7100t OS 3.8.0.142 now available
FYI, T-Mobile has released an update to the 7100t handheld software. It's version (3.8.0.142). I have no idea what it does, but the application loader reports that the following applications are updated:
BlackBerry 3.8 System Software BlackBerry 3.8 Core Applications BlackBerry API Library BlackBerry Crypto 1 Library BlackBerry Crypto 2 Library GPRS Enhanced Roaming Enabler User Interface The software is available here: http://www.t-mobileapps.com/download...m?selDevice=11 |
I'm goin' in!
Okay...I'm goin' in!
I'll let you all know if I come out the other side... :wink: |
Woooh.. that much closer to 4.0!
|
What new software?
I downloaded and installled it -- but it still says version ....128 and 140? Even though the ZIP files ends with 128, the version inside looks to be still the old one.
Am I missing something? :shock: (n) |
128
I'm in the same boat. I have 128, not 142 as implied by the file. :(
|
After prowling around, this appears to be newer. The first thing I checked was the speakerphone icon bug and that appears to be corrected. I'll let ajaygoel comment further since he was aware of other bugs that I wasn't familiar with.
This Cardinal fan congratulates the Red Sox. What a moment! |
yup, i have the same issue! DL'ed hoping it would be 142, but it's still 128.
quick question, i'm trying to upgrade my desktop software.....excuse my ignorance, but can someone show me how it's done?! i'd like to upgrade to 14. thx in advance! |
any major differences?
|
desktop software doesn't look any different...still same version number in about box.
I do concur that the phone firmware seems to be newer despite the same version number reporting...aka speakerphone bug fixed! =) that's all I needed at this point anyway. Also now all my OS is showing up in my applications folder in the settings, where it didn't from the factory. Interesting... -- Peter |
Be careful - temporarily lost apps with OS install defaults
With this install (1st pass) I lost phone, browser & download fun icons. From Apps, lost tasks, notepad, and brickbreaker. From settings, lost help file. All this despite backup and restore of data. Turns out that the default upgrade checkmarks are set to REMOVE them.
details: downloaded both install files. Desktop mgr is 3.6.3.10, not .14! Before upgrade, I was on V. 3.8.0.112 (platform 1.8.0.83) kernel v. 3.8.0.18. After upgrade, on V. 3.8.0.128 (platform 1.8.0.91) Kernel v 3.8.0.18. So how did I get my browser, phone , and other application icons back? I just went back into desktop manager, rechecked them, and reinstalled them. Whew, what a heart attack! Not cool to find out that without the phone icon, you cant make calls! :o By the way, this new os fixed a bug where the phone's incoming caller ID was in tiny font. Yeah. :D |
the desktop software is the same that the handset came with on the CD (which is equiv to 3.6 SP3, i believe). the latest, from RIM, is 3.6 SP3a (3.6.3.11). i'm not sure what the discrepancy is for the ending version numbers, but i'd never get my desktop software from the service provider ;)

It's not the same version number!
The old version number was 3.8.0.112. The new version number is 3.8.0.128. 3.8.0.142 is the package number which is apparently unique to the carrier. It's confusing, but RIM has different versions for packages and the applications contained in them. |
For some reason after I install the new software the software version does not change, it still shows 3.8.0.112.
Hmmm |

Installing it now, but had to delete the vendor.xml file to do so. Thoughts about the upgrade:
- Hope it still works with my foreign language (German) add-on from the Vodaphone package - Hope fixes my "freezing" of my Jabra 250 Will post results ... |

Jbeers, thanks for the tip on making sure I had browser, phone, etc. checked when upgrading to the new O/S. (y) bollar, FWIW, I didn't have to delete the vendor.xml file. Instead, after downloading xxx.142, I just double-clicked the executable (before connecting my handheld to the pc). After that installed, when I connected my handheld, it automatically asked me to upgrade the O/S and everything went smoothly. |
