OTA link fails for me, "Invalid COD" ?

 
 
Posted by MRCUR Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Works just fine. Rebooted and everything appeared again once I agreed the the EULA. Nice job on the leaks this week!

 
 
Posted by sooks Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Both links for me are dead i get errors saying cant unzip the cod

 
 
Posted by djransom Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Invalid COD error for me as well.

Come on now....lets get a working OS leak for the Tour now!!

 
 
Posted by Aalejandro Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Download was fast everything seems to be working well , don't see anything new , using the Bold 9000 btw

 
 
Posted by SJRod55 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

All working well. As they said these are MINOR upgrades

 
 
Posted by ceepee Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

all i wanna know does it show the photo preview madd small or is it finally a normal viewing size?

 
 
Posted by martivera Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

still madd small

 
 
Posted by gunnz Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

but you can maximize the preview...at least on my storm 1 i can...

 
 
Posted by martivera Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

through the bb button or what?

 
 
Posted by Snipes Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Wake me when it drops for realz, lol.

 
 
Posted by eBud Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

...a 907 cod error comes with each and
every download.

 
 
Posted by HellKatzX Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Are you using Wifi? I was having this issue and I was not aware that you can't have Wifi on. Worked for me at least!

 
 
Posted by ki2594 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Upgrading now, well downloading via the mirror.

Asks you repeated "do you want to replace this module questions"

is everyone getting that?

 
 
Posted by DaBear5 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

yup thats normal

 
 
Posted by DaBear5 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

I wonder how many people are bothering to upgrade at this point knowing another one will probably be leaked tomorrow. lol

 
 
Posted by devGOD Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Why does it not say Research In Motion? is this someones hack up version of BBM5? I like leaks but I'll wait for the really thing

 
 
Posted by evorc Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

this is the same as the official one....

 
 
Posted by evorc Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

RIM = Research In Motion..... it's ok.lol

 
 
Posted by katiepea Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

research in motion is the company that made the phone you are using....jeez this community gets dumber by the minute

 
 
Posted by taylortbb Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

@katiepea

I know that was an honest mistake, but you're not looking so bright right now. =P He said why does it *not* say Research in Motion. And the answer is because the OTA link was put together by someone else from a RIM leak of BBM.

 
 
Posted by sonar_chris Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Someone add me to their BBM PIN 24B183F7. I don't think any of my messages are going through and want to test it.

 
 
Posted by prince-ali Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

This is now available from RIM. I just downloaded .55 directly through RIM and it worked on my 4.7.1 Tour.

 
 
Posted by jayarh Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

thanks, this leak wasn't working for my tour. nice find

 
 
Posted by jsanta11 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Wow nothing was announced good lookout .. thanks

 
 
Posted by chayes995 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Now official for the Storm1. Went into the BBM and it prompted me for download.

 
 
Posted by DUKDIKz Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

just download itt..and its fine

 
 
Posted by bunsen Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

This is the same build that shows up for me when I downloaded BBM from mobile.blackberry.com 5 min ago.

Official for Tour.

EDIT: I'm not the first to notice I guess.

 
 
Posted by soul2k Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Available on App World Bold 9700

 
 
Posted by JT.Thomas94 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Posted by prince-ali Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Glad it's working out...

I had the same problem, downloaded from the link posted here, it did not work and the icon disappeared. Went back directly to RIM to see what they had available - and it was .55 - except it downloaded and worked immediately with no problems.

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Could the next leaked version be version 5.0.0.56? Just a guess. Lol. They need to release the real sh!t already and give us something new for a change, lately I've been feeling bored. I would love a customizable bbm with different color themes or backgrounds for the chat screen area etc.

 
 
Posted by duck383 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

rim just released the official .55

Posted by casperkaroff Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

This is not a leak. This is a official release. Go to http://blackberry.com/messenger from your BlackBerry. Not yet updated in App World.

 
 
Posted by DingleBerryKTM Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Did they fix the photo sending function in this one? In the old BBM you could send pics really easily and could preview them without saving them first...in bbm 5 files sometimes expire when you send them and you have to save it first before you can view...it sucks. I hope they fixed it on this version. Anyone else have this problem with bbm 5??

Posted by username0001 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

i am only seeing .33 in app world.

 
 
Posted by ceepee Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

I just realized on my wife's Tmo 8900 running 4.6 she has full picture preview.. on my Tmo 9700 running the latest leak.. i get that shitty tiny picture view. any experts out there know why this is?

 
 
Posted by katiepea Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

full preview on bbm5 only works with versions newer than .33, both people have to have it.

 
 
Posted by martivera Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

that answers my question. lol

 
 
Posted by ceepee Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

Her 8900 and my 9700 have the latest official BBM just released, but my picture view is completely different.

 
 
Posted by kaysesoze Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

downloaded fine but when i rebooted, i got a bbm error, downgraded and lost bbm and market.. wtf.. trying to fix it now

 
 
Posted by Jleeblanch Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Lol...so, i downloaded the "Leaked" version posted here to my 8900 running OS 5.0 and it installed fine. Then, just a few mins ago as i'm checking UberTwitter i see the Tweet for the *Updated* BBM Leak. Of course i had to check it out and then i find out it's now OFFICIAL Lol!! No complaints here but i did re-download and install the version from RIM's mobile site just to be safe i guess! Even tho it asked if i wanted to replace version 5.0.0.55 with version 5.0.0.55 lol!

