Learn how to Install OS on BlackBerry Device

In Order to update any OS on your BlackBerry Device follow these steps:-

  • Download the OS of your choice particularly designed for your device

(Note: – You can’t install the OS which is not intended for your device, for eg. you can’t install BlackBerry Bold OS on BlackBerry Curve)
TIP: – It’s not compulsory to download your specific brand OS & it’s not at all related to the phone simlock, so be tension free after installing this OS

  • Download & Install the (downloaded file).exe file in your computer
