Hello everyone.

Maybe it's kinda dumb question but I can't upgrade my 8100.
There was one time when I succeeded right after I bought it. And there have been a lot of software releases since that time and I was following the same steps but it doesn't prompt for upgrade.
Here is what I have:

Pearl 8100 with AT&T
Platform Version: 2.3.0.80
Application Version: 4.2.1.101

Trying to load SW 4.3.071 from SPRINT using Desktop Manager 4.3.015

Can anybody help me to understand where is the problem?

Thank you.

Welcome to BB Forums.

Sounds like you are trying to install v4.3 for the 8130 (Sprint) onto an 8100. You can not load 8130 code onto an 8100. You can only load 8100 code onto an 8100.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

This is the latest for the 8100:

Just downloaded the last version from the link above, nothing is going on...

After you download it, double click on it to install it to the PC.

Then go to c:/program files/common files/research in motion/apploader and delete the file "vendor.xml."

then plug in the device and try again.

If you have anymore problems whipe your phone (with jl_cmder) before installing another OS... (instead of upgrading on top of the other one)
