You need to go to your control panel and go to programs, and then remove any previous OS that was installed. Leave the one that you want to install.
Then you need to install the OS through the Loader. The loader can be located in the following directory...
In XP: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
In Windows XP, double click the file named "Loader".
In Vista: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
Windows Vista/7: Right click the file named "Loader" and choose "Run as Administrator"
Hello panco469, are you installing the leaked OS or the official OS?
As a reminder, the official OS7.1.0.342 for your BlackBerry Bold 9900 is below;
Official: OS 7.1.0.342 for BlackBerry Bold 9900 Via Telenor Norway
The official. I'm at the loader right now and i can only see the apps. Not the os :(
I uninstall the device manager and open the loader and nothing. Still stuck on the 284
Hello panco469,
You really have to make sure that you have deleted the previous Device Software under Control Panel of your computer. Then, you have to install the OS you want to use for your device on your computer. After the installation of the OS on your computer, get your USB cable, connect it to your computer AND you have to make sure to delete the vendor xml files. To do that, follow this > How To search for & delete your vendor.xml
After deleting the vendor xml files, click the Loader and follow the prompt to install the new OS to your device:
In XP: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
In Windows XP, double click the file named "Loader".
In Vista: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
Windows Vista/7: Right click the file named "Loader" and choose "Run as Administrator"
Try this now and get back to us.. (y)
I think my problem is the vendor. I didnt delete it. Lets see later
I quit. Unistall the device software in control panel. Delete the vendor. Intall the new os, delete the vendor and open up the loader. Nothing happen. I could only see to add or remove the apps. Nothing else
Hello, panco469, I know it can be very frustrating for some members when upgrading either from a leaked or official OS.
I have a solution for you.
Either we continue to find a solution here, or worse case, I am willing to offer you remote assisted help.
Thank you.
If you got time, I'll be glad
I would be more than helpful to solve this issue for you my friend.
Can you please download and install, Team Viewer.
This is what I use to assist any person(s) to help them remotely.
Thank you.
Update for everyone, member panco469 has successfully updated to OS7.1.0.342 for his BlackBerry Bold 9900.
Enjoy my friend:)
Finally on 342. Thx a lot again. I owe u 2 beers now lol
Yeah I'll have to get a rain-check on that though, but thank you for trusting me my friend.
As a reminder for anyone who wishes to update their OS via DM or BBH-Tool, please disable your device password, and make sure you have the latest (stable) Desktop Manager for PC v6.1, and Java version 6 update 31 installed.
Enjoy:)
Hey ToraxCefiro,
He's very happy now, the issues he was experiencing on his computer were numerous and complicated, and unfortunately, I highly doubt anyone here could have solved it, therefore, I decided to take it one step further, and help him via remote assistance.
I'm glad he now has the Official OS7.1.0.342 for his BlackBerry Bold 9900(y)
