Downgrade to OS 5 From OS 6 on Blackberry Bold 9650

My phone is a Blackberry Bold 9650 and yesterday I upgraded my device software from OS 5 to OS 6.  Unfortunately I do not like the way OS 6 operates.  Does anyone know how to delete OS 6 from my Blackberry Bold 9650 and then reinstall (downgrade) the OS 5 operating system on it?  I went into a Sprint Store and was told that they did not know how to do it and that they did not believe you could "downgrade" from OS 6 to OS 5.  Any help and suggestions would be appreciated!!!!!  Thank you in advance for any advice or help you can give me!!!
Sincerely, Helen Flax

Your Sprint people are silly..,
1. Download and install the older version of the OS.
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=FC3CF452D3DA8402BEBB765225CE8C0E
You want to select the 9650 device and scroll DOWN to the link to download the 5.0.0.1030 Multilanguage software.
(which has this filename:  File name: 9650_512AMEA_PBr5.0.0_rel1675_PL4.2.0.451_A5.0.0.1030_Sprint_L.P.exe
3. Install the older OS to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
5. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • Get notes out of contacts from blackberry bold 9650

    i use the notes section in my contacts extensively and as i am researching a move to an Phone or Android, want to find out the easiest way to transfer the notes section from the contacts. VZW is telling me they can only move the contacts and not the notes. Help!

    you can sync to Outlook on a PC with desktop manager and then sync that Outlook info to a different phone

    No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device. That's not supported by Apple.

    Downgrading to an earlier iOS version is not supported by Apple. You will get no help with this direct from Apple or here.

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • Can't find iPhoto photos after downgrading to Snow Leopard from Lion

    I had my photos on my External Hard Drive being used as a backup for TIme Machine.
    After downgrading to Snow Leopard from Lion (my computer was running rediculusly slow likely due to being so close to the minimum requirements), I can not access any of my Time Machine dates prior to the date I downgraded. I have reinstalled Lion to try to access the files that way, but am having issues finding my old photos.
    Any help would be appreciated as I've got about 15000 photos of my kids on there.

    There are issues with iphoto which changes versions..
    I would strongly recommend you do an archive of the TC before you do any more playing.
    I presume the TC is the only place you have these photos stored??? So your entire library is hard disk erase from total annilahation.. not good!!
    Load a real utility into Lion.. archive is not present on the new version.. why apple why??
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    You can then do a full restore to an external drive.. or something fancy..
    Pondini is the saviour here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
    There is a specific section on iphoto and its pain.
    I strongly suggest you read the entire section from Q14-18 so you actually understand what TM does.

    What specifically is your performance issue? I haven't really seen any difference between iOS 7 and iOS 8.
    Here are some general performance suggestions from the Internet:
