Fubar231 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 With him not having way to revert back to OE software warranty issues would be complicated. True, but just make a backup of your .75 data? But then again this all goes back to the not having a computer thing... Someone needs to design a program to backup/restore data on your blackberry.

Akula Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I rolled into the store nearby and they said "you just do options, advanced options....." No jerk, it isn't working. "ok, just use your desktop" I have a mac eventually they put the manager on their pc in the back and hooked my BB to it. They removed all my enterprise data after reloading the phone but I have the new software. I am quite happy with the dude at the store. He's the man. He also showed me this http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=4726 very cool, I need one.

JaSSon Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Oh, I emailed with the co-worker mentioned earlier. He's using the 1.22 software from Canada Bell. He said you can get it from them, or from crackberry.com. He said it's a night and day different phone now. But then again you'll need a PC. Go pick up a $300 netbook or something.

Akula Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 The verizon dude let me walk out of the store with my backup on a thumb drive. I went into the office and borrowed someone else's computer and did a restore. Wasn't the cleanest install ever but I have a working phone again. I guess if you have a PC and are good about backing up with the desktop manager, you should be ok. Just remember, you cannot call VZW on the Storm and ask for help as they will tell you to call back on a different line. You cannot call and ask about features or functionality because they will defer to BlackBerry. The line between where VZW helps and BlackBerry is responsible, is very fine.

Akula Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Why is my BlackBerry sucking a mac problem? RIM doesn't my a decent desktop tool that runs on mac. If I was running linux I would be in the same boat. So, what you are saying, Jones, is that Microsoft rules. WOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubar231 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Akula, do you have a intel based mac, or on top of that do you have one that runs both the mac os and windows? Ill look around on crackberry to see if i can't find a desktop manager mac fix or something for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Actually there is a command prompt program for dos that allows you to send files to the blackberry device memory not sd card. Problem is it is in Japanese. If you want a challenge I have one for you... Are you man enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I have it solved now. I know what to avoid in the future. I think I'm good. Besides, mac doesn't really run DOS either. I don't do bootcamp because I don't like MSFT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 back on topic, I like the Storm much better today than I have in the last month. I am ultra upset that Verizon waited so long to approve already outdated code. When asked why I didn't get an OTA update, the tech said that VZW doesn't control it but rather BB does.
