Installed last night, running well. One thing CrackMem could not remove the vendor.xml file for some reason. Tried three times. Removed it manually and off it went. Not sure what's up there I'll have to get with Pete on that.

I have an 8800 and my wife has a Pearl 8110. I have recently upgraded my BB using files from RIM and DM 4.6. Would I be able to upgrade my wife's using the file above even though all the content on my laptop is aimed at my 8800?? Not sure if having 2 BB will confuse Desktop Manager?
I downloaded it and installed it into DTM, and when I plug in my bb it doesn't recognize the updated software, therefore it wont install onto the blackberry. I know I'm doing it right, I've done it several times before and helped several customers. I wanna know if anyone else has had issues like this, and if there is a way to correct it?
Thanks,
Kenny

After you downloaded and installed to PC, did you delete the vendor.xml file?
You can't use this OS file, since it's for the 8100. You'll have to grab the 8800-specific version.
8100? Look down below, The 8110 software is near the bottom of devices. The 8110 doesn't have the pearl name next to it.

Hope that makes sense?
dollardb, Yes you can use this to upgrade your wife's phone.

Make sure:
1) You download the correct software.
2) Delete vendor.xml file like Garz says
Otherwise DM will act like you never tried to upgrade.
I wish there were a way to put the operating system on without having to manually delete all the stuff. I've tried crackmem, but couldn't get it to work
Is crackmem Pete6's?
After upgrading my AT&T 8110 with 4.5.0.81, every time I open an sms text message the red LED stays on and never clears until rebooting the system. It's a solid red and everything seems to function fine other than that. Any one have any ideas as to why its doing this?
Can you tell me the link to get this OS for a Pearl 8110 through AT&T, I do not really want .81, I have heard that .69 is more stable. Please correct me if I am wrong. .81 will not install on my 8110. I am using DM 4.6 any help out there????
Well the first time I downloaded I picked the wrong one which I thought was 8100. So I could never get it to recognize there was an update. Then I realized that I was trying to install the wrong package. Went back to original post and grabbed the 8110 download, delete the vendor file and it installed fine. Just that weird solid red light when opening a text.
I have used both both .69 and .81
.81 is more stable... I did a battery pull 3x's in a week with .69
I haven't done a battery pull yet with .81
I play a lot of brickbreaker. With .69 the ball was choppy and would be hard to follow. It is much smoother with .81
One problem that I have with .81: I cannot go to -->Options->About to see what version. It just doesn't respond. With .69 it showed up right away. Otherwise I think .81 is better than .69 and smoother. Fast is smooth and smooth is fast.
I have gotten it to work. I had to uninstall and reinstall the DM, and then do a battery pull and plug it in again and it downloaded and works just fine. I also had to take my memory card out. Thanks to everyones help.
