Probably just a catch all version for the update as a whole.

Indeed... now I'm just waiting for the "Since Vodafone and Verizon are partners, does this mean .141 is coming for Verizon too?" posts.

You don't have to do anything, but I would certainly recommend it.

**johnny_b_ylt** · 05-06-2009, 04:52 PM

I certainly wont be upgrading to that bag of pants, there has been alot of problem already

**gozirra** · 05-06-2009, 05:03 PM

Looks official - took a chance and checked VZW, of course they're still on .75

**Kamika007z** · 05-06-2009, 05:39 PM

Does this build for the 9500 have the same screen lock bug as the 9530 leaked version does?

**lyoko37** · 05-06-2009, 05:42 PM

Get ready for QuickLaunch not to work

**Mattrey** · 05-06-2009, 06:05 PM

downloading now will report back soon guys

**tim.schwantes** · 05-06-2009, 06:16 PM

@lyoko37:
Have u tested quicklaunch with this release yet?

Does this version differ from the 141Beta?

**Jacobson** · 05-06-2009, 06:23 PM

Does it still unlock with all hardkeys????

**kainharkins** · 05-06-2009, 06:23 PM

Has anyone had any problems actually opening the file once downloaded as I keep getting error messages and it won't initialise and load onto my computer. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

It keeps on saying "failure to read setup initialization file". when I go to launch the setup launcher file.

**CheetahAce** · 05-06-2009, 06:35 PM

Can someone post here after they load the UK 141 and let me know if QuickLaunch works or not? If it doesn't I'll have to deal with it immediately.
thanks.

**harrymackarness** · 05-06-2009, 06:41 PM

ummm guys i hate to break it but according the vodafone forum (forum.vodafone.co.uk) this isnt actually official... it seems that voda have ballsed up and someone released one to RIM 'for Vodafone' without telling them...

massive screaming matches going on on their forums as people who upgraded may have now lost their warranties, but the mods are saying that they HAVE now signed off on an official release... but its not coming for a few days yet, and will be coming via a VODAFONE server, with emails/texts to all concerned to let them know.

TYPICAL!
(see signature...)

**kainharkins** · 05-06-2009, 06:45 PM

Now that is just marvellous. Are vodafone working for the Labour government with a balls up like that. Me thinks so.

**CheetahAce** · 05-06-2009, 06:45 PM

Oh. ok. Good. haha.
i was starting to get nervous. I'd rather push on with QL 2.0.
If this become officially official then I'll fix it. That's my statement.

**kriptikchicken** · 05-06-2009, 06:49 PM

Did a file compare and this version is 10megs fatter than the leak of two weeks ago. - There are a number of issues that users are coming across that i have never encountered!

Staying with the leak, VF have a reputation of butchering firmwares.

**normski#cb** · 05-06-2009, 06:52 PM

Quicklaunch dont work on clean uk 4.7.0.141 vodafone install. please help. Flashs for 10 seconds then disappears.

**noaim** · 05-06-2009, 07:06 PM

hopefully this means that verizon's is coming soon?

**cloudroller** · 05-06-2009, 07:17 PM

Will the 9500 OS work on the 9530?

**clickqass** · 05-06-2009, 07:40 PM

Check to see if the file has downloaded completely.
