Instructions for loading on ANY carrier's 8800 device:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Desktop Manager installed.
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...93E4F3BB068C22
2. Download the above file to the PC then install it to the PC by running the file you downloaded.
3. Locate the vendor.xml file and delete it. It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Plug in BB and Open Desktop Manager. You should be prompted to upgrade.
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 you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to DM again and run application loader again and it should load the OS to the device.

Note: This release does not include the preloaded wallpapers/custom folder icons. It seems RIM has removed these from the OS.

Has anyone tested this version for bugs?

[John Clark]

Many are running it on other devices....It's a good release.

10/4 thx mr c

[rdrakea]

Did they remove it? Or am I overlooking it?

[x14]

Just checked. It's not there anymore.

[rdrakea]

I think the link is to the wrong carrier. Go to the post for the 8820 software and follow the link; you can grab this version for the 8800 there, too.

[John Clark]

Strange....it was there this morning. Oh well...I linked to Orange Romania and that link is working ATM.

[dyd_dog]

also available from Tim_italy ;)

[John Clark]

Lots of carriers are beginning to release these. We're not going to link all of them as the only important thing is the version number, not the carrier name.

Worked fine. Installed great, no problems to report at the moment. Thanks

[caggie01]

I'm went into "option" prior to installation loading and unchecked all the foreign language options so it would load "English" only. Hopefully it will save some space. What about "Documents to go" will the 8800 support it, if I pay the subscription?

I was just trying to help users giving them another option.
Normally people say "thanks", you're just discouraging a new user like me to post again.
thanks

[John Clark]

I wasn't rude or inconsiderate. it was not intended the way you seem to have taken it.

[caggie01]

I upgraded to this latest version and got an error message, "Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException" any suggestions what it means?

[John Clark]

When did you get the message? Did you install Documents To Go?
