Hey Garry,

I downloaded the firmware and when i go to run the .exe i get the error below

"error Reading setup Inistialzation file"....

my next question is there a way to upgrade the firmware from blackberry Manager... or directly from our BES sever?

Thanks Man your a legend!

Hi,

If you install BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.7 you are able set it to alert you when updates are available. If you want to control the firmware updates from the BlackBerry Manager you can install the firmware onto the BES (you need to add it via “Software Configuration”) and distribute it via Desktop Manager or Web Desktop Manager.

Thanks,

Gary
