In this post I will show you how to update your blackberry using app loader. App loader updates your Blackberry just like Blackberry Desktop manager, however it gives you more choice in the apps and fonts that are downloaded onto your blackberry when you update. App loader also allows you to download Leaked OS updates. (OS updates are still released by RIM, the only difference is they have not been tested or released by Carriers). You can also download unofficial OS updates meaning they have been released by other Carriers and your carrier is either testing this os or just prefers not to release it.
How to update:
Step 1. Download the OS to your computer (This is not compatible with Mac) and install it by double clicking on the file and following the instructions. I will have a page with the latest OS updates for the newer Blackberry devices.
EDIT: Here is the page with the links to the most recent Blackberry OS updates
Step 2. Once you have installed the OS go to desktop manager and backup your device as a precaution.
Step 3. Press start on your computer and type the following into the search bar or just go to,
c:/program files/common files/research in motion/app loader
on 64 bit computers you need to go to c:/program files(86)/common files/research in motion/app loader
Once you are in app loader scroll down and delete a file called Vendor.xml.
Step 4. Make sure your device is plugged in(does not need to be turned off) and open the app loader application wizard near the top.
Step 5. Type in your device password if you have one when prompted and and then when you arrive to the next screen tick the applications you would like to have installed on your device and then choose back up and restore on the next screen, then press update.
Step 6. Let your device update, at one point your device will reboot and get stuck when it is two thirds into rebooting. This is normal do not disconnect the cable.
Step 7. If App loader has not restored your device then do it manually through Desktop Manager.
And that is how you update a blackberry using App Loader
