CDMA OS 4.5.0.33 Found Online For 8330 & 8830

Nice One! anyone actually get it to load! Do you need to delete the verizon vendor.xml file to get it loaded?

Where is docs to go? I am running the 8830 one and it seems stable but there is no built in Docs to Go that I can see.

Downloaded it but will not installed, even removed the vendor.xml (BTW its blank anyway on that version.)

/sigh I was so hopefull.

I dont see why this wouldnt work on Sprint. However I am stuck, the loader.exe program will not see the new OS for my VZW 8830.

Woooo Did it, and its beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks berryreview!

Well, my Bell 8830 World Edition is rebooting – it seemed to install everything fine…now fingers are crossed LOL

Well my Bell Mobility 8830 is up and running fine with this…now to put it through its paces

Looks pretty slick, though at first glance!

Thanks BerryReview!!!

Ugh, this is for the 8830 World Phone not the 8330 CDMA Curve.

Is there anyway to force this onto the curve?

HTML emails work if your BES server is configured to do so and is running 4.1.5

to configure run this on the db:

UPDATE ServerConfig SET RichContentEnabled = 1 WHERE RichContentEnabled = 0
UPDATE ServerConfig SET RichContentInlineEnabled = 1 WHERE RichContentInlineEnabled = 0
UPDATE UserConfig SET RichContentEnabled = 1 WHERE RichContentEnabled = 0
UPDATE UserConfig SET RichContentInlineEnabled = 1 WHERE RichContentInlineEnabled = 0

works great on my vzw 8830! i did delete the vendor.xml

I made the same mistake, but I am getting a Curve anyway, so downloading both when rapidshare lets me.

Man I hate rapidshare. Via Firefox 3 the 8830 download has “finished” twice now at only 15MB downloaded (rapidshare says it’s 75MB). Annoying since rapidshare makes you wait 10 minutes between download attempts.

For those wondering about HTML email, it WON’T work if you use BIS UNTIL the BIS 2.5 upgrades RIM is supposed to be doing this weekend.

Oh, and there are screen shots around of Docs to Go on a VZW 8830, so if it’s not there on your device, double check that you enabled installing it in Desktop Manager.

Got Docs to go installed but for some reason the Excel module didn’t install. Anyone else with this issue?

The free version of Docs includes Word and PowerPoint, but not Excel. Excel capability is only included in the Premium version ($69).

I cant even get mine to run. I ran the installer it says it installs to my computer, then I run Desktop Manager and it doesn’t show up in the list of programs to be installed. Using BB Desktop 4.3… upgrading to 4.5 to see if it works

RE: Excel
- just download the GridMagic Community edition. And yeah, I hate rapidshare – too slow.

Ok so my install failed for docs on the go. Then it installed and didnt work. Going to reinstall again…. Youtube does not work. Tries to work but error loading file… any suggestions???

Installation went fine on 8330 but having the same problem with not being able to select text.

this is crap, i’ve searched the web high and low and keep reading that 4.5 for the 8130 is “in the wild” but the wild obviously keeps evading me. i can’t find it for the life of me and as far as i can see that is the only current model without a version of 4.5 to dl. someone please tell me if you know where i can get one

So I still can not get youtube to work. I got break.com working but no youtube!

I have a Sprint 8830 and installed it with no problems. I did have to delete the VENDOR.XML file though to get it to start. I am noticing though that I am not able to “hide” or “move” icons though. Anyone have a clue on that?

I have a VZW 8830. I cannot locate my browser and do not have connectivity.

So I have confirmed that outbound SMS does not work on 8330, will test 8830 when I get into the office. SMS inbound does work however trying to send an SMS message you get:
“SMS error 5, message ID XX”
Also would say the device has been running faster, youtube is working, break.com is not (although I didnt know it would work before reading about it here), and I have noticed an issue with typing into text boxes in the browser.

