Specific heat of vibrating bosons

I am trying to understand a solved exercise. It is about calculating the energy of vibrating bosons using the density of states, which is defined as follows:
$$g(omega) = frac{9N}{omega^3_D} omega$$
Afterwards, the specific heat $c_v$ is calculated ($E = frac{partial E}{partial T}$).
After giving some context, I will go to the point.
$$E = int_{0}^{infty} frac{hbar omega g(omega)}{e^{beta hbar omega} - 1} domega = frac{9N}{omega^3_D} int_{0}^{omega_D} frac{hbar omega^3}{e^{beta hbar omega} - 1} domega $$
On this integral, I have to use the following change of variables:
$$x = beta hbar omega$$
$$T_D = frac{omega_D hbar}{K_B}$$
After applying the first one I got:
$$E =frac{9N}{omega^3_D beta^4 hbar^3} int_{0}^{frac{omega_D}{beta hbar}} frac{ x^3}{e^{x} - 1} dx$$
Where:
$$beta = frac{1}{K_BT}$$
Once at this point I applied the second change of variables and derived E with respect to T (Temperature). My issue is that the solved problem skips this calculation and gives directly the $c_v$:
$$ c_v = 9K_BN (frac{T}{T_D})^3 int_{0}^{frac{T_D}{T}} frac{ x^4 e^x}{(e^{x} - 1)^2} dx$$
But I am not getting this outcome. May you help me out?

@Gustavo Note that my issue is with the second change of variables and derivative (i.e I am stuck with maths).

Did you change the upper limit at first substitution?

Well, I don't see the $T$ variable anywhere in the $E$ formula. So, I don't know how to perform a calculation which does not result zero.

Use $dfrac{partial E}{partial T}=dfrac{partial E}{partial beta}dfrac{partialbeta}{partial T}$

$$dfrac{partial E}{partial T}= frac{-9N}{omega^3_D} int_{0}^{omega_D} frac{hbar^2 omega^4e^{beta hbar omega}}{(e^{beta hbar omega} - 1)^2} domegatimesdfrac{-1}{K_BT^2}$$ now let $beta hbar omega=x$ and simplify.
