I see several posts regarding deleting the vendor.xml file on my laptop in order to install software from another carrier. What exactly is this file used for? What is accomplished by deleting it, and will I need another copy after the upgrade to 4.2?

I would like to upgrade to 4.2 in order to use the media manager software, but am not sure of the impact of using another carrier's 'approved' software on my verizon 7130e.

It should be noted that Desktop Manager's Media Manager is nearly useless on the 7130 since it doesn't have a Media Card.

Desktop Manager 4.2 SP2 and higher use Roxio for its Media Manager, and it is not only HUGE, but it is VERY INVASIVE - I strongly recommend either NOT installing it or go to Desktop Manager 4.2 SP1 which has the much smaller and significantly less invasive native Media Manager.

Hi, I have a question, probably sounds dumb but w.e. Im using the Blackberry pearl 8100 on T-mobile UK. I tried to install the OS from Cingular and T-Mobile US but unsuccessful. I used Blackberry desktop manager thing, the App Uploader shows a message something like: it's missing an "input method core library". I dont remember it verbatim but it was something along those words, then didnt let me install onto the blackberry. Thank you for helping

You can use any OS for a GSM carrier. Just make sure that you delete the vendor.xml file after installing it on the PC.

Just go to BB Desktop Manager and add additional languages in Applications Loader. I have any language in my BB (8310) as well as Full Russian localization. Perhaps this is a benefit of newer platform, I don't, know.
If any questions - contact me personally, and I'll explain you in russian ;)

You can use any carrier's OS on the BlackBerry. Just follow the directions to delete the "vendor.xml" file.

i installed the orange version, didnt think it made any difference

Usually one installs the latest version number, regardless of carrier.

Hey if somebody could please help me, I'm setting up my second 8120 pearl, and it is a brand new unlock 02 pearl, and I'm with T-mobile, and it's already unlocked, but I've been wiping it and I'm trying to change the os from the 02 OS to the T-mobile os, but everytime I use the "shared loader files" from the T-mobile installation off their site, it just ends up putting back the 02 OS somehow. I've figured it out a while back but I just can't seem to remember what I did. If anyone can help, thanks for your help in advance!

edit: Yes I've deleted the vendor.xml file
