Good evening simon, can I suggest you have a look in the forums,

A lot of the OS posts have instructions in the 1st couple of posts that will help you out.

Thanks

So having looked around I found this guide...

How to Install or Upgrade to a New RIM BlackBerry Operating System (OS) | CrackBerry.com

Unfortunately I cannot seem to get this method to work. I install the handset software (that goes fine) and delete the vendor file in the common apps folder. When I then select 'update software' in the desktop manager, it tells me there are no new software versions for my device. Just to clarify, my device options tells me I am running v7.1.0.342 so it definitely isn't up to date with the version from this thread.

Using the 'loader' in he common apps folder, allows me to install some apps but doesnt see the new software itself! Does the software definitely extract to this location?

Ok, I understand.

It sounds like you have the 2nd vendor.xml file.

There is a small program avalable that will search and remove both the files or just do a search for vendor.xml again on the forum. I can remember where the 2nd one is off the top of my head.

Got it. Seems to have worked... update installing now. Thanks!

**ifraser** · 08-18-2012, 02:09 PM

Good to hear, no problems. That's the good thing about the forums.

This problem seems to have gone now.

Think the battery pulls did it.

I have this rom after a clean install and it seems to be running very smooth. No issues as of yet

**Phill_UK** · 08-19-2012, 12:09 AM

This one, 7.1.0.569. The thread title obviously says so, in case you haven't noticed.

In a previous build, different emails from the same person would group together, in this build it does not. I was getting used to that feature, kept everything nice and neat.

Yes, Phill meant this version... it´s very stable a has been around for a number of weeks. Check the first few posts of this thread for detailed instructions on how to do this.

I have AT&T, installed this, and now my phone, doesn't work very well as a phone. I can hear them, but no one can hear me. HELP! I love the battery life, all the other improvements, but i can't have a phone conversation! Any advice?

**Phill_UK** · 08-25-2012, 12:14 PM

Yup... downgrade to .391 or .437 which were the latest OS7.1 versions that did not affect AT&T users.

.391 was solid for me when I used it.

**Dragondima** · 08-25-2012, 02:57 PM

installed 391, seems to be running fine, phone calls work fine now.

**Rootbrian** · 08-25-2012, 03:54 PM

If AT&T is giving you issues and updating renders your blackberry a voiceless data only device, best to move over to t-mobile. Just thought I'd let you know. Maybe AT&T users should lodge complaints to get them to fix that issue on their network. So far, AT&T is the only one doing this, or having this issue.

**eds817** · 08-27-2012, 12:58 PM

First let me say I'm sorry if these issues have been addressed here. I did a search but didn't find what I was looking for.

Issue #1: From time to time when I hit the end call button it looks like the call is ended but I still here the person I was speaking with.

Issue #2: The handover from WiFi to 4G or vice versa does not always work.

The only way for me to fix these problems is to pull the battery.

TIA
