Off Contract 8900 How To Upgrade OS 5?

It is my understanding that this OS upgrade is avaliable via some carriers websites, however how would i go about upgrading my off contract device?
Thanks

By off-contract, you do still have the BIS BlackBerry Data Plan on your device?
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.
See the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.

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.
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.

  • How do I get the $25 month2month "More Everything" discount on my off-contract lines?

    I have the pop-up discount automatically added when I logged onto My Verizon, but it is not adding it to my second off-contract line.  Please fix that for me.

    Never mind I was able to finally get onto live chat and they confirmed my eligibility and applied the discount.

  • We have 3, soon to be 4 iphones under one contract.  How do we separate our iphones to have separate icloud accounts without losing information already stored?

    We have 3, soon to be 4 iphones under one contract.  How do we separate our iphones to have separate icloud accounts without losing information already stored?

    One of them can keep the current account.  Since the iCloud email account must stay with the current account, whoever uses it for email might be the best one to keep it.  You can then migrate the other phones to separate accounts, along with a copy of the data.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once all the phones are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete each other's data from your accounts.

  • How to upgrade 5.0.1 executable to run on Windows XP?

    I need to upgrade the OS on a standalone DAQ system to Windows XP.
    This system is controlled by an executable created by LabVIEW 5.01 running on Windows 98.
    I am not sure if we have the source code (i.e. LV vi's).
    Can any one please tell me how to upgrade the system so that the LabVIEW 5.01 executable can run on Windows XP?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    I will try after backing up the entire system before trying it.
    Another related question, if I can find the source code in LV 5.0.1, will I be able to upgrade it to the latest LV version if I buy the LV package, or do I expect problems?
    I guess if it were me I'd just get a new compatible hard drive for the system (since they are so inexpensive these days) and swap it for the one with Win98. Install WinXP to the new drive and be sure that you are happy with the performance of the old machine under WinXP before proceeding. Then you can temporarily add the Win98 drive as an additional disk to the WinXP system and copy the files you need off of it and then set it aside again just in case you are not able to get the LabVIEW working. Swapping disk drives is MUCH faster and usually safer then creating and restoring backups. An alternate similar path is to add the new drive to the Win98 system and, using software like Norton Ghost, clone the Win98 system/disk to the new disk then pull out the old Win98 disk, boot off the cloned Win98 disk and upgrade that disk to WinXP. That way the old applications would exist under the new system and you may be able to run them without any further fuss.
    The current version of LabVIEW should be able to read the old VI files. You could always download the demo and try it. As far as having problems, many people in general are not happy with one aspect or another of LabVIEW v8.0 and the patch to 8.0.1 certainly does not fix all the problems but if all you are doing is upgrading old code to run again under 8 then you'll probably be OK.

    北京老马

    Hi Martin
    Find the below information.
    Upgrade Sequence for each Role:
    ==========================
    You should upgrade your Exchange 2013 server roles in the following order:
    Client Access
    Mailbox
    Edge 
    For DAG members
    Upgrade only passive servers in the first phase.
    Before you apply the service pack to a DAG member, move all active mailbox database copies off the server to be upgraded and configure the server to be blocked from activation.
    Place server in DAG maintenance mode before applying the service pack to any DAG member,
    Stop any scheduled tasks or other processes running on the DAG member or within that DAG that could adversely affect the DAG member being upgraded or the upgrade process
    Good Luck !!

  • How to upgrade ios 5 in ipad 2

    How to upgrade ios 5 in ipad 2?

    Not sure whether you want to upgrade to iOS 5 or you have iOS 5 and want to upgrade from it, but you can only update to the highest iOS 6 version that a device supports, which for an iPad 2 is 6.1.3. If you already have iOS 5+ then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update option on it for direct update update on it, otherwise you can only update via your computer's iTunes.
    To update via your computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes and selecting 'Backup' (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    If you have the old hard drive, buy an enclosure, boot your computer off the old hard drive, make a clone of your old hard drive and then copy the clone to the SDD. That will also give you the old hard drive for additional storeage. Other World Computing sells enclosures.

    Please advise how i upgrade from my current trial version of Connect 9 to the full version with elearning features.
    I see that the public pricing is without the elearning features, so for me this is no good as i need to host courses. The email address of [email protected] is invalid and bounces back and the phone line helpers are unable to provide information to help.
    I cannot find costings or online download options anywhere
    Please help as a matter of urgency
    Thanks

  • Discount for off contract Iphone

    Last month I found a link in myverizon that said I could get $15 off a month for my off contract phone.I applied for it and it's its suppose to start in Jan.Has anyone else actually got the discount ? If so,have you added another phone ( that's already paid for) and received the discount for it also ?
    I just bought my husband a verizon iPhone 4s ( unlocked) and want to add him to the acct but not at the higher rate ( will get him a prepay if I can't get the other rate)
    Anybody else get this deal ?

