I upgraded my Bell Mobility 8703e to the Verizon 4.2.1 OS and everything works well. It took about 45mins to complete.

Anyone know what the latest version of Blackberry maps is? I'm about to download 1.1.32 but I thought there was a newer version?

I have v1.1.35 after the OS v4.2.1.106 upgrade. Try invoking the Applications Loader within the Desktop Manager again -- most likely it will automatically prompt to update BB Maps.

I had 1.1.35 after the 4.2.1 upgrade but it was missing the option for internal gps support. When I grab the latest version online, 1.1.32 is the latest that gets loaded.

I've been using Citibank's Citi Mobile app on my Blackberry up until now. It worked quite well on my 8703e (VZW) under OS 4.1. When I upgraded to 4.2, I began getting the dreaded "freeze up".

Anyone else?

I haven't used that particular application, but you may wish to check for a OS v4.2.x version of the app. Even if there is not one, try re-installing it, which has solved issues with a couple of third-party apps for me.

I got bPhone today and the Dimension Today working on 4.2.1 for the 8703e.

I downloaded the latest build of 8700 software from T-Mobile Europe.
Blackberry
(Direct Link doesn't work) :(

Select: UK, Free Download Area, Devices, RIM Devices, 8700 4.2.1 rel 180, then 8700M_PBr4[1].2.1_rel180_PL2.3.0.86_A4.2.1.108.exe.

Take the net_rim_theme_bbdimension_today_320x240_w.cod from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\8700-v4.2.1.108_P2.3.0.86\Java and copy it to a different location (I used my desktop because I was lazy).

Use javaloader to load it to your device:
JavaLoader.exe -u load net_rim_theme_bb_dimension_today_320x240.cod

My device rebooted automatically after the load. Upon the OS loading, I now have the today theme as an option, and bPhone can be activated.

I have javaloader.exe since I have the JDE installed for Blackberry development, but I know that I've seen it online by itself.

It worked for me....Thanks!!!

[Dawg]

me too just be careful when you run the app loader it will delete the today file and you have to reload it so if you want other today themes load them first. Then run the javaloader and then you can use the today themes on your device

[Doughdaddy]

I am getting an Error: Unable to open file?

Did you get this and why?

[lraed74]

So my new question is.........what about some of the custom themes that have been made? Will those be useable or not? Are we able to create our own with Plazmic and those work?

I have to wait till later today to try the today theme, glad people are getting it to work though, thanks Kormac!!

so far every theme ive loaded has worked since I lodaed the today theme

Then I need your help I guess. I cannot get that Today theme to loed. I get "Error: unable to open file Disconnected"

I can load other today themes that same way but cannot get them to activate. I won't give me the option.

did you follow the javaloader instructions

[joepelaez]

javaloader.exe and *.cod file need to be in the same folder.

Yes, followed them exactly. Both files are in the same location, I get no errors that it cannot find the Javaloader or the .cod files, it just gives that error, tried redownloading thinking maybe the file was corrupt, and will try again.

So are you saying you didn't reload 4.2 as Kormac did? You just installed the theme with the cod file and javaloader?

[Doughdaddy]

OK, now it loaded but it will not activate.... this is getting frustrating! I use the today theme all the time and cannot understand why it won't work when it will for yours.

Removing the modules again and will try once more.
