somewhere but it was incorrect, your recourse could be with them -- however, they may well question why you exhausted all 10 attempts before contacting them.
Good luck!

Is the newer (the one that comes standard with bb bold 9790) operating system available to all BB bold 9700?

I've had a replacement BB Bold 9700 for a while now and only just found this forum, anyway at the moment it has the standard 9700 software (the one where it is just the five icons at the bottom of the home screen, and then you can press the bb logo and you get a dark screen with all the icons accessable on) but loads of my friends who have the BB 9700 have the newer software (I think that's the word, the one where it has the icons at the bottom but you can scroll through them sideways with things like frequent, media, etc and then you can expand each one of them upwards) but I haven't been able to figure out anyway for me to get mine to update to that. I have searched everything I can, I have the desktop software and everything but it says there are no updates available for my phone, adn when I go on the internet on my bb looking for updates to the system it still finds nothing... any ideas/is it just not possible to update on some BB 9700s? Thank you, Sarah

Ok, I did the thing where you can then choose your service provider and then it gives you a lit of the software, I chose to download the 6 one and it saves ine adn then does its instally thing (but not ure what exactly it is trying to install and to what) and then it's like restart your computer now for changes to take effect, so I restarted and thought then when I loaded the desktop software it mght finally update it but no, made absolutely no change, what am I doing wrong/how do I make it work? I know now for sure it's definitely available!!!

Bold 9700 V5.0.0.593 Read/Input Chinese Characters?

Hi
I used to be able to read and input chinese character on my Bold 9700.
Few days ago, I connected my device to the desktop manager and it prompted me to update my device os to V5.0.0.593 (Bundle 1022, Platform 5.1.0.147). Ever since then, I am unable to read or input chinese characters.
I've read through the forum, did whichever I can find, and crashed my blackberry a few times as I think I loaded some 3rd party modules. I managed to wipe out the whole device and reload EastAsia pack (which I did at least 3 times) but am still unable to have my chinese characters on.
Pls advice what else I can do.
Thanks!

By the way, it does not have the 'Simplified and Traditional Characters and Font Support' under the Application Loader...

New User Question - How to Sync Sent Messages from Bold 9700

I am running BlackBerry Desktop Manager 5.0.1.37 and the 'Reconcile Email Messages' option is disabled and 'Email' is not mentioned in 'Configure Sync'. I have a BlackBerry non-enterprise data plan with my carrier. My computer is running XP PRO sp3 and Office 2007 is installed My question is how do I sync the sent messages from my Bold 9700 back into Outlook 2007? Thank you in advance.

An alternative (for me) would be to *always and automatically* send a bcc to a specifc address of all my sent messages.
I cannot locate this option in the documentation.
Does it exist?.
Yes, in your BIS account setup for that email address. Edit the setup and you will see at the bottom a checkbox to automatically BCC messages.
Then, on your Outlook, set a filter for your incoming messages from yourself to be re-directed to your sent folder.
