Hi ashokbhutiya
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
You can try a manual update to see if that allows , try those steps but remember as you don't have an active BlackBerry data plan so you have to disconnect all Internet connection and cables from that PC that you will use after downloading that OS pack or after step 3.Or loader will not allow you the update also have to delete all VENDOR . XML files .
1.Locate your Carrier and Download the OS you desire from here BlackBerry Software Download Site
(make sure you are downloading for the same model as you have )
2. Now Double Click the file that you Downloaded to Install it on your PC
3. Download and install the latest BlackBerry desktop software from here BlackBerry desktop software
Then using desktop software perform your full backup of your device.
4.Search your C: drive for Vendor.xml and delete them, there may be one or two vendor.xml ( On your Pc change your folders option to show hidden files/folders ) :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\Windows UserName\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
5. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader. (For 64-bit Vista or Windows 7, the path will be C: > Program Files x86 > Common Files > Research In Motion > AppLoader) double click Loader.exe.
Upgrade will continue then After Installation of New OS restore your backup using BlackBerry desktop
Software.

Upgarading my 8520 curve software to os5 or 6

Is it possible to upgrade the software of my Blackberry Curve 8520 software to one of the latest OS's? Where can I download the software and how do I install it? I live in South Africa

Hello,
The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
2) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?lid=us:bboftwareesktopSoftware&lpos=us:bboftware
3) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
4) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
5) Launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC. If, during the process, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
Don't forget to backup.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

If you are wanting to view a PDF file downloaded to your Media Card, you will need a third party application, such as PDFtoGO, BeamReader or Repligo. Google will find any of those three for you.
Good luck.

Application error with blackberry 8520 curve

hello,
i own a blackberry 8520 curve and i keep having the same problem with logging in into yahoo messenger.
while i can log in from a PC or another phone, logging in from this phone seems impossible, regardless the account i try logging in with. after it displays the ''connecting to" message it pops this: "'internal error. please try again''.
i tried reintroducing the internet connection settings; i reinstalled the application, i've put another SIM card into this phone and i've removed all the entries from my yahoo account's apps and website connections list - and it keeps popping the error message
i hope receiving an answer, 'cause it's been 4 days without getting to use the app.

Hello
when i connect my blackberry 8520 curve with my pc, then it does not connect with blackberry desktop
it just opens like a external hard drive and i can browse the folders and such but it wont sync with
blackberry desktop.
When i connect it it gives a usb error that the drivers are not installed succesfully
are there usb drivers for the blackberry 8520 curve ?
kind regards G.

Have you done a battery pull yet? If not, give that a shot.
Open desktop manager first, then try to connect the phone when it says "connect your device"

Blackberry 8520 curve hangs, suddenly white screen comes and the only solution is to re-insert battery with power source on?

My Blackberry 8520 curve suddenly hangs giving a white screen and when i restart it - the screen remains white. After i put it into charge - then only a successful start is done. So the only solution as of now i have - is whenever my blackberry hangs - i need to remove the battery - insert it again - and immediately put it into charging via USB/Electric-Power. Even if i re-insert the battery - the white screen comes - unless and until i put it into charging Earlier i was guessing - my battery was weak - but no such problem. pls advise.

Hindi Language in Blackberry 8520 Curve

Hi there,
I am unable to see hindi posts/fonts on blackberry 8520 curve.
Please assist me how to get this done.
Regards

Its a mere perception that Blackberry 8520 Version 5.xx doesn't support Hindi or Indic fonts.
Visit the following url from your Blackberry handset having operating system version 5.0 and above, including old Blackberry device 8520
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23613317/A_HindiFont/hindifont4bb.jad
dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23613317/A_HindiFont/hindifont4bb.jad
Download hindifont4bb.jad file
You can download the Indic font for Blackberry and install it. You will be able read and write Hindi characters on your handset.
Please confirm if it works.
Thanks & Regards,
Shivshankar

Hello !
Could you please be more elaborative for explaining your issue?

8520 Curve White Screen

My daughter's 4 months old 8520 Curve went to white screen.
Keys work.
Red Light flashes.
Battery Pull
No difference.
Desktop Manager recognised BB including identifying the the PIN and a full back up run.
Ran a complete wipe and OS reload from Desktop Manager.
No Difference.
Ran:
"If your BlackBerry stays powered off with a black or white screen, follow the instructions below. The only indication of life might be the blinking red LED light in the top corner. Nothing seems to wake it up and Desktop Manager doesn't recognize any device is connected.
1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
No difference.
So unless you can suggest an alternative I am going with a hardware defect and a repair/refund??

Cannot access my internet browser on 8520 curve

Please cannot someone help me.
Over the past two days I have not been able to access my brower (8520 curve), can someone please explain why? I can enter a www address but it just reads "loading", the little black box in the top right corner flashes then stops, disappears and nothing else happens. I end up closing it the browser down.
I would be very grateful if someone could help.
Thanks.

Hi there!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your carrier for formal support.

Request to you,Kindly help me because I have suffering is very big problem.
bhogendramishra

Hi bhogendra75,
Welcome to the Community,
I agree with your concern but if an authorize service center says so then there is a little chance of getting it on road,But if you still think that there is no liquid damage then you can try a few things to reassure yourself,and I also think that there is no problem in trying,So we can just try for that have a look :
1.First make sure you have your backup.
2.KB02318 : How to delete all the data or all data and applications on a BlackBerry Smartphone.
3.Installing OS on your device :
Credit sdgardne :
1) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
2) Download BB Desktop Software BlackBerry desktop software
3) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:Carriers ( but make sure it is of the same device model)
4) If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
5) Launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC. If, during the process, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.

Hi,
Seem to be having problems getting a zoom lenz for a 8520 Curve blackberry, the one with lenz on corner of phone.

Some info on a lenz zoom for this blackberry model would be cool!
