Here's my updated OS install guide if anyone needs a refresher...

ELITE1's OS UPGRADE GUIDE

1. (Optional) Uninstall any previous OS from PC.
2. Download OS to PC. Use Internet Explorer, not Firefox or Chrome. (For leaked versions, browser is irrelevant.)
   *If 100% certain you've previously used FF or Chrome on same PC to DL an OS successfully, feel free to use FF or Chrome again.
3. Following successful DL, run OS file to install OS on PC.
4. On BB, go to BBM Options, scroll down to Backup section. Ensure Remote Backup is enabled AND also conduct a Local Backup to media card.
5. Go through any 3rd party apps with option to save settings to media card. Conduct Backup to media card within each of these apps. (Examples: Bellshare apps like BerryBuzz & BerryWeather; QuickLaunch; Shao's apps like Wallpaper Changer & SixTools; etc).
6. Connect BB to PC. Open DM and backup device. Close DM.
7. (Optional) Use desktop app like BBSAK or BBMCP to backup 3rd party apps.
8. On PC, delete Vendor file located here:
   •64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
   •32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
9. (Optional/Recommended) Run BB Boss v2.2 or BBH Tool (formerly Shrink-A-OS).
10. In same AppLoader file where you deleted Vendor, double-click Loader to load OS to BB. Follow onscreen instructions.
11. After loading OS, perform several physical battery pulls over first 1-2 days for OS to "settle in." Perform first batt pull very soon after OS is loaded.

TROUBLESHOOTING
How to Fix OS not Appearing as Available
There are 2 common reasons:

A. HIDDEN VENDOR FILE
Consider trying this new desktop app to remove Vendor from several common locations:
Vendor XML Remover V1.0

If manually deleting Vendor, always hold down SHIFT and press DELETE to permanently delete.
Check here first:
•64-bit: Computer\C:\Users\{USER NAME}\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
•32-bit: Computer\C:\Documents and Settings\{USER NAME}\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
If Loader still doesn't make new OS available, search PC for "Vendor".

If Vendor is not found anywhere, see below to delete contents of AppLoader folder. (Folder where you found Loader & Vendor.)

B. APPLOADER FOLDER ITEMS

1. Uninstall the OS: Control Panel\Programs and Features, highlight this BlackBerry Device Software, click Uninstall at top.
2. Delete AppLoader folder contents: Highlight any item, CTRL+A to select all, SHIFT+DELETE to permanently delete.
   •64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
   •32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
3. Restart PC.
4. Re-install OS on PC: Go to your browser's downloads section, double-click OS to start InstallShield Wizard.
5. Delete Vendor: Return to AppLoader folder, highlight Vendor, SHIFT+DELETE.
6. Load OS to BB: Attach BB to PC, double-click Loader (in AppLoader folder, where you deleted Vendor).

PS I've posted this before in other threads, but there always seems to be some people that appreciate a step-by-step each time.

Just installed it.

All good untill now, my phone feels snappier, battery pull reset is WAY faster. It also corrected some scrolling issues I had on the photos app.

That's all until now... let's see how it works on the coming days

Also noticed that BB Bridge with the Playbook is somewhat faster and more stable.

My BB also had a pretty serious battery drain that suddenly stopped with this update

Pretty good until now!!!

just making sure... does this have english included? and would it use that as default or would it use korean? first time loading an Asia release. I have only used english and multi-language before.

[aburridoz]

I installed the multilanguage release, I use it in spanish but surely it also has english included.

I've been using it for 24+ hours without charging it on 2G and it still has 30% battery


EXCELLENT update, before this i could not get it to work for more than 9 hours on a single charge.

Definetely recommended

Every language pack version of any OS build will always include English.

I'm on T-Mobile in the U.S. with a Wind Mobile (Canada) version of the Pearl 3G. Ever since installing this release, I get data service not available errors, even though the device shows a full 3G connection. Disconnecting and reconnecting to the mobile network solves the problem, but then it comes up again. It also shows a triangle indicator (i.e. roaming) when I'm not roaming. Hoping for a better release or will have to downgrade. If anyone has seen this behavior before and knows of a fix, please let me know!
