When upgrading the os, is it always necessary to remove the "vendor.xml" file, or is that upgrade specific?

Thanks.

read the sticky
follow the instructions oh and search too

if it is from your carrier you dont need to if it isnt you need to

It's necessary when installing an OS that was released by a different carrier than the one you're loading the OS to. Removing the vendor.xml file has no impact on what is installed to the BB. It only impacts whether the OS will even install or not.

^^ correct, if your upgrade is from the same carrier to which the device is branded, you won't need to remove the vendor file.

Thanks for the info guys.. I read the sticky's and wasn't sure if it was always needed.
