Won't Update my Bold 9900 to OS7.1

Device info
Virgin Mobile (Canada)
Blackberry Bold 9900 and OS 7 Bundle 2406 (v7.0.0.585, Platform 5.0.0.734)
Space isn't an issue, I've got well over 5gb left on the device itself. Battery pull wont fix this problem.
I have tried five times to update my Bold from OS 7 Bundle 2406 to OS 7.1 and each time this error has come up after downloading the OS and shooting through a majority of the files, it gets stuck at 128 files remaining (to download).

I'm having the same issues. I've tried everything I can think of, updating iTunes, tried the Restore function a few times ... I can't update the software version to anything higher than v1.1.
This is my second Nike+ Kit. My first one was doing the same thing, it doesn't provide the correct pace or distance, skips in and out. I originally thought it was the sensor/receiver of the Nike+, but perhaps it's the Nano software version that's the problem. I'm about ready to give up!

Desktop Manager won't work with Bold 9900 no matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall!

This really is a shambles and Blackberry are no help!! Can you guys help!! My blackberry won't SYNC with my computer! I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, it isn't ideal at all!
Any tips, I connect device and for hours it comes up on device manager, 'Connecting' nothing changes!
Anyone provide any tips on how I can get this to work.
I have been downloading device manager 7.0 but it doesnt work and Blackberry arent interested in helping!

OH! So this isn't really a sync problem, but a connectivity problem between the BB and the Desktop Software (lack of sync is a cascaded symptom, but connectivity is the root issue)...much different! In which case, here is the list of troubleshooting articles...hopefully something will be useful:

Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Also check on conflicting software...it has been reported that the software package NTI Shadow&Ninja can cause a conflict; removing them and reinstalling the BB desktop software allows it to install correctly.
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. Also apologies if any are not presently available...RIM takes them up and down at will as they revise things.
Hopefully something there is helpful!

Bold 9900 won't update using desktop software

hello,
I have mountain lion on my Mac - using desktop software to update my bold 9900 to 7.1.0.2061.
It gets stuck after backing up third party applications and I get the error message - The device data could not be backed up, ensure that you can backup data on your device and try again.
I have done a factory reset and still same message. What is the problem? It won't run the update at all. Have backed up using blackberry protect as desktop software won't back up.
Any ideas?
thanks!

This could be caused by a third-party application. Have you tried to uninstall non critical "exotic" apps before launching the backup process?
Secondly, do you have enough space available on your computer hard disk?
The backup function works as expected on my Mac for 3 different BB devices.
Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)

Blackberry Bold 9900 OS software update from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0

Helo Everyone
I tried to upgrade my Blackberry Bold 9900 device software from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 but having difficulties. I tried using the Blackberry Desktop Manager but there was no version 7.1.0 listed among the available updates. Even when I tried to do it directly via the Blackberry official website, Version 7.1.0 was also not listed. Finally I tried to do the update with my phone directly by accessing: Options>Device>Software Updates.
It displayed my Current Version of 7.0.0 Bundle 2406 and an available version 7.1.0 Bundle 1149. But when I Clicked Perform Update to download the new version it showed preparing to download but then displayed an error message such as "The download cannot continue because your device cannot connect to the update server using any of the following methods:Wi-Fi".
Meanwhile, I did not perform the upgrade with Wi-Fi because I have an active blackberry data subscrip of 2GB from my mobile network provider.
Please I need help on how to perform the upgrade from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 with the latest Bundle.
Thank you all as i await your kind solution.
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
5) 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
6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, 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.
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:
KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software
Good luck and let us know!

BB Bold 9900 Won't Backup, pls advise!

I just got a new MacBook Air -- I guess it's running Mountain Lion (10.8.4) - and I'm having problems backing up my Berry (didn't have any recent issues w my old computer). Is there a flaw w the Mountain Lion software? BB Desktop Software said I needed an update -- I tried three times and apparently it didn't take. Help!

Hey Silverlakerr,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
I suggest uninstalling BlackBerry Desktop Software and then download the latest version from www.blackberry.com/desktop then restart the Mac.
Then plug in the BlackBerry Bold 9900 smartphone and attempt to create a backup and let me know if you receive any errors.
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Why I'm giving up my Q10 to go back to the Bold 9900

