VZW 7750 4.0 Upgrade -
01-30-2005, 07:48 PM
Here's my experience with the 4.0 upgrade on Verizon Wireless with the 7750.
1.) followed the instructions here...
2.) enjoyed new 4.0 operating system
3.) noticed I could no longer send e-mail from my BB.
4.) called Verizon Wireless and complained.
5.) was instructed to wipe my device with the failed password 10x
6.) said, "$hit" what do I do about this 507 error?
6a.) was told to return the device to a Verizon Wireless store.
6b.) continued to read the forums for a solution to the error.
7.) downloaded the 3.6 desktop manager
8.) downloaded the 3.7 operating system
9.) reinstalled the desktop manager and operating system
10.) started once again using the 3.7 operating system...
So basically, the 4.0 install worked... obviously though I didn't have an experience with the web browser because it's not supported... I however did not expect to have the problem sending e-mail... So if you're experiencing problems sending e-mail on your VZW 7750 after upgrading to the 4.0 OS... either please suggest to me how I can still send e-mail after the upgrade... or follow along with these instructions so you can restore your BB to the factory original state and again have full functionality.

Mark, HK CSL now has 4.0.0.185 (Applications; 4.0.0.220 Package) for the 7100g model handset. This works on other 7100 model handsets.
However, I've had issues with this release for BES. You can see my notes in the BES Admin Corner forum.
The download is not on their own downloads website, but it is on their RIM-hosted downloads site.

I think I should have gotten an OGO and a regular phone with a better rate plan.

Mark's link for the http://software.se.t-mobile.com downloads page has the link for the 3.8 software, but it is the same link to the 4.0 (they just need to update the originating page to be 4.0 instead of 3.8).

It appears to have been updated -- links to the 4.0 version of 7100t now.
Thanks for the heads-up!
Also changed all version numbers to Apps versions, since that's what most people are interested in. Now version numbers are directly comparable.
Thanks,
Mark Rejhon

I have been told repeatedly from T-Mobile that 4.0 would allow the 7100t on the BWC plan to open .jpg attachements from EMail. I have installed 4.0 today and I do NOT have this ability. Am I missing some setting here, or am I (as usual) getting B.S. information from TMobile? Anyone using a 7100t w/ the 4.0.0.198 handheld software able to open a .jpg attachement?

Question for Mark -
01-31-2005, 10:29 PM
Hi Mark,
Is Brick Breaker supported in version 4.0 OS for Bell Mobility for 6750? It is a Black/White unit? I have installed version 4.0 OS about three times now and it does not get installed.

Did you select the checkbox when you were presented with a list of applications to install? I'd be surprised if Brickbreaker was missing...if you had it before on your monochrome BlackBerry.
If worse comes to worse, you can use javaloader.exe to remove the brickbreaker game from the 3.7 OS, and install it on your 4.0 BlackBerry;
Try checking your BlackBerry Desktop Manager
-> Application Loader
-> Next
-> Look at the checkboxes and enable BrickBreaker
Thanks,
Mark Rejhon

Missing Bluetooth Icon -

You just need to go into Settings:Options:Bluetooth and set up your headset again. Then the icon will show up.

Rumor has it that BlackBerryOS went gold at Rogers and is being released Feb 7th.

Brick Breaker -
02-01-2005, 09:19 PM
Mark,
Brick Breaker did not appear in the list of apps to install. Therefore, I could not select it. I had an older version of brick breaker on my 6750. I removed BrickBreaker from version 3.6 OS prior to installing 4.0.
Tonight, I checked App Loader, and Brick Breaker was not in the list.
Can you send me a copy of the Brick Breaker game? If Not, do you know where I can get it from or what to do next?

Kikki, give me a minute and I'll see if I can get something for you. It'll be a minute though. It appears that BrickBreaker for OS4.0 is available for 75xx, 7520, 72xx, 7100x, and 77xx models.

Kikki - do you have an 8 MB or 16 MB 6710. I think the 8 MB 6710 had a cut down version of 4.0 so that it would fit in memory. I saw in another thread that you had memory issues...

Okay, that appears to be the issue. I'm surprised we had not heard anything about it. Anyhow, with OS3.x (sans 3.8), it appears that BrickBreaker was included in the OS - not an optional component. Starting with OS3.8 and OS4.0, it is now a separate application. In the ALX file for it, it only has the models listed above as being available/compatible.
My only suggestion is to email RIM and/or Bell Mobility and ask them if they plan to make BrickBreaker available for the 6750 model. If not, you may want to downgrade back to OS3.6.
I would say that I could extract the files from OS3.6 for you to attempt to load to 4.0, but its just not available separate from the OS for OS3.6.
