- pcgizmo#IMCrackBerry Ph.D.It's probably just better to wait for the exe, I'm sure it won't be long until Sprint posts it on their download site (later today, over the weekend, early next week). When Sprint made BB6 official for the first time, the exe went up a day or two after the OTA/DM was available.12-16-11 09:30 PMLike 0

Download 9930jAllLang_PBr7.1.0_rel457_PL5.1.0.137_A7.1.0.16 3_Sprint_L.P.exe for free on Filesonic.com12-16-11 11:00 PMLike 0 - Ok first of all, for all you VZW guys, you have to delete the vender.xml file located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader also in C:\Documents and Settings\{USER NAME}\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML. Then click on the Loader icon in that same folder. No need for all that extra editing and hacking junk (at least as far as i know).
Im going to start loading it on my 9930 VZW phone now and will update if i get the error 200 message.
I havnt heard anybody say this in the thread yet. I know its old news, but just a heads up.Last edited by matthewpesonen; 12-16-11 at 11:24 PM.
12-16-11 11:07 PMLike 2 - Just installed on my Verizon 9930, upgraded from .374. I just deleted the vendor.xml files as instructed...
Entire process took about 20 minutes to install and reboot up. Mobile HotSpot requires a subscript on Verizon, and knowing them it's going to cost a bajilion dollars. No problems here. I don't use my BB for apps, so everything is pretty much just stock OS apps and everything is running fine.
Things seem to be a bit snappier, but that could just be from a fresh install/reboot and have nothing to do with the upgrade to 7.1 itself...
Are there any other updates that came with 7.1 other than mobile hotspot?12-17-11 02:48 AMLike 0 - pcgizmo#IMCrackBerry Ph.D.I wasn't happy about losing BBM beta either. I'm sure RIM will fix soon that now that 7.1 has gone official.12-17-11 07:10 AMLike 0
- Successfully updated to 7.1 this morning. Super-quick charging to 99+. Once unplugged, after about 30 minutes at 99+, Meterberry drops immediately to 92 without incremental decreases.
Network Selection Mode/Technology: Home Only(Sprint)/1XEV
Backlight Brightness: 10
Location Services: off
Social feeds: 1hr updates
Bluetooth: off
Update: When charging, Meterberry jumped from 92 to 99+. Wth? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: also did 4 battery pulls after successful installation of 7.1

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com12-17-11 07:52 AMLike 0 - Installed on my VZW 9930 and it's working fine! All around? It's a lot more responsive, however desktop manager gave me some trouble when it came to restoring...it usually does give me trouble anyway so I would suggest using AppLoader to do the upgrade.
Can't comment on battery life, but I've always received great battery life on the prev OS...however, I was on a 3 minute phone call and it dropped one bar...wifi, 3G etc was on...but it was concerning.
I don't usually make calls, almost everything is text based now! Maybe it's a trend I never picked up on.
Btw, does anyone know the Hotspot setting for Digicel Barbados?12-17-11 08:28 AMLike 0 - 12-17-11 11:24 AMLike 0

Same here! Got error message 157 or something when restoring.. Just did what it said tho, unplugged phone, replugged it back in and it continued its process.. No problems here at all, except for that which isn't like a problem anymore.12-17-11 02:59 PMLike 0 - Question from anyone on Verizon that's upgraded - I pay the $20 extra a month for tether with Verizon. Has anyone who upgraded with Verizon got their mobile hotspot to work because they are paying for the tether already? Is this functionality available?
Thanks,
