But without the ability to perform the full backup on the hard drive or SD card it's rather useless. Bold 9720 looks interesting because it is newer than Bold 9900 and has larger battery. BlackBerry Protect offers Password Keeper backup but it is an online service which can be shut down any time, so it's not a reliable option. However, email backup is said to be incomplete and there is no backup of any configuration settings, sounds, or password keeper. The app seems to backup (to SD card) contacts, memos, tasks and calendar events. (free app still available in BB World) might be of some help here.
Blackberry desktop manager for z10 install#
So it is possible to wipe an old OS and install a new one, or to install third party apps by pointing to ALX files directly from Loader.exe.ĭata Backup v0.1.13 by S4BB Ltd. After the OS has been installed on the computer (and all vendor.xml files deleted) Loader.exe can recognize Bold 9720 without problem. Loader.exe is another story, there is at least some good news here. BB Desktop Software would still identify Bold 9720 as "unknown device", regardless of the OS installed. (Bundle 2839), which I later upgraded to OS 7.

I have recently got another Bold 9720 handset. It was previously called BlackBerry Desktop Software and BlackBerry Desktop Manager. you have installed the last version of the OS? Maybe thurask can help you. BlackBerry Link is the desktop computer software which communicates with BlackBerry 10 devices. At this point it is just speculation but an image file of 9720 missing in Device folder seems to confirm this: It seems that by then all DM updates had been discontinued and BB 9720 was left out unsupported.