Hi,
I wanted to take this opportunity to detail my experiences and frustrations with the Q10 and why I have decided to return to the Bold 9900. I'd like to stress that these opinions are my own. I recognize that the industry has a whole has embraced the touch screen concept. But I believe this change isn't right for everyone as I hope to demonstrate below.
I am a very stanch supporter of the traditional Blackberry. I work in IT for a nearly 2,000 user organization. We have 36 IT people on staff and I am the only one still using a Blackberry. I choose to remain with my Bold 9900 for the sole reason that it is the most efficient device I have ever used. Every operation I'd ever want to perform with the device is only 2 or three physical clicks away and perhaps just as importantly, thanks to having physical buttons, those actions are performed in exactly the same way every time. It becomes muscle memory and can be performed regardless of the current state of the device. When the Q10 was announced, you'd be hard pressed to find someone more excited then me. I very much wanted this phone to succeed.
I have now been using the Q10 for a few days now and have encountered a number of what I personally consider show stopper functionality issues. These are issues that I believe are not simply related to my lack of familiarity with touch screens but an issue innate to the touchscreen concept itself. Some issues could be resolved through software updates while others simply cannot.
I have detailed a few of the more pressing frustrations I have below.
- First and foremost, I use an application on the 9900 called "ShortcutMe" by Fonware. This application allows you to write custom macros and assign them to any key on the keyboard. This provides a massively increased efficiency. From any application I'm in, I can press the same 3 physical buttons to have the phone launch anything I want (End Key to get to the main menu, space bar to activate shortcut me, the letter that matches up to the macro). For example, I have macros to quickly launch the flashlight as well as more complex macros to automatically toggle between enabling and disabling Caller ID. I decided to swtich devices when I discovered that Shortcutme now exists for OS10. Immediately after purchasing it however I received an email from Fonware stating that Blackberry currently doesn't allow access to any of the API's required for the macro functionality to work. They apologized. Because of these closed APIs, I can no longer map all of the functions I use the phone to physical keys which completely negates one of the biggest benefits there are to having an always present physical keyboard
- In messages, if you want to select "mark prior read" you can't because due to the nature of a touch screen, there is no concept of highlighting an object. A compromise exists where you click and hold on the date and then select "mark as read" from a popup menu that appears. However, this only appears to work for the start of each day. If you want to select all messages before a message in the middle of the day, you cannot. Additionally, the compromise forces you to select messages one at a time by tapping on them. I often receive bursts of automated alert messages that could be 30 or more messages in a row. With a track pad, I was able to quickly select just those messages mark them as read. I see no way of completing the same task as quickly with a touch screen
- A purely touchscreen interface demands restraint on behalf of the developers when building UI elements to provide a consistent experience. For example when you hold the phone in your hand, your thumb naturally rests on the keyboard and is within reach of all the keys, and where the trackpad and physical keys were. It would also be within reach of the bottom right of the screen where the back button often -- but not always -- is. For example, if you scroll through your messages and select one to read, the back button is at the bottom of the screen in easy reach. However, if you now try to reply to a message, the cancel button (which performs the same operation as back) is now at the physical top of the screen which requires you to completely shift how you're holding the phone to reach.
- Like all touchscreens, if your finger is slightly touching some other portion of the screen and you try to select an option, the phone doesn't respond until shift the phone in your hand so that you're so that you're only touching the button you intended. This results in unintended actions that simply cannot occur with a non-touch screen device.
- You can no longer access internal memory as a USB mass storage device. I wanted to copy a traditional telephone ring tone to the phone (because one is no longer included) but could not simply copy the file to the device through Windows Explorer. I had to insert my microSD card before this was possible.
- Blackberry is not allowing apps to run in the background which means my two must have apps (Shortcutme and Bebuzz) don't work as intended. In the case of Bebuzz, you're forced to leave an active frame opened with it to function.
- The applications shortcuts functionality no longer exists. For example, I can no longer press L to get to the calendar or hold K to lock the device. Instead it searches the device. On OS7, I could get to the same functionality by first pressing s. However, it was much more common that I wanted to jump between applications so why this is not a toggleable option is beyond me. (Admittedly, I do know why. OS10 is a completely different code base which means all of the subtle optimizations made to the legacy code base no longer exist and they are starting from scratch.)
- Memopad was replaced by Remember. Memopad was by design a simple application that served only one purpose -- quickly make notes about something quickly. Memopad was instant. Blackberry Remember admittedly has many more features but those features come at a cost of efficiency and usability. If these features were desired, they could have been made available in a separate app. There is a reason that notepad exists on Windows despite almost all systems also shipping with Word or similar. Also, when you do finally use the Remember application to enter text, you only get a tiny portion of the middle of the screen to actually see your entry. On the Bold 9900, you can see 12 lines of text. In remember, that is reduced to just 5.
- It is possible to use every function of the Bold 9900 with one hand thanks to the trackpad. This is far more difficult with the Q10. For example, try selecting and copying text that exists at the top of the screen on the Q10 with one hand.
- Playing solitaire and other card games on the Bold 9900 is simple enough to do and can be done with one hand and with little physical motion. Trying to play Solitaire on the Q10 is more cumbersome as it requires two hands in order to comfortably reach both sides of the screen. You also end up blocking the card you are trying to select with your finger. This may seem like a more esoteric example but its representative of the kinds of issues you have when trying to use a touch only interface
I could go on but I think it's clear where my frustrations lie. Blackberry has decided to abandon their most distinguishing competitive edge (the keyboard) and instead embrace the touch screen concept just like everyone else. And that is a shame.
If anyone shares any of these frustrations, please reply to this message and share your experiences. I'm curious if I am as unique in my opinions as it sometimes feels like.
Thanks
- Robert Vance

