Recently I have been asked about once a day by readers, friends, & family how to upgrade the OS on their BlackBerry. This is especially true now that OS 4.5 is starting to go official with more carrier releases around the corner.
Instead of reinventing the wheel I thought I would point all of you to two great guides that detail exactly what you need to do to upgrade your OS.
- “How To: Upgrade your BlackBerry Software” By Simon Sage @ BlackBerryCool
- “BlackBerry 101: How to Install or Upgrade to a New RIM BlackBerry Operating System (OS)” By Al Sacco @ CrackBerry
Both of these guides will walk you through the process step by step. Let me know if you run into any problems

I am upgrading my OS to 4.5 for the 8100.
I have downloaded the device software to my pc and have installed (ran) the software. After opening DM I was prompted to upgrade.
At the begining of the upgrade process a “task in progress” box appears showing you what it is doing.
Mine has been stuck on:
“retreiving wirelessly delivered application modules”
“retreiving modules “com_plazmic_theme_benz_slr_b.cod”
It has been stuck here for apporx 20 minutes.
Anything to worry about?
