This is application version .66 not .90

Instructions for installing on ANY carrier's 8130:

1. Make sure you have Desktop Manager 4.2 SP2 or higher installed.

2. Then Download the above mentioned OS file to the PC and 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.

Thanks for the heads up!

[JSanders]

Very nice... initial post updated and stickied!

I hope we haven't lost all of the previous posts for the 8130 os; they had a lot of good information in them.

[John Clark]

At the bottom of the first post in this thread is a link to the thread for the last OS. They are all daisy chained together this way..

When I go to Options/Advanced Options, there is a "Wireless Upgrade" option. Will this do the same thing for future OS?

[JSanders]

Flash, that option has been disappearing for most after a short while, when service books are sent or at some point.

But supposedly, a wireless upgrade option is coming.

[John Clark]

I still have the option.

[at.rex]

Thanks John, I apparently missed that link.

[Redflea]

OK...what's the trick again to avoid Docs 2 Go getting downgraded if I install this over .56?

There is a trick, right? I hope so...

[John Clark]

Delete the DocumentsToGo.alx file

[Redflea]

Thanks...that's it, you have to delete it each time you install a new OS, right?

[John Clark]

Yes.

[tbhuang2]

I've been running this version ever since it was a beta almost a month ago. As long as it's the same version number but released by different carriers, are they still identical?

[John Clark]

Yes.

[Redflea]

Well...if color folders were gone in .56 (and I thought I heard that) they are back in .66. Maybe they were there all along...didn't try it in .56.

[John Clark]

No, the colored folders aren't in .56.

[Redflea]

Time to celebrate, then. Woo-hoo. Colored folders!

But...for me the email grahics still don't download consistently. Boo-hoo.

[John Clark]

They don't for anyone. Sometimes I get them all and sometimes I don't.

[Redflea]

Dang...you're quick on the draw, JC! :D
