I followed instructions in the forum to wipe out and reinstall OS in my blackberry 8110 (pearl) from Cingular (AT and T). These are the steps I followed:
1. Install JL_Cmder and then wiped out blackberry
2. Blackberry screen now shows 507 (Forums tell me that OS need to be installed)
3. I download the blackberry desktop software and device software from AT and T (Ver 4.3 both). I installed them on my PC.
4. I connected my BB device to the PC and started the Desktop manager. It doesn't show me any updates.
My BB device is pretty much unusable now and I tried downloading higher versions like 4.6 for desktop and 4.5 for the OS but still i am unable to see any updates for the device. I also deleted the vendor.xml file when not using the AT and T files.
This is the error I get
The blackberry desktop software did not find the blackberry device software
...
Sunkast, I checked this part. I think I am downloading the correct version. Now that I have wiped the OS, is there a way to find out what model my blackberry is? If I use JL_Cmder, the hardware id returned is Hardware Id: 0x84000d03. Does this mean 8110?
Weird! Now I am getting another error. It says Email Setup Application cannot be loaded because required files are missing. This is when using Device Software ver 4.3.
Sunkast, I bought it off Craigslist yesterday. The seller mentioned its 8110 and the pictures online resemble the one I have. This one doesnt have wifi which means it should be 8110.
Sunkast, thank you for asking the right question. I found that the model is 8100c and not 8110. After downloading the right device software, it worked.
