Leaked: BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.52 for OS 5.0!

on 8 Dec 2009 11:40 AM

It appears as if BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.52 is included with the latest Bold 9700 leaked OS, and BBHybrids has posted an OTA link so everyone can get in on the fun. Rumors all over on what is new/different in this version (dive into our forums for lots of threads on it), but if you want to give it a go you should be able to install it on any device running OS 5.0. We're not sure how long the link will stay working, but you can give it a shot and keep your eyes out for any download mirrors that will likely pop up. Be sure to leave a comment and let us know your findings.

this is one popular download!!! To those having difficulty, please be patient as the number of people attempting to download is staggering.

It's worth the update. Much improved over 5.0.33!

Thanks BBHYBRIDS.net!

Improvements:
New Icon
File Transfer gives option to preview before download

Option to auto accept voicenotes
Overall Faster

They left out all other OS (phone software) therfore no it doesn't work with the Garbage RIM has left to most of us people with coverage (CDMA)

Posted by wsm23 Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

It has voice notes now!

Posted by jesse.anger Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

Just checked my current version of BBM before this update and it also has voice notes option. Just to point out that seems to not be a new feature.

Posted by SDenis Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

i agree.. for those who cant download it, its not worth the struggle.. wait for the next one...

Posted by rugbyua9 Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

The download is extremely slow for me. im on a storm 2 and after a while it just fails. Gets about 50%.

Posted by rugbyua9 Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

same as above... 907 Invalid COD HTTP Error 504: Gateway Timeout

Posted by jesse.anger Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

Shortly after reaching 50% the download fails for me.
5.0.0.348 on Bold 9000/Rogers

Posted by Teddyp6 Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

I am going to wait to see what's new about this before I try it on my 9700. If anyone sees a major difference, please post.

Posted by flexyneat Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

Download keeps failing, even with a Wi-Fi COnnection

Posted by leafs123 Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

its overloaded

Posted by casperkaroff Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

Hey CrackBerry Nation I know how great leaks like these are but keep in mind the pressures they can put on the BlackBerry servers. When the first BBM 5.0 leak came out everyone was jumping on it and it caused major issues to the BBM efficiency. Trust me I like new stuff as much as the rest, but this is not a Vendor by Research In Motion product and should not be downloaded. There will most likely be an official update to BBM soon since there are new enhancements happening on the backend.

Just be patient.

Posted by katiepea Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

what are you even talking about, the inefficiencies were caused by RIM not having their servers ready for bbm 5, but that issue is over with now, it's all upgraded. it's not vendor by RIM because it's hosted separately by people here, it's included from the newest 9700 build, so you're pretty much completely wrong with everything you said

Posted by casperkaroff Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

katiepea,

You might want to get your facts straight. The inefficiencies are caused by leaked (not official) products getting out to the public. RIM does not have to support these because they are not official. READ ALL LEAKED DISCLAIMERS! If they have an official product released to the public and it has issues then that's another story. Also, the 9700 .415 is once again a "leaked" unofficial version, not supported by RIM unless it and all the contents of the OS (including BBM 5.0.0.52) is officially released!

It's disappointing to see people blame RIM for what others are leaking out to the public. If RIM hasn't made it official you can't expect them to by ready!

I enjoy leaks as well as others but it bothers me when people complain that RIM needs to do this or that! We are lucky to even get leaks of products and os's. Some devices are not getting the love (Tour) but that doesn't mean that it will not come. There is a leaked 5.0.0.230 version for the Tour but people want more. That's cool and to degree I will agree with those people especially with all the love the 9700 is getting. But the 9700 is a GSM (international) device, where the Tours are CDMA. GSM devices are easier to build software for, so you will always see more for them. I am still waiting for a leak for the 9550, but all i can is wait.

Posted by bassplaya51 Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

Why does RIM have to like that crap... I get download failed everytime. And I was still running the 4.7 messenger b/c the 33 was so awful..now I lost that during the failed download process. How could RIM have released something as SUCKY as .33 anyway? Gah!! Drives me crazy...someone get a new link please!!!!!! FAST!!!!!!!!

Posted by wojtas25 Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

Its not RIM released BBM *.52 but some betatesters or just pulled out from OS *.415 for BB Bold 9700.

Posted by aatonytone Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

Posted by r3g Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

Posted by Jay21fire Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

PLEASE SOMEONE GET US A NEW LINK ASAP THANKS

Posted by abmtgman Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

Posted by syquest1 Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

I guess I will wait for the official...OH...THATS RIGHT....I own a Tour which means I no longer exist to RIM...sorry almost lost my mind for a second.

Posted by arsenalsocal Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

Tried a few times without deleting .33, deleted .33 and kept getting the same message that everyone else is getting. Reinstalling .33 right now

Posted by sabbotage Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

That link is bad also, I get download failed unable to import zip file. I've tried it 3 times too.

Posted by gr8cop Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

* Note, disregard I have bbm 5.0.33 still.

Ok, since I don't know anyone else with a 9700 who downloaded 415, if someone could send me a picture through bbm to see if it works. I will send one back. Please keep it clean. pin:2147f0c2

Posted by DonnyG2 Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

Some of you really need to take a step back and THINK. THIS WAS NOT RELEASED BY RIM!!!!!!!

Posted by willyboy6 Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

Plenty of us are running operating systems that weren't officially released by RIM, you think those same people are worried about one program? /chuckle...

Posted by kermalou Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009 795 days ago

something annoying is that it confirms that you want to end chats now.
