The Official BBM 5.0 Help Thread

Everything works great now. Turns out I was downloading the incorrect file for the Tour, since I guess there's a new version? I'll have to do more research.
Thanks so much Seanren, you rock.
Oh, and this is my first BB ever, still learning, but I don't think I'll ever have anything else now.

How are you trying to scan it? Are you opening up BBM then going to add a contact and choosing scan?

ok so i have searced all over the net trying to find a solution to my issue so ill try here as well...im not a total nub when it comes to the BB so here is my issue i have a verizon BB curve 8330 runnin OS 4.5.138 (which should support BBM 5.0) i have tried multiple OTA dl's as well as mulitple DM downloads and keep getting the same error, which are: For the OTA i get download fail 907 invalid COD. when i do the DM install i get incompatible version. I have used the correct verison of the dl and when doing the DM i made sure to put the .jad file in with the correct COD files.

So before i change OS to 4.5.168 form alltel anyone wanna chime in and let me know if im doing something wrong....

Thanks

[jnepsa]

open your browser>bbkey>options> and what is your browser set to, if its not set to Blackberry change it to that and try again

and delete the 4.5 as long as you have a recent backup of your phone..

when you try the DM way you are using the .alx right?

[False Identity]

yes and putting that into the 4.5.0 folder so it pairs with the COD files
