OS 4.1 discussion

twheeler · #1 11-12-2005 -

Any news on OS 4.1? It would be nice to have the BT connectivity with DM 4.1. I would also think that with the 7130 release and the 8700 release looming that those units would come with the latest OS. I was wondering if that might be 4.1...?

i think the 8700's come with 4.1 pre loaded.

I'm waiting for the BB upgrade to see if they improved the BT connectivity, specifically for the BT800 jabra.

Just curious if the 7130e will come pre loaded with OS v4.1? I like it on my 7100i, but it is definatly buggy, and I should be getting an advanced copy of v4.1 for the 7520 this week.

Perhaps this is a silly question, but is there any way to get OS 4.1 on a (unlocked) 7100t?

I can't vouch for it, but Hong Kong CSL has posted OS 4.1 upgrades for the 7100 and the 7290...

I'm a little nervous downloading an OS upgrade from a different carrier, but lots of people have said it works fine

**hayden** · #8 01-20-2006 -

Yup works like a charm on my 7290 I would like to list some of the cool improvements and effecient changes to the menus, emailing, profiles, security, auto email similar mactching on compose, browser tweaks and additions to details and much much more!. As time allows i guess. This download is WORTH IT.

Had a lang error that would come up once after unlocking un reeboot. But dleted all language modules

and that fixed it.

Go figure how it works now lol.

OHHHH, temping to try on my 7105. I may give it a shot this weekend.

Stay tuned.

Yeah I am thinking of doing this also. I plan on using a 7290 for a few weeks (to compare with 7100g). I want to put this 4.1 on both of them! Will post results and improvements when I do.

twheeler · #11 01-21-2006 -

uh oh! I tried it and it worked great after I installed it. then it hung up and I deleted a language support for the UK and now I have the hourglass just spinning and the unit wont boot at all!

Gulp, it's been this way for the last 10 hours. any suggestions on how to even get this thing to a point I can restore any functionality?

Looks like I'm really in need of some help.

On the bright side, 4.1 was ocking on my 7105 from t-mobile. I just didn't have the browser and that's what I was trying to restore when it went to poop.

twheeler · #12 01-21-2006 -

okay, long story with javaloader.exe involved, but i think i'm getting close to recovering.

more later. again, the bright side is i'll have intimate knowledge of javaloader to share if anyone needs that level of help. pretty cool actually. your BB can really be messed up and still fixable!

I would only delete modules if you experience a specific java.exception.language.error. A coworker on a 7290 confirmed 4.1 works for him also. However, he got critical error on the first try from the DT manager. Seems 4.1 is very unstable to install on non supported BB's but as Twheeler says it's pretty hard to get it to a point where it can't be fixed.

But I should add only during the install process there are bugs. Once tweaked, this is the best OS version I've had yet!

twheeler · #15 01-21-2006 -

okay, still hanging on the hourglass after wiping the Device with javaloader and reinstalling the 4.0.2 OS from t-mobile. ARGH! Getting a little worried, anyone have other suggestions?
