The only OS that will work on the 8100 is the latest T-Mobile version from their website, regardless of what steps I take and what I do with the vendor.xml file. I have also tried the Loader application for the appLoader folder (Program Files/Common/Research in Motion/AppLoader), nothing. If I use JL_Cmder to wipe my 8100 and load that way (with deleting the vendor.xml file prior to plugging in my 8100), still get msg that device software is up to date, or that device software is not found.

I have been in IT for a long, long time - and nothing has been as frustrating as this. Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks!
Are you following the directions correctly, because I have the same problem when I don't. Once I started to do things right, I have no problems.
I'm not trying to insult you or anything, but do as I did. Print the instructions so that you have them right next to you. Then, follow them step-by-step. Trust me, these guys here know their stuff when it comes to this, and have probably heard your problem before.

Good Luck!


Peace,

Kamau
