You have to upgrade to 4.1 first.
Download the handheld OS (sticky thread has all of the download location)
Execute the downloaded file
Delete vendor.xml from the C: drive of your PC
Start Desktop Manager with the BB connected
That should load 4.1

Did you download the HANDHELD OS v4.1 (in addition to Desktop Manager v4.1). You need both.

Ahha - didn't read the whole thread....
OK - start here: http://www.blackberryforums.com/showthread.php?t=1871
Then reread the entire thread by Jibi about how to install Zen. |

OK - from the top:
1) You downloaded the latest 4.1 handheld for your phone. Where did you download it from?
2) After you downloaded the CORRECT, 4.1 handheld OS for your phone - a 7100g, right, you executed the downloaded file, right?
3) You located and deleted VENDOR.XML
4) You restarted Desktop Manager

And You Can Not Load The Zen Theme Unless You Are On 4.1.

The more you use it the faster it will run because most/all of the information is already loaded. Just bear with it.
