upgrading 7100t

**Aelita** · 08-29-2010, 05:56 PM

Hi and thank you everyone for reading and for any help you can give me. I'm sorry in advance for the rookie question but would really appreciate some information.

I got a T-mobile 7100t for free and activated it on rogers. The signal strength is brutal! Can I upgrade with rogers firmware and if so which one would I use for 7100t? Rogers won't offer any support since it's not their product, so thank you for your help!

You would want to use the 7100r OS I believe.

Download Rogers BB OS's here:

Then install it on your PC.

Then Start DM and if it prompts you to update then its the correct Software.

Great, Thank you!
My application is already showing: 4.1.0.309
So does it make sense that upgrading with the link from the rogers site using the 7100r os; it's going to solve the poor signal quality problem I'm getting now?

Thanks again

Howdy,

Hope all is well. I'm not sure if re-installing the BB OS from Rogers website would resolve your signal problem.

From my experience, this 7100t model does have a weaker signal receiver. It's not kool, I've experienced this with our users at work. You can give it a try, but I wouldn't count on it too much.

Hope this helps. = )
