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

ELITE1's OS UPGRADE GUIDE
(updated 2012-09-01)

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 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 BBH Tool (formerly Shrink-A-OS) or BB Boss v2.2 (not as updated as BBHT).
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:
http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...-files-709738/

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.

Well, you should give it a try tho due to the 'just now' this OS has been spotted and released, here by me find your findings and share?

[RoseBud68]

Plug in your phone to the Blackberry desk top manager & see for your self.

Hmm...not showing up as available for my 9810 through AT&T yet.

[dwalkerw]

After months of waiting for 7.1 for my 9810, I finally got the nerve to upgrade last night. Of course, I had the mic issue. Lucky for me, AT&T released their version this morning. I am hoping for NFC with AT&T. I will post what I find once I'm updated.

I would like some input on the Os by some one who has already updated to see how they are liking it before I upgrade. Is that a problem?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you phone is not equipped with NFC.

how would you get nfc with a 9810? 9810 doesn't have nfc.

OK,OK no need to get up tight. Be patient as the OS was just released, so It will be a while.

The phone did not come with the hardware need to run NFC. Only a few phone came equipped with it & the 9810 is not one of them.

the 9810 does not have an NFC radio, so you'll never see NFC on the 9810. Design by RIM on the 9810 was finalized before they decided to include NFC radios in their phones. So the 9900 and the 9790 have NFC radios, but the 9810 does not.

BB10 phones will of course all have an NFC radio.

I am not uptight - just wanting some input and I am being patient I don't recall asking for it as if I expected it right away

[sjsplaty]

One thing is for sure....if you want free hotspot, this version isn't going to have it!

[TTBGF]

Really hope that dead mic issue is finally addressed for the AT&T folks, such a widespread problem that they have virtually ignored for so long.

Downloading and installing now. the dead mic is the first thing I'm going to be testing once the phone is up and running. Will report back soon.

[nickdaman]

Sweet and the network selection mode I'm interested to see if even a AT&T official release will still not have that feature.
