Instructions to Load this OS onto any carriers 9000:
1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
This process takes anywhere from 2--45 minutes. DO NOT UNPLUG the device until the loading operation is finished.If for some reason you get a white screen with a '507' Error or another error please see this guide on How-To Recover a Bricked Berry
There is no difference between a beta and the Official Release except the Vendor.xml file on a beta is empty versus full on the carrier release. Other than that they are the exact same.
I just did the upgrade.. Everything took about 20 minutes from start to finish, and so far it works well. Free memory was at 50.8mb after the first batt pull, which is up from about 40 on .247.
If I am having problem with my phone rebooting while making a call under .247 should I upgrade to .266? And if I upgrade is it possable to downgrade to something else if .266 isn't any better?
Not using Vista and I for sure don't have a file called "vendor" anything. But I have that other one with the same extension.
I have a faint memory of this being the case with .216, but maybe not.
I could dl again. It seemed a complete dl though.

Yeah maybe you want to. The Vendor.xml file is always included in the software, as it tells the DM which carriers OS to install to your device. Go to the Control Panel and remove all BlackBerry device software, then download and install .266 again.
That seems like a very "general" statement... does he mean that in this case there is no difference or in any situation there is no difference.. I kinda doubt that.. hmmm
I'll think about it.. I need it for work so am none to excited about bricking or otherwise breaking the device.
