go to this link:

and use the modified .alx's that match the version numbers. Don't worry about the carrier name associated. As long as the numbers match you're ok.

There is also a sticky in the 8800 forum for Vodafone's .101 version. They are the same OS. You can follow the instructions there for the update.

If the Vodafone and T-Mobile 101 releases are truly the same, I'll be sticking with the older T-Mobile release. This 101 had my 8800 doing all sorts of funky things with call dropouts and tethering was unreliable.
I'd still like to know if there's a direct link to the T-Mobile 101 release.

That's the original TMO link for TMO 8800 OS 4.2.1.101 / P2.3.0.80:
Blackberry
No problems so far with my TMO 8800 and the new version.
Good luck.

FYI: That link takes you to a login page, but after some link following I found the download.
Thank you!

I'm really confused...
TMO says the latest for the 8800 is 4.2.1.74.
The links provided are for a 4.2.1.101 version...
What's what?

Carriers release different versions as they see fit. All software is written by RIM and tested and released by the carriers.
T-Mobile is listing 4.2.1.74; there are newer versions available from other carriers.

T-Mobile worldwide has currently two different versions:
TMO US: 4.2.1.74
TMO-US-Upgrade Service: BB Upgrade US TMO
TMO Europe: 4.2.1.101
TMO-Europe-Upgrade Service: BB Upgrade EU TMO (chose first the location, e.g. UK, then klick "Free download area")
Both are official and approved versions by TMO. Don't worry to use the latest TMO version.
Hope that helps - have fun.

Hello All,
new to this forum...
Anyway, downloaded the new firmware, loaded it...
But, do not see a list of changes? Is there a CHANGELOG anywhere?
Also, I loaded it on my 8800, and under info it still shows:
4.2.1.68 (platform 2.3.0.54)
I am using Vodafone, The Netherlands.
Furthermore, my BBMaps icon is now gone.
I tried loading the ALX's posted on that other post, but get a message that they are not compatible with my device??
Please advise.

Leonard,
There is no change log for the new OS's. The carriers rarely release that info.
As far as your 8800, how long did it take to load the OS? It should take 20 minutes or more. If it went right through and was done in a few seconds then the OS didn't load. Make sure you delete the vendor.xml file and try loading it again.
As far as BBMaps, just make sure you check the BBMaps box when you load the OS and it should be there.
For the .alx's on "that other post" that is a little more indepth than simply using the "add" feature in application loader to "load" them. You have to replace your Blackberry.alx and/or LBS.alx files with the ones in the thread and then run through application loader. They will load their respective programs automatically. Read the instructions in that thread and it will become a little more clear.

It indeed did not take that long.
I installed the setup.exe, then it executed the desktop manager.
It ran an update which took like 1 minute...
How do I update it then?...

Where is the vendor.xml file?
I've updated my blackberries several times with no problem, so I have a pretty good idea of how to do it, but now the vendor.xml file and even apploader is missing. When I go into c:\program files\common files\research in motion there is no apploader but just one named blackberry, if i go into it i find Documentation, Connectors, Data Migration, Pumatech Desktop setup, Action Engine, Transaction Manager and Template. Where has apploader went? I did a search on C:\ for apploader and vendor.xml and none were found.
This is my first upgrade after installing DTM 4.2.2 SP2, does this has something to do? Are files now stored somewhere else?

You need to install the OS to the PC, as well. Then the vendor.xml and all the appropriate folders will be installed.

Thanks John for your quick reply. I've downloaded, then installed the OS in the PC (just as I have done many times in the past), but now no vendor.xml nor apploader appear, yet if I run DTM, and run applications loader, the new OS appears. Obviously, need to delette vendor.xml before installing or it will not run.
Thanks for your help.

I loaded the T-Mobile 101 version and experienced the call dropping issue. Downgraded to Rogers and the problem resolved.

I had an "uncaught exception" error that had my 8800 locked up hard. Even a reset wouldn't cure it as the minute it restarted the uncaught exception popped right back up. I wiped it with JL Commander and installed the Vodafone 4.2.1.101 OS version. I also added the modified .ALX file and now I have a boatload of themes. No issues at all with the new OS. No dropped calls, signal issues, or errors. This sucker is hummin' along like a finely crafted Swiss watch!
