Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please refer to this official download portal as you proceed. 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.
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
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. After installing the OS package to your PC, please remeber to 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
Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try the "Bare Bones OS Reload Procedure" to attempt to narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
You may also need the use of these tricks:

KB27956 How to recover a BlackBerry smartphone from any state
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
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:

Phone not working after OS update, phone not working after OS update

phone not working after OS update, phone not working after OS update

I do have a questiion. I started the most recent iOS update on my iPhone last night and before it was ever completed a message appeared on my screen. It is a pic of the docking/charging cord with an arrow pointing to an iTunes logo...HELP!!!!! I have tried holding down the home key and power button several times and the same message continues to appear.

Most applications are not working after software update-HELP!!!

HI,i have a 4 years old macbook which i upgrade couple of month ago with snow leopard to use it with my iphone...everything was fine,all applications were working until i did the software update today!!!now almost NOTHING works,no skype,no itunes,no msn..etc..when i try to open an application,it shuts down!!!ANY IDEAS???

The normal best practice for any update:
backup
repair your system
insure you have a working bootable backup clone
restart once in safe boot mode
and only then apply updates
repair permissions (but ONLY from current system version, not from earlier version, so skip using original OS X Snow Leopard DVD even)
Also check the "Using Snow Leopard" forum. There are always a few/some who seem to have problem, but unless you have something that 'broke' and does not work with this update, it was an underlying issue, "waiting to happen" so to speak.

Phone not working after firmware update for nokia ...

I tried updating my nokia 5800 today when the new firmware was released. i have already updated my other phone including another 5800. But when I updated the firmware of another 5800 (my 5800 through nokia software updater from pc/laptop), after the nokia updater application said that the update was successful, my phone showed the nokia logo with the new firmware version. It's supposed to reboot automatically and continue as normal but after waiting for like 15 minutes, my phone's still not turning on and still showed on the screen that the phone was not connected. That's when I unplugged it off from the USB cable and tried to turn it on, but it will just vibrate for a few seconds and then nothing! It won't turn on or work! I've tried to search on how to fix this problem but to no avail.. please help me.. is my phone going to work again?
Solved!

Built in iSight not working after software update!

Last night, I updated front row, quicktime, and iTunes via the software updater. Now nothing is recognizing my built in camera (iChat, photo booth). It says there is no camera connected to the computer. Also, software update isn't working. Does anybody have any idea what could have happened and how to get it running again? Thanks!

NikoM2008 wrote:
Installing the combo update - as you suggested - did not solve the problem. Any other ideas? The iSight is still not being recognized by the system profiler.
Here is what I suggest you do next.
System Profiler is a pre-Lion term. If you are really using OS X 10.7.3, you need to use the "System Information" utility.
After you launch "System Information", click the "USB" item in the "Hardware" item of the System Information window's sidebar. (If the reveal triangles are pointing to the right like ►, click on it so it points down like this ▼ to find the USB item.) Then look under each USB bus item in the "USB Device Tree" for your camera.
If there is no iSight or FaceTime camera listed anywhere in your "USB Device Tree", verify that you used the correct PMU/SMC "reset" procedure for your particular Mac model. If your camera is still not recognized in System Information", yours is most likely a hardware problem that will require a professional fix.
Then contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
Unless you have a current backup, make one before giving your Mac to the repair technician.

Scanner samsung scx-4300 does not work after software update v 2.3

hi everybody,
i just noticed that after i run software update on my mac mini and install samsung printer software update v2.3
I'm no longer able to scan from my Samsung SCX-4300
on macbook pro i noticed the software update has not been installed, and i can still scan without any problem
is there a way to uninstall the software update?
thanks.

What's the correct way to uninstall SamsungPrinterSoftwareUpdate v.2.3
If I delete the following:
- Samsung folder in /Libraries/Printers/
- Samsung Scanner.app in /Library/Image Capture/Devices
Will it remove samsung driver for printer and scanner?
If yes, then I can reinstall SamsungPrinterSoftwareUpdate v2.2 (found in on the internet from google search)
note: confirmed the problem is with SamsungPrinterSoftwareUpdate v2.3

Microsoft office 2003 not working after software update

I tried opening up my MS Word and Powerpoint programs last night by clicking on their icons. It did not open. However, I opened the programs a few weeks ago when I created several documents but now nothing. But at the same time it does open my existing files using these programs. And when that's happened, I am able to close the existing file and do a FILE: NEW and save with no additional issues.
I have a feeling that the most recent Software Update 2011-002 is to blame. Just like when previous versions were to blame when it disabled my previous version of Photoshop. Also, just as the last Safari update a while back still continues to cause problems for me when I try to check my email on AOL for Desktop for Macs forcing me to go directly to www.aol.com over the web.
What can I do to remedy this problem without having to purchase an updated version of MS Office? I personally don't believe the latest version of MS Office will work on my laptop because it DOES NOT have the Intel chip. Unfortunately, I purchased my laptop just prior to the Mac Intel processors came out on the market.
In conclusion, each time the program crashed or stalled when I tried opening it multiple times I sent a report to Apple.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Send me an email if necessary. I don't always log into the Apple site.
Thanks, Christie

I phone not working after software upgrade!

The I phone 3 software was upgraded from 4.1 to 6.1 and it returned it to the factory settings without a request to do so!
It says that there is no sim card in it, when there is, when connected to itunes! The iPhone was bought in Korea and was used with an South African sim card before! How can I get 4.1 on it so that it can work again?
How can one get it working again?

Think you need to take this to a dealer. You should never remove battery or the power from the phone when its updating (i learned that the hard way). But i think the retailer is the only one who can do anything to it now if your not able to turn it on again.
A trick might be to put in your power-cord and see if it will charge the battery. If it does then you know their is life in it atleast!

Apple TV does not work after software update

After being prompted and loading (I think) the newest ATV update all I have on my TV screen is the iTunes icon and underneath that an icon of a USB cable icon. When the power is plugged in the ATV status light blinks continuously. Please not my home share is turned on. What can be done to troubleshoot and solve this problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

My phone doesnt work after software update

I updated my old phone to the most current software but now it wont work

If you mean you cannot activate it:
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

HT4367 Apple TV not working after software update

So frustrated. Apple TV wouldn't download my tv programme so I updated the software in case that fixed it. Now I have the 'connect to I tunes' picture on my screen. I don't have a mini USB or a computer (only an iPad) anything I can do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can do this on a friends computer, that has iTunes installed.
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
