BB Curve 8350i :: "OS 5.O / How To Install After Vendor Xml Is Deleted"
Feb 5, 2010
So I downloades os 5.0 from the 8900 and installed it on my pc . Whene you go to the device xml file you can see that the 8350i. Is a supported device. just need to figure out how to install it after the vendor xml has been deleted also the 8520 os 5.o can work just need some help figureing out the rest
i have an 8350i and so does my friend. MOST of my icons are white and work fine. his are colored and also work fine. how can i get my icons to be colored?
Now that Boost will be legitimately offering a BB, the 8330, is it worth getting rid of the 8350i? I NEVER use DC, and is gaining the 3g speeds worth losing wifi over? Are there any other details I left out that would be a dividing factor?
I am new to this forum and new to blackberry in general. I actually purchased my very first one saturday. I bought it used because I have big hands and did not know how well my fingers would work on the tiny keypad. I have a few questions. Please dont flame me because I have been searching and reading since i got home yesterday afternoon.
1.) This phone is a t-mobile phone and is currently unlocked and works with my AT&T service. Being the engineer that I am- Its hard for me to accept the t-mobile screen that comes up on start-up. Before I call and get my blackberry plan activated on my phone I would like to have all the bugs worked out. I would like to somehow make this phone think its an AT&T phone. I have downloaded crackmem and nuked this phone. I upgraded to the lastest version of AT&T software which is version 4.6, but when i power this phone up it still shows T-mobile. That drives me crazy.
2.) I read how to unlock the different vendor themes on this forum. I tried it and it did not work for me. I entered the vendor id number for AT&T. maybe I should have entered it for t-mobile. Like i said I am new and know dont know very much about these phones.
3.) I also have the OS system 5.0.411 downloaded and ready to install on my phone. I would like to figure out how to resolve the above items before I install in on my phone. I chose the 5.0.411 over the latest software because i like the unlock button on the top of the phone working. Its just convienent for me.
My main concern is I was the t-mobile start up replaced with the AT&T one. I know it can be done but I am a mechanical engineer not a software engineer and it was hard enough to write enough code to get through college, much less reprogram a phone.
I just bought a BB Curve 8350i off Ebay (yay me). I was starting to wonder what OS it's using? Is it using the same OS that the storm uses, or is it the old OS that looks like some thing that's way behind times?
Does the Blackberry Curve 8350i have SMS and MMS capabilties? I already ordered this phone from Sprint today. After ordering it i read a article that stated that it doesnt do sms or mms messages. Is this true?
I just got another Bold the other day. The first thing that I did was go to BlackBerry - Update your Device Software and downloaded the 4.6.0.185 OS, but I did not delete the vendor from the 4.1.etc.What happens when you install the new OS, but don't delete the old vendor?P.S. Can someone also tell me how to look at my memory on my Bold again? I forgot where it's located at.
My friend has been wanting to get an 8350i for a while now. Today he walked into RadioShack and BestBuy and both of these retail stores told him that the Nextel 8350i Blackberry had been discontinued. That they no longer carried them in their stores, but that that he could still find them at Sprint locations. They stated the reason as having too many issues. I'm thinking that the retail stores were getting too many returns and possibly decided to stop selling them ("discontinuing them"). I went to sprint website and they are still selling them.
1st of all when im on the phone and another call comes in, the speaker on my phone activates, and i cant cut it off until call ends , 2nd my voicemail is not functional, if i call my # its not my voicemail its some pre-recorded person saying that im unavail , any thoughts?
My phone was working and just quit. My wifes 8350i connects by USB fine, but mine does not. I did all the resets and a wipe of the phone. Nothing is working to get the USB to work. Is the phone junk? With out the USB I can not load any service books for boost.
Not too long ago my employer rolled out a two-tiered phone Nextel service for employees. Some get 8350i with a full BB data plan and some get Moto i456 with voice, PTT, MMS, and limited data (feels like GPRS). I am in the latter category. While I have absolutely no justifiable business need for a data plan I despise the crappy i465 with a passion that is difficult to describe.
I thought I would solve my problem by buying a 2nd-hand 8350i on my own dime and just popping the employer-provided SIM card in it. My hope was that I would retain what I need (voice, SMS, PTT) and be on my merry way. However, it appears that I do have voice and PTT but have lost ALL messaging capability, probably because the messaging the BB goes through their own servers and I do not have BB service.Is there any way around this dilemma? I do need both PTT and SMS, and the only two QWERTY devices with PTT capability are the 8350i and the i465.
I have a BB 8350i and the usb port is broken. I have already ordered a new one and have the phone tore apart. Now what? I am looking at this thing and I am stumped.Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm at my wits end!
