BlackBerry Device Software Upgrade
- Reed McLayRetired Moderator
At this time, T-Mobile does not support the Automatic Update.
Great thing about the Automatic Update, no worries about the Vendor.xml file. It is there and it does it's job correctly.10-13-08 02:25 PMLike 0 - BlackBerry has a support page that lists the new features and improvements.
BlackBerry - BlackBerry Device Software
As for the strange forwarding, the North American carriers link directly to the BlackBerry Device OS page. I can not speak for the European carriers, but it would be hosted in your native language, somewhere in the EU.
But first I want to know if this Blackberry
is the right one to download for my 8100?
T-Mobile NL redirects me here, and yes a Czech-based website where no login is required.
79MB
Then just follow instructions as posted here on different threads, just plug&play using Desktop Manager?
*still affraid in upgrading OS*
I would be suggesting to moderators one 100% clear thread concerning upgrading, all tips/tricks/how to's in one place. Now I am finding a bit info here and there around the CB forum.10-15-08 05:58 AMLike 0 - Reed McLayRetired ModeratorThe link you provided does take me to the T-Mobile Europe page, but it does require a logon to continue. I can not verify that it actually takes me to the correct device OS page.
If your intension is to upgrade your T-Mobile 8100, I can recomend the link to the latest carrier supported update v4.5.0.81.
The process is not difficult, but is complicated enough to be a concern the first time through.

If your intention is to manually upgrade your T-Mobile 8100, I can recommend the link to the latest carrier supported update v4.5.0.81.

This package is supported by Vodaphone Australia and does include English and East Asian language support. That may not be suitable if you require the European language package.Last edited by Reed McLay; 10-15-08 at 10:51 AM.

- I see that you have VZW posted as a supporting carrier. I tried a few hours ago and the apploader told me I had the latest update (currently running 4.3), and that I could sign up for an email update when a higher version is released. Was this added within the last 2 hours? Also, what version is it? After numerous failed attempts, I'm currently upgrading version .77 posted from the sticky of the Blackberry Cuve 83xx Forum as we speak.
It told me the same exact thing and Im running v4.2.2.180(Platform 2.5.0.36)

If my link didn't work try to click Free Dowload (works oly froma PC) which will take you to the download page for all RIM devices.
Anyway according to this " official" EU downloadportal for T-Mobille-BB users this version is called : 8100M_PBr4[1].5.0_rel92_PL2.7.0.72_A4.5.0.69.exe
Should I give it a try?10-16-08 08:38 AMLike 0 - 10-16-08 10:19 AMLike 0

Yes, go with that one.10-16-08 10:22 AMLike 0 -
- Reed McLayRetired ModeratorLOL, that is a very good sign.
Even better, the one that tells you Successful Upgrade.10-16-08 02:11 PMLike 0 - Thank you and thx to the other moderators.
4.5.069 Tmo Eu approved is installed and perfectly working.
Nearly all 3rd party apps work perfectly! Only ColorPearl is not working.
*Having a glass of Chianti Classico Riserva now to celebrate it*
As for all my previous posts here with questions and doubts if I should upgrade yes or no, I can also now recommend a 4.5 upgrade!
If I did it, anybody can....
Thx again everybody!!!10-16-08 02:32 PMLike 0 - Thanks for that update. That is the typical message when you are already at the currently supported version.
I tried to access Verizon's OS page, but it is asking for a valid email address and will not let me proceed.
I have moved Verizon to Reported, but not confirmed.10-16-08 08:56 PMLike 0 - I see that you have VZW posted as a supporting carrier.

I used the link provided over a week ago and had no issues with it what so ever and Im on VZ.10-16-08 09:41 PMLike 0 - Reed McLayRetired ModeratorVerizon may be limiting something, if some report success and others report failure, It should be considered Amber.10-17-08 09:57 PMLike 0
- Reed McLayRetired ModeratorWait. Hopefully, just a few more days.
Better to give them a little more time to get it fully sorted out.10-19-08 08:23 PMLike 0 - 10-21-08 09:45 AMLike 0
