Waiting your feedback!

Initially I also found same problem and this is the first strange problem that I experience since I already did upgrade many many Blackberry in various models. I tried to upgrade a brand new 9220 (Davis) and it happened. After do trial and error several time, finally it works. Its easy, take out the SIM Card, replace the battery and back cover until it shows Error 507 again. You can do the rest with the Loader as mention in standard procedure. Do not forget to erase Vendor.XML file as usuall.

It works well and upgrade succesfully. Hope All of you that have some problem also success with the same way. Cheer

Is there a problem to upgrade with DM vs App Loader. After all xml files are removed both show upgrade available.

With App Loader you'll be able to choose more options on what you want to upgrade. If it doesn't matter to you, I would just use DM.

Great post, thank you.

You need to make sure that you install the OS to your computer first before you start the manual upgrade process. See OS updates here for the 9700... 9700 Bold - Downloads - BlackBerryOS.com

Disconnect everything completely, take the battery out. Then put the battery back in and try re-connecting through BBSAK.

Great to see many old BB users still. Hope to see many more new users at BBOS!

Does this thread apply to the newer phones? Just curious...I remember thinking it would become obsolete eventually...

It can apply to OS 7 phones and older. Except OS 7 phones you don't need to wipe.

For a BB user that is a must read. I bet even the people at BB don't know about this.
