I have version 4.6 of DM and I've installed the new OS to my PC, but it still won't recognize the upgrade. I also did this for my girlfriend's 8320 and everything worked fine.

The 8320 OS is uninstalled from the computer and was uninstalled before I installed the 8100 OS.

I have tried the Update Applications option through Application Loader and still have no option to update. The Vendor.xml file is deleted as well.

Any ideas?

This update removed my addtional input languages (Swedish and Danish). I noticed they were not in the update menu as usual, but I didn't think they'd be removed. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!

You need a MultiLanguage version. This one says "East Asian."

Oh bo**ocks, I thought they were all multilanguage. Out comes the USB cable

Can anybody confirm that the white LED doesn't stay on in this version? I'd like to remove the tape, but not if the OS hasn't changed that functionality.

Sorry the white led still stays on, keep the tape on.

hey everyone,
i got the white screen with 507, just pluged it back in and launched App loader again, hopefully itll work now

For all who say their new install hour glasses a lot after install of new OS i have noticed that too but after it is running awhile and get everything set the way i like it runs like a champ!!

does this not work for the vodafone?
i have tmobile but i'm using a vodafone pearl because the tmobile one was acting up.
i have a 4.6 Desktop manager and it doesnt seem to recognize that there is a upgrade.

help

It will work on any 8100. (not an 8110 or 8120)

Did you delete the vendor.xml file?

yeah i deleted it and i just disconnected my phone from the pc and reconnected and its starting to work.
does aim / windows live / jivetalk work for this phone?

okay i just checked my DM and it says " a fatal error has occurred while updating your device's software. please try again"

Do try again, then.

Yes, AIM, win Live and Jivetalk work on that phone.

works great! Now what if I did not delete the vendor.xml file? what difference would it make?

If the vendor.xml isn't deleted, the OS just won't load.

thanks a lot

anyone has an answer for me? i need to sync my BB to my microsoft outlook.
thank you

Works fine on my ATT phone.

Install went smooth with the exception of the backup didn't go through automatically. I just restored my most recent backup (5 minutes before I started the new OS installation :p) and it was good to go.

No complaints about the new OS other than it's snail's pace slow. :(

So does this version have western english?

thanks

Upgraded last night with no problems. Seems to have a little more pep than my old .69 os.

OMfg after being stuck with 4.2 i finally decided to go with 4.5 and i love it

I'm very happy with this version. It seems to do everything well without any of the minor problems that previous versions had.

There is a fix in regards to the outlook connectors.

Here is the Link to Blackberry

Hope this helps.

My camera work fine in 69 but after upgrade to 81 it can't start, the screen goes dark when i try to start camera. pls help

I just noticed there was a more recent os update and my question about carrier info in the previous update thread might need a little clarifying.

When you upgrade, before you start it says:
"Warning: After completing the loading operation, you must activate your device wirelessly to continue to send and receive messages and use other blackberry services. If you do not want to continue with this loading operation, press cancel."

I guess I'm asking what this actually means. What will I need to activate wirelessly? Just the blackberry services like BlackBerry Messenger and the e-mail I currently have set up? OR is it talking about what the salesman does to the phone when you, say, get a brand new one?

UPDATE: I went ahead and said to hell with it/tried it anyways. It worked and everything was fine. Same as before just better OS!
Another Update: I just noticed the answer to my question on page two. I must've glossed over it!

hello Paul
i checked th link and indeed it was helpful, BUT, i have such folder as the link says, with the connector file, anyidea how can i find it?
please help
thanks
Carlo

yahoooo
thanks a ton!!

great thread. i am planning to install this version. downloading as i type.
has anyone noticed any conflicts with Google Maps or gmail apps with this version?
Thanks

Upgraded and got all the goodies I wanted, got my bluetooth headset working finally(all the buttons), the mediaplayer does what its supposed to, even my book readers font gets corrected.

Then I realize I can't make calls, send emails, txt etc. I'm not on the network. So I turned my wireless on and off, get the bars for maybe 30s (no edge) and then it just disappears. My sim card seems to work, can get my address book off it, and shows up in options. Can see my mobile network as tmobile, just no traffic. Tried downgrading to .69, no go back up with .81.

Any ideas so I can keep this awesome update?

Lovelly jubbly - works great on my vodafone 8100.
Nice new fonts, quicker. Are there release notes anywhere that say what was changed/fixed?

Just upgraded on my TMobile 8100; everything worked like a champ. I do notice that the 'preloaded' images are no longer there. Any way to get them back. This was an upgrade from the TMobile 4.2 (v107). Not critical, but it'd be nice to find a way to get the preloaded images back as I was using one as my background.

Any suggestions? I still have the TMobile 4.2 upgrade installed on my PC if there is a way to scrounge around in the installation files.

Thx.

There's a sticky thread in the General BlackBerry Discussion or the Media Center (I can't remember which) for the wallpapers.

John Clark -
Thanks! It was in general. Will try search more effectively next time.

Got it not sure if it was changing my phone or sending my service books but it is done. SWEET.
