I need help, I cant updat my blackberry curve 8520

I nee d help, I cant updat my blackberry curve 8520 everytime i go here in blackberry site and check for update my phone it says try again.. and no updates for your software, how is that? I have v4.6 please help meee

You do, for sure, have your BB data plan active and are able to get email, etc.?
That is required for updating to OS 5.0.
If the OS you downloaded is not specifically for the carrier that is branded on the device you will need to install the OS to the computer and then when you're done, delete the vendor.xml file located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader.
Then after you delete that, in that same apploader folder, is a file called Loader.exe.  Double click that to install the OS to your device.

    Hey BaByPaW1990,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    You can get your APN settings from your network service provider, also make sure you have a BlackBerry data plan.  
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • I SERIOUSLY NEED HELP I CANT UPDATE MY iPOD NANO AND I JUST GOT IT!!!

    I plug in my iPod rite, and then it starts to begin updating when this message comes up:
    Songs on the iPod "Ma Nano" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist.
    What does that mean and how do i fix it????
    Help please.

    I have a Nano that is locked up and seems to have some logic to the problems.
    I have tried the 5Rs
    I have formatted and restored
    I have the latest version of the firmware and software
    This thing is a $250.00 nightmare it is 5 months old and now it is a software piece of junk does anyone now of any person that can troubleshoot and repair this device (in a reasonable amount of time?)
    There is no doubt that I can send it back to Apple under warranty and they will remove the software bug and charge me $100.00 (plus shipping and handling) to solve there problem.

  • Help please: I have a Blackberry Curve 8520 and I am unable to log into Blackberry Internet Services

    and I am having problems in receiving my emails, it says that I have to reset my password.  When I try and log in it says:  username/password incorrect. 
    Have requested the password to be sent to my device, which I have now received but still unable to log in....not sure if I am using the correct username.  Have been trying for days to obtain a reply from my provider (virgin) but they are unable to help. 
    does anyone know how I can retrieve my username?   plz plz plz....I am going mad!
    thank you.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Sadly, the only place to retrieve the information you need is from your carrier. Request escalation from their initial level 1 support up to their dedicated BB support staff.
    Good luck!

  • Attempting to update blackberry curve 8520 to version 5.0 bundle 1168 timing out

    I am attempting to update my blackberry curve 8520 to version 5.0 bundle 1168. However when it attempts to install it reaches module 386 of 399 it gives a message that an error has occured while downloading software and to check the internet connection. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. I have tried unistalling all the software ie desktop manager and reinstalling and it makes no difference? help.

    Hi there,
    Try manually downloading and installing the OS to your computer first. You can do this by searching for your carrier's name in the following link and then simply download the OS installer fir your device. Once you've done that, install the file to your computer and you can then perform the upgrade.
    Here's the link:

  • How to downgrade my blackberry curve 8520 from version 8.2.0.18 to version 5.1

    Good day,
    I wipe my phone and want the older version of Blackberry and still i battle to get my facebook and bbm working.
    Please help me to downgrading my Blackberry curve 8520 to older version.
    I dont want version 8.2.0.18
    I battle to get my facebook working and dont like this new version
    please,please help me!!!!
    regards

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    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!

  • HELP PLEASE! Blackberry curve 8520 - keep getting stuck on "white screen"

    Hi i only have this blackberry curve 8520 for like 3 days and already its getting stuck on the "white screen" i experienced this problem with my previous blackberry and after several battery removals it broke and wouldnt turn on again and NOW this new blackberry with the same white screen problem! please HELP ME ANYONE PLEASEEEEEEEEE!!!
    thanks  

    Do you have a media card installed? If so, remove the battery while the phone is powered on, remove the media card (leave it out), then reinsert the battery and let the phone fully reboot. See if that makes a difference or not.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It seems that you have not installed the correct blackberry software for your device, or might be select the incorrect carrier for your blackberry handheld. You need to download the correct blackberry software with your service provider and before installing the software, disconnect your BB device from the computer and then install it with proper administrative privilege.
    After installing the software on your computer, make sure to hard boot your blackberry handheld before connecting it to your computer. If the same problem persists, then use JVM Loder to complete wipe your blackberry device memory then connect with the desktop manager and install the software.
    Good luck..!!!

  • Blackberry Curve 8520 Won't Lock! Help!

    I recently purchased a new Blackberry Curve 8520, and it was working great, until a couple of days ago, when it starting not working.
    Whenever I'd press the a* button to lock it like you're supposed to, it wouldn't lock.
    I tried shutting it off and then turning it back on again, but it still won't lock.
    It's really annoying, because I can't put it in my pocket without pocket-dialing someone from my contacts.
    Any ideas on how to get it to lock again?
