issue installing 5.0.0.230

Greetings all. I'm a n00b here, converting over from a jailbroken and nicely app'd iPhone 3GS to a Curve on Page Plus (until the Storm II comes out on Verizon).

My friend gave me a Verizon curve. I downloaded the new OS and installed it as instructed HERE but it doesn't show the device listed in the loader (nothing listed), even though Vista recognized it when I plugged it in. Questions:

1. is this the correct forum to post in for assistance? If not, where should I?
2. help? :)

Thanks!

Did you double check to delete the vendor file? I have found it in strange places.

Thank you for the response. I found the vendor file in the same folder as the loader and deleted it. I did run the loader once before I realized I skipped that step. Same result though, no device showing in the loader.

I would try doing an advanced search on the C drive. I have found the vendor file several times where it was not suppose to be.

I searched the entire c: drive (no other drives), nothing. Even tried hidden files. Do I need to install the BB desktop software or anything? I don't have that, but I think I should be able to download it from somewhere.

Yes you do need to download the desktop software that will have the app loaded in it.

I've had that issue too and I've found BBSAK to be the cure for that. Loader quite often won't see my Storm using Vista.

I of course downloaded the OS (it has the loader), I thought the desktop software may come with that. Am I mistaken? I will have to find the additional download then I guess.

BBSAK only shows CONNECT, everything else is grayed out. I click CONNECT and nothing happens.

Disconnect your phone and then reconnect. The 1st thing BBSAK should do is ask for a password. If you don't use one just click enter. If your phone still doesn't show up I would suggest deleting everything BlackBerry related, restarting your pc and reinstalling everything. It sounds like it could be a usb driver issue.

I downloaded the BB desktop software, that must have contained the driver I needed. Thanks!

Thanks! Now if I could just figure out how to get push email for gmail/IMAP working through Page Plus, I'll be set!
