Update software without using Desktop Manager

I'm trying to update my BB 8520 because it's been playing up (again) and I've tried using the desktop manger to update it but it doesn't seem to let me complete the update even though it says there is one. Is there anyway of updating it through the internet like a website or something, or does it have to be through the desktop manager? 
Thanks. 

See the link below for the download, and follow these simple installation instructions.
First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
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.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Sadly, no...the BlackBerry Desktop Software is required for extracting information out of the protected device Databases. They are not accessible to Windows Explorer.
    What is going on with not being able to install DM? Does something go wrong? Or are you prevented from even trying?
    Good luck and let us know!

  • HT201263 Can I update software without using my pc

    Trying to update my iOS but when I go settings, general it does not say software update

    It sounds like your iPhone is running a version of iOS that is older then iOS 5.
    It is only after you upgrade to iOS 5 that you can upgrade the software on an iPhone without a computer.

    You do not need a MAC.  Why do you thing this is true.
    Do they have a  PC?
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access6
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later

    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)

  • Can't update software without credit card info

    Geek Squad set up my new Apple ID on my laptop when they did a file transfer.  I wasn't given the ID or password, but it says I am logged in.  However, when I click on software updates it wants me to confirm my Apple ID and enter my credit card information.  Is there a way to update software without using my credit card?  Software updates worked fine on my old macbook pro and did not require this information.

    Yes - set Payment type to None.

  • Add or edit address book using Desktop Manager

    Is there any way that I can add or edit my address book using the Desktop software? I would like to input email addresses and other information into my address book on my blackberry without having to type everything in on the blackberry. I was hoping there would be a way to do that on my PC and have it sync to my phone.

    he following steps will help you to configure synchronization -
    Connect your device using Desktop Manager and click on Synchronization
    From the menu on the left click Synchronization under Configuration
    Again click Synchronization button on the right which will give you option to Select Device Application that you want to synchronize
    Put the check mark and you'll get a prompt to Select Desktop Application
    Highlight the application name and click next button
    Under Synchronization Option you get Direction of Synchronization
    Check the radio button with Two way sync 
    Note: above mentioned steps are explained as per Desltop Manager 4.5
    Example: Synchronize addressbook -
    Connect you HH with your desktop Manager in your PC. If you device is set to wireless sync then you need to turn off wireless synchronization. To do so go to Address Book -> click Menu -> Options -> Wireless Synchronization: No -> click Menu and Save the changes.
    Click on the Synchronize button on Desktop Manager -> Click on Configuration Tab then click on Configure Synchronization -> Click on Choose under Address Book (on the right side of the pop up window) -> Click on you organizer apps (like, MS outlook, Lotus notes etc) -> Select desired apps -> select Synchronization radio button and click OK twice go back to Synchronize tab ->click on Synchronize Now.

  • Automatic file upload using desktop manager!!

    hi everyone! im new to this forum so dont knw how long it will take before people reply. lets give it a shot lol
    i just wanted to know if its possible to set up their blackberry manager in such a way that it automatically uploads files to to a computer once connected to a network?
    all sugestions will be much appreciated
    thanks,
    ricky

    You're welcome.
    Let's start with your device model, you've gotten to post that.
    But we gotta have some detail of what you're trying to do. In your first post and thread title you mentioned with using Desktop Manager, then you most recent post says without using any "middleman".
    You can use Bluetooth to transfer from the BlackBerry to the PC. You can use Desktop Manager for that, but not for document files like Word. You can use Media Manager for that transfer, but there's another middleman you don't want.
    Automatic? Maybe not. Even using a simple application on your PC like SyncToy will require some user interaction.

  • HT4623 How to update software without wi-fi? It shows message that first connect to wi-fi then update even if I have 3G net on my phone i5.

    How to update software without wi-fi? It shows message that first connect to wi-fi then update even if I have 3G net on my phone i5.

    Hi Parmkshinde,
    Here's why you should use Wifi to do a wireless software update:
    While you'd be able to download an update over 3G/4G, the updates are so big that you'll be waiting a really long time (also, you'll eat up a ton of your monthly wireless data), so Wi-Fi is much easier here. You should also make sure you've got plenty of battery life. The download and installation process can take some time, so if you've got less then 50% battery, you may want to plug in to a power source.
    Hope this answers your question!
    Cheers,

  • E-mail issue after using Desktop Manager

    I am a new BB user (Curve 8530). So I am confused with this issue. Couple of days back I connected phone to my laptop and used desktop manager (ver 5.0.0.11). I just wanted to explore the features of DM. After I disconnected from laptop, the company account emails stopped coming to the handheld nor I could send any from the company mail-id from the phone. I have configured gmail and hotmail on the BB. These were operational perfectly. Only the official mail-id was not getting synched. And I started getting mails with etp.data files in my outlook. The company BB admin guys resolved the issue. So everything was fine. But no one could tell what was wrong. So today I again connected to the phone to DM cause I wanted to move contact from outlook to phone. Now again, i have the same issue. No official emails on my phone. I am sure the admin guys will again solve the issue. But I need to know why is this happening, else i won't be able to use DM at all. can some one explain as to why this could happening. should i check/change any setting on phone or DM.

    I am not sure this could help, but when you first intalled DM, did you onfigure it for Enterprise Use? Are you running 5.0.1 or 6.0? In the 5.0.1 version, you had to set it up for BES use when first installing the software.
    Also, validate with IT the email and other security policies they have in place for BES users...
    I know I am providing more questions than solutions, but hopefully they will steer you in the right way...

  • How to get the update file without using Nokia Sof...

    The network connection is unreliable and downloading the firmware update using PC Suite for my Nokia E90 proves difficult. Does anyone know how I can get the firmware version 300.34.84?
    The trouble is Nokia's Software Updater does not accommodate any slight interruption to the connection during the update process. I will update this discussion with what version of PC Suite I have once I get that info.
    Any help is kindly appreciated

    In fact, it is not Possible to get the update file without using Nokia Software Updater or you should search the net to find the update files in another place and even you get them, you can not use them with NSU.
    You can Update your Device with:
    1 - NSU (Nokia Software Update)
    2 - FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) for FP2 devices ONLY.
    3 - Nokia Care Center
    there is not other way to upgrade.
    Hope useful for u.
    regards

                                         and pr.item_id = st.ctd_vpk_product_code
                               ) where NVL(update_product_flag,0) = 0 ;As such not tested due to lack of input sample.
