since i now use a 7130c im happy to say 4.2 is finaly out
I have managed to easily install OS 4.2 for the 7130!
Here is how to do it...
1.) Go to
*Register To See Links*
2.) Download the OS 4.2.1 update "7130gM_PBr4.2.1_rel140_PL2.3.0.75_A4.2.1.91_B hart i" under the 7130g section
-(i think that this update will work with all 7130 (GSM) phones (i have a 7130c)).
3.) Install the file, but don't connect phone just yet, or nothing will happen
4.) Under C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader; delete or rename the Vendor.xml file (i renamed mine to Vendor.old)
5.) Now when you plug in your phone with the Desktop Software running you should get a window telling you that there is an update available for your phone, so follow the steps and ta-da, the long awaited OS4.2 for the 7100 series is yours!
I am working on unlocking other themes, so if i can get the blackberry.alx file to work, i will post it for this new version of the software.
***Note: This update is not for the 7130e. This is for GSM devices only, not CDMA.
i also editied the blackberry.alx file and got all the vendor themes
i still dont know how to get new theme on my phone (blackberry pearl 8100)
