Telstra Software for BlackBerry 7130e and 7250 - 4.1.0.364
 

I'm not really sure why Telstra does not have the Zen theme (or the Cingular 71xx theme) included with this newer version of the OS. Anyhow, if you want Zen back on your handheld after you upgrade, I have put a very condensed instruction set on how to do so.

Thanks Jibi. Hopefully Verizon is soon to follow. I would rather have them back on my verizon 7130 then another providers OS.

well it works but it did not fix the signal icons in zen...

--edit
don't like this ver i'm going to have to down grade:-x
some of the option for displaying messages numbers in the home screen is missing.

---edit
what is realy missing is home screen in options all there is is just organize apps...

Downgrading is fun :oops:

it fixes the signal icon in the dimension icon theme.

I downloaded the software. made the changes but when I open up Desktop manager the new OS does not load. How do I load it?

Did you delete the vendor.xml file?

I was about to look to install the NEXTEL 4.1 on a TELUS 7520 with the only instruction to delete then vendor.xml file.

Now I see this post that have a more recent 4.1 with some more instructions like replacing an alx file.

Should I go this way? Anyone installed it on a TELUS 7520?

NEXTEL AND TELUS are two totally different technoligies...

hmmm.. are you sure? Both offer 7520 with PTT enabled. And a few post below, a thread I started, someone say he's using NEXTEL package on his TELUS without problem.

OOPS! Forget my 1st post, I was reading 7520 and it's 7250! My bad! So I think I was right about NEXTEL, those model numbers confused us. :-)

Anyone know what this icon is (circled in red)?

It's the GPS icon....

The zen theme link is dead can someone post a good one?
thx

yea, this is happening to me also. I deleted the vendor.xml file and followed the instruction just as listed. How to i get Blackberry Manager to start the upgrade?

I usually restart my computer and then it notices the upgrade - otherwise, just let it sit and it will eventually do it.

More importantly - why is anyone installing this Telstra when Sprint's .387 is out and it fixes all the glitches found in this one? :)
