Software For BlackBerry® Pearl (TM) 8100 smartphone BlackBerry
Handheld Software v4.5.0.134 (Multilanguage) from Vodafone Slovenia

Contains English and other languages

This will work on ANY carrier's 8100 model--not for the 8110, not the 8120, not the 8130.

Package Version: 4.5.0.134
Consisting of:

* Applications: 4.5.0.99
* Software Platform: 2.7.0.84
* File name: 8100M_PBr4.5.0_rel134_PL2.7.0.84_A4.5.0.99.ex e
* File size: 80 MB

Download here:

Instructions for installing on ANY carrier's 8100:

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.

The link shows only the Eastasian not multilanguage

[strike2tamu]

Wasn't there already a .81 here?

[buneech]

The link is wrong, the name of the link should be copied and used. And it is a 4.5.0.99 version.

[JSanders]

The WAS correct... Something in it got edited or something. I pasted it there only after double checking, and have done so again now.

It just worked for the correct version.

[bbf]

So, is the thread title correct or not? Should it refer to 4.5.0.134 / 4.5.0.99?

[John Clark]

Fixed the title.

[Nucker]

Any noticable improvements or minor bug fixes?

JC love the avatar.

might wait until a few peps have tested it...

[kparton]

Downloading now...

Will report back in a few hours use.

[kparton]

Right, fully installed it now.

Took by far the longest amount of time to install for some reason, especially restoring the backup...took 60 minutes to complete totally.

Hada quick scoot through the phone and can't see any additions. Speed of the phone seems on par with its .81

[kickstar13]

what is the difference between .81 and this version???

[darkamikaze]

lol.. does this fix any bluetooth skippin problems.. lol..

[kickstar13]

anyone know the difference between 4.5.0.81 and this version??

[kickstar13]

k downloaded it to my computer and installed it on my Blackberry. 1 thing ive noticed is better voice quality(just a little better). Also faster than .81. These are really the only changes. I would definitely recommend getting this if you have .81 or older. =]

did u delete the VENDOR XML file. Cause when i was installing this i forgot to and then i got a 507 Error on my blackberry and then needed to download JL _Comander to wipe the BB and reinstall the OS again. Are you getting any message on your BB??

[John Clark]

Not deleting the vendor.xml doesn't cause any problems like either of your problems. Failure to delete the vendor.xml just prevents the OS from even being recognized for installation.

well thats what i got wen i forgot to delete the Vendor.xml file.

[John Clark]

But forgetting to delete the vendor.xml file didn't cause it.

Some OS's don't have data in the vendor.xml file so the OS will still be recognized without deleting it. Again, the error you got had nothing to do with the vendor.xml. More likely a glitch in your USB port.
