Delete the vendor.xml file located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader

then plug in the BB again and run DM.

Thank you kindly. I'm not home so I can't try it. I will later though. Thanks again.

Cheers!!

Anyone having problems getting their BES-based browser icon or service book to their handheld? I'm on BES with TMo and uprade to 4.2. this appears to be the only thing not working, although I had to wipe the device because my enterprise activation got a IT Policy Rejected error. So much for the auto install/restore.

One positive finding with 4.2 on the 8700G is that myself and 2 friends who also installed it yesterday were consistently having random and strange problems with the bluetooth integration with systems built into our cars and how they worked with the 8700. (2 of us have Land Rovers the other a BMW.) With this upgrade all problems with the bluetooth telephone integration have seemed to disappear and even some new or now usable functionality has popped up.... (Certain numbers appearing on different screens in the car where before it used to just be a "1", quicker response to start/end call from steering wheel buttons, less crackling during certain parts of the call [ring, loud talkers], etc.)

anyone know why this is happening...

I have no idea why but I cannot seem to get this installed. When I use the application Loader it never shows the 4.2.1. It only shows the 4.1.1., so uninstalled the 4.1.1 and now it doesnt show any to install. Anyone have this similar problem?

Installed Desktop Manager 4.2.whatever (newest one from the Rogers site) and installed it, then installed the 4.2 OS and put it on the Blackberry. The upgrade went fine and everything is on the device like before, only thing I had to do is rehide some icons because it changed to the Vodaphone Today theme. Profile settings stayed the same, all OTA programs stayed the same as well. Didn't have to resend any service books from my BIS accounts. Reconnected to the BES no problems as well. I like it so far, seems to work pretty well IMO.

As stated on previous posts you need to delete vendor.xml file or rename the file (i.e. vendor.xml.old).

This error usually appears when installing a MSI based setup, and you have your 'My Documents' redirected to an unavailable network drive. Open a 'command prompt' and type 'net use'. Check to see if the U: drive is OK (and not 'disconnected'). Or set the 'My Documents' folder back to the default location.

Maybe I am missing something, are people talking about the main screen when it's locked? I just start typing my password and it works, or hit the enter key to bring up the password box.

These are the things I've found after 12 hours of playing with the new OS

I don't think this has anything to do with the upgrade, my Yahoo did this on the 4.1 OS as well.

There are only the 4 vendor themes I listed on one of the first pages here included. Instructions to do it yourself have been posted in this thread.

My lock/unlock works exactly as it did before. I take it you do not have a password on your BB. I password protect everything.

The file size on the device memory is limited to 2.something MB.
So a full length song would only work of it is encoded in a lower bit rate...

Ready to try this on my 8703e (Verizon). Has anyone tried it on this carrier/model?

It will not work with your 8703e since this is an update for the 8700 only. Sorry that you cannot update, but you are going to have to wait.
