CDMA OS 4.5.0.33 Found Online For 8330 & 8830

8330os45[1]It seems like CDMA users won’t be too far behind GSM users with OS 4.5 this time around. Links to OS 4.5.0.33 for the BlackBerry 8330 & 8830 are popping up all over the web. We have already had 3 different sets of links sent in to us as tips over the last day.

I tried the 8330 OS on a Sprint 8330 and a friend tried the 8830 OS on a Verizon 8830 and both work well. There are some reports on the 8830 having voice quality issues.

Just as an example of how easy these OS 4.5 links are to find:

8830 CDMA – 8830CDMA_Public_4.5.0_rel48_4.5.0.33.exe

8330 CDMA – 8330CDMA_Public_4.5.0_rel48_4.5.0.33.exe

NOTE: I would not recommend installing these OSs on your Berry if you don’t know what you are doing. Even if you do these may cause problems!!!

    Browser, email, sms (incoming and outgoing) and making/receiving calls all work fine on VZW 8830, I did resend the service books (though I probably didn’t need to) but did not delete any. The only odd thing I;ve noticed is that the first day the phone seemed slowwwwww but the next day response time was about the same as before.

    @Tim: Are you using shift+trackball to select text, or choosing Select from the menu? And have you tried to select text in the browser?

  4. Posted by: Tim
    June 29, 2008 at 5:27 pm EST

    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.

    Carson,

    If you want to eliminate the IT Policy you’ll have to wipe the device : Options > Security Options > General Settings > Blackberry button – Wipe Handheld.

    Be sure to back up all data because it will erase everything. It also gives to option to preserve 3rd party apps.

    Other than that, youll have to you the JD Builder, which pretty much forces you to eliminate the OS and youll have to reinstall the 4.5. Let me know

    8830 used to be able to play 3GP encoded movies. New version 4.5 will only play .mp4 encoded movies.

    Tried to save a Youtube video and phone locks up and must be restarted.

    Is there away to get HTML Email when you are not on a Enterprise server My mail is a normal POP account that was setup and then registered at https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=vzw

  12. Posted by: Tim
    June 30, 2008 at 5:30 pm EST

    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.

    Working like a champ on my vzw 8830. Upgraded to docs to go pro and it too works awesome. Got a memory leak, but I had that before. Also can’t seem to reognize my sd card on the desktop though I’m going to try a reformat to see if that works…. Love it.

    Grrrr… So frustrated to see everyone getting youtube to work and I can not. blueapple.mobi allows me to stream… sorta… break.com works. I have a red padlock on my firewall from Unite! still. Pass a blank IT policy to it and cleared the bluetooth policy but cannot turn the damn firewall off. Maybe this is why youtube dont work?? Also.. when I connect to youtube and actually try to stream it begins downloading and even shows the amount of time the file is… Just never play and then errors out… Any suggestions?? Also anyone get BBtext2IM working???

    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?

  25. Posted by: SPD2612
    July 1, 2008 at 7:55 am EST

    There are lots of Internet live TV sites I access all media including live TV sites thru my ORB server You could even set ORB up to watch your own TV

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

  27. Posted by: Megabite
    July 1, 2008 at 4:36 pm EST

    Adding up to the YouTube thing, I have sprint CDMA service and it works great. I have the browser emulation set to blackberry and I also use the following URL to access the site: http://m.youtube.com
    I’ve notice that if I enter http://www.youtube.com I have some problems viewing it site.

    Another idea, have you guys done a device wipe after or before installing, I think it helps to eliminate any extra bagage the os might have or get after the install.

    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

    You ned to rename or delete the file Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader/vedor.xml This file blocks OS installs not meant for your device. I always rename it because in case you want or need it back.

    Blackberry OS 4.5.0.51 for CDMA 8830 and 8330

    http://bbjunky.com/2008/07/blackberry-os-45051-for-cdma-8830-and-8330/

    Loaded it last night onto my Verizon 8830.
    * Select using the Shift key now works
    * SMS still works
    * Youtube video is much better quality (still can’t save but at least it doesn’t crash when trying to save).
    * Pressing center track ball when sleeping does NOT also select the application (works as expected.)

    Have fun!

    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.

    I’ve been running this for the last week with NO problems on my Verizon 8830. The upgrade did take almost 45 min though, so don’t panic if it seems like it’s taking a long time!

    Scroll down to find the right firmware. Before you update your phone, delete the vendor.xml file, then connect the phone and voila!

    You should put an “update” comment on all these old beta OS threads noting when there’s a posting here about a newer version!

    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…

    I tried the update – now my vzw 8830 boots to homepage and freezes. Tried battery pulls, connecting to desktop, but nada. Have I bricked my phone?

    October 27, 2008 at 8:26 am EST

    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.
