Am I supposed to have a different ALX file for Telstra to load properly here or what ?

Yes. Take a look again at steps 6-A and 7-A :

Quote:

6-A. TELSTRA: Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\8700-v4.1.0.309_P2.0.0.133 and rename BlackBerry.alx to BlackBerry.alx.old

7-A. TELSTRA: Download and extract the new Telstra BlackBerry.alx file.
This should be extracted to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\8700-v4.1.0.309_P2.0.0.133. Click here.

You'll have to go back and look at the actual instructions for the link...since I don't have 10 posts yet I can't post any links. :( But the link in 7-A is what you need...

Thanks Seattle18 and Jibi. This really was an easy upgrade that I really didn't want to do just for Zen. I can be added to the list of upgraders who say the volume issue AND the reception have improved. Probably all for naught since I expect to get the 8100c this week if it is released.

hey everyone ,
i have the blackberry 8700g and i dont have internet on my phone and i wanna know if i can still add themes and ringtones and other fun stuff to my phone and i only had this phone for 4 months and if anyone can help with some sites that i can go check out

nlivsey · 11-28-2006, 09:31 PM

Seattle, i went ahead and followed everything to step 8, but i'm getting a prompt when i update my Manager, saying the application "browser" cannot be loaded because it requires the following applications that aren't available:

net.rim.blackberry.xml

what does that meen?

schalliol · 12-07-2006, 01:18 PM

I'll qualify this by saying I have not read the 16 pages of posts, but I have been using the Zen theme for a long period of time now. Is there a way to take that theme and change the look of it? Additionally, I would prefer if I could have more than 5 apps on the home screen, but I love the hiding and organization of Zen. Thoughts?

You are not able to load any of the carrier theme OTA; sorry.

There's a company with my BB which will require me to do a Security Wipe. Here's my scenario, so please let me know what I should do.

1) My BB came with the stock Cingular software so when I wipe off the BB, will I lose the Bharti upgrade that I did?
2) Or if I perform the Restore function, will I be back to normal again?

abz123 · 01-02-2007, 11:55 PM

ok so i followed all the steps correctly... now when i reach step 8... i open desktop manager... ummm is it supposed to update itself? i did tried application loader and it found nothing... any suggestions? im using a bell blackberry 8703e cdma

champracer29 · 01-04-2007, 05:33 AM

Seattle18: I have run T-MO/BHARTI, on my cingular, and seem have funny way to organize. I hid some stuff that I don't need, then run Zen theme and show still there, but other solution to it is to move whatever you don't want in the home page, move it more than 5 icons, then after that you won't able to see it even in the menu.

Curious, which OS do you perfer the best? Telstra or Bharti?

thanks,

abz123 · 01-04-2007, 05:31 PM

ok im having some problems... im followed all the steps properly... it connects with my blackberry.. but it wont prompt itself in step 9... and when i go to apploader... it says no system software was found on your device...any suggestions?!

Everything is working flawlessly so I gotta send madd props to jibi, dc/dc & last but certainly not least seattle18 for posting the step by step routine.

May I know how to install the Zen theme on a 7290. Also where can I find the theme. Help would be appreciated. Thanks

ashkan21 · **voicemail icon in zen? -** 02-01-2007, 06:41 PM

Hi all,

I posted this question in the 8700 forum, but didn't receive any replies. Since it's related to the Zen theme and most people talking in this thread are using that theme i'm posting here.

My issue is that i do not get a voicemail icon or the missed call icon on the home screen when zen is set as my theme. If i use any other theme, then i do get these icons. The weird thing is that if i use the browser in the zen theme, then the voicemail icon and missed call icon show up at the top. As soon as i exit the browser, the icons disappear. This is making it very difficult for me to know when i have a missed call and voicemail.

Is everyone else here having this issue? I just received this blackberry from T-mobile and the OS listed is v4.1.0.346.

Thanks in advance.

ashkan21 · 02-02-2007, 09:30 AM

Well i re-installed the Zen theme and now the problem is gone! It sucks how a brand new unit straight from the vendor can have such issues...

Thanks to this forum the problem is solved.

the .346 does not support the zen theme that's why.

Nor is there a reoccurrence of a problem that I and others on this forum had, a More Service Book Missing message when scrolling through a long message.

Interestingly, I lost little on the wipe. All I had to do was type my PocketDay key back in. Even my prior font settings were preserved. I thought a wipe would, well, wipe everything out. But it didn't.

This is more or less a double post. I posted something similar to a thread I started in the 8700 forum. Usually I don't double post. But this is such a common issue, and people in one forum may not look in the other. Hopefully I have not angered the Admin deities.

having the same issue... trying to wipe the handheld. will post results.

to recap: zen OS is amazing. it's everything i've ever wanted in a handheld OS and i've had them ALL. treo, 8125, Nokia E61, Moto Q, a pearl, and this 8700g i have now. it's on a BES server. i'm serious here kids. it's amazing. it will break my heart if this doesn't work. i've already pranced about the office bragging about the new UI on this and calling everyone lamo's. i dont want to have the egg on my face tomorrow when i show up with the cingular OS back on my phone.

Sean_WS · 03-06-2007, 10:49 PM

no luck. reverting back to standard cingular OS. i'll be weeping in the corner if anyone needs me.

legitkid1 · 10:43 PM

i got the new os and vodaphone today and the dimension today themes loaded but no zen theme. Im stumped.
i have the 8703e.

gosouthcarolina · 04-08-2007, 06:40 PM

I'm having trouble installing on my 8703c...

I get to step 8, where it says to wait for desktop manager to prompt to upgrade... I never get this prompt. Did I do something wrong??

Swede · 04-09-2007, 10:20 PM

I can get the Zen today to work, but the Vodafone today wont, any ideas. 8703e Sprint

mitch1877 · **Problem with Telstra -** 05-28-2007, 12:36 PM
