I assume you're looking for the original T-Mo OS? go to the link below for software download.

I do have the desktop software installed and have been using it to sync my calendar/contacts in outlook. But when I go to look for the folder that jibi mentioned, I dont seem to have the folder called 'Shared'. Under Research in Motion I only have 4 folders: AppLoader, Modem Drivers, RimDeviceManager, USBDrivers.

You have the desktop software installed but need to install the handheld software to your PC as well.

I want ZEN...

but I can't get past step 8. I've installed the Telstra package, dl'd the new blackberry.alx, and opened desktop manager - but I never get prompted to upgrade.

What am I doing wrong?

8700c on Cingular...

Thanks in advance for being a fantastic resource!

Thanks alot. I followed the instructions exactly and all the themes are working.

How do i Revert back to the orignial settings and OS I had before attempting to upgrade to Bharti?

The Telstra software is English only. This bothers me a little bit because of the format of the dates (I am German). Is there an international version of this software from another telco available?

[IanHummel]

installed it all without any problems. Very simple! THANKS JIBI!

I found a solution. I took the 310 from KPN and copied the language files I needed into the Telstar java folder. Now I could install German on my BB and it works. Roughly 99 % of the text is in German and no problems so far.

I've been using the Vodafone theme, and I like it a lot. Does anyone know how I can get the Missed Call icon on top to go away? There doesn't seem to be a Call History icon - with my stock Cingular theme I could just click on that to view the call history and clear the icon.

Thanks!

i installed the zen os now i cant connect the desktop manager..it just hangs and says connected to desktop

[kitmoni]

New issue here (I think). I successfully upgraded to .284, and have all the themes I had installed before. One of them is called "BB Dimension - Zen", but that's the only thing with Zen in it anywhere. Does this mean I don't have the Zen theme? If that is the Zen theme, then I can't tell how to modify it.

Also, we don't use the "Enterprise Activation" process for our BES. Usually just syncronizing on DM does the trick. But I don't think I've BES activated yet because the Enterprise Activiation icon is still there (it normally dissapears). Thoughts??

No. You must have Windows, unfortunately. I am a Mac user as well, but I had a cheap Dell laptop I was using for a while. I just recently sold both my iBook G$ and that Dell, and got new black MacBook. I installed Boot Camp and Windows XP Pro on that partition, and now have a two-in-one system - loving it.

As a side note, I changed (again) to Telstra to use the Today themes, and I am noticing a small increase in radio reception. I needed that because at my house I get very poor reception, usually an SOS symbol, but now I am keeping 1-2 bars. Anyone else getting better reception with Telstra as opposed to T-Mo/Bharti?

[jogon]

need to know if these themes could be donwloaded via ota.

thanks

[Seattle18]

Read two posts up - no, it cannot be done OTA, sorry.
