Default Latest 8100 OS: Telkomsel Indonesia - 4.2.1.179 / 4.2.1.108 (Chinese_English) - 11-06-2007, 04:52 PM

Quote:
Software For BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Smartphone

BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.2.1.179 (Chinese)

Package Version: 4.2.1.179
Consisting of:
* Applications: 4.2.1.108
* Software Platform: 2.3.0.85
* File name: 8100C_PBr4.2.1_rel179_PL2.3.0.85_A4.2.1.108_Telkom sel.exe
* File size: 68.18MB
Download link: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...2B6EA7A23A56D2


Instructions for installing:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Desktop Manager installed. Currently, the latest version available is 4.3 and may be downloaded here: http://www.blackberry.com/go/softwaredownloads

2. Download the above file to the PC then install it to the PC by running the file you downloaded.

3. Locate the vendor.xml file and delete it. It is located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research in Motion\Apploader

4. Plug in the BlackBerry and open Desktop Manager. You should be prompted to upgrade.

The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization." Don't unplug from the PC & Don't remove the battery unless the spinning hourglass has been there for 30 minutes or more. If the hourglass has been spinning for more than 30 minutes continuously you will need to wipe the device with JL_Cmder (close out of Desktop Manager during this process.) You will then end up with a white screen with small icons and an error code number like 507 or 543.

I've had the problem of not being able to read chiense file names on my BlackBerry Pearl for a long time, if I install this in english would it also read chiense or would I have to keep switching between the two modes... (which would be very annoying). If anyone finds any differences post em up... I'm considering using my time to install this.


Very happy with my BlackBerry Pearl 8100 !

No, I just ran a test with multitap and pressed about 10 keys twice real fast. About every 3rd key gave me a double letter, instead of the second letter.

MultiTap will be fixed in 4.3.1. Not sure about future 4.2.1 versions, though.
