Desktop Software for PC

[snuffbeans]

I always save the latest download on my hard drive just in case. This is a good case.

I don't know where the 6.1 package is on the Blackberry website either, though others seem to have found it.   I got it off Softpedia by googling:

softpedia blackberry desktop 6.1

That should give you the right link as one of the top search results.  It has to be your choice whether to trust Softpedia, obviously...

and, a complete new repost of the same...

If you want to downgrade to the Desktop Software 6.1
--From your PC > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, remove your current BlackBerry Desktop Software.
--Reboot your PC (Start > Turn off , etc)
--Upon startup, download this file: "610_b034_multilanguage"
from this link: http://www.blackberryforums.com/rim-software/253387-archived-rim-desktop-software.html#post1744114
--Install that file by double-clicking on it and following the prompts to complete the installation.

My provider is T-Mobile so I went to their site, downloaded 6.x, and am back in business.

At this site there are several choices.  The direct link to 6.1.0.20 is:  http://depositfiles.com/files/li0iwomas

I believe 6.1.0.34 is also there but you must follow the link JSanders provided above.

I found a site at http://blackberry-desktop-manager.en.softonic.com/download.  I dowloaded the software (did the Custom install so it did not replace my default search engine or put its toolbars everywhere) and it seems to be working.

I am NEVER doing an auto-update with my Blackberry again.  V7 has been a nightmare and has wasted far too much of my time trying to get back to 6!

ALWAYS do a full device manual backup before upgrading. Always.