I installed it on my Sprint 8330. Outgoing SMS works fine for me. The only issue i’ve noticed so far is that there is no option to “Delete on Handheld” or “Delete on mailbox”….there is only a “Delete” option. BTW, I had to delete the vendor.xml file to get it to work. Otherwise, it would just hang.

I figured out how to hide/move icons. It is a little different on this version. You hover over the icon and press the menu button. The method does not work in 4.5.

As for bugs, cannot say that I have noticed any on my Sprint 8830. E-mail, SMS, Call quality, BB Messenger, Viigo, etc… all operating as usual. I did notice that when it came from a sleep mode, the hourglass spun for about a full minute the first time and when I accessed my address book as well but it was a one-time occurrence.

Overall, I am quite pleased

Ok, I’m in the process of upgrading now… how long does it take?

It’s been almost half an hour and it’s still going.

Ironically, it finished as I left the last comment. Looks nice, seems to run nice. No problems here so far on a BB 8830 WE for Sprint.

I’m on verizon w/an 8830 and everything works but the SMS. I did not do a total wipe install, so I don’t know if the SMS funkiness is b/c something is lingering. Has anyone with verizon on an 8830 been able to send SMS messages? If so, did you do a full wipe install?

On Verizon Network, SMS OK, You Tube OK, VZ Navigator OK, Internet OK, company email OK, Media Player OK, Everything works perfect! Now Docs to go is another issue. Is it worth the effort to get it to install properly? Also notices free memory before was 21 megs and is now 17 megs without the Docs to Go module……

CC

Ok, I’ve noticed on Sprint, copy and paste doesn’t (high-light text) with the shift button.

For people typing into web browsers, hover over the area you want to input text and begin typing. That works for me.

I seem to have lost my facebook app even though it says it’s installed. That kinda sucks.

@Nikolaus

Thanks. I’ll try that later.

If you disable cursor in column view you can type in fields in the browser easier.

I also don’t have voice notes, but I never did before.

Ok so.. Break.com works but you HAVE to use the emulation for the blackberry browser. Youtube no go. SMS is bugged at best. Phone has froze up a couple times and the media player has crashed the phone. Most of that you all reported.. Whats the deal with the new ringtones… I mean they are not new but boy do they sound different. The mp3′s I have loaded sound no different… But say Tune_Entertainer for example. Used to be very loud and full sounding. Now its sounds like crap! Very tiny and no bass to it at all… Midi engine changed??

Downgrade or try a reinstall. Its beta. I have seen no posts to fix these type of problems…

How did you get the phone working?? Sms sucks for sure. I can receive sms from friends.. From the web… Just not from the same network

To downgrade uninstall os 4.5 from ur programs in the control panel of ur computer. Reinstall 4.2 and connect ur phone. Should downgrade you. Search online for downgrade instructions if you need more detail

-sent via OS4.5-

did u download directly from the blackberry site or another site?

i did from a 3rd party site. i’m doing from blackberry now.

i just want to be able to send sms. is that so much to ask for?

A pseudo fix for the Browser text field issue is to uncheck “Enable cursor in column view” under Browser Options > General Properties. The browser will feel like the old 4.2 browser, but at least it’ll be usable.

Version 4.5.0.33 works fine on my 8830 VZW

Woohoo! Verified! Thanks Eric. I dont know if they have fixed it our if my workaround is the fix. I am on Bell and had problems all day yesterday. Messed with the SMS and voila! Cool to know I actually figured something out before the rest of the world lol!!!

Upgraded 4.5.0.33 last night on 8830 with Verizon – Required deleting vend0r.xml file

Used these install instructions: http://goesmobile.jhosie.mobi/2008/06/blackberry-pearl-8100-software-upgrade.html

They are NOT specifically for the 8830, but they work none the less.

