so ive run into my first issue updating my BB 8320 i tried installing the new OS to my phone i deleted the vendor.xml and installed the OS using the loader.exe.

everything went fine when phone rebooted i get the hour glass spinning over and over for about 30 minutes ive tried a battery pull i have no mem card in and i have tried using JL but for some reason it isnt starting up in my OS vista 64-bit i tried running as admin and still no luck

is there something im missing here??? ive tried using the search key about vista and i didnt see anything any help would be much appreciated

Welcome to the forums.

I believe your mistake was pulling the battery while the hour glass was spinning. I have seen posters state that they've waited upwards an hour. Patience is your friend when upgrading OS's.

I would try to run the Loader.exe again and see if it connects.

If you go to zeroconferencecost.com Never pay for another conference call again, you can get unlimited conferencing with replay for free forever. I'm not sure how long this promotion will last so pass it along to anyone who you think will benefit. They are trying to sell other services, but you don't need to sign up for anything to get the free offer. Pretty good way to kick off 2009.

If u still have problems try on an xp machine. I have updated several phone then one day nothing. But it does just sound like u need to waite. You might have to wipe it clean and start over if the battery pull affected the update.

gotta love spam.

anyways i just plugged my phone back in and it booted it but the OS is still the old version which is weird because it said the update completed i guess ill have to try again also i already backed up my info erased the vendor.xml is there anything else i should do before trying again also next time i wont do a battery pull until the phone loads

like you said patience is a virtue i must learn thanks for the quick response by the way

I would just verify that you have 4.5 installed on your PC in add/remove programs. I would uninstall any other versions you may have installed just to be safe.

Try to run the installer again and be patient as it may take a while. Report back with any issues or hopefully a success story!

Success just got done installing 4.5.0.152/4.5.0.110 to my curve its running a little smoother still takes forever to start up guess i just have to have some more patience
