1. (Optional) Uninstall any previous OS from PC.
2. Download OS to PC. Use Internet Explorer, not Firefox or Chrome. (For leaked versions, browser is irrelevant.)
   *If 100% certain you’ve previously used FF or Chrome on same PC to DL an OS successfully, feel free to use FF or Chrome again.
3. Following successful DL, run OS file to install OS on PC.
4. On BB, go to BBM Options, scroll down to Backup section. Ensure Remote Backup is enabled AND also conduct a Local Backup to media card.

TROUBLESHOOTING
How to Fix OS not Appearing as Available
There are 2 common reasons:

A. HIDDEN VENDOR FILE
Consider trying this new desktop app to remove Vendor from several common locations:
Vendor XML Remover V1.0

If manually deleting Vendor, always hold down SHIFT and press DELETE to permanently delete.
Check here first:
•64-bit: Computer\C:\Users\{USER NAME}\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
•32-bit: Computer\C:\Documents and Settings\{USER NAME}\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
If Loader still doesn’t make new OS available, search PC for “Vendor”.

If Vendor is not found anywhere, see below to delete contents of AppLoader folder. (Folder where you found Loader & Vendor.)

B. APPLOADER FOLDER ITEMS

1. Uninstall the OS: Control Panel\Programs and Features, highlight this BlackBerry Device Software, click Uninstall at top.
2. Delete AppLoader folder contents: Highlight any item, CTRL+A to select all, SHIFT+DELETE to permanently delete.
   •64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
   •32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
3. Restart PC.
4. Re-install OS on PC: Go to your browser’s downloads section, double-click OS to start InstallShield Wizard.
5. Delete Vendor: Return to AppLoader folder, highlight Vendor, SHIFT+DELETE.
6. Load OS to BB: Attach BB to PC, double-click Loader (in AppLoader folder, where you deleted Vendor).

Recently, I have been unable to export Customer Invoices list from the GTK client 5.0.16. But I could export supplier invoices and all other forms just as easy. I can also export customer invoices using the web interface and using NanTic Koo KDE client.

I usually get this error while trying to export customer invoices list :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/user/openERP/openerp-client-5.0.16/bin/modules/gui/main.py”, line 1334, in _sig_child_call
res = wid.handlers[button_name]()
File “/home/user/openERP/openerp-client-5.0.16/bin/modules/gui/window/form.py”, line 281, in sig_save_as
win = win_export.win_export(self.model, self.screen.ids_get(), self.screen.fields, fields, parent=self.window, context=self.context)
File “/home/user/openERP/openerp-client-5.0.16/bin/modules/gui/window/win_export.py”, line 174, in __init__
self.fill_predefwin()
File “/home/user/openERP/openerp-client-5.0.16/bin/modules/gui/window/win_export.py”, line 241, in fill_predefwin
self.predef_model.append(([f['name'] for f in fields], export['name'], ‘, ‘.join([self.fields_data[f['name']]['string'] for f in fields])))
KeyError: u’reference’

I found out comparing old and new backups of my database, that there’s a line in ir.exports table that’s not showing in the predefined export fields. Deleting all rows in this table made the client functioning as it used to.

You need to download and install the following package :

http://am4computers.com/downloads/Hauwei/Linux_Hauwei_Movistar3G.zip

The Movistar 3.5G will be installed on your system. It will be invoked as soon as you plug your USB modem. You need to create a profile for Mobinil from Options, Profile Management, New and set the APN to mobinilweb.

And don’t forget to change the type of connection to Modem, not NDIS.

You can also use UMTSmon, which is a tool to control and monitor a wireless mobile network card (GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, UMTS, HSDPA) in a laptop running the Linux operating system. It handles PIN codes, operator choice (roaming), signal strength and network statistics, sending/receiving SMS . You can grab the latest version from http://umtsmon.sourceforge.net/.

2. Uninstall any previous installations of Java Plugin.

Only one Java Plugin can be used at a time. When you want to use a different plugin, or version of a plugin, remove the symbolic links to any other versions and create a fresh symbolic link to the new one.

Remove the symbolic links (or move them to another directory) to javaplugin-oji.so and libnpjp2.so from the Firefox plugins directory /usr/lib64/browser-plugins

3. Install downloaded java plugin

4. Create a symbolic link to the Java Plugin in the Firefox plugins directory.

Create a symbolic link to the Java Plugin libnpjp2.so file in the Firefox plugins directory:

    cd /usr/lib64/browser-plugins
    ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_23/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so

5. Start the Firefox browser .

Type about:plugins in the Location bar to confirm that the Java Plugin is loaded. You can also click the Tools menu to confirm that Java Console is there.
