Update: CDMA OS 4.5.0.45 For BlackBerry 8330 Found Online!

by Ronen Halevy on Jul 5th, 2008 at 10:02 pm EST

UPDATE: Issues remedied in this release:

- Shift-select has been fixed (in both messages and browser)
- Multi-input issue has been resolved in the browser
- Random reboot/hang issues during browsing is resolved/much-less
- SMS send delay/fault has been resolved
- Delay when calling or answering phone calls has been reduced

I was enjoying a relaxing 4^th of July weekend but I had to take a break to post this. I just got a tip from another nameless faithful readers with a link to OS 4.5.0.45 for the CDMA 8330. This is OS 4.5.0.45 Rel 65. I know many of you have been dying to upgrade from the OS 4.5.0.33 we mentioned before.

Sadly there is already a later release of OS 4.5.0.51 Rel 74 but our tipster could not locate it. I am currently in the process of installing this on a Sprint 8330.

NOTE: Install at your own risk. This is probably a beta and may break your BlackBerry or even cause your home to self destruct. Please exercise caution and let us know your experiences in the comments.

Just as an example of where you can find 4.5.0.45 for the 8330 check out the link below:

Thanks for the tip anonymous! Keep on sending them in!

Had to be a .4x or .5x release soon what with GSM having .4x betas for a couple weeks now. Hope its more stable than prior 4.5 CDMA releases.

any reason the 8330 version wouldn’t work on the 8830? I would assume the camera functionality would be disabled but besides that…any thoughts??

These OS’s are device specific so no you can’t install the 8330 version on the 8830

Works very well on my 8330.

The selection of multiple messages is working now and the problems with entering text in the Browser have been rectified.

On my 8830 sms works fine, shift+scroll will highlight text and items again, track ball tick noise works, all ringers now work, and added voice notes recorder icon to desktop that allows you to actually record now.

Another problem fixed when the phone screen goes black and press the trackball it wakes up it and doesn’t go to the applications that is highlighted. Only wakes up the phone.

I found one bug….before when you received a voicemail message, you would get a message in your mailbox that said “voicemail”. Now, you no longer get that message but you still get a new message icon. The only way to clear the new message icon is to reboot the phone. Also, you now longer get an audible sound when you receive a new voicemail.

Is anyone on Sprint getting full HTML e-mails with any of the Betas? I am getting semi HTML e-mails….I can get some of the images when I select “Get Images”, but some images will not download no matter what I do. I have HTML enabled and download all images enabled for all of my e-mail accounts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The digital signature for this file is not validating under Windows Vista, it claims “the digital signature is not valid”, yet it was signed by RIM. My downloaded copy is the same size as on rapid share, thus I’m pretty suspicious that the file has been tampered with. Thoughts?

works fine so far, installed under Vista with no issues on my end. Still trying to find a bug

The alternate copy at http://rapidshare.com/files/127522162/8330AMEA_PBr4_5_0_rel65_PL3_2_0_37_A4_5_0_45.exe is also displaying an invalid signature. It could mean the installer has been tampered with. Experimenter beware…

This version seams to have fixed the bugs that I noticed in the earlier version. I haven’t noticed any additional issues. I really wish that they would add the newer docs to go the beta.

I have this on the 8330 Curve, still having problems playing certain video files, sometimes reboot on playing streams through youtube or other sites, the player hangs and then phone reboots, but other than that, it is working so far so decent

I am running the 4.5.0.33 on my Verizon 8330 Curve now which runs great the only thing that aggravates me is when you touch the track ball it opens whatever I may try this one Knowing that the minute I get done there will be a link to 4.5.0.51 and that will suck
Posted by: Ryan
July 6, 2008 at 6:08 pm EST

Would some please upload .51 for the 8830 to rapidshare and give us the link OR tell us what keywords to enter on google to find it ourselves?

Installed on Verizon 8330 from 4.5.0.33.
All previous bugs fixed:
- Couldn’t enter text in web browser
- Call Status screen delay when getting an inbound call
- Couldn’t make outbound SMS
Awesome update. Hope 8830 people get as lucky soon.

no one else has noticed this bug? I haven’t seen any responses to my first post so i’m curious……

“I found one bug….before, when you received a voicemail message, you would get a message in your mailbox that said “voicemail”. Now, you no longer get that message but you still get a new message icon. The only way to clear the new message icon is to reboot the phone.

@JFig24

I have not noticed this, BUT, I’m VZW. Maybe it’s isolated to Sprint? I even made a phone call to my phone and left a voicemail message to test it out. I not only received the message alerting me of a voicemail, but I heard the sound, too. Likewise, the voicemail icon went away after I checked it, too.

So far, this seems like a pretty stable release. Everything that marred 4.5.0.33 seems to have been fixed, especially the clunky browsing.

HTML e-mail is working like a charm, too, after just a simple re-sending of the service books.

Did anyone else see this? Everything seems to work ok.

The VAD files are for your voice dialing. If you don’t use that you won’t be affected by the missing file

You know what’s irritating? People who have posted on multiple boards that they have 4.5.0.51, even posted test results from it, and NOT UPLOADED IT SOMEWHERE FOR THE REST OF US.

Let’s cut to the chase. You’re cool, we’re not, yay you have the bragging rights… now please share.

Telus 8330 working like a charm here since last night. Seems to be a little easier on the battery. Might just be me though.

Nice update.

It’s more than irrating. Anywho, how is it that 4.5.0.33 can be loaded on 8830 and 8330, but 4.5.0.45 is only for 8330? Anyone tried it on an 8830?
Posted by: purephase
July 7, 2008 at 3:12 pm EST

The OS’s are device specific. A version for 8830 hasn’t been made “publicly” available yet. There is a .45 and .51 release for both devices. Just have to wait until someone is nice enough to put it up on rapidshare or somewhere else.
