Unable to update device software from 4.6 to 5.0 (No updates available) (BB Curve 8900)

Hello guys. 
I've been trying for the past few days to update my BB Curve 8900's Device Software but whenever I click update, it always says "There are no BlackBerry Device Software updates available." 
Please help.
Thank you!

Hey TheLittleBee,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
BlackBerry Handheld software availability is determined by your network service provider.  If your network service provider does not have OS 5 availabile then there will be no updates.

  • Re: BES 5 Updating Device Software from 4.6 to 5.0

    Can you comment on how I can download the actual 5.0 OS for a device?  I have a Curve 8330 and it is listed as a compatible device for 5.0.  I have installed software on my PC that checks for Updates and says NONE.  I checked for updates via Options --> Wireless and says NONE.  I'm on SPRINT and not sure if that matters, but for whatever reason the device shows as compatible, but I cannot seem to update.
    Is there a way to simply download the OS file and install?  I know you have great steps, but they don't seem to work for me, in that I'm at the mercy of the "Find updates" and its not showing OS 5.0
    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, thanks :-)

    we need to do this globally - we are in London but have BES devices in NY, London, Paris, Amsterdam & India.
    Whats the best way to upgrade these?
    W.
    I would send them the instruction I just sent. it worked reall well for me.
    I would also suggest to stagger them to 30 or so per day as you will get a few calls and dont want them all on the same day unless you have the people to assist with it.

  • I have a 2nd generation iPod touch.  I have not updated the software from version 2.2.1.  When I connect to iTunes to update to 4.2, I keep getting an error message.  Has anyone else had this issue and figured out a way to fix it?

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Unable to load Device Software to BB Torch 9800

    Hi,
    I'm unable to load Device Software to my phone. Have tried with various Bundle from Various Carriers, still there seems to be no luck at all. Its basically dead now with no OS on it. I've tried with various Version of DM and DS, still nothing seems to be working what so ever.
    My exact problem is, it's stuck at "Reconnecting to JVM" and that's it, nothing happens after that. There is a continuous blink of red light for seconds and that's it.
    I have tried all possible solutions given in this forum, still no avail. 
    Could someone please help with this as a matter of urgency.
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks.

    Manual device OS upgrade instructions:
    1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    2. Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion and unplug BlackBerry. Get DM here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    3. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    5. This step is not needed unless there is an issue on next steps. Use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a complete backup) then after you get the error 507 (no OS installed) then proceed to step 6
    6. remove internet connection to PC and reboot PC.
    7. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file was in.
    8. if you did Step 5, restore from back up. Follow this KB if needed http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
    Enjoy the new OS.

    Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved.  If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.  Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.

    Call 1-800-MY-APPLE (or your county's support number).  Apple is selling single user disks for $19 or 5-user family disks for $29.   If you think you will another copy of SL in the future, buy the $29 family pack before Amazon at $100+ becomes your only source.

    Are you sure you have a 2G? A 1G can only go to 2.1 via iTunes but a 1G can go as high as 3.1.3 that you get here:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Identifying iPod models
    To If you do have a 2G that can go to 4.2.1 by:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    For 4.2.1 you need iTunes version 10.X and that requires OSX 105.8 or later.
    If you have 10.4.11 you can only go to iOS 4.1 since that OSX can on go to iTunes 9.X

  • HT1338 why can i not update my software from 10.6.8

    why can i not update my software from 10.6.8?

    Because there are no updates beyond OS X 10.6.8.
    If you want to upgrade to a later version, you have to buy it. Mountain Lion is $19.99 US.
