Frustrated Smartphone blackBerry - can't change firmware on carrier

Hello

I recently bought a unlocked new Pearl 9100 and on the side of the box has stickers of Vodafone but to turn on the unit, I see no reference to Vodafone at all and the version of the software (6 Bundle 2474 v6.0.0.546) seems to indicate that it is generic firmware.

I noticed the phone, change the layers of the network (Edge, GPRS, 3G) erratic and seems slow to find a tower closer and move to keep it 3G so I think maybe Optus firmware maybe optimization for this problem but I can't do charge.

I tried to delete the vendor.xml file and reinstall the firmware 9100 Optus and following the usual procedure in this forum, but when it finishes reading the phone indicates the firmware Optus is not compatible with my device, so it is all hidden.

Any help on the Optus firmware loading would be so appreciated. I'll even send someone a payment to help me solve this problem.

Help, please!

No, it isn't a bad idea at all.

Operating system device provided are "released" by specific carriers once that they are certified and trained to their support technicians, but still, you are able to load any carrier the same model by following the instructions below. There is really nothing to fear. Please read more information about it here: http://www.port3101.org/power-users/296-blackberry-os-upgrade-including-betas-myths-dispelled.html

See the link below to download it and follow these simple instructions.

Make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close the office at the end Manager.

1. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.
2. go in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how can I change my signature & other texts on my outgoing emails sent from my mobile?

    When I bought my Blackberry Torch 9800 (2 years), I managed (somehow) add text by giving my name, my 2 companies Web sites & so that it appears at the bottom of every outgoing e-mail.  At the same time, I've removed the text that says something like "message sent from my Blackberry".

    Now I need to change the message (& also want to restore it's my Blackberry because it is what explains a brief answer when necessary.)

    I don't think that I did all the settings on the mobile.  I think that this has been done "somehow" on my main computer.

    Any ideas?

  • BlackBerry smartphones, I can't change a speed dial on my Tour 9630

    Hello.

    I wanted to give my voicemail number to the 'Q' key on my 9630 new.  I must have done something wrong because in the list speed dial 'Q' is now show "Edit profile on vibrate only."  I can't figure how to get rid of it and assign my voicemail number.

    Second question: I've been able to assign my voicemail to another key number.  When I scroll down to move it to 'Q' it will not allow me to do.  He's of 'R' to 'P' allow me to put it on the line for "Q".

    Third related question: so I decided just to remove the new speed dial entries I've done.  The State of instructions help I should go to the phone and press "Menu".  Then choose "View speed dial list," and select a contact or phone number, and press the Menu key.  I did that, by emphasizing the number I added a touch of speed dial I now want to remove.  The instructions say that I must choose either 'Edit', 'Move' or 'delete '.  The problem is that these orders are not displayed when I press the Menu key.  The choice of menu only I give are 'Help', 'Call [that]', 'Application Switch' and 'close '.

    What I'm doing wrong here?  Thank you in advance for your help!

    Question 1: A, Q or W cannot be changed, moved, or deleted.

    Question 2: A, Q or W cannot be changed, moved, or deleted.

    Question 3: You probably highlight W - voicemail which is the only speed dial that can be called but not deleted. Highlight any other letter (other than A, Q or W), and then press DELETE.

  • BlackBerry smartphones, how can I change display order of photos?

    Hello!

    I searched the forums, but I don't see this issue raised by anyone...

    I download pictures to my Storm 2 from my computer using the BB Device Manager.

    Is it possible to change the display order of photos once they are downloaded on my Storm 2?

    The order of display on the computer does not appear to match how they appear on the Storm 2 and actually, it seems to have much to do with the name of file, either.

    I would appreciate any idea that someone has!

    Thank you!

  • Smartphones blackBerry how to change the user name of e-mail on a Blackberry Curve 9320.

    Dear community,

    I have a Blackberry Curve 9320. My company has recently changed their messaging system so I need to create a new e-mail account. Creating the account of electronic mail is not a problem. However. some settings need to be changed. When I go on settings, navigation key allows me to change the change the server info, type my password etc. However, I'm unable to change the user name. My device automatically generates a username of email that is not correct and I am unable to change because the navigation button jumps on this area. Can someone advise me on how a change the username of email on a curve 9320. Thank you.

  • Smartphones blackBerry background image changes after connection to the blackberry Manager

    I am a new owner of blackberry curve 8330, and I'm still trying to get all the options work correctly.  A small problem I have is that my background image changes to the original image, the phone came with once I plug it to the blackberry manager to synchronize.  I guess that there is a setting I'm missing.  Can anyone help?

    I think I solved it... Is your Photo in the background in your "Device" memory or your press card?  If in the support card, once you sync, he returned to the screen of origin for your theme.

    I went in the media, opened the photos, parades in my current photo card and while in the photo, I hit the menu, and he has a line of "move". Click on it and you will see Media Card and below will be the memory of the device. Click on the memory of the device and it will be moved here. Now, click on the photo and set it as the background of your screen.

    Now, when you synchronize, it will NOT be moved.  It worked for me, I would like to know if this is the solution for you.

    Godd luck!

  • Smartphones blackBerry BBM PIN change?

    Hello

    I am writing today to ask you about a problem I've been for the last few days to my BBM pin code. About 02:00 on Tuesday 2 October I started having a lot of people add me BBM. I thought that someone their posted on facebook and made a typo, then I ignored for a few hours and just blocked everyone add me. He continued, however, and started to become really exsessive (more than 100 people and climbing) at this time I have added one of them to ask the person if they could say their friends to stop to add me and get the person who published it to count the number of correct PIN. He told me that my PIN was a chain email called the copy and the BBM train and stuck in our conversation, it was an e-mail written in Turkish with hundreds of pins BBM on them. I never posted my BBM pin anywhere online before so this was a pretty big shock to see this. My provider is Rogers so I contacted them just maybe get my changed pin code because it is a very dangerous and very frustrating situation. They said that each pin is individual for the device and so I should get a new phone, but they also gave me an email address that did not work to see if you can do something for me. Is it at all possible to get my changed pin code?

    Thank you for your attention

    Erin

    The PIN is unique to each device and is not editable by the user. The unit must be sent for renovation in order to change the pin code.
