Hi there,
I just sign in today on this forum and I hope I'll find some answer here from all of you BB gurus.

This is my story:
I bought 7100G (v4.1.0.292 (Platform 1.8.0.144)) unlocked for e-bay. I have 5 days fight with T-Mobile Croatia to activate BB service because they regularly don't do it if you don't buy mobile phone from them. They activate BB service to me and I succeed to:

-use BB as mobile phone and I can send and receive SMS
-set up my mail account
-install and set up to work OperMini

I can not use:
-BB browser (no icon)
-T-Zone (no icon)

I called then and they say that they can not support this type of phone. I think that this is a lousy excuse for having any will to find any send me correct services book.

Is there any help for me?

Thanks.

Teo

Have you looked at your BIS setup (are you BIS?) on the carrier website and is there a place to re-send service books?

Hi,
Thanks for so quick response. I have Blackberry Instantmail service and Blackberry Instantmail account open. I click on send Services book 10-20 times. I recived message but nothing changed on my BB. I also 10 time go to advanced options host routing table and register there, pull battery out any wait for 10-15 minutes ... I don't have clue what to do next because unofficialy I find out that I am only 7100G BB user in Croatia?

Some providers do not allow the usage of WAP or HTML browsing services for those not using their Enterprise service option. Perhaps T-Mobile Croatia is one of those?

DC could very well be right...

It is possible but no one from help desk told me that. I think that thay will love to find some reason to took me more money .
To make my self clear I am more than pleased with this what I have. I browse trought OperaMini, I can send and recive e-mail and use all gsm phone function but I think that this two icons must be activated with just a small amount of knowlage and will ...

If anyone have more ideas I am willing to sped nights browsing trought 7100 menus ha haha.

Hmmmm ... a small update ...

In TCP settings I changed ATP from web . thgprs to www . htgprs . hr (here is no space before and after points but I can not write "links" on forum yet) and I lost option to work with OperaMini but I still have possibilito to send mail and I still have GPRS sigh on screen? HOw is this possible?

If this can help in HRT Editor I have written:

I just signed on to tmobile about 1 day ago. Im signed on to their blackberry service. when I called tech support they informed me my blackberry (7100g) is compatible since its unlocked. I have received the email icons (email messages are in text not html format) and everything else works but im still waiting on an icon that resembles a globe to appear on my screen. they insist for me to wait up to 72 hours because all of my settings are correct but im just a little hesitant. Im here in the us and any feedback will be greatly appreciated, thanks

TalentedDJ--it sounds like you have your email setup and working(?), so your service is working. You may only need the service book for the browser. It could take that long but normally it is faster. Try rebooting your phone by pulling the battery out and letting the phone cycle back up.

I don't know if it will help in this situation but try >Options >Advanced Options >Host Routing Table >click the wheel and select "Register Now." That sometimes pulls in service books that should be on the phone.

I have also seen some cases where the Internet Browser will NOT appear on unlocked phones. There was some carrier in the US that would not push the Internet Browser service book if it was not one of the handhelds they sell. (Can't remember what carrier and handheld it was as it was a while ago) so you may be out of luck if that is the case here.

... hmmm ... is there any way to "crack" my service book

thanks for all of your suggestions, I have re registered through advance settings and reboot by removing the battery. all have failed. I will just wait one more day and if it doesnt show, my ebay seller will exchange it for me, thanks to all again. I recommend to all future readers of this post "do not purchase an unlocked blackberry and try to use it on another carrier from what it was made for". teoteoteo, good luck...

I wouldn't go that far. Most blackberries work fine unlocked on other carriers. Occassionally there can be problems. Best advice would be to do a little research before making a purchase.

quick question, what is the vender.exe? and how do I remove it?

It's vendor.xml and you delete that after installing an OS package, released by another carrier, to your PC for later installation on to the BB.

What are you trying to do?

I happened to read another post where someone wanted to change the os and he was told to make sure and delete the vendor code so it will still work with his current carrier so I thought maybe that was the case with mine since my was made for cingular..

No, deleting the vendor.xml only allows you to load other carrier's OS releases on the BB. It does nothing else.

TeoTeo i found out what the problem was!!! I had to go to the cingular website, clicked on the support link, then selected the 7100g which allowed me to download the desk manager. once that was completed, I downloaded the handsfree software. I deleted the vendor file by going to the c: drive, program files, common files, research,application loader. then started the desk manager, clicked on the application loader and it gave me all the software that was not on my blackberry (BROWSER was one of them) I checked browser, java and a couple more. updated and the next time I rebooted my blackberry I got the globe!!!!! Hope this helps....
