Well, that didn't take long. Just the other day BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.52 was leaked to the interwebs and now we have .53 floating around and most importantly .54 is now up for OTA download. Word of caution of course it's NOT official by any means so if you decide to download make sure you at least make a back up first. Also note, only 4.7 + and higher plus the servers are likely being crushed with requests so if you are not able to download it the first time, look in the comments for a mirror of the file or just sit tight till the rush passes. (Thanks for the pic, @Sloth26)

Is this JUST for OS 4.7+?

Posted by katiepea Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

where does it say anything about 4.7?

Posted by jens.bberry Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

On their site: "Description BBM 5.0.0.54 For 4.7+ OS (This includes 5.0)"

Posted by Rodstar87 Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

Downloaded fine for me also. Don't really notice any differences tho. But hey... An upgrade is an upgrade.

Edit: can any1 confirm if the add caption was in the .52 build when sending files.

Posted by Haze11368 Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

Yea, it was

Can I download the .jad to my computer and then email it as an attachment to my blackberry email address, then download it on my blackberry? I'm afraid to try before asking if that works...

Posted by Rodstar87 Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

Why don't you just download it to your blackberry from the native browser? it took a little while but It worked fine for me.

Posted by gtownie Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

I finally got it downloaded through my browser. It failed a few times and that's why I was wondering...

Posted by Lie Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

When the hell are they going to officially release 5.0 for the older models?

Posted by jens.bberry Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

IF this is a BBM leak for people using OS's 4.7+, then perhaps this should be noted in the OP. Just to keep people who are using OS's lower than 4.7 from downloading and wondering why it's not working. Just sayin!

Posted by jeniferlynne Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

dl took a little longer then expected, but leak seems to look the same as the last at first glance.

Posted by duck383 Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

this .54 is alot smooooother than the .52 really liking the new pic preview in this version (.52 also). did the ota and only had to reset a few options in my groups and lost no contacts >nice

Posted by mrspock2002 Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

Posted by DriftDevil Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

if u downloaded from previous leak, was the vendor a custom?

maybe that's y? my ota has the legit vendor name...

Posted by visualpurple Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

yup, tried all the links. Same thing happened when BBM 5.0 first leaked. Couldn't download it until it was officially available from RIM.

Posted by itszmelyy Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

I was able to download it smoothly amd quickly. Now i can't find it on my phone ! help please?

Posted by ColdplayStorm89 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 791 days ago

...this exact same thing happened to me. when the phone resetted after the download, it was nowhere to be found on my phone. anywhere. so i just powered the phone all the way off, pulled the battery then put it back in, phone resetted again and still nothing. guess i'll just wait for the official release...

Posted by Floont Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 790 days ago

Perfect download.
Perfect reboot.
Checked my app version and it was 5.0.0.41!

Looked for the icon and it was nowhere to be found. And I checked every folder. Twice.

Uninstalled it and reloaded from app world back to 5.0.0.33, and it restored my contacts perfectly.

I guess I'll wait for another leak.

Posted by mccx33 Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

I guess I'll give this a whirl.. Since I'm bored lol

Posted by Shaundiesel Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

Storm 2 users...Forget it! I've tried 11 times, 3 different links...Nope!

Posted by Timebomb606 Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

some of the links are getting hammered. You guys need to learn to be patient and WAIT for stuff to calm down before going off the deep end about leaks.

Drift.....OTA download worked great for me.

Posted by Shaundiesel Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

I understand, not a newb....Fact is, there are plenty of users saying they had no issues, whereas I'm yet to hear a successful storm 2 story. Just a thought, not flaming.

Posted by thisisjnn Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

I'm having the same issue as itszmelyy. Download went just fine, but now I cannot find the icon on the device anywhere..... How do I find now?...

Posted by VDub2174 Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

Now I have to download this!!

Posted by xalkoholicx Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

Posted by xalkoholicx Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

Posted by SueyChoy Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

9530 Storm 5.0.0.328/405 Hybrid worked perfectly.

Posted by mrspock2002 Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

The original link was 4.3MB way too big and would install badly. This one is best:

Posted by MikeSuede Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 791 days ago

Thanks MrSpock, this works fine. Now I have figure out what was upgraded.

Posted by evorc Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

The main improvement that I loved is picture preview before accepting is way bigger than .52 and transfer seems a bit faster. Good job RIM keep it coming!

Posted by Tiguere Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

downloaded the new messenger on my storm 2 kept asking me to confim all throughout the download.

Posted by LoSt180 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 791 days ago

Second Storm2 success, I used the original link in the article.

Posted by Roweazie Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

I didn't notice the "find" option before.

Posted by DUKDIKz Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

Posted by djanark2000 Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

Posted by Tapeworm Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

After installing and rebooting I got the following:

Uncaught exception: net_rim_bb_phone_app (58) is not responding; process terminated

I clicked the OK button below it.

Posted by Azothyran Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 790 days ago

So what you're basically saying is that your phone application crashed? Wow. Now that's something xD.

Posted by geisha1 Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

I was prompt to download it. I didn't request it. It took me a couple of trys and it works. I like the screen layout better and the remote backup too. I have a tour and only had it a week so getting use to these things.

Posted by nighthawk34691 Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago

Downloaded and installed and all seems to be working good so far.. Will report findings.

Posted by spiltmilk00 Friday, Dec 11, 2009 791 days ago
