*OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you're comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. If you require support, you will find it in our CrackBerry forums via our extremely knowledgeable community base - do not contact your carrier or RIM for Beta OS technical support (their first course of action will be to advise you to downgrade to a supported OS).

Leaked: OS 5.0.0.130 for Bold and Curve 8900!

This time around it's the BlackBerry Bold and Curve 8900 getting some 5.0 love in the form of OS 5.0.0.130. The builds don't have RIM internal apps installed (quincy) so no worries there, but also do not have the 5.0 version of BlackBerry Messenger built-in and you'll find some of the RIM apps (App World) don't want to work. Otherwise, I've been finding the Bold build to be real nice.

BLACKBERRY - How To Upgrade/Downgrade Your Operating System

BlackBerry: How To Install or Upgrade to a New BlackBerry OS

Hello, today we're going to learn one of the most important procedures concerning your BlackBerry, but also one of the easiest. As CrackBerry Nation knows, RIM is constantly developing and testing new software for all of its devices. So as true CrackBerry addicts, we like to keep up with the latest and greatest. Today's lesson is another step-by-step guide on upgrading your device's Operating System(OS) using the Application Loader method. You can upgrade thru Desktop Manager Desktop Manager but for many new to BlackBerry owners the AppLoader method is a bit simpler with less chance for error.

****BEFORE WE BEGIN, PLEASE BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA OR IMPORTANT INFORMATION USING DESKTOP MANAGER.****

Now that you have backed up your information, Let the lesson begin!

Hit the Jump for more Details...

First you will need to download the new BlackBerry OS to your computer. You can check for Official Software updates on BlackBerry's Download Site. Select your provider, fill out the forms and save the file to your computer's desktop. Sprint Customers can GO HERE, click on their phone, click on MORE DETAILS where they see Software Update for BlackBerry XXXX, and then click on DOWNLOAD. Once the file is downloaded double click the icon from the download and select RUN.****Now as most know, there are unofficial versions (betas, leaks) of RIM software floating around the interwebs. If you decide to install one of these versions you do so at your own risk and cannot count on your service provider or ME to help with tech support. ****

This process of installing the software to your computer will take a few minutes and you will need to select your preferred language and accept a license agreement. If you're using unofficial software or a software version from a different service provider other than your own, after the installation wizard is done you will need go to the Apploader folder and delete the Vendor.xml file. It can be found following this path:

C:/ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\ResearchInMotion\Apploader.

Vista users is basically the same:

C:\ProgramFiles(*86)/CommonFiles\ResearchInMotion\Apploader.

Now it is time to get the actual install process started. After the deletion of the Vendor.xml file (if needed) it's time to plug in your device to the computer via USB cable and then double click on the Loader.exe file.



The Application Loader Wizard will start up and you will need to select 'Next'.


The next step is to identify which communication port the device is connected to. The Wizard should automatically detect the port and should display USB and your PIN number. Select 'Next'.


Next the Application Loader Wizard will read your devices system configuration. If for some reason you happen to be downgrading a box will pop up and ask if you want to change the systems applications(OS) or leave them. You need to select 'Replace Devices Applications with older version'. If you are not downgrading you will see the Device Application Selection screen. Here you need to make sure applications such as BlackBerry Attachment Service, BlackBerry Messenger, and 3rd Party Application boxes are ticked, and any other applications you want installed to the device and select 'Next'.


Now it is time to make sure the Application Loader Wizard backs up and restores all information on your device. Select 'Automatically Back Up' and make sure you have them emails box checked if you want those restored also. Then select 'Next'.


Completing the Application Loader Wizard screen will come up next and and show you exactly what Applications are being installed. Make sure everything you want installed is selected and select 'Finish'.


This process, depending on what model device you have can take anywhere from 20-45 minutes. DO NOT UNPLUG the device from the computer and DO NOT UNPLUG the USB cable from the device. This will cause you to have a bricked device and definitely give you a headache. Just be patient. When the Application Loader Wizard is finished the Wizard will say Loading Operation is Complete. Then you may unplug your device and enjoy the new Operating System.
