Help required with upgrading to OS5 on curve 8520

Hello everyone,
I'm using an unlocked version of the bb curve 8520 and want to upgrade my bb device os to v5.0. (current version- 4.6.1)
I tried using the application loader on the bb website (NA & India both) but it just tells me that my OS is updated and that i will be notified if there are any updates available. I would be really grateful if someone could help me update my os.
Solved!

Hello,
Your warranty is not endangered. You are free to use any carriers OS package on your BB. Your carrier may, however, refuse to provide you with support (including Warranty evaluation/service) until you fall back to their supported device OS level. But your warranty per se is not endangered.
Good luck!

  • Help required with (soundcard) connection / settings, thanks in advan

    Help required with connection / settings between a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum EX (soundcard) and a Creative DTT3500 Digital (5. speakers).
    The problem
    No sound from any of the speakers. (Exception can plug in headphones at front)
    Background
    My computer has been recently upgraded at my local computer shop and all programs re-installed (including driver update from Creative's website). However after reconnecting speakers and restoring the original settings I?m getting no sound from any of the speakers. I?ve followed all the available advice/instructions I can find on this website and manuals to no avail.
    Set-up
    Physical
    (Digital DIN) Speakers/decoder amplifier (DTT3500) connected to the (digital out) soundcard (Audigy Platinum EX) using minijack to DIN cable. (As per instruction manual)
    Software
    Creative Audio Consul ? setting as per instructions, however have tried variations in vain. (Note: above tabs there is a select device box with SB Audigy [A0000] in it ? only option. Just wondering what [A0000] means?)
    Your advice please. A simple step by step guide would be appreciated, many thanks in advance, Jon

    "My computer has been recently upgraded at my local computer shop and all programs re-installed (including driver update from Creative's website). "
    Do you have the original installation disk?
    If so, try installing THOSE drivers, ESPECIALLY if it worked before. Be sure to uninstall what is there now, first.
    Its natural for most people to want the 'latest' drivers for their hardware. However:
    After experiencing some difficulties with some CL 'updates' for certain products, I now avoid them UNLESS I am having a PROBLEM with the existing drivers.

    What is the size of your hard disk?  PSE 4 is a very old program and I suspect it is not able to access the entire hard disk on your machine.  Just a thought here.

    Help require with installing Adobe Acrobat onto my Macbook Pro Retina.
    I have successfully installed all of my creative cloud apps with the exception being acrobat.
    I cannot print from Indesign to PDF.
    I have unistalled, reinstalled and still no Adobe Acrobat.
    I now have to go back to Windows 8 and create the PDF's there.
    Any one know how to get around this issue?
    Thanks in advance
    Kelvin

    OSX has effectively killed the ability to print to pdf, (print to pdf eliminates most of the "Rich features" of current pdf).
    Export from InDesign, always, excpet for the 1% of the time where you know why print to pdf would produce a better result.

  • Can anyone help me with upgrading memory in my older iMac? I currently on have 1gb of memory so as you can imagine my machine is quite slow.

    Can anyone help me with upgrading memory in my older iMac? I currently only have 1gb of memory so as you can imagine my machine is quite slow. I check in my system profiler and it shows I do have a memory slot open. It is using a DDR2 and I was told that the latest are DDR3 and I need to find out if I can run that on my model number. This info came from a tech guy at best buy.

    That is what I needed.  You can upgrade to a maximum of 6gb of ram and need the following type:
    200-pin PC2-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.  You can easily find it online, here is an example: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_PC2-6400

