How To Install Software Update for your OS6 Blackberry

Blackberry officially didn't release any update for operating System 6, but there's some nicer updates out there. Not much difference though, maybe browser is a little bit better and some little improvements. But if you're like me, just wanna try some cool stuffs, then all you need is..

• An updated OS installed on your computer
• Blackberry Software Manager (Although it’s not necessary for this update, Surprised?)

This was how I installed mine some months ago? Follow these steps

STEP 1:

Check your Blackberry Device Version by going to; Options >> Device >>About Device Version. Write on paper or memorize both Application Version and Platform Version (Both starts with v6 and 6 respectively).

STEP 2:

Visit Blackberry Partner Communications And fill out a form before you can download, check if there is a higher Device Platform and Device software information, start installation BUT DON'T FINISH THE INSTALLATION, JUMP TO STEP3. If there's no higher number, jump to STEP 7 - It means no update for you, else…

STEP 3:

You need to uninstall the your Blackberry Desktop Software before you install this update on your PC. Why? Because STEP 6 will not give you an Application loader check box. (After you finish this update you can download Blackberry Software Manager 7.1.0 B33 here

STEP 4:

Once you've successfully uninstalled your Blackberry Software Manager, go to this address on your computer
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader

STEP 5:

Delete "vendor.xml" file

STEP 6:

Now, back to the update, check the box "Yes, start the Application loader" and finish installing the update. Automatically, it will take you through a guide to install on your phone.

STEP 7:

THE END

How to Stop MTN, Glo, Airtel or Etisalat Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) From Deducting Your Airtime even Though Your Blackberry Phone is Idle

Have you ever discovered that your airtime account on your Blackberry (BIS enabled) was debited occasionally while surfing the net or when your blackberry phone was idle. A friend of mine woke up one day and discovered his airtime was gone, finished.

Well, all you need do is apply this simple tweak and voilà, life is beautiful indeed.

These steps should work on MTN, Glo, Airtel and Etisalat Blackberry devices and if your Blackberry operating system is either OS6 or OS7 you can search for “Service Book” (without the quotes) and jump to STEP 5: OR You can follow these steps.

STEP 1: Go to Options

STEP 2: Click Device

STEP3: Click Advance System Settings

STEP 4: Click Service Book

STEP 5: Now you need to delete anything that has the word "wap" (see the pic below)



But the problem with this method is, every time you do a hard-reset or you register on your blackberry, you'll need to go back and follow STEP 1 - 5

But hey, its better than allowing the network to consume your airtime.
