Like he said, this CANNOT be used on a Blackberry 8100. It can only be used on a Blackberry 8130.

I just notice that Sprint came out with this same update, 4.3.0.203/4.3.0.127. Would this be any different than the release by Ntelos, or did it just take Sprint a few weeks longer to test and release the same thing?

These versions are released by Blackberry, correct? So if something was different it would have a different number?

Thanks.

Again, you CAN load this to your 8130. it's just not released by your carrier Alltel.

Probably would help if I read the forums more carefully. Sorry.

I installed the Sprint released O/S a few days ago and it worked like a charm!

Either one will work, but if you use the Sprint release, you don't need to delete the vendor.xml file.

Good luck!

Wasn't there supposed to be a way to keep the backlight on while charging with the new os?

I am excited. First time I did an upgrade of an OS and thanks to you, it was "smooth and painless". The Google maps froze and once I deleted it and re-installed it, it works fine. Significantely more free memory.
Thanks again.

Quite a bit more memory here. The whole phone seems to run a little smoother. Haven't tested the memory leak yet, but will report back. Thanks John for the walk through.

Has anyone installed this on an 8130 from Verizon and ran into any issues? Just want to make sure before I try it.

[JSanders]

Yes, many users have, and it works fine.

See my previous post (post #17)

That's the issue I had, don't know if it is a bug in the OS or just specific to my phone since nobody ever replied to my post. I did revert back to v4.3.0.97 though since I have had no real issues with that OS.

Tried uninstalling/reinstalling brickbreaker, didn't help. Then tried wiping and reinstalling firmware (extreme I know, but I like this game). Still didn't work. I then decided to revert back to 4.3.0.97 and the sound problem was gone.

Other than this I did not see any other differences. So I guess I will be sticking with 4.3.0.97 for a while longer. Got to have sound with my brickbreaker!

p.s. First post by the way, although I have been a reader for a while. Lots of great information here.

You mean the sound starts but doesn't finish? I noticed that and sometimes there was no sound at all. Seems like a bug to me. Anyone else?

I still have the old 4.3.0.60 firmware. I'm ready to upgrade. The catch is I'm hooked up with my company's BES. Would I have to re-register with my corporate blackberry server (meaning contact our HelpDesk)? Not a big deal but with the backup > firmware upgrade > restore does it lose BES settings?

Please advise.

I just upgraded my self (Sprint) all went well.

I wasn't aware of this update until I saw this thread. Kudos.

Something I noticed with this new OS from Sprint, I lost the option to delete messages on the inbox from the device. Before I had a choice to delete just in the device or the inbox (eg: Yahoo mail, Google etc.) or both. Now just the device. Any thoughts or suggestions?

[Frisco]

Well, I don't get it.

I went to the link for the download, downloaded it, installed it (I guess), and I see no difference anywhere in the phone. In "about" in the options area it lists the same 4.3.0.81 version 3.8.5.11b as before, etc.

Maybe I don't know how to install on the Pearl?

What I did:

- attached the phone to my computer with the cable.

- downloaded the file

- clicked install

- started destop manager

- clicked update

nothing... ??

You didn't follow the directions in correct order.

Now UNattach the BB from the USB cable.

Close Desktop Manager.

Get a drink of water.

Reattach to the USB.

Open Desktop Manager, and you should get a prompt to upgrade.

Re-read the directions posted above if you have questions.

This should now be an options under Messages>Message Options>Email Reconsciliation. It gives you the choice of Handheld, Both, or Prompt, for each of your email accounts.

Dang it, I was hoping to get back in here and erase.. er, edit my post before anyone saw it.

The big thing I didn't do right was delete the file pointed out in the first post in this thread, that left my old software in. *blush* .. etc..

All is well now.. works great with the new software.

Thanx for reading and responding to my post.

Can someone answer my question about re-registering with a corporate BES server upon upgrading of firmware. Would I have to do that?

Thanks!
