I'm sorry .. but this might sound stupid .. my cousin came from spain, and he has a BB 7290 .. i liked it .. so he gave it to me.. its unlocked . so im using it for calls and sms messaging .. can i access internet through gprs on it ? I live in syria by the way .. that's in the middle east if u dont know .. and non of my carriers have blackberry .. so can i just use it wit any carrier to access internet ?

If you can get the apn settings for your carrier you can browse the net with the 3rd party browser Opera Mini. You'll need a regular cell phone data plan of some kind, though.

Hi All,

I have a blackberry 7290 (unlocked). Few days back all of a sudden it switched off itself and was showing hour glass and eventually Error 365 to eeeeeeeRrrie 65. After looking through the Bb forums most of the ideas and suggested have not helped me.

At present the issue is -- the laptop IBM T42 cannot recognize the USB device RIM Handheld. Sometime it shows up in the device manager and the very next moment it disappears the device list. This scenario continues as long as RIM is connected via USB to the Laptop. Because of this the BB device manager cannot detect the handheld device.

Can some help me go past this issue?

Will upgrading OS remove your current unlocked status making it locked to the carrier you upgraded to?

No!

BlackBerry® Handheld Software v4.2 for BlackBerry® 7130c from Cingular - English, & Russia version exists?

I'm trying to get the latest update from Sprint, but when I go to do an OTA download, I'm unable to select a country in the drop down list. It continually says loading. Even when I press the menu button and click change option, nothing happens. I'm able to download the update to my desktop, but unable to get it to load in the application loader so I can push it to my BB.

Thanks for any help!

Hi I got blackberry 7230 with Bt (uk) firmware. I'm now using t-mobile multi-sim with it. BB can work only like phone or sms. (data connection refused) even I found APN. Today I download and install t-mobile firmware(uk) as I was thinking that it will alow me to surf internet. But after insallation I can see BT logo and recive text's from BT as they wellcome me in their network.It looks like nothing been installed from T-mobile. Internet still disabled (data connection refused) and once again I was trying both T-mobile and BT Apn's...not working . Can someone help me?

You need a Blackberry data plan from your carrier to get rid of the data connection refused message and get BB data.

Is there is a way where I can surf without data plan?

No,

I surf once or twice a week with out data....................wait thats cuz I am surfing a wave!!!! at the beach my mistake

Can I install version 4.2x software on a verizon 7130e without complications?

I see several posts regarding deleting the vendor.xml file on my laptop in order to install software from another carrier. What exactly is this file used for? What is accomplished by deleting it, and will I need another copy after the upgrade to 4.2?

I would like to upgrade to 4.2 in order to use the media manager software, but am not sure of the impact of using another carrier's 'approved' software on my verizon 7130e.

Yes, you can install the OS safely. The vendor.xml only prevents other carrier's OS's from being installed. It does nothing else and has no effect on what ultimately gets loaded to the device.

It should be noted that Desktop Manager's Media Manager is nearly useless on the 7130 since it doesn't have a Media Card.

Desktop Manager 4.2 SP2 and higher use Roxio for its Media Manager, and it is not only HUGE, but it is VERY INVASIVE - I strongly recommend either NOT installing it or go to Desktop Manager 4.2 SP1 which has the much smaller and significantly less invasive native Media Manager.

Hi, I have a question, probably sounds dumb but w.e. Im using the Blackberry pearl 8100 on T-mobile UK. I tried to install the OS from Cingular and T-Mobile US but unsuccessful. I used Blackberry desktop manager thing, the App Uploader shows a message something like: it's missing an "input method core library". I dont remember it verbatim but it was something along those words, then didnt let me install onto the blackberry. Thank you for helping

i have an unlocked tmobile pearl 8100 and am using at&t as my service. which OS should i download? the at&t or tmobile??? thanks

You can use any OS for a GSM carrier. Just make sure that you delete the vendor.xml file after installing it on the PC.

what is the latest gsm os??thanks for your help man.

This is the latest for any 8100 from any carrier...

HELLO from Ukraine
i have bb 7100t
where to get firmware with russian language and input (4.1xxx) ??
i searched all google all forums . i downloaded many firmwares but there are no russian((
???WHERE???


thanks

Just go to BB Desktop Manager and add additional languages in Applications Loader. I have any language in my BB (8310) as well as Full Russian localization. Perhaps this is a benefit of newer platform, I don't, know.
If any questions - contact me personally, and I'll explain you in russian ;)

Thanks for the great post!

i have an orange (uk) 8320 which is unlocked and im in australia for the next 12 months and using a vodafone sim, should i update with the orange or vodafone?

thanks.

You can use any carrier's OS on the BlackBerry. Just follow the directions to delete the "vendor.xml" file.

i installed the orange version, didnt think it made any difference

Usually one installs the latest version number, regardless of carrier.

Hey if somebody could please help me, I'm setting up my second 8120 pearl, and it is a brand new unlock 02 pearl, and I'm with T-mobile, and it's already unlocked, but I've been wiping it and I'm trying to change the os from the 02 OS to the T-mobile os, but everytime I use the "shared loader files" from the T-mobile installation off their site, it just ends up putting back the 02 OS somehow. I've figured it out a while back but I just can't seem to remember what I did. If anyone can help, thanks for your help in advance!

edit: Yes I've deleted the vendor.xml file
