Updating Phone without using Desktop Manager

Hi,
I was wondering is there anyway that I could update my blackberry without having to use the desktop manager as i don't actually have it installed and have never used it for my phone because i don't run windows or mac.

Hello the_bgb_society
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
Yes you can update your BlackBerry Over the Air , But.. specially I don't prefer . If you can manage a PC the method are simple , and the Choice is your's if you go for an Update OTA then please do a backup of your device first. For help refer to this Article : How To Backup Your BlackBerry .
If you want to update with the help of a Compter then refer to this KB :
KB16251 : Install or update device software on a BlackBerry smartphone without using BlackBerry Desktop Software
Or to update your device wirelessly refer to this Article : Update your Torch wirelessly

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.

As the title states is it possible to copy the contact list from the bold 9900 using windows exlorer to the computer ? I cannot install DM on the computer.

Solved!

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!

I just updated my iPhone 4s to iso 8.2 How do I create a pass code to open my phone without using my pass word every time?

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

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.

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...

Informative thread indeed. Wish I saw it early enough. Managed to come up with the code below before I saw this thread.
declare @TTName Table
(TableSchemaTableName
varchar
(500),
[status] int
default 0);
with AvailableTables
(TableSchemaTableName)
as
(select
QUOTENAME(TABLE_SCHEMA)
+
+
QUOTENAME(TABLE_NAME)
from
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES)
insert into @TTName
(TableSchemaTableName)
select *
from AvailableTables
declare @TableSchemaTableName varchar
(500)
declare @sqlstatement nvarchar
(1000)
while 1=1
begin
set @sqlstatement
=
'DROP TABLE '
+ @TableSchemaTableName
exec
sp_executeSQL
@sqlstatement
print
'Dropped Table : '

update @TTName
set [status]

where TableSchemaTableName
= @TableSchemaTableName
if
(select

from @TTName
where [Status]
= 0)
= 0
break

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

I want single update query without use the function.

I want to update sells_table selling_code field with max date product_code from product table.
In product table there is multiple product_code date wise.
I have been done it with below quey with the use of function but can we do it in only one update query
without use the function.
UPDATE sells_table
SET selling_code = MAXDATEPRODUCT(ctd_vpk_product_code)
WHERE NVL(update_product_flag,0) = 0 ;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION HVL.maxdateproduct (p_product IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER

FROM (SELECT product_code, xref_end_dt
FROM product
WHERE TO_NUMBER (p_product) = pr.item_id
ORDER BY xref_end_dt DESC)
WHERE ROWNUM = 1; -- It will return only one row - max date product code
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
RETURN 0;
END;
RETURN max_date_product;
END maxdateproduct;
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Something like this.
update setlls_table st
        set selling_code =(select nvl(trim(product_code)) from
                              (select product_code
                                      , rank() over (partition by item_id order by xref_end_dt DESC) rn
                                   from product
                               ) pr
                               where rn =1
                                     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.

I was looking for something on the net, and i run into this post. Am not sure if you have found a soulution or not, anyways, if not here are some programs that i love and they show you every thing in your iPhone:
iFunBox, iBackupBot and DiskAid
am sure they will help you find what you want and then you can just copy them to your computer.
if you use Mac, iPhoto will import everything for you.

I recently purchased an old iMac G3 Macintosh. I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc? I've seen the newer Apple products with the dock, if I update my iMac G3, will it have that, and if so, how can I do that?

I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc?
If you mean the iMac does not have an internal optical drive capable of reading DVDs, the only option requires another Mac with a DVD-capable drive and FireWire ports. Your iMac G3 will also require FireWire ports. Not all G3 iMacs have Firewire. FW started with the Summer 2000 models with 400mHz and faster processors.
With FireWire, you can use FireWire Target Disk mode to install from a retail OS install DVD in another Mac. If you supplemental info info tells us if you have another Mac with a DVD reader and the FW ports, we can walk you through the process.
If the iMac has a tray-loading drive, I'd forget it. They are very limited not only in the OS max (10.3.9) but also in RAM capability. Starting with the slot-loading iMac G3s, the max RAM increased to 1 GB (2 X 512MB modlules). Tiger likes 1GB RAM.
Understand that pre-Intel Macs are getting harder to use. Even with 10.4.11, your choice of browsers is limited (TenFourFox is the most viable option) and the G3s rudimentary video hardware means web browsing will be choppy at best.
If you are in the USA, you can try calling the Apple Store (1-800-MY-APPLE) for an OS disk. As recently as Jan 20, someone posted here that they were able to buy Tiger by calling. It was not clear whether the disks were replacement system install/restore disks or full retail install, but it's a free call.
When you do "About this Mac" to check teh OS verion, also look at the processor speed and tell us what that says. That can help with recommendations for an upgrade path.
