Hey alll...
The upgrade to 108 went smoothly, except its not picking up the EDGE/ GPRS network - have phone coverage, but no Data. If i downgrade, eveything works fine...
Any suggestions?

it looks like i have v 4.2.1.96

is there a need to upgrade ?

You must be on AT&T. 4.2.1.96 is really stable, but if you use your phone as an MP3 Player like I do, then upgrading will solve several problems there. If you find you must pull the battery often to get E-mails and such, verison 4.2.1.108 also gets a handle on that.

If you use your 8100 for Phone and texting, hen I don't think you will see a benefit unless you want 11 themes and the knowlege of knowing your phone will have newer stuff than anyone you know.

What year Supra ya got?

ok cool. yeah i play a lot of music from it. i guess i'll give this a shot.

i bought the Aero theme ,and wondering if it gets saved when i do my backup.. anyone know?

also. i clicked the link for the download,and i don't see "4.2.1.179" . i see 4.2.1.13. ,4.3,4.0,and 4.2.2

the car is a 91. currently under the knife with hopes of 500whp

After you click the link, you must select Pearl 8100, then use the first download link.

The backup during the upgrade will preserve the Theme. Just make sure you delete the vendor.xml file or you won't be able to upgrade.

Man those '91s stock were harsh for me back in the day. I owned a 1989 Nissan 300ZX Turbo that was crazy fast at the time with a 205HP, 3.0 liter, 12-valve SOHC V-6. When Toyota released the updated Supra (ie. yours) I believed it had either a 3.2 or 3.4 liter 24-valve DOHC V-6 and an Intercooled Turbo pushing 232HP. Whew, then in 1991, Nissan gave me my next gift and I bet you know what that was......now I drive a 3/4 ton crew cab pickup that weights 7,000 pounds. Nice ride man!!!!

supras have always been inline 6's. those z31's were neat cars. friend of mine had one. ran 14.0 with just a boost controller on it.

thanks for the help and comments!

Hi,

I install the new version of Desktop Manager and downloaded the new OS but when I launch desktop manager and plug the phone I don't get any msg to update or upgrade any clues what to do now.

Thanks

[JSanders]

Did you install the the OS to your PC, i.e., double-clicking on the exe file and allowing it to install?

[jdelgado89]

Never mind, I found my problem, it looks like the OS installs again the Vendor.XML. I deleted it and I am in the process of upgrading. Thanks a lot guys for your help and support.

I was on the process of upgrading my phone and I got a error restoring the data and my phone boot up to a white screen with a title Blackberry Platform 2.3.0.85 I have a list of options like:

SavedMessages
Options
AddressBook
Compose
....

but when I click in any of the options I get an error starting net_rim_bb_options_app ...

My desktop manager cannot connect to the phone so I can try again, I remove the batter and starting again but nothing. I any ideas how I can connect again.

Thanks

I wipe the phone using the JAVA Loader I have done it 3 times but no luck on upgrading my phone. I am in the process of trying the Rogers new version to see what happen.

Same problem during the last step of upgrading while it is installing all the applications *.COD and get an error and it cannot install. Any ideas ?

[John Clark]

I would try uninstalling and reinstalling your Desktop Manager. I don't think the device software is the problem.

[jdelgado89]

John,

Any ideas I reinstalled Desktop Manager, I donwloaded the official OS for AT&T and I get the same problem when is loading the COD.