Hi Robert,
I have a similar background and thought process as yourself. I have been a die hard Blackberry guy. I have had
(2) 8250's (with the side roller)
(2) 8330 Curve
8900 Torch
(3) Playbook's
My kids (2) 9360 Curve
9900 Bold
Tried the Z10 and now the Q10.
I am normally very patient with technology. My rule is that I do not use the device until I have read the ENTIRE manual before I use it for the first time.
After using the Z10 for 2 weeks and the Q10 for a week, I will be going to a Samsung Galaxy S4. I am incredbily frustrated and not even sure that the S4 is the right solution.
Nothing can beat the track pad for efficency. My 9900 is simply bogging under the pressure of my use (over 5000 contacts and hundreds of pages of notes). I even deleted everything I can off the 9900 to make it last as long as I could.
The Q10 simply lacks the refinement we were promised. At it's core, it is not effecient and I cannot see how they will make it better. Calendar additions used to be 2 clicks, now it is 5 and I have to wait for things to load. On top of that, my bridge does not work properly (no contacts, no email, no calendar, no notes).....what is the point?
Here is what I cannot do well or at all
Select specific text
back out of certain areas without closing the app and going back in
Easily tell what email address I am sending from (I have 5 address for various reasons)
Shorcuts (that might just be me not doing enough research)
Easy notes (although I did find an app, but it will not hook up with my Outlook)
Google Maps
Enter Calendar events quickly
Mark multiple messages read or unread
Turn my phone off and have the alarm go off in the morning (Bedside mode is the new "OFF")
Entering Bedside mode is not easy (That I have found)
While I am on the subject of the Playbook, it has become very slow and almost unusable. Even something as simple as bringing up the keyboard or turning down the volume has a huge delay.
I have even developed and built a company on using the Playbook, but am now thinking of abandoning the entire platform....I live near Waterloo (the home of Blackberry).
I am VERY frustrated and do not know what to do. I feel like I cannot go back to the 9900 due to the slow downs and lock ups that I was experiencing. I WILL NOT go to iPhone (my kids have had several iDevices), my only choice seems to be the S4......

BBM version 6.1.0.49 - my bbm contacts cant see my Dp when i change it (Bold 9900 )

Hello,
I just bought my blackberry a few days go and I can’t see the display image of BBM contacts and they also cant see mine.
The only time I could see their display image is when they change it.
I tried changing my and they still can’t see it.
I have tried the following
1.       Updated OS to version 7.0.0 bundle 2406
2.       Updated BBM to v6.1.0.49
3.       Registered by BBM via the HRT
Go to Options
Select the Advance Options
Select Host Routing Table
Choose the “BOLD” point
Press your BB menu
Select Register Now
Then it would be showing some message, “Your Handheld registered with the wireless network..”
Restart your BlackBerry devices.
4.       Rebooted & Restarted after each update
5.       Removed the battery and restarted
6. Used Desktop manager to delete and reinstall BBM
7. Downgraded BBM version from 6.1.0.49 to 6.0.032 to 6.0.0.25
8. Downgraded OS system from Version 7 latest to the version 7 before it
9. Deleted and reinstalled app world
10. in fact i have done everything i can possibly think of and still have the same problem and result
At first I thought this would be ok after adding several BBM contacts, but I have added up to 10 contacts today and still cant see their display image and they too cant see mine.
I would really appreciate assistance on this.
Kind regards

Personal email AND Enterprise email on Bold 9900?

I have my own personal blackberry Bold 9900 that I am using for work as well. I wiped it and did the Enterpise activation..great...work emails now coming in.
But now I can't add my personal emails...
So the question is, if I wipe it again, and add my personal emails (gmail, outlook.com) BEFORE I do the enterprise activation...will I still be ableto send receive from my personal accounts as well as have my work email?
Thanks,
M

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
The first thing to do is ask your BES admins if they restrict, via IT Policy, the use of personal email on BES-activated BBs. If they do, then you have your choice to make...work only, or personal only. If you choose personal only, then you will need to conduct a specific WIPE:
KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory settings using BlackBerry Desktop Software
If they don't restrict personal email, then 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...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull 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.
If you never de-integrated your personal email accounts from the BB, then they actually should return to it now without you having to do anything further.
I actually recommend getting BES going first, and then adding personal email accounts after it's working well.
Good luck!

