I couldnt get DM to load it either so I DID remove the old version and reloaded it. Worked GRRRRREAT. Thanx to all who have posted help to those of us who were having problems.

**DJYoshi** · 07-18-2009, 12:23 AM

trying to install on the storm. tried OTA and Desktop. OTA started to do it...but then just stopped b/c of a 904 file not found..now I lost the BBM icon and it's not showing up in my apps.... but people can still BBM me which is good...

when I try to do it over the desktop it gives me the error:
this application is not compatible with your device.

can someone email me the alx and cod files that are valid for the 9530 over 4.7.151?

Yes Sir. I'm tethered up to my device for my internet connection. Just as soon as I disconnect I WILL accept your request my friend.

While I'm tethered, I can only receive calls, SMS and MMS messages.

Success. Install Blackberry OS version 4.5.0.160 (up from 4.5.0.77 because of lost icon). After install new OS, used blackberry desktop manager to install BBM. Nice! Works great and icon reappeared. thanks for everyone's help. it was the OS.

Hello gpinav and welcome to BBOS.

Please indicate which device you are trying to upgrade.

Which OS are you running with said device?

Thanks

Fantastic robsoule,

You sound like you are well on your way now. Hope you have enjoyed you visit here at BBOS.

Stop in anytime for whatever you may need. Better yet just stop in to stick around if you like.

Read through all messages and none helped me... tried to get BBM 5 onto my Pearl 8130 using the Curve OS 4.5 as suggested before. I have OS 4.5.0.89 on my Pearl. I did the following:
1. Downloaded and extracted zip file
2. Moved alx file to Program Files/Common Files/RIM/Shared/Loader and cod files into JAVA
3. Opened DM and application loader in there
4. BBM had update so hit next and update loaded
5. Phone rebooted and now no icon
6. BBM 5 is in application list
7. Checked under permissions and is on allow

HELP?!
