Sprint Blackberry 8330 v4.5

Hi. I just updated my Blackberry 8330 to v4.5 and I was wondering if theres that theme available that comes out on all the new phones.
I was at the Sprint store today, and I saw that they had a Blackberry Curve 8350 out on display with the theme. And when I went into Options>Themes they only had that theme as the defult one (so it wasnt downloaded).
Any idea how to do this or download the v5.0?
I checked in about and I think the version on the 8350 was 4.5 or 4.6

So I'm looking for the one that I had before all of this nonsince, also if a New OS is made does some 1 check them out becouse the 1I have has so many flaws.
If its possible that u can point me in the right direction for the OS that came with the Cell.
Hi again. Yes can point you in the right direction. Below I will post the instructions I used to cleanly install a new OS. Within the instructions is a link to download from your carrier, sorted by geographical location. Usually there are a couple of choices, the latest and the previous. Sometimes there is only the latest. If you carrier doesn't have the version you want. You will have to find a carrier that does have the nearest equivalent OS, download it to pc and then locate it using the path C: Drive > Common Files > RIM > Apploader and delete the XML file. Then you can continue with the installation. And its quite easy (even I did it!!!!).
This what I did to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before starting and printed it off.
If your device is functioning, perform a backup now if you haven't already done so saving the file to a place and in a name that you can easily locate on computer.
I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer thus removing the OS for the BB from the computer in order to ensure that the version I would reinstall would be a brand new downloaded version.
Get the latest Desk Top Software (DTS)
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&cp=OTC-DSKTPSW
and install it on the computer.
Get the correct latest version of the OS
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
and save it to computer.
To erase all the data on your BlackBerry device, complete the following steps.
1) Download JL_Cmder from http://www.4shared.com/get/oqP9V-2Q/JL_Cmder_v19.html
2) Install JL_Cmder to computer.
3) Double check you have already backed-up the BB. If you DO NOT, you will lose ALL data.
4) Make sure the DTS is closed and plug in the BB to computer via USB
5) Go to the JL_Cmder on your computer and double click it to start. Now,this may take a few tries to connect, so keep trying until it does.
6) On the first screen, Press any key to continue.
7) Now, if your device uses a password, enter it now. If not, press "N"
8) Press 4 to initiate the WIPE
9) Press "Y" to continue
10) Now type "blackberry" to continue
11) On the BB you will see a white screen with a'507' Error. Don't worry, this is what you want! You are now ready to install the OS.
Launch the new Desk Top Software on the computer
1). On the home screen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Device > Update my device.
2). Click View Other Versions. Click the version of the new OS you previously downloaded.
3). Click Install. The DTM will install the OS and then provide you with a list of applications to install. If you have had difficulties with an app, do not install it.
Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is completed and the device has rebooted.
After 10 minutes reboot again by removing the battery whilst powered-on and leave it out for a couple of minutes.
Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functioning BB!

  • SPRINT BLACKBERRY CURVE 8330 QUESTION

    Hello Group,
    {edit out personal information} I am thinking about purchasing a Sprint blackberry curve 8330. i was wondering if i were to travel abroad with this phone would i be able to use it in countries like the United Kingdom. and France?
    thank you,
    peter Stewart

    Hello and Welcome to the Forums!
    The easiest way for you to get an answer is to contact Sprint...they may or may not be able enable international roaming for you on that device.
    Alternatively, you can research the radio capabilities of that model here:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/blackberrycurve8300/curve_specifications.jsp
    Then check the radio frequencies in use by carriers in the countries you desire to go to. That will tell you if the BB is at all capable of "talking" to those networks. Then you can either activate an international roaming plan with the carrier (if they offer such) or, before you leave, get and use the unlock code from your home carrier and then, upon arrival in the other country, buy a local SIM and use that in your BB.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Entries made in Sprint BB 8330 will not sync to Outlook Calendar

    I just got a Sprint BB 8330 and have set up 2-way sync for Outlook Calendar, Tasks, Memos & Address Book. The 2-way sync works for Tasks, Memos and Address Book except the Outlook Calendar. The Outlook Calendar syncs to the BB but entries made on the BB do not sync back onto the Outlook Calendar. I traded my Sprint Treo which worked perfectly with 2-way syncs on my Dell laptop using XP for this SmartPhone which isn't doing what it is said to do.  I have done quit a bit of research on this and found that this problem is happening to a lot of other users. We should file a class action suit against Blackberry since it is a common problem and they seem to being nothing to fix it that I have found but they keep on selling them.  Thanks for your help.

