Instructions for installing either version on ANY carrier's 8900:

1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

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, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.

Have to love the carrier name, hey i'm british!

Does it have Arabic?

It's not there as an installation languange..

Have yu noticed any significant differences from .114?

Great, Sticked.

thanks the ring tone is v loud now

Just upgraded another device and although the installer doesn't have it as an option, when you update the device it is there as a language.

This update is not beta right? I know there was a .133 beta posted before.
Thanks guys!

Official releases ONLY are posted here.

^^ that is the carrier name which has released it.

It is the very same .133 as the beta, no difference.

Thank you-I should have been more observant!

Thanks for keeping all of us informed and updated.(y)

Installed here. This was my first 8900 upgrade. Boy was it FAST to upgrade compared to 8310. Maybe 15 minutes total - maybe less.

No problems encountered here.

seems like if u already have the beta version .. it doen;t really update.. which means it;s the same thing?

or should i downgrade then upgrade to the offical one

It's the same no reason to downgrade then upgrade

cool thanks

hmm.. I have the tmo 8900. Just downloaded and installed and DM is telling me there are no updates then I select the new OS from the list. What's up with that?

Might wanna try reading the instructions up there buddy, ALL of them.

So since when do we have to use loader.exe directly and not DM for updates to go through? This is new...

quiet a while bud (y)

If I load a non-TMobile (USA) OS onto my TMobile (USA) 8900, will I lose UMA support?

no, it'll work fine. just be sure to delete the vendor file
