Instructions for installing on ANY carrier's 8120:

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."
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 white screen with an hourglass 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.

downloading now....will install and check how it runs

Running now, seems to be very quick and stable...

[v1nn13]

i haven't had any random reboots or any isolated crazy problem - finally something a little more stable!

[Jiggs5]

My upgrade went without any issues. Following the upgrade, I am experiencing a large number of failed calls. Some of the failed calls have occurred during the UMA to cell handoff others are just UMA failures during the call.

Recovery has not always been uneventful. On one of the failures the device switched over to the cell network then back to UMA but I counld not receive or make calls until I turned off the connections then restored the connections.

Make sure you select "Blackberry Pearl (TM) 8120 smartphone" rather than "Blackberry 8120" because the latter seems to be an older version

It wasn't there initially, but a battery pull solved that.

Oh wow, can't belive that tripped me up.

My bad!

[yourdaddy]

Does this have the limitation that prevents the use of the * or # keys from the main menu like .81 and .93? That was the reason I went back to .69.

[yourdaddy]

Answered my own question. Yep, still has that same issue when attempting to dial a number that starts with a * or # from the home screen.

I wonder why the lastest beta versions do this?

I just upgrade my bberry but when i stard the browser, it states that i need a wifi connection even though i have an unlimited data plan.
