It is my understanding that you do need DM 4.6 you can get it from link on AT&T website. I had to uninstall DM 4.2 and then installed 4.6, what happened to me during all this when I uninstalled 4.2 it also uninstalled all the BlackBerry OS that I had installed. It's a pain but not a big deal you just have to installed the OS again.
There are others here with far more knowledge than I and they can wall you through the whole process.

Good luck

And make sure you execute the Device Software .exe file after you download it.

I believe that you can DL apps for a LOWER os, eg you have 4.5, you will be ok to run a 4.2 theme. But DO NOT try to put a 4.5 theme on a 4.2 OS-I did that a couple of times by mistake, and bricked my Curves
