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!!!

    Not worth the trouble and here’s why:
    - No Docs to Go
    - HTML email does not work yet
    - Some Apps and Themes will break

    I did it am am now looking to go back to 4.2.196

    June 25th, 2008 14:40

    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

    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.

    Up and running on Sprint 8330. I haven’t upgraded BES to 4.1.5 yet, so the HTML is not working. I’m interested in the geotracking under the camera options. Had to delete the vender.xml used BB Desktop Mgr 4.3 to install.

    So I have it running on both 8830 World Phones and 8330 Curves (both Verizon).

    I have 4.1.5 BES and have enabled HTML emails. It VERY cool. No more super long URLs in the middle of emails.

    Still feeling it out, I am also missing the excel, have the power point and word docs apps.

    OK I found out why I cant download the attachments.. We havent updated to the new BIS yet.
    This works well the BB feels faster with the update. ONe problem I found is when the phone is “asleep” backlight off if you hit the trackball to wake it, it selects whatever is on the screen, email icons etc… the other buttons work fine. Also cant select text either

    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.

    Ok, crossing my fingers and I’m gonna try this out on my Sprint 8830 as soon as the file finishes downloading.

    Hopefully I’ll figure out how/what I’m doing. Wish me luck.

    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.

    June 26th, 2008 09:32

    Ok another update, 8830 World Phone AND 8330 Curve both can not send SMS messages on Verizon network.
    Also browser has major issues selecting a text box, try going to google and clicking in a text box to type.
    I really hope someone out there is smart enough to figure out why SMS isnt working. For the browser issue I think thats here to stay until next version, however I will play with the settings and see what happens.

    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 :-)

    Verizon 8330, did the upgrade, SMS seems to be working fine on my Curve, email is working fine as well. I am, however, having problems getting Google Maps 2.1 to start after selecting to allow permission to access radio information the device locks up. I may just deny that access since I have an external GPS I use for position reporting.

    Also, youtube videos are quite nice.

    I like the way the messages look and it does feel snappier. Very nice. Looking forward to after this weekend though. Need to figure out how to add Docs to Go though and then remove that XML file.

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……

    4.5.0.33 on VZW.
    These are the issues i noticed,
    1. Browser- problems typing in boxes
    2. Ringer/Alarm- VERY VERY LOW RINGER even lower then 4.2!
    3. Blackberry messenger- red indicator stays on sometimes
    4. Shift/select/copy/paste- doesn’t work!
    5. when backlight off selecting ball or pressing key turns on screen and selects whatever the courser is on or presses that key.
    6. Media card- cannot access media card from computer or Mass Storage drive.
    7. when scrolling does not click
    8. have noticed heavy memory leak!

    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??

    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.

    Here is another update.

    After following the above idea to set the importance and set it back I was able to send an SMS. I was not able to yesterday. Also I didnt have to reboot the phone.

    One other thought might be someone called Verizon and they fixed it and it was more a time issue then a work around.

    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.

    Jeromy,

    Tried all of these things… I am on the bell network and I have sent the service books already. I see in my listing of servicebooks that some have a red x. Also… If it was in the firewall setting what could I do besides allow all??? Thanks for taking the time to write everything you have :) I will keep at it. If you have any other ideas be sure to post.

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

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

    Can I really delete them all??? I have GPS Nav that costs 10 bucks a month but I dont pay for it cause I cancelled… I beleive it still works due to the service book still being there.

    What happens when I click the video is it says loading forever.. there is alot of network activity and then it says “Error Playing” An error has occured attempting to play media.

    I’ve loaded and started using Vlingo after verfying everything working with 4.5 beta. All I can say is wow, it has brought the BB to a new level of performance!
    The program allows one to do google searches, texting, and emailing hands free. There is no drain on the memory, since it streams data from a server in Cambridge, MA. Not a problem, if you are on an unlimited data plan. A little buggy, still in it’s beta release. But very cool and useful.
    Jeromy, many kudos for the link

    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.

    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

  • 114

    June 30th, 2008 17:30

    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.

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??

    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.
