Select Blackberry 8130 from the dropdown and click Next. Then click the "Download" link that appears at the bottom of the page.

Instructions for installing on any CDMA 8130 from any carrier:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Desktop Manager installed. It's 4.2 SP2, or Version 4.3, and can be downloaded Click Here. or from the AllTel site linked above.
2. Download the above 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.

Previous version OS is located here.

Excellent...thanks for finding/posting.

From .81 Alltel to .97 - who knows what wonderful goodies we'll find! :D

If you are not running this os can you please check your video recorder and see if the led flashes when you record video... Also I am running the dimension L them and the message screen looks to be different I think....

it flashes on previous versions of the OS

The BlackBerry download site is and always will be slow as hell... I hae when they release upgrades because their site sucks..

[zerog46]

I just finished the download. I would be so happy for a memory fix.

[zerog46]

All loaded up haven't noticed anything right away.

i just checked on my other 8130 and the led does not flash when recording..... the new os it does

[Redflea]

Mine flashed when recording video on previous versions...

[Redflea]

Woe is me...installed the new OS, renamed selected COD files as I have w/previous OS installs to remove unnecessary items, started upgrade, and at the last step before data is restored, I have a white screen with:

App Error 23
Reset

on it.

:(

I pressed the trackball and the red light came on and it tried to restart again (hour glass)...and the same App Error 523 Reset message appeared again.

On the lighter side, the error message is in such small font that I had to get a magnifying glass to read it...

Oh well, full backup available on the PC, off to wipe and reload land.

[zerog46]

Strange I deleted all the themes, media, languages and VAD files and did not have any problems.

[Redflea]

The only things that were out of my ordinary process were:

- Empower was listed as a Downgrade in the list of apps, so I unselected it
- I had renamed two cods w/"fasteuropean" in their names...I named them back for the reload (completing now).

Hourglass...hourglass...hourglass...waiting...

App error 523.

Methinks operator error in the cod-ing.

Time to go see what I f'd up.

[Redflea]

Oops...I had accidentally renamed net_rim_platform_resource__en.cod. I guess that must be important.

[Redflea]

Yup. That appears to have been it. Another wipe/reload later and restoring my call logs, etc., from my very recent backup, and then will be restoring data via USB sync, and reloading apps.

Fun way to spend an otherwise calm evening.

redflea: Notice anything different yet with this new OS?!

[Redflea]

Nothing yet...but after my late-night screw-up, I haven't really spent any time doing anything other than reloading everything.

One small thing - likely all in my mind, but the special characters menu (accessed from the */SYM key when in a field) looks different - like it's displayed smaller and tighter on screen.

Likely just something different in my settings for the display font that I haven't noticed...

[tkorpi]

I just noticed something nice...I played a video and it didn't stutter at the 30s mark.

[Redflea]

Ooooooooo!!

What site - m.vtap.com, or ?

Well...I tried:

m.vtap.com - works perfectly, no more pause/skip every 30s
youtube mobile - works perfectly, no more pause/skip every 30s
blueapple - same problem I've had before...I get audio but no video :(

I've noticed the font I use looks slightly different. I don't know if it's me or if it's actually changed. Anyone else see a difference with your font?
