BlackBerry® Curve™

[Lukerd123]

Heya, I've had this phone for 1 and half year now and I've NEVER had an update.

BBM never updates when most peoples have.
My bb app world never updated and most things says
"This app is not available on your device or your Carrier"

At the moment my phone on from the wireless update thing: 4.6.1.314

1. What model Curve do you have, there are about ten different Curve models, look at Options > About.

2. Who is your carrier/mobile provider?

3. You can install the latest BBMessenger from the BlackBerry browser at www.blackberry.com/bbm

4. You can install the latest AppWorld from the BlackBerry browser at www.blackberry.com/appworld

This will upgrade you to device OS5

Device operating system releases are "released" by specific carriers once they have certified and trained their support techs, but still, you are able to load to any carrier's same model by following the instructions below.

See the link below for the download, and follow these simple installation instructions.

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.

Note: Some users might worry they will void their device warranty by loading an OS from another carrier. There is really nothing to worry about. Please read more information on that here: http://www.port3101.org/power-users/296-blackberry-os-upgrade-including-betas-myths-dispelled.html
