You don't have to. I wrote this to be the optimum way to upgrade, with the least chance for failure.

There is no video capability on the 8100.

You would need to run a windows virtual environment or parallel to use the programs necessary in this guide, on a Mac. Borrowing some time on a friends Microsoft PC would probably be easier. There is PocketMac, but its capabilities are limited. Here's a good article describing its limitations:
RIM BlackBerry Desktop Manager v. PocketMac: Macs and BlackBerrys, Part I - CIO.com - Business Technology Leadership
Sorry, I'm on WAP right now, so the link is mobile. If you can't get it to work, google PocketMac.

Talking Is this the right OS?
"Software For BlackBerry® Pearl (TM) 8100 smartphone
BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.5.0.174 (EastAsia)
Package Version: 4.5.0.174
Consisting of:
* Applications: 4.5.0.124
* Software Platform: 2.7.0.92
* File name: 8100EastAsia_PBr4.5.0_rel174_PL2.7.0.92_A4.5.0.124 _Indosat.exe
* File size: 89.15MB
Note: The Software Platform and Applications version numbers can be found under Options-About screen on the handheld."



It says east Asia? I don't want to download it and its not the right one.
I'm a newbie. lol

Hey Bigbadwolf
Here's a valid question or two:

1)Is there a reason to download that specific OS that you've linked to instead of-say the official OS of one's carrier? Example: I've also downloaded the latest OS from blackberry's site but it's specific to my carrier which is Rogers wireless. The link you've posted directs to indosat OS download. Does this have more goodies and apps or something?

2) If I decide to upgrade to MY carrier's specific OS, do I still have to delete the vendor.xml file?

Thank You for your time Cheers!

1. Your more than welcome to download any OS of your choosing. I recommend the one on the link because it's the most stable 4.5 OS so far. It contains no significant additional features from any other 4.5 OS, but memory stability is the #1 issue people have.

2. Deleting the vendor.xml file is only necessary when the OS is not from your carrier.

Completely unrelated, I love the "cheers". UK accents are the cat's meow!