I'm running .313 with a stock theme and no 3rd party apps. However, in the last 2 weeks, whenever I have a DC conversation longer than approximately 3 minutes without it ending, my BB locks up. The LED still flashes red, the DC info is still on the screen, but the only button that works is the power button to turn the phone off then back on. No amount of battery pulls fixes the problem.
Ok for the last week or so I've had my email notifyer showing I have one message I've done every thing I can think of but still won't disappear I've tried changing the them, battery pull, reconciling it,**** I even deleted the accounts from my bb and it still won't go away any ideas?
I am getting constant calls from a telemarketer, the phone number is 509.221.3648, the first time they called I told the telemarketer I wasn't interested in the sex pills they were selling, now they call me non stop(I went on google, sounds like this agency does the same thing to tons of people).I wish I could reject the caller, but I've been told the best option is to create a contact and make an exception so that whenever they call me the my phone doesn't ring.
Ok I've heared that you cna and can't use a blue tooth for mp3 I want one but only if I can use the mp3 I know they have the one that looks like a set of head phones but for were ill be that won't work so before I go out and buy one dose any body know for sure if a regular blue tooth will work?
I had the sprint store download 5.0 for me cause my phone locked up while trying it at home. Anyway my wife is still running the 4.6 software and I'm running 5.0 with my update I can't find my keyboard lock icon. She doesn't want 5.0 if she can't lock the keyboard.Any suggestions?
had to reinstall everything on my phone. I had a backup file from Dec, when everything was working. Everything appeared to install without problem. Now a day later I go to send a Text message and I get this error. No MMS service record.So I check the threads and I notice I have to reinstall the services Books since I am on boost. When I go to services books on my BB it says 5 records. I delete those and copy over the combined 3 which has 23 files. However after they are copied over on the device, the device says 5 files and I get the same error.
The word NEXTEL is not on the top of my home screen anymore? I have full bars, NXTL next to them, and everything is working fine but I cannot get the word to appear back on my home screen. I've tried a reboot, battery pull, radio reset, etc. but can't get it to come back up. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Nothing is wrong with it, but it's kind of freaking me out.

I have tried everyting and it does the sam thing everytime at the same time. When the app loader goes to " load jvm and system sofware" the phone goes from white 507 screen to black my computer makes the disconnect sound and then it always sits and the app loader just does its process and then everytime it says device communication error A:0x0000000F > then the phone boots back up and says the same 507 messege.? Its like the usb is turning it off right when the app loader tries the download sequence. it does the same thing at the same time no matter what> i have tried wiping with bbsak and reloading but same thing happens ? I have even went to usb power options and nothing . tried to reinstall usb drivers and tried again > restarted comp nothing> And its not rebooting over and over the app loader actually recognizes the pin everytime i connect it > so its not a problem with seeing the device. I have done it over and over and same thing happens.>>> Its screen goes black thge red led comes on for 3 nseconds and then it sits there black and the app loader never gets past the "load jvm and system software" step. It then goes back to the white screen and app loader says the error communicating A:0x0000000F everytime> Does anyone have this happen? Any tips? I need serious help > I have read all the 101 lecture on a nuked berry and its states that the berry is in a constant reboot sequence which mine isnt doing> It akll work like its supposed to until I hit the finish button on the app loader> Right when I do the phone acts like it gets disconnected from the comp when its still connected> I am trying to update to .313 on a b.b 8350i with boost> I even tried to delete the vendor xml file in app loader and still doing the same thing> I know it would work if the damn phone wouldnt disconnect by itself > If anyone will please help if they have any suggestions thanks alot>
Ok I've tried looking for the answer and can't find or figure it ou I finaly got a screen saver I like and shortly after it starts it goes to the defalt black screen any ideas? And on a side note dose any body know were to get the game truth or dare for adults for the 8350i.
I'm going on 3 days, and about 20 hours trying to unlock this phone.. The only thing I could find was a 15 chapter essay on how to do it but the guy who wrote it obviously skipped a lot of things and uses all kinds of nerd lingo like "YOUR YOUR BBDM?I am wondering if their was any unlock versions written for people who dont have a degree in celluar phone prgramming
I just switched from a Motorola nextel phone to the 8350i. They transfered all my contacts and didn't change my DC number but for some reason I can only DC one phone number on my contacts list. All the rest come up 'user not authorized' The message also shows up on the other end when they try to DC me.
What i should do first with my new phone my instincts are to update the os but reading these forums its seems like the update is worse than the original anybody actually know pros and cons??? also what r any good themes, apps, tips & tricks worthwhile on the 8350i
I have this BB 8350i with the software v5 and its been a couple days it keeps resetting it self at any random moment and sometimes many times in a row.
