Using a BlackBerry 10 device
The first method is checking for, and installing, updated
BlackBerry 10 software using your device. Since some software updates can be
pretty big, connect to a Wi-Fi network first which can help speed up your
download. For those of us conscious of our data plans, you definitely want to pay attention to this point as this helps to avoid data charges when using the mobile network. But you don’t have access to a Wi-Fi
network, you can update your device software using BlackBerry Link instead.
- On the
home screen, swipe down from the top bezel
- Tap Settings followed
by Software Updates
- Tap Check
for Updates
- If an
update is available, tap Update to start the update
process
- When
the software update has finished, restart when prompted
2nd Method
Using BlackBerry Link on a PC, or Mac
If you haven’t already, download and install BlackBerry Link and then follow the steps below.
- Open
BlackBerry Link
- Connect
your device using a USB cable
- Select
your device along the left
- Click Software
Updates
- Click Check
for Updates and follow the on-screen instructions
- When
the software update has finished, your device will restart automatically
3rd Method
Using a web browser (PC only)
For those using Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer 5.5
and later on a Microsoft Windows PC, you can check for and install updated
BlackBerry 10 device software using your browser.
- Open
Firefox, or Internet Explorer
- Go to http://BlackBerry.com/update
- If
using Firefox, when prompted install the “Rim Handheld
Application Loader”
- If
using Internet Explorer, when prompted allow the “BlackBerry
WebSL Browser Plug-in from ‘Research in Motion’”
- Refresh
the website, click Check for Updates and follow the
on-screen instructions