  • Plz help me with Upgradation Tools

    hi Gurus,
    Can u help me with any upgradation tools..
    Regards
    Sahil

    Hi Sahil,
    Upgrade Projects can follow one of the 2 possibility.
    1. Technical Upgrade: in which the basis consultant will handle the same & transport the configurations & developments from 5.0 to 6.0. Subsequent to which functional consultant & ABAP er will do the necessary change in configuration or further configuration & ABAP ers will do necessary developments required.
    2. Traditional ASAP mythology: which would refer as new implementation as a whole.
    STEPS IN TECHNICAL UPGRADE
    • Basis Team will do the prepare activities. (UNIX, BASIS, DBA).
    The client has modified • Developer need to run the Transaction SPDD, which provides the details of SAP Standard Dictionary, objects that. Users need to take a decision to keep the changes or revert back to the SAP Standard Structure. More often decision is to keep the change. This is mandatory activity in upgrade and avoids data loses in new system.
    • After completing SPDD transaction, we need to run SPAU Transaction to get the list of Standard SAP programs that have been modified. This activity can be done in phases even after the upgrade. Generally this will be done in same go so that your testing results are consistent and have more confident in upgrade.
    • Run SPUMG Transaction for Unicode Conversion in non-Unicode system. SPUM4 in 4.6c.
    • Then we need to move Z/Y Objects. Need to do Extended programming check, SQL trace, Unit testing, Integration testing, Final testing, Regression Testing, Acceptance Testing etc.,
    The main Category of Objects that needs to be Upgraded is –
    • Includes
    • Function Groups / Function Modules
    • Programs / Reports
    • OSS Notes
    • SAP Repository Objects
    • SAP Data Dictionary Objects
    • Domains, Data Elements
    • Tables, Structures and Views
    • Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
    • BDC Programs
    • Print Programs
    • SAP Scripts, Screens
    • User Exits
    You can find the difference in release notes of each SAP version.

  • Immediate help required with this job scheduling scenario

    I have a job that needs to run a procedure hourly but not between 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
    Can anyone help me with how to schedule this job.

    If you use a window the job would only execute if the window opens. If for some reason the window did not open then the job would not execute.
    Windows should be used to specify which resource plan should be active for the time interval.
    In this case you are better off using FREQ=DAILY; BYHOUR=; and specify the hours.

  • Help required with an image

    Hi all,
    I wonder if someone can help me with the following issue.
    If you see the attached image in the top left hand corner their is a square box which is a different shade to the rest of the header.
    I need to rectify this and blend it in with the rest on the header colour; however, I do not know how to do this and would appreciate some assistance in doing this.
    I'm a noobie to photoshop so any help is much appreciated.

    It seems you've copied another portion of the texture to overlay something you didn't want seen...
    As opposed to copy/paste of a rectangular region, this is almost a textbook use for Content Aware Fill, which should (assuming it works properly) match the pattern and blend the colors.
    Try selecting just the blemish or whatever you're trying to cover, then expand the selection a few pixels, then Edit - Fill - Content Aware.

  • Help required with WLC software upgrade

    I have a customer with  WLC 4402 in use, running software version 7.0.98.0, and supporting 11 APs at present. The customer wants to enlarge the WLAN, which involves increasing the number of APs. I have purchased a new WLC5508, and have installed it onto the network alongside the 4402. the 5508 is running software version 7.0.116.0. Because the wireless network is critical to the user, we want to move the APs over to the new controller while the network is up and running, then remove the 4402.
    However, when we set the 5508 as the master controller, or tell one of the APs to use the 5508 as its primary controller, the AP connects to the new controller, downloads the new software version, attempts to load it but reports an error with the unzipped file size of the software and fails to boot. formatting the flash on the AP, then disconnecting the 5508 from the network and rebooting the AP allows it to connect to the 4402, it downloads the older software and boots as normal. A new AP, if connected to the 5508 in a test scenario (ie no 4402) connects, downloads and boots perfectly.
    I have the upgrade software to allow the 4402 to be upgraded to 7.0.116.0, but I am concerned that, if this is installed, the existing APs will then fail to boot from the 4402 or the 5508.
    all APs are 3502s, running IOS version 12.04(23c)JA when connected to the 4402 and 12.04(23c)JA2 on the 5508.
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received
    Thanks

    Hi Pat,
    thanks for the reply. I am off site until the morning, but will attach the colsole output tomorrow.
    Your mentioning a corrupt image makes me wonder - we had a lot of trouble setting up the initial config on the new WLC, getting a lot of launch failures. Eventually things seemed to settle down (it certainly booted successfully first time this morning) and getting an AP to connect without a problem made me hope it was just a quirk of the configuration wizard, but I think I will try a reboot of the WLC before I do anything else, just to check it is stable.
    If it is a corrupt image it may take a little while to sort, as we have not as yet got a support contract on the 5508 - the plan was to upgrade the existing contract on the 4402 once they were swapped out, but I'll let you know whats going on