* Noticed select button no longer works for selecting multiple emails (to delete) or selecting anything (I really miss this feature!)
* Media Player looks nice, but is buggy; hangs on movies and some won’t play anymore. – Sometimes have to reset phone to resolve hung state.
* SMS wasn’t working, but after following “Canson” instructions “Thanks man!”
* To Enable HTML e-mail on BES Server: http://www.blackberryforums.com/bes-admin-corner/125787-howto-enable-disable-html-email-processing-bes-4-1-sp5.html

Enabled this feature, restarted phone and BES Server and HTML Email Rocks!

* HTML Support to all others: http://justanothermobilemonday.com/Wordpress/2008/06/21/blackberry-finally-gets-html-email/

There is supposed to be a network upgrade this weekend to enable full native HTML email support.

*Pressing center ball to wake up selects whatever the cursor is over automatically (annoying and hard to retrain myself to press a different key to wake up from sleep)
*Youtube works nicely although a bit pixelated at times but sound quality is superb.
*Love the updates to the daily calendar view, Address book, and browser
*For you road warriors out there, I came across vlingo “http://downloads.vlingo.com” today and am very impressed with it (free speech to text utility).
*GoogleMaps 2.2.0 works well (no GPS though, thanks Verizon!). Wish BBerry Maps had Cellular Triangulation. For that matter, wish Verizon allowed GPS; heck, why not wish for a Bentley while I’m at it.

All in all I like the updates, can live with the bugs (now that SMS is working), and can’t wait for future releases.

Canson,

Not sure if this will do anything, but on Verizon they use servicebooks to allow the phone to know what it can do on Verizon’s network. At one point I knew a way to delete all the service books but I forgot. You can request a service book update from the BES Server and also from Verizon directly. To request a service book update from Verizon access your e-mail settings on the blackberry. Once logged into your account you can click a link for servicebook update which will re-sync with your phone. From BES right click your name and select “Send Servicebook update”.

If this doesn’t fix the problem you could double check the security Firewall to verify nothing is getting blocked.

Last resort would be to Backup your device and wipe the handheld. Options / Security Options / General Settings / Options Key / Wipe Handheld.

After the wipe I would see if youtube works. If not just restore. If it does work have fun reinstalling your apps…

P.S. Don’t ever pull out the battery again use Ctrl+Alt+Del or for the BBerry “Lt ALT+ Rt Shift + Del”

Hope something here helps.

Canson,
Have you tried to delete all the service books, then resend?

http://support.appriver.com/Customer/KBArticle.aspx?articleid=205

When does the error occur, before selecting a video, clicking a video, or opening in the media player?

Ok my bad. No service books have a red x that was my certificates. What service books should I delete?? Should I really delete them all???

I’m gonna compromise and try installing this on my “old” BB 8830 and see how it goes. Not quite ready to risk Beta software on my Curve.

I had installed unite! 1.01 before OS4.5 I can see there is an IT policy called Bluetooth tracking. How the hell do I get this thing off of here???

I’m also having a problem with playing youtube videos. It comes up with a message Javascript is not enabled. However, in my settings it shows enabled. Tried resetting but no luck. Anyone else having this problem?

I installed the 8330 version on Verizon last night and I couldnt send SMS messages

I tried everything i could to get it to work with no luck.
I down graded back.

If anyone gets a version working on a 8330 without the SMS problem let me know.
My PIN is 319F92F8

Has anyone figured out a way to select text yet?

selecting text works the same as before for me.

The menu option, never knew about the shift+trackball option. Just tried that and it does not work anymore (but does on my non-updated curve). Also works in the browser.

Anyone figure out the deal with the friggin trackball clicking?

Anyone’s keyboard backlight not working? Am i missing an option to turn it on?

They play fine for me as well. I also got a restart when trying to save a movie.

The new BIS is running on Verizon now so if you’ve installed the software linked above you should be getting it now. If not go to the link you posted and resend your service books and pull the battery for a few seconds. When finishes booting go into the messagins section and mane sure HTML email is enabled from there. Mine was by default but some people have to enable it manually.

