Software Update for Blackberry Curve 8530

I am using the Curve 8530 which I started using with Rogers not too long ago. My friend has the same phone and got it the same time but hers has the software v5.0 yet mine still has v4.6. I want to be able to upload the new software but for some reason I am unable to. When I try to update it it tells me I already have the latest version, yet I am the only one of my friends with this phone that does not have this new software. If you know anyyything, let me know please!

That's one way to do it... you could also do it Over The Air (Options - Advanced - Wireless Update) or you could download the file and install the update via Desktop Manager. One word of caution though... personally I recommend the OS 5.0 .459 update not the .654... There are many posts on many forums detailing why people have issues with .654 (I'm one of them and I downgraded from .654 to .459). Of note, loss of the manual standy feature and changing the keyboard lock methods, and the trade-off of battery life over reception.

Blackberry curve 8530 wont accept password

I have had a blackberry curve 8530 since march and it is now july! Everything has worked until now when i tried to install the desktop manager and it wouldnt accept my password. I tried 10 times and now it says "last attempt" and i don't want my phone to reset everything! Pleas help me!!!! I don't know what to do!!! (P.s i haven't backed up my phone!)

Hi 85curve30,
If you have any numbers in your device password and don't hold in the Alt key when entering them on the device, try entering the corresponding letters on those keys on the PC when it asks for the password for your connection to the Desktop Software.

Blackberry Curve 8530 text issues, please help!

I have a problem opening some texts on my blackberry curve 8530, most of the texts i get are threaded and i can read them fine. When I get texts from certain people and i open it, its just black and i cannot see any text so I have to forward the text to my phone to see what the person has texted me. Then i have to delete the text i forwarded to myself otherwise it wont work the next time i send another fwd text to myself to see what they said. It happens consistently with the same people in my contact list. Most people are fine, but theres a few people i text that this happens with and it happens every time they text me. Ive looked through settings and I have no idea how to fix this or how to change it. Its getting really old to have to fwd the texts people send me back to my phone to read them every time they text me. Can anybody please help me????? It would be much appreciated. Please please help me with this or explain to me whats going on with it. I have no other problems with my phone other than my screen freezing up every once in a while.
Thanks so much!
Diana

Diana, the first thing I would suggest before doing something more invasive like a device wipe and restore is a simple reboot: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
See if the issue perists.

BLACKBERRY CURVE 8530,, help me ASAP.. P L E A S E

So I had this blackberry curve 8530 for about a week already. I like this device, but it does not let me send or receive picture messages. I need help ASAP... P L E A S E

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Picture Messaging (technically, MultiMedia Messaging Service -- MMS) is a function of your contract with your mobile service provider (Sprint). You must subscribe, from them, to a plan level that is adequate to include MMS (and any other services you desire). As such, discussing this with them would be the best approach. See this for general guidance:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
Again, that is only general -- with hundreds of carriers in the world each with dozens of different data plans, only they can answer specifically about what should and what should not work.
If they tell you that you are subscribed to an adequate data plan, then don't let them fob you off. After all, you pay them for 100% of your services and 100% of your formal support...you should insist that they deliver both.
Good luck!

HELP!!!! Can't Open Picture attachments on my email on BlackBerry Curve 8530

I am having many problems with my new blackberry curve 8530. I just purchased this last week and can't seen to be able to view my pictures that my brother sends me from across the country of my brand new nephew. I NEED HELP!! I called Bell Mobility and talked to them for 40 mins and I got no where.
Can someone help me!!!!

Where are you clicking to view the image, like I asked.
At the bottom of the email, ON the attached file?
Try that.
You might need your BlackBerry Attachment Service Books re-pushed to the device, although your not being able to SEND an image sorta makes me think that is not the issue.
Anyways, do this:
On your BlackBerry device, go to:
1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site:
From your handheld device:   http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and log in. Then under Help!, select Service Books, then select Send service Books.
Now, try retrieving a picture again.
From your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
North American Carriers - scroll down to select your carrier
WorldWide Carriers - Find your carrier on the list
3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot. This reboot, even if you have already done this, is often needed to install the service books.

How do you add footers in the BlackBerry Curve 8530?

I'm actually asking on behalf of my employer. I wanted to know how to add/create footers using the BlackBerry Curve 8530 model series.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I don't know what footers are.
I know what an email signature line is.
For example, each email you write would have automatically added to the end:
"Thanks,
Bob Smith
Smith Corporation
111-222-3333 phone"
That?

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.

My Blackberry Curve 8530 keeps shutting down

WHy does my BB Curve 8530 keep shutting down every half hour or so? And of course, it takes 9 minutes for it to restart so I am missing calls and texts many times a day. Is it a software thing that can be fixed? I am not upgradeable for another 7 months, so I'm stuck with this phone! Help?

Hi rowinchrist,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
To rule out any possible software issue that may be causing your BlackBerry® Curve™ 8530 smartphone to shut down, please try to back up your data using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software and perform a clean reload of your BlackBerry® Device Software.
For further instructions, please see the following KB articles.
For Windows®: "How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device Software for Windows" http://bbry.lv/GI9beY
For Mac: "Perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer" http://bbry.lv/J0UN1U
Please test to make sure the issue has been resolved before restoring any data from your backup file.
Thanks.

Software update by blackberry link in windows 8

Can anyone help me to sort out the software updates for my Z10 using blackberry link installed in my laptop with windows 8?
I cannot see the 'install updates' link ......!!

With your Z10 connected to the PC, and running Link, do you see the Z10 connected in the bottom of the window (it should show as a tab at the bottom of the Link window)?
If so, then at the upper right, click on the gear icon for Settings. You should see the RELOAD OS functions in the screen now.

Errors afyer software update for my Z10

Right after software update for my bb z10, i can not opewn now setrings, notification and wifi. How can I fix this? Please help

I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
Good luck and let us know!
