New 8130 OS 4.3.0.60 (VZW) CDMA - BlackBerryForums.com : Your Number One BlackBerry Community

tomdkat · 10:42 PM

The 4.3 device original OS is out for Verizon (4.3.0.60).

This is not for a 8100 Pearl.

App Ver: 4.3.0.60
Platform Ver: 3.1.0.32

Download here.
or here

Instructions for installing on any CDMA 8130 from any carrier:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Desktop Manager installed. It's 4.2 SP2 and can be downloaded Click Here. or from the Verizon site linked above.
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's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Plug in BB 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."
If you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to DM again and run application loader again and it should load the OS to the device.

Appears to be the version that shipped with the 8130.

Danabw · 11-13-2007, 05:15 PM

The folks who posted OS versions on their phones said 4.3.0.60, so it does look like this is the version currently shipping on the new Pearl.

fritter · 11-13-2007, 05:15 PM

that was fast

SirKeats · 11-13-2007, 05:23 PM

anyone give this a go on a non-verizon phone yet?

this isn't one of the betas that's been floating around right? this is the official release?

Danabw · 11-13-2007, 05:25 PM

As official as you believe anything on Verizon's site is.

Dawg · **OS:** 4.5.0.138

there is a beta 4.3 OS floating around I knew there was a desktop manager beta floating around

Great news, unless you have the 8130 like me and are waiting for the NEXT OS update to hopefully address the bbdm application loader will not work problem.

It doesn't just "appear to be"... it IS the verison that shipped on the VZW 8130... same version and platform numbers...

I'm waiting on the Telus version gets posted.. as its v4.3.0.65...

Nextel User · 11-13-2007, 08:32 PM

You're saying that's all that was fixed in the Telus version?

that's odd. why would they post something that everyone already has? also, it says 11/13. i'm guessing that's the day it was posted and not the release version date as the pearl came out officially on the 8th.

Danabw · 11-13-2007, 08:51 PM

Well...if someone had a problem w/their Pearl they'd need it to wipe and re-load. Also, a copy of the same OS that is current on your BB is required on the PC to load apps on a BB using Desktop Manager.

Nucker · 11-13-2007, 10:28 PM

Has any one attemped this on a non CDMA verison pearl?

Thoughts or ideas?

JSanders · 11-13-2007, 10:31 PM

Is a non-cdma verizon pearl?

This OS is for the 8130 CDMA only.

Same version numbers, but when I downloaded it and plugged my Pearl into my computer, it did update a number of applications.

Why were you trying to load it, and do you mean it busted your Pearl, as in it's bricked?

Have you recovered?

pattachan · 11-14-2007, 08:01 PM

NICE FIND! I needed to go through and fix some things and this is just what I needed!!! THANK YOU!

Its not bricked, I was trying to unlock all the themes. The themes were all there its just nothing else worked. SO now i just reloaded everything like it was when I got it

jnyost · 11-15-2007, 12:15 AM

Careful loading....

I loaded with unlocked themes and now phone is real slow and crashing when trying to change themes, look at modules, etc.

jnyost · 11-15-2007, 12:31 AM

It was the extra themes. Not sure if it was the TMO 5 stuff or not. I unlocked the one theme I wanted and deleted the reference to the TMO 5 and the TMO Icons.

Sent you a PM...

Mark_Venture · 11-15-2007, 07:05 AM

I was getting 523 errors when the following was loaded with the unlocked themes...

net_rim_bb_media_100_five_icon_library.cod

rgeorge · 11:51 AM

Any idea if you could extract the Dimension L theme from this and use it on an 8100 device with the 4.2.x OS?

NEVERMIND: Found someone already posted and is doing this.

jrod0725 · **Still no luck -** 11-16-2007, 12:58 AM

I followed the above steps and have the exact same Desktop and OS versions but I still get the No Applications error. Any advice?

dasefx · 11-16-2007, 04:25 PM

Does anybody know if this firmware would work with the 8120? i have one here but the browser doesn't work very well and i want to see if an update would fix things.

8120 = GSM
8130 = CDMA

So I doubt this will work on an 8120...

Danabw · 11-16-2007, 09:40 PM

I believe I read that the OS is the same across carriers...someone who really knows needs to confirm, however.

He could always try. Worse case scenario is he reloads his OS.

For same model devices... yes..

But the 8300 OS doesn't work on the 8320 or vice versa... and they are both GSM devices...

and I don't think the 8800 OS works on the 8830....

Thanks, Mark.

Changelives · 11-17-2007, 12:08 PM

Is there any chance that the new OS allows for a keyboard unlock without hitting so many keys? That is such a pain!

jefwic · 11:35 PM

NVM, Bell software is .66 (but not available online yet).

Danabw · 09:56 PM

Edited....my bad, per comments below. Verizon finally posted Desktop Manager 4.3.

BlackBerryÂ® Software Updates

jnyost · 11-21-2007, 09:17 PM

The only thing I see new is the Desktop software. The device software is still dated 11/13.

Verizon download page says it's for BIS users.

The version numbers of the new file are exactly the same as the original Verizon Pearl download posted on 11/13.

11/13: 8130EFS_PBr4.3.0_rel119_PL3.1.0.32_A4.3.0.60.exe
11/20: 8130EFS_PBr4.3.0_rel119_PL3.1.0.32_A4.3.0.60.exe

File sizes are also the same. Wonder what changed?

The file dated 11/20 is for the Desktop Manager. The file dated 11/13 is for the handset OS. The Desktop Manager software that this latest file replaces is version 4.2. It was weird that they had version 4.2 on the website for download, but the software that came on the CD in the box with the phone was version 4.3. So I think the current release just updates the software to agree with what came on the CD.
