Thanks for your help.

You can update to the latest and greatest from any network....so far.

Follow the instructions in an earlier post on this page.

Be very careful when putting Cingular branded firmware on your phone. I had a very bad experience.

Rogers user. Just updated my Pearl. Took like 45 minutes. I think this is normal, not sure though. Everything is working fine now. Not really sure what it fixed though.

Just thought I would let everyone know that all is ok with the update.

Will wait and see about moving to the cingular version. Hopefully someone will do a comparison if possible to explain the difference between the two.

I have a TMOBILE Pearl... can I download that software or should I stick to the software updates tmobile provides? I seem to be having a lot of problems with my phone!

You can download the Rogers OS if you want. You can even load the latest Cingular OS and you'll be fine. You will have to remove the vendor.xml file but other than that upgrading the OS is very simple to do.

I've just downloaded the latest Cingular OS. Doesn't seem to be any difference to my handset, should there be?

[djole1986]

I downloaded the new file for my rogers BB 8100, on my desktop. I ran the installation on the end of the installation it asked me to run the desktop manager and i checked the box, and press done, the desktop manger opened but nothing happened then i went to the common file folder and i saw that there a RIM files. Then i went back in the desktop manager and i ran the application loader but then the loader only reads what is in the phone, there is no update or anything, and it says that i should contact rogers for the update.....is it possible that i cant do that, i know that my phone is locked to rogers meaning that I cant use other service providers, other SIM cards. So any help would be appreciated! Thanx!

LOL thats not right SanFran, your gonna scare someone. I really wish we didnt have to go through this everytime a new OS is released. Oh well. Good luck updating all.

I was just wondering... I just use PocketMac to update my phone's calendar. I have no use for a destop OS. So will I need any of these updates for memory leaks???

[Rebel XT]

I'm on the Rogers network ... and reading on here, it seems that upgrading using the Cingular software would not be an issue.

Are there ANY changes at all though? Will my pearl have the words cingular anywhere on the screen on in its "about" screen?

I'm just weary to upgrade the phone using another vendor's OS!

Also, does it matter which Desktop manager i initially installed? My phone is connected through BES for my work email, but i installed the "internet" version of the desktop manager.

Thanks everyone!
