Instructions to install, regardless of carrier.
1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Vista/Win7 users: In the apploader folder, simply click on "Compatibility files" to see the actual Vendor.xml file. Once you've got that - simply delete the vendor.xml file there (even if you've deleted or think you've deleted it in the folder previously).
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a screen with an hourglass or status bar for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.

Never mind...(I found the answer I was looking for)

[moorken]

any info on when the official is going to be released? i'm desperately checking every week, i'm really waiting to use my blackberry as a 3G wifi access point, at the moment i'm still messing around with an USB cable and blackberry desktop manager.... wifi access points will really be THE function of 7.1

[NJBlackBerry]

This is official, even if it wasn't released by your carrier...

Is the new wifi access point available in the 7.1 update for the 9360 too?

[ZombieBerry]

Sure is. On all 7.1 OS builds. You should already have access to it, looking at your device version.

[BCCaper]

Yes I have it on my Bold. There are just a few co-workers I have with the 9360 so I was just curious if it was compatible with that device as well. Thanks for the info.