Just so you are on the same page, understand something, the BB has the ability to VIEW HTML email, not generate it and when you reply to html email it turns it into plain text.

I just enabled it I didnt have the option till I resent the service books I still dont see HTML I view my email from the messages link is that correct It shows all messages in there SMS,Email,and missed calls

I got everything working dont see any issues I am able to play movies on you tube and can now pass the test for playing movies from ORB (there test files work)but unable to play my own library Alot further then I was with 4.3

Stumbled on this messing with ORB there is a Flash player in version 4.5

ORB? as in the streaming music website? I can load the page but it says they are on version 2.0 for both the web and the desktop

As for BBtext2IM mine seems to work to receive texts but not sure if it is sending them OK

I have it working perfectly on my Verizon 8330 BB I had to uninstall the desktop manager 4.3 and install the 4.5 version to get it to load the new OS. As I said I only found that I had to change my Jive Talk setting from TCP to BES
I can even stream video and audio to it including Internet TV

SPD2612, question for you. When you say “including Internet TV” what are you referring too?

I know YouTube works and I am very much looking forward to Sling Player to release a BlackBerry version but is there a site I don’t know about that steams actual live TV?

For you guys with problems with youtube what language is it defaulting to?

I couldn’t get desktop manager to recognize the os at all and used all versions, so I made it update it by replacing the folders for 4.3 with 4.5, and then I also noticed that none of my videos would work, not .mp4 or .3gp, other than that is was fine, if anyone has any tips for installing this because I could really use it, please email me at lazarusgomab@gmail.com

I read somewhere that RIM as going to release one but the only betas I’ve hard of anyone having are the curve and 8830.

BlackBerry OS 4.5.0.51 for CDMA 8330, 8830

http://blackberryfree.blogspot.com/2008/07/blackberry-os-45051-for-cdma-8830.html

Downloading now…

Anyone else had problems w/ Spint TV and Sprint Radio not working? I have the 8330

Uh Sprint TV works on all versions

NOTE regarding 4.5.0.51 Upgrade – When I upgraded my phone it deleted all my apps and didn’t put them back and I had to download them again manually; however, I didn’t mind so much because I had a-lot of junk installed.

Also, during the upgrade process the 1st time the application didn’t complete the upgrade and I thought my phone was hosed. I rebooted my phone (Left Alt + Right Up Arrow + Del) while connected to the USB cable, re-started the BlackBerry Desktop 4.5, and re-ran the upgrade which completed the 2nd time successfully.

Lastly I didn’t have to delete the veodor.xml file Sweet! but I did loose all my ota downloaded themes.

Highly recommend running a backup before upgrading your phone.

looks like it’s no longer available. Anybody know where else it could be found?

i fond this site http://rs156.rapidshare.com/files/128710292/8330CDMA_PBv_4.5.0_rel74_PL3.2.0.41_A4.5.0.51.exe

seems to be a link for os 4.5.0.51 cdma for the 8330, im downloading it now, I hope it works better than the last.

k i dont know why either but if ur having problems like me and canson at #80 i tried his method of going into your options and then to sms txt changing the priority from normal to urgent and then saving then switching it back to normal and saving it once again and then turn off your phone and then take out ur battery, put it back in and then start it up it should work again. Weird??? i know it sounds stupid but it works. whatever gets the job done…

Hey lonewolf:
First off what are you doing installing such old beta software? Several newer betas are posted about here at BerryReview!

As to fixing your device, you probably have to do a device full wipe from Desktop Manager, or you could try playing with JavaLoader GUI:
http://www.berryreview.com/2008/10/27/advanced-users-blackberry-master-control-program-09-alpha-the-ultimate-javaloader-gui/

I personally have yet to find a stable 4.5 beta for my VZW 8830. YMMV.

David, what’s wrong with the .77 beta? Works great for me.
