I think a better qeustion is does it work? Unless it has changed, some get links from sources and "cannot" provide the "how" or the "who". Been there. That's how it works.

Yeah right

Rapidshare is now working for all users. Much better than the FileFactory link.

File count is now 242mb, verses the original 197mb.

Downloaded, running, got past where it went corrupt last time! Good job on the links. I used rapidshare!

You flashed it?

**joshiyama** · 02-14-2012, 02:22 PM

RapidShare link worked for me also. Installs on PC OK.

**zipped** · 02-14-2012, 02:28 PM

205 was 252Mb so this is a tiny bit smaller. Going through and removing cods right now. I am new to the 9810 so won't be of much help though in telling the difference. Just sent my 9900 back. Curious if this has the battery save mode like the one they showed at Devcon - on .258

**Mecca EL** · 02-14-2012, 02:32 PM

Uh oh!!! Mines stopped dl'ing

Anyone feel like providing a more useful link?

**rroyy** · 02-14-2012, 02:33 PM

Links are fixed.

**Mecca EL** · 02-14-2012, 02:42 PM

Thanks rroyy, and thanks for the leak

**xXBLACKBERRYXx5** · 02-14-2012, 02:51 PM

for the at&t torches.... are u able to switch from 4g/3g/2g to 2g manually on this version finally?

**cntrydncr223** · 02-14-2012, 02:53 PM

Thanks so much for the leak and links...

Will let you know in a minute

**zipped** · 02-14-2012, 03:04 PM

Wow, battery save mode is on this leak just like the one shown at DevCon. For mode switching you have two choices 2G then 3/4G &2G. This is what is showing on my phone but I am on T-Mobile.

Nope! Same thing just says AT&T no Option to change to 2G

My Mobile Hot Spot Finally works on AT&T and Battery save mode is in this release.

sigh. wonder when, or if, they will put a leaked version that lets u change that on att. lol

**ridemaster** · 02-14-2012, 03:26 PM

i'm super stoked that the 9810 has this update, means it shouldn't be long before the 9900 is also as lucky.

enjoy the continuum of leaks

Do you have a tether plan?

Yes I have had a tether plan all along but for some reason the previous 7.1 release Hot Spot would not work for me.

**mr_chaela** · 02-14-2012, 03:39 PM

Just tried to install this and still getting the dreaded 'you need a BB subscription to install' error.
I DO have a subscription and can install official updates but not leaks.

I searched on google and found a workaround (albeit for earlier ) OS's:-
Install BBSAK
Wipe OS (optional)
Install new OS with BBSAK
Restore user data with DM

Will this work for me (don't want to end up with a brick) and is the wipe necessary?

I have a previous cod net_rim_api_wlan_hotspot.cod which I took out of one of the 9900 earlier leaks (not my idea, can't remember who suggested) so I extracted and saved. Works to get around this. Working on this build.