And P.S... Not sure if because this release of BBM is actually only intended for OS 4.7+ but it's still not currently in App World on my 8900

Posted by kellidotca Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

And it's running fine.

 
 
Posted by the brother Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

Same here kelli, running os 4.6.1.250 on Rogers and so far no issues. Install was very smooth, all open conversations remained in tact! Maybe the post should be updated since the 'offical' might be working on 4.6.x.xxx. Anyways, all good so far. Time to get ma fellow BBM 5.0h'ers to upgrade to .55!!

HOLLA

 
 
Posted by nadjas9 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 892 days ago

Posted by Nwordplzplz Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

This one is official. I just received the message from Blackberry App World, and it's installing right now.

download failed: invalid cod??? why is that

 
 
Posted by lipa123 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

No Spell Check in here....!! Damn! I need a update for BBM asap, Or a Downgrade to .33, Even the Built in 'Auto' Spell Check 'as you type' (OS Ver 4.7) is gone, I can't go without spellcheck, this is sick! What a careless mistake from RIM

Any Idea where I can still get the .33 ???

 
 
Posted by katiepea Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

more like, what a careless mistake by YOU. spell_check is present in .55 on all 6 phones i installed it on tonight. might wanna check your phone before you make blanket false statements to people

 
 
Posted by David2g Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

Yep! Spell Check is gone for me too. BB Tour.

Posted by linkkoriri Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

Yay for Official Release! Its allowing me to download it to my wife's 8230 and my work 8220, and my personal 9530 (I got too many blackberries (Just kidding). The Pearl Flips run 4.6 so it hopefully works without a hitch. :D

 
 
Posted by aznxmoss Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

Just tried to install on a 8350i. Dropped my memory from 53MB to 40MB, and to top it off, said there was an error in the installation. Will do a battery pull and retry.

 
 
Posted by chopper260 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

It installed fine but what is different about it from .33?

 
 
Posted by martivera Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

on my storm1 (maybe other blackberries) when in a convo, you can now click the black banner on the top to open contact info. i dont think .33 had this

 
 
Posted by a.leah86 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

I will also chime in and mention that I'm running OS 4.6.1 on an 8230 and the download went just fine. I still don't see the updated version in my app world, but from blackberry's site there was no problem. It's running fine!

 
 
Posted by sdnberry86 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

Going to attempt to download this, I see someone above got this running on their BB running OS 4.5.0.139. I'm verizon Curve on 4.5.0.138 so we shall see...

I just downloaded the 5.0.55 BlackBerry Messenger version and found out there's 11 (eleven) BBM Notification that couldn't get outta my screen..
Did a check..But no new messages..

Wondering what the heck is happening with my Bold? (Running 4.6.301 on Unlocked T-MOBILE Brand)

Did a battery pull but those freakin' notification still dimmed in my screen..

Anyone?

 
 
Posted by martivera Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

UPDATE!!

BBM .55 is officially available for download through App World

3.0MB though.

Enjoy!

Posted by Razzjr Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

kept getting errors went to Blackberry.com/messanger downloaded it no problems

 
 
Posted by DavidNC Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

I saw this was official so I went to the blackberry.com/messenger and clicked as far as to see what version I would get and it was showing the new .55 version.
.....but from reading it sounds as if I need 4.7 OS and my OS is 4.5.0.138 . Seeing that made makes me wonder whats up with that lol :p

 
 
Posted by Crunch Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

@ whoever said "doesn't work on 9000"..of course, it does. I just deleted .54 before going to blackberry.com/messenger and then downloading and installing the new one. Restored the backup via one of my email addresses and there it is!

It also uses slightly less memory

Never worked on my Tour, but I've seen it work on my cousin's Bold 9000. Asked him it it still works on his new Bold 9700 and he said it doesn't work any more.

Posted by mkurz12 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

Tried getting the leak, no dice
Then it was officail with no notification, took over 10 minutes to dl and then another 10 plus to install. Then it tells me it didn't work and BBM was gone. 30 minutes later I get an email notification telling me to upgrade.
Clicked the link and it took me to App World. It gave the choice to "RUN" or Upgrade". Chose upgrade, it froze my phone and went to white screen. battery pull, (still no BBM icon.
Clicked the email link again, took me to app world...again. This time I chose "RUN" dl'd and installed in under 2 minutes rebooted and everything is back to normal.

That was very annoying!

At least it working again though.
Also didn't automatically remove me from my groups this time, which it did during the last upgrade.

Also last time I upgraded I lost all the BBM contact pics until I had a conversation with the people, than they showed back up. This time they were all there immediately after the upgrade.

 
 
Posted by richlallen Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

it changed the font on mine.
when i view the main screen, i can see more of the convo now without opening it due to a smaller font size.

i guess thats good? lol
also like someone else said you can click on the black bar to open someones profile.

 
 
Posted by David2g Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

Did anyone get spell check to work on Tour? installed fine, but no spell check.

 
 
Posted by ElPedro625 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

My spell check is technically working, if I spell something wrong thats in auto text(example adn it will change to and) but it doesnt give me the dotted line under the other words like it did before(example spelling complicated copmlicated it doesnt change) which is pretty anoying

Posted by vqmkkfeere Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 891 days ago

It does work on 4.6+, it works perfectly on my bold, so you need to change the information, instead of 4.7+. It is actually 4.6+