    Open up your Desktop Manager, then go to Synchronize/Configuration/Configure Sync. In there, you will find that you are only allowing synchronization one way...from your desktop to your BB. You can configure your synchronization from that screen so that it is bi-directional.

  • Syncing with Blackberry 8330

    Can I sync from my Palm computer program to my Blackberry 8330 phone?  The Blackberry doesn't list Palm OS as one of the operative systems it automatically connects with.
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    Hello dougloving and welcome to the Palm forums.
     You are correct, you can't sync your BlackBerry with Palm Desktop.  What you need to do is purchase a copy of Microsoft Outlook if you don't already have a license for it.  Then sync your Palm with Palm Desktop one last time.  Next, change your HotSync conduits from Palm Desktop to Microsoft Outlook using the icon in Start > All Programs > Palm.  Once you get the Outlook conduits configured (the Palm E2 user guide will help you set up the conduits), sync your E2 with Outlook.
     Once you have the Palm/Outlook sync working, you can then sync your BlackBerry to Outlook and have both devices updating Outlook.
    Hope that helps,

    Hi Peter!
    I'm sorry to read that you are having issues with your Sync account.
    Your best bet is to follow the steps described in this blogposts and open a bug:
    https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
    After that, if you don't want to user Sync in your computer, you can stop it with this simple steps:
    * At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
    * Once the options window opens, click on the Sync tab.
    * At the bottom of the Sync tab click on '''Deactivate this Device''' link

  • 10.5.4 and bluetooth with Blackberry 8330

    since performing the combo upgrade to 10.5.4 most bluetooth functions are gone with my blackberry 8330. Prior to the upgrade, I was able to transfer files. Does anyone happen to know what was changed or how to fix it?

    Update:
    on a couple of occasions, I have been able to get file transfer functionality back for a short time by configuring my phone through the bluetooth preferences. However, this has only worked on occasion and cannot be consistently replicated.

  • Blackberry 8330 and Mac Ical

    Can anyone explain to me what I am doing wrong.  I cannot get Blackberry desktop manager on  a mac to populate my ICAL application on my mac with the events from my blackberry calendar.  It used to work fine with PocketMac, except it often doubled up all of the events.
    I select the calendar I would like to be synced, It says it is done, no errors. but my ICAL never gets any of the dates.  I am debating going back to pocketmac, even though it often doubles up all my contacts often. 
    IS this just an issue b/c I have an 8330, and its an older model BB?  I love my BB but I am in real estate and need my contacts and calendar to be synced throughout all my devices
    If you can help I would greatly appreciate it. 
    Josh

    My client is having precisely the same problem with the Blackberry 8330. She can't get calendar events that have been created or added on the Blackberry device to sync to iCal. It seems that calendar events created in iCal on her computer to sync to her Blackberry device properly. 
    Any help is appreciated. 
    Thank you!

  • Blackberry 8330 - Deleteing email off both Blackberry & Home Computer

    I currently have a Blackberry 8330, v4.5.0.186 (Platform 3.4.0.59).
    I used to be prompted to delete emails off both my blackberry and my home computer's Windows Mail.  I think after updating the Blackberry, this option was no longer available, which requires me to read emails on my Blackberry and then to have to delete them off my home computer.
    Does anyone know of a way that I can restore this function to my Blackberry?
    Thanks in advance.

    Go to Solution.

    When you say "updating the BlackBerry" do you mean you updated the software or you upgraded the device from an older device?
    When you open an email, scroll up into the headers.  Next to "Received Using" does it list the email address or does it say unknown?
    If it says "unknown" you may just need to resend your service books. 
    Go to the icon on your device that says Email Setup (Manage Internet Email on some devices) and go into the setup for your email.  There is an option to "resend service books."
    If it shows your email address then it doesn't hurt to go ahead and resend the service books anyway but then you'll need to:
    Go into Messages >Options >Email Reconciliation.
    Choose the Message Service in question (there may be multiple ones if you have more than one email address set up on the device.
    Then change "Delete On" to "Prompt."

  • Using BlackBerry 8330 keypad to access Company Directory

    Hey all,
    When I call into my company phone # from my business BlackBerry 8330, one of my options is to press the # sign to access the company directory.
    But...my keypad doesn't see to work that way.  It picks up the first letter I hit that corresponds to a number I think.  The only phone I can find in the office that works is a Razr, which of course mimics an actual telephone keypad with the 3 letters/key.
    I'm hoping there is an easy solution to this.