    From VZW via email --
    The promotion you requested for your wireless number has been completed and will be effective starting 05/13/2014. You'll start seeing your discount in your next 1-2 bills and it will continue until you upgrade or renew your service agreement.
    New Promotion Added:
    MORE EVERYTHING VALUE $25 OFF
    RushFan -- Maximum kudos to you. I got three emails like the above after following your advice. Thank you and stay thirsty, my friend. Aces.
    VZW staff -- I appreciate the replies here and I am pleased you guys are on the ball. However, comma, Why weren't these heavily advertised discounts just applied automatically? Why did Rushfan have to point me to something obscurely called "Change Features" to apply a discount I am owed? Please tell me that this would have kicked in automatically. Would it?
    Again, thanks to all who tried to help.

    What's a "doggle?"
    It's a box like device on the end of a short USB or Ethernet cable usually designed for copy protection purposes for software.
    The original Quark X Press came with one, we used to mess with co-workers by pulling it out slightly so it didn't make contact.
    Edit: Ah, looks like the terminology has changed
    The term "dongle" was originally used to refer only to software-protection dongles; however, currently "dongle" is often used to refer to any small piece of hardware that plugs into a computer.
    Followed by a picture of what appears to be a USB looking thumb type drive, but it's likely not if it's got electronics inside to provide copy protection.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_protection_dongle
    Lion of course doesn't come on a dongle, it comes on a USB thumb drive. But the method is to hold the option key down and select it to boot from and then run the installer.
    OP should backup all data off the machine first before proceeding with their Lion's dongle. LOL

  • How to upgrade to the last iOS 6 version (6.1.6?). I don't want the hideous iOS 7!

    How to upgrade to the last iOS6 version (6.1.6?)? I don't want the hideous iOS7!

    The iOS 6.1.6 upgrade is only for those devices that cannot be upgraded to iOS 7.0.6...that includes things like the iPod Touch 4th generation.  If the device can be upgraded to iOS 7.0.6 then there is no option but to go there.
    Apple has never supported upgrading to intermediate iOS versions, and infact, takes them off the servers when a new version is released.
    The SSL flaw in the lower iOS versions should not be an issue if you use good practices such as caution on unsecure purblic wireless...it does not mean your device can be hacked or entered.  Only that wireless communications may be subject to eavesdropping.

  • How to upgrade Bold9700 OS5 to OS6 HELP!

    Hello,
    Currently I'm using Taiwan Mobile carrier, 
    and My Blackberry Bold 9700's
    Platform : 5.1.0.147
    App version : 5.0.0.593 (1022)
    I would like to know how to upgrade my Bold9700 OS 5 to OS 6 , so I wont make any fatal errors or unsuccessfully installed that will cause the device being a **bleep**.
    Before I have heard how to upgrade the OS without connecting to the computer by click
    Options >Advance Options> Wireless Update> Next >  
    it said Current version is 5.0.0.593
    Then I click the "Check for Updates" it said "No Updates Available"
    Secondly, I connect my BB to the computer : 
    on my BBDesktop, it said :
    Software Version : 5.0 Bundle 1022
    Update Available : 6.0 Bundle 2475
    as I clicked the Update.. It comes up with some options of OS-es I want to install :
    6.0 Bundle 2475 (v6.0.0.546 Platform 6.6.0.207) (recommended)
    5.0 Bundle 1446 (v5.0.0.862 Platform 5.1.0.175)

    5.0 Bundle 1022 (v.5.0.0.593 Platform 5.10.147) (currently installed)
    Anyone please help me , give me any suggestions how to upgrade.
    Thanks in advance!!

    I have recently upgrade my os.
    I've got the blackberry 9700.. The first time I updated it I did it with the following steps;
    > Options
    > Advanced Options
    > Wireless Update
    That time I update it to 5 I think. When I wanted to download the next update with wireless update it told me the same thing like yours. SO I tried it wired.
    This time I was doing things for a friend and I try to update it with my blackberry first.
    Follow these steps;
    > Turn your cellphone off
    > Go to the site: http://us.blackberry.com/update/. Scroll down and click on "check for update"
    > Connect your blackberry to the pc
    > Your blackberry model and pin will appear in the venster
    > press ok
    > Then it will chek for updates
    > When this is done you will have the choice to choose for get update or update later
    > If you wanna do it then click on get update
    P.S.: Do not disconnect your phone from the pc. Back up your BBM list first, otherwise you will lose all your contacts.
    You will have to wait a couples of minutes and then you are ready to use your new Blackberry OS .
    I love mine and I'm happy with it.
    Good Luck...

    I have any IPhone with at&t lock, I bought this iphone from ebay. that time didnt know what is lock phone or unlock phone. then I end up with iphone like Ipod  recently i heard that at&t is going to unlock the phone off contract. I would like to knw if this going to work with my case. I bought this phone on OCT, 2010

    This is AT&T's published statement, and all we know at this stage:
    "Beginning Sunday, April 8, we will offer qualifying customers the ability to unlock their AT&T iPhones. The only requirements are that a customer’s account must be in good standing, their device cannot be associated with a current and active term commitment on an AT&T customer account, and they need to have fulfilled their contract term, upgraded under one of our upgrade policies or paid an early termination fee."
