I have Tmobile 7100 t. I just upgraded to os 4.0 and use web client only. I am now able to view jpg's.

hmm, I've issues installing modem on my Win XP Pro SP2. Device is not detected as a PnP device. On the other hand, I have RIM Virtual Serial Port device installed in COM ports (COM11). However, any attempt to use this COM port as a modem with standard driver (Windows driver) result in successfull installation of modem but unsuccessfull diagnostic query (device doesn't work properly). Any attempt to use a modem driver that came with Desktop Manager 4.0.0.30 result in following message during installation: "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware". The specified location in this case is C:\Program Files\ Common Files\ Research In Motion\Modem Drivers\rimserial.sys

Any suggestions?

correction: I'm able to use Windows driver for 33600 bps modem (and successfully query modem). Are ther any other drivers to use?

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Modem Drivers
- rimserial.cat
- RimSerial.inf
- RimSerial.sys

These are the correct drivers for the IP modem. The modem is listed as a Standard Modem (mine is on COM4). This should not be something you have to do manually - just connecting your handheld should 'install' it and opening BDM4.0 allows you the interfacing to use it. If you do not see the modem listed above (or if you do, even), disconnect your handheld, remove the modem from device manager, reconnect your handheld and see if the modem is reinstalled in device manager.

I have the files in place. The problem is Device Manager doesn't detect RIM as modem (and obiously does nothing with these files).

I had this problem before when I was using BDM 3.6.x. The problem gone away when I upgraded to BDM 3.8.x (but then I'd an issue with connectivity -- I was able to connect but I wasn't about to do anything after).

I'll try to reinstall BDM. Maybe this will resolve the issue.

reinstall didn't change anything. however, I got it working with Windows driver for 33600 bps modem. The speed is a bit horrible (I probably got spoiled by DSLs and T3s at the office ), but it works.

There is 4.0 OS for 7100v from Vodafone finally.
Package v4.0.0.234
I downloaded and installed, works.

Rogers beta handheld 4.0.0.234 up finally

And where do you get to download thius 'beta' handheld code?

For the 7290, it is available at the link on the first page of this thread.

Right, so it's still not on the Rogers website. I wonder if that link is even official.. what do they use that page for anyway? I figure it was for carriers that don't want to support release of handheld software such as telus/fido/etc.

That link is RIM's Blackberry site so it's "official" whatever that means. Rogers softare generally appears here prior to being posted on www.rogers.com. I don't know why. Phone Ted Rogers and ask him

This is the link to watch for an official Rogers software upgrade (and 4.0 is not there yet).

I just downlaoded the beta, is it worth installing or should i wait ? how long until the final release ? A day or so ?

WARNING: Rogers 4.0 Beta download could be junk.
I've tried three times now and got Error 507 every time.

I'm going back to my HK4.0

so the beta still has a number of bugs, and should wait until they sort them out

Looks that way. Just finishing my HK 4.0 reload with no problems whatsoever.

so ur saying the HK is the best OS compared to the rogers release ? why so

So far? It actually works. :D

I installed OS4 on my 7100r and it seems to be fine Life's a Beta - live it on the Edge!

I'm on a 7290.

nice one roofus i like the way you think !!!

I'm on a 7290 with a tmo sim. I just upgraded my HK CSL 4.0 code to the rogers code and all is working perfectly. In fact I noticed the rogers version is the same that is shipping on the verizon 7250's. So... seems pretty good.

A friend of mine has a similar problem. He went from Rogers OS 3.8 to HK 4.0 to Rogers 4.0 and is getting error messages like yours. His screen also went monchrome. Anyone else having these problems?

I've been trying to backup my new tmo 7230 using AT&T 4.0 OS and Desktop. I keep getting a Communication Error. "Data was not regognized by the handheld"

Funny thing is. It worked the first day I had the unit. Now, it's a no go. Of course t-mobile support won't help due to the 4.0 thing.

If I use the Selective backup under advanced options I can back up everything but the "content store". Everything else communicates fine, but not a great option for quick and easy.

Any ideas?

Here's the link for Starhub, Singapore users:

Apps ver: 4.0.0.185

7230, 7290, 7730 and one more

I have a 7100t and upgraded to 4.0. I DO NOT have BES and CAN view JPGs on my unit. The only problem I have after upgrading the OS is that my calculator no longer works. After spending time on the phone wtih T-Mobile PDA support, I was transferred to RIM. RIM attempted to resolve the problem by having me WIPE the unit CLEAN and reinstall the OS. Unfortunately, that did not resolve the issue. As a result, T-Mobile sent me a unit which I just received yesterday.

