BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.5.0.92 (Multilanguage)

Package Version: 4.5.0.92
Consisting of:

Applications: 4.5.0.69
Software Platform: 2.7.0.72
File name: 8100M_PBr4.5.0_rel92_PL2.7.0.72_A4.5.0.69_Orange_F rance.exe
File size: 76.84MB

Download from here:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...A5DFF913DF997A

Instructions for installing on ANY carrier's 8100:

1. Make sure you have Desktop Manager 4.2 SP2 or higher installed. If you don't have DM you can use the link below:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...93E4F3BB068C22
2. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running the file you downloaded.
3. Locate the vendor.xml file and delete it. It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Plug in BB and Open Desktop Manager. You should be prompted to upgrade.
The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to DM again and run application loader again and it should load the OS to the device.

Nice, been using this for a while now (English only) but have been wanting the multilanguage. Thanks JS.

This version is included chinese (Taiwan) language or not

I'm not sure if you'll see many (if any) UI changes, but I noticed that 69 is quite a bit snappier than 55. Also, 69 more reliably reads my media library on boot up.

Ah...so now to find the .76,78,81

dd73 · 09-11-2008, 10:28 AM

Hi all, newbie here... bit confused and apologies.

Just updated to .55 is it worth doing the .69? (besides the couple of points made earlier). What I;m trying to ask is a novice better off waiting to see how it performs?

My unit is the 8100

I do not see that language in the application loader.

That's the spirit!

I think you'll like it over .55.

Elijah86 · 09-11-2008, 10:57 AM

Updating form the same version (beta though) will post back what I find.

JSanders · 09-11-2008, 11:13 AM

If the release versions are exactly the same, you will find no differences other than pehaps some langauge options

Correct. I had the English only 4.5.0.69 installed, and installing this version did not prompt for an upgrade. I did have more language options in the app loader, however, which is what I had been wanting.
