I deleted the vendor.xml file.
I don't want or need Blackberry services.
I just need to install this freaking update because my phone bricks every day and I'm hoping this would solve the problem.01-16-12 09:35 PMLike 0 - If your phone bricked every day you'd be getting a new phone every day (brick means that it can't come back to life or connect to DM at all).
What carrier are you on and are you in the US? (I can't see your stats because I'm on the mobile forum site).
Seems like it makes sense that RIM/your carrier isn't letting you update since 7.1 really only adds Mobile Hotspot and some small feautures. (VZW advised it as a 'low' priority update). Good luck, I'm sure there is a way.

Just make sure that you do not have any older leaked or even offical OS loaded to your Windows computers. Downlaod the leaked OS and you can either use the loader in the software OR download manager to load it. Sometimes you do not have to delete the vendor.xml.01-16-12 10:03 PMLike 0
- Bricked, the red light LED flashes, and you use BBSAK to wipe your device and install your OS again.
It's an AT&T Bold 9900, but I unlocked it and I use Simple Mobile. It's possible to fix a brick, just temporary until a software update becomes available. The only thing getting in my way is a freaking BIS subscription?01-16-12 10:06 PMLike 0 - I didn't know there was more than one place to delete the vendor.xml file, there isn't one on my phone
How do I delete an old OS? I never downloaded an older one on my computer, but it has 2 older operating systems available as choices when I go to update, one being a downgrade.01-16-12 10:09 PMLike 0 - Bricked, the red light LED flashes, and you use BBSAK to wipe your device and install your OS again.

I thought a nuked device was the fixable one and a brick was a jvm error/white screen that was unfixable/unrecognizable. I could be wrong though.
I agree that it is odd that you can't get a leaked OS. What should that have to do with BIS if you are using DM? Unless it has something to do with BB ID or something. Or because of adding Mobile Hotspot. Idk.

Once the phone is wiped (to 507 error) you can update using AppLoader without a SIM card inserted.02-21-12 08:28 PMLike 0 - Running .576 trying to install 7.1

It simply wouldn't do it. Said there was noithing in the os folder yet I was looking right at it. Finally got it loaded through dm after unlocking. 267 works great for me02-21-12 08:53 PMLike 0
- Loader.exe positively works, without wiping. I used it myself a few weeks ago. That was OSicks to OSicks, but I'll confirm whether 7.0 to 7.1 works in a couple days and post back.02-21-12 09:21 PMLike 0

SimpleMobile $40 plan on the Bold 9900 here too.
I got the same message but tried again deleting the leaked OS and installing the official update available to me on DM 7.0.548 or something.
Was able to update to 7.1 after running on the DM's official 7.0.
Hope this helps.
Also some tips for SimpleMobile-
I save about $5 on refill cards by purchasing PINs on ebay
Use BB App World on your browser and connect your phone via USB when prompted to in order to download apps from App World.
Been debating on upgrading to SimpleMobile's $50 BB Plan for quite a while now02-21-12 09:58 PMLike 0 -

- Phill_UKCrackBerry WiseguyNo idea, I was answering the OP who has a 9900. No reason why they should be any different though.
The only 2 things DM can pick up on to tell if you have an active BB plan are your service books and your SIM card.
If you wipe your phone, remove your SIM, and use Loader.exe instead, you've eliminated every telling sign.02-21-12 11:30 PMLike 0 - No idea, I was answering the OP who has a 9900. No reason why they should be any different though.