I have the 7100r is it worth upgrading to T-mobiles 4.0 ? or will it mess up my phone

Just wanted to pass along that I successfully upgraded to 4.0 with my Cingular 7290. Here's what I did:

• 1. Installed BBery Desktop 3.6 to 4.0 from Cingular's RIM page (just let the installer do its thing)
  2. Sync'd device with no issues
  3. Installed BBerry OS 4.0.0.234 from Roger's RIM page to my computer
  4. Connected device and auto-sync started; software crashed
  5. Remembered to rename vendor.xml and then restarted BBerry software (I had done this to get the AWS build installed, but forgot to check if the new desktop software put it back ... it did)
  6. Connected device and let it perform the upgrades

So far so good ... been running for a few hours and playing around with various apps that people have complained about in this form. Haven't seen anything fail yet. I was previously running the AWS 3.8 build since it was a little newer than the Cingular release.

JPG attachment shows up if I send to my BWC address but retrieve of the attachment fails (does nothing). Guessing this is a Cingular issue of some sort - hard to call them on it since I'm not supposed to have 4.0 on my device yet. I haven't upgraded my corporate BES to 4.0 yet so I can't comment on whether that works or not. Hope to do that within the next couple weeks.

I was able to load the Rogers 4.0 today by first upgrading my Desktop sw to 40033 from 40030.

someone else had posted this link earlier in this thread.

too bad still no ver4 support for 6720 :(

I have a T-Mobile 7100T, have gone through the upgrade process, do not use a BES, and...I can open pics attached to my emails.

has 4.0 come out for t-mobile BB 7230?

I downloaded the AT&T v4.0 and followed the following directions:

This is because you will need to delete or rename the VENDOR.XML file located at:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\VENDOR.XML
First, install BlackBerry OS 4.0 but do not run BlackBerry Desktop. Next, delete or rename the VENDOR.XML. Finally, run desktop manager to install.

After I changed "VENDOR.XML", I went into: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\RIMDeviceManager" but nothing happens when I click on the "RIMDeviceManager" program...

I'm sure I probably am an idiot an missing an important, simple step, but I'm stumped. (Already tried reseting my laptop, and now I'm out of ideas.)

Thanks for any help and feel free to mock the newbie.

Hi all. I just dloaded the Telus 4.0 upgrade for my Verizon 7750 and installed it. It worked like a charm. Then only problem I'm having is the internet, but i wasn't able to use it before the upgrade, so who cares. Everything else works fine. I can send and receive emails. Later,
Rob

Bull3001 No T-Mobile 4.0 for the 7230, however, the AT&T 4.0OS will work. I'm using it on my tmo 7230 without problem.

Follow the instructions in the front of this thread http://www.blackberryforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=1995
and you should be on your way.

LightBringer, did you run the loader.exe file from the AppLoader folder? The device manager.exe will only bring up an icon in your systray that will allow you to set some option configs for the desktop software. The loader.exe will install 4.0 on your BB.

"cbotd"
i was just wondering if u r in the US, even thought u have a 7230, did you have to end up purchasing the $20 per month deal for BB internet access to get internet, or it worked witout that on AT&T OS4?

cbotd,

Not sure what I was doing wrong, but afert another reset and some swearing, I got it going. Thanks for the quick responce.

The OS4.0 upgrade from TMO for the 6230, 7230 and 7730 (and maybe more) will be available on Monday the 21st.

Jibi,

Thanks for the update. I'll be installing that myself.

Bull3001,

the OS4.0 upgrade will not allow data transfer unless you have a data plan with t-mobile. I have the 19.99 deal that allows BWC(Blackberry Web Client) e-mail and Web browsing. You'll notice a GPRS signal.

If you want BES(Blackberry Enterprise Server) you'll have to bump up to the 29.99 plan. If you have gprs or gsm as your signal, then you don't have web and won't get web even with a 4.0 upgrade. You'll need to have a GPRS signal.

Lightbringer,

Glad all is working. I've found a few choice words kick things into gear too.


Thanks again Jibi we'll be looking for the upgrade.