Desktop Mgr 5.1 will not synch Outlook 2007 addresses/contacts now that rogers email added to my Bold 9900

I have a BB bold 9900, use Outlook 2007 on my desktop pc, and use BB Desktop Manager v. 5.1. I used to be able to synch my BB 9900 for calendar, contacts, and memopad, until I added a data pack to my Rogers account and set up the BB 9900 to receive copies of my ****@rogers.com emails. Then all of a sudden when I went to synch the BB, everything else synched ok, except the Address Book (contacts). I got a message saying "the default service for your device's "Address Book" is no longer available. The new service is *****@rogers.com..." [ie. my email address]. It went on to say that if I wanted to try to use my original default service (which I do, I want it to synch addresses between the blackberry and my outlook 2007 contacts, which has always worked before), I should go to "advanced options" and "default services" on the BB9900, and try to reset it. I did this, but the only "option" the blackberry allows me to have for synching addresses is "[my email]@rogers.com". I am reluctant to choose this "new" system, because I suspect it means it will synch my blackberry contacts with the rogers.com online address book, which I have never used. Is that a correct assumption by the way? I have over 2000 contacts, and I've been very busy the past few weeks so have not had a chance to solve this problem (i've simply just been synching everything other than my contacts/addresses, but in the meantime, i've made several changes to them on both the blackberry and outlook, so it's important that I be able to synch those two databases in order to update them.) I would prefer not to update my Desktop Manager from 5.1 because that version has always worked flawlessly for me, and I have heard of people having major synching problems with later versions. Rogers wouldn't help me with the problem, but "hinted" that it might be a setting in the DM 5.1 that needs to be adjusted. Any advice from anyone on how to rectify this? thanks in advance

how many calendars do you have on your device?

PC WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE bb bOLD 9900

i bought a new computer with Windows 8 OS. I downloaded the BB desktop manager to be able to sync the PC with the BB Bold 9900. It gives me an error 1723 with the following message. "DLL required could not be run. Action: Repair rim Usb Driver. NT.07D232B6_7904_4970_8B22_8FA..."
The Microsoft community suggested I unregister and re register Windows installer. I did that but still when I connect the phone to the PX via the USB it is not recognized.
I contacted HP support and after 30 minutes of questions the guy suggested I contact BB support. I don't see a direct link to BB support only this link. Can anyone help?

Are you on Win8 or Win8.1, as the other poster who reported an identical issue? In either case, I don't find any useful KBs on the matter...you might have better luck searching:
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/microsite.do
But, if you are on Win8.1, then I'm starting to suspect a compatibility issue...AFAIK, the Desktop Software is compatible up to Win8, but perhaps not with Win8.1. Refer:

BB Bold 9900 APP ERROR 200.....HELP!!!

I have a BB Bold 9900 and has the white screen with App Error 200 Reset screen, I have tried taking the battery out and plugging it into computer to reset it but comes up with the update screen and then says repair and then says No BB device updates available...what do I do now as just have an exspensive brick????? thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB30100 "JVM 200" appears on the BlackBerry smartphone
Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.
You also might want to do an OS reload. The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:

If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, 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.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try the "Bare Bones OS Reload Procedure" to attempt to narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.

Bold 9900 not powering up no RED light

Hi,
A day back my Bold 9900 was hung while checking email, it remained for around 15 mts and I had to pull out the battery, since then it never powered up. Tried every tip and tricks of the forum but to no rescue.
The LED red light does not come up with / without battery and with /without charger connected and neither does it boot. I guess that motherboard power must be available as trackpadpad is showing gleamy sensor light inside.
Please help me with a technical solution.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Tried charging quickly/endlesslywithout battery, inserting battery while charging, tried apploader, tried connecting through desktop / web software update, tried getting detection of hardware through desktop to no success etc, and almost navigated all the solutions/workarounds/tricks posted in support forums. But all in vein. What could have possibly gone wrong ? Is it hardware failure ? Have not tried battery replacement as there was no issue with battery while it was working.

Bold 9900 Finnish language

Hello,
Is it possible to install Finnish language and keyboard layout on BlackBerry Bold 9900 model? Thank You!

Thank You for the answer. I Downloaded and installed the desktop software and updates. The software shows a number of different language packs, but not Finnish. Is it possible that Finnish version of the phone doesn`t even exist?
Thanks!
Hi
If there is no Finnish language listed in the latest version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager for your device, you'll need to contact your service provider to see is there is a Finnish language pack available for your 9900.
As can be seen on this and other forums, not all languages are available for BlackBerry devices.
Good luck

Is it possible to manually copy contact list from bold 9900 to computer without using Desktop Manager

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.
Please let me know
Victor
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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!

First thing? Check the File Free at Options > Status, what is the number at File Free?
Now, leaving the device powered ON, remove the battery of your device, hold a minute, replace and reboot.
