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.

If you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507/543, simply connect to DM again and run application loader again and it should load the OS to the device.

If it is determined this has English language included, please comment.

I am almost as positive as positive gets that English is the native included language in EVERY OS for all BlackBerry devices.

I'm installing this right now. I'll let'cha know.

yeah, I think what we've determined is that the 'Multilanguage' version includes everything EXCEPT Chinese, and the 'Chinese' version has everything INCLUDING Chinese.

Not quite ... the Chinese one lacks a couple ... Greek, Portugese, and Catalan, I believe, for example.

Sorry, I wasn't looking for those languages...

Hahaha, no, no, I understand. Just saying, though, for someone who requires those (Portugese, for example), they may find themselves working with an older OS version.

Really, though, I bet one could edit the .alx files and copy the languages from the previous OS version (since there's only a .001 version difference) and have them on their handset, too.

these are the modified blackberry.alx and lbs.alx i made and used to unlock the vendor themes and bbmaps.

I take zero responsibility for you destroying your device from not knowing what you are doing or something wrong with the files.. It worked on my device which is an 8800

CBR900RR , kind friend, maybe still appreciated you to upload this rom bcz I still can not download from website due to chinese IP still is refused.
many thanks.

Chinese IP's are refused for a reason, unfortunatly. Wish there was something we could do for you.

that will be great appreciated if you can upload to me after you down it as this friend did (http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...-3-0-83-a.html) Tks

Gonna try this latest OS, cause the chinese version I have vodophone HK
is giving me a lot of static/drop calls. Thanks for the find and info..let you know how calls are with this.

Later

Just finished the install and placed 3 calls, seems better than it was.
Next will load the 8820 version of this..

Thanks Again!

Interesting ... lot of other Jersey folk on these forums ... ^_^

maybe I'm just nuts, but the way things display on the screen look slightly different. Almost like when you change the refresh rate on your computers monitor.

Anyone else notice this?

can someone kindly upload this newest rom bcz it can not downloaded from above website from China? that will be thank.

I am downloading now and will upload right after.

Big improvement for me in new jersey and nyc area. I was stumped as to why it was happening, but if you're on tmobile using the vodaphone os and having problems this fixes it.
I am curious as to why this happened, mayhaps it was preferring a certain frequency or something of the sort.

Thanks for the link, cheers.

sorry to trouble you again and many many thanks. i am downloading. very kind to you. tks a lot again.

I've notice this tool. I think the initial change was in 107. I experienced some screen rendering issue in 107 and don't have that problem with 108.

i have had terrible batterylife with this rom

I have pretty good battery life and this OS rocks. I didn't get a chance to put the other Chinese language open but everything works good and I did get a few weird errors but other than that .. nothing major.

FYI

Singapore and vodaphone had the same version posted on there site.

Snazzy. Which Vodafone carrier? Do they have a multilanguage version available?

This version already support the Bluetooth®stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP)?

Right.....I have a problem

Downloaded the latest from 02 in the UK for the 8800, went through the whole backup part, then told me it was going to upgrade and re-install which it did, device restarted took about 15 mins, now shows exception errors and will not connect to the desktop manager in anyway shape or form so no chance of restoring or re-flashing.......any ideas anyone

Did you try removing the battery and reinserting?

Sure did, just had to have the thing rebuilt from scratch.....still not working properly.......

No, it does not.

Stereo bluetooth isn't supported until 4.2.2 or greater comes out for the 8800.

I loaded it on to my 8800 and it works perfectly. No problems being experienced so far.

will this software work with BB 8820???

NO. That is why it is labeled FOR the 8800.

The latest for the 8820 is this:

Hmm... Not so sure about this OS. I've had questionable battery performance, and just now I was getting a "Battery too low for radio use" message even though I had it plugged into the wall and the Status screen reported a 10% charge. Previously, I could take it to a reported 5% or below without it shutting off the radio. I may roll back if we don't see another contender released in the next week or so...

Seems to be working quite well for me. Haven't had any of those issues so far myself ...

One thing I have noticed is that I used to have a separate folder on the desktop for my sms messages next to the email folder. It seems to be gone with this version.

Open up an email message>Options>General Options>SMS and Email Inboxes

choose SEPERATE

Thanks! Now how do I get BB maps enabled? It says its installed per the applications but I cant seem to actually get to the app.
