Leaked: BlackBerry Storm 2 OS 5.0.0.287 & Bold 9700 OS 5.0.0.296

Storm 9520 OS

Unlike the Storm where is seemed like we had to wait forever for new OS leaks to show up after the device was released, Berry Review landed links to some leaked OS' before the device release. Both the Storm2 9520 and Bold 9700 are represented here, so those of you who have managed to track down a pre-release device can jump in on this, or if you just want to prepare for the arrival of your new BlackBerry you can grab the OS ahead of time so you're good to go on release day. This release is for the Storm 9520 not the 9500/9530. As always with any leaked OS, use caution when installing and don't break your new toy :-).

*OS Disclaimer - This is an unofficial release. 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). Follow the links below for more information and instructions. *

FYI Storm2 OS is for the 9520 version not the 9550

Posted by keith7120 Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

Will it work on the Storm 1 AKA the 9530, I'm running .230 now.

Posted by gafly Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

So how many hours will it be before a .287 for 9520 and a .230 for 9530 hybrid is made?

So an OS for unreleased phones drop on my birthday but the phones havent?

Wonder how many files from the 9520 OS are cross compatable with the 9530 and 9500.

What is this? i mean its nice to see Verizon getting their ish together but its an extra slap in the face to us Storm 1 owners i feel. I can see Verizon just focusing in on the Storm 2 from now on and seeing them putting the Storm 1 owners on the back burner. Prove me wrong VZW.

Posted by joski Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

I don't know if this even has anything to do with Verizon. If it's a leak, I'd say it's a RIM leak and nothing to do with silly Verizon.

Posted by scurvydlicious Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

The leaked OS is for the Storm 2 9520. Verizon's version of the Storm 2 is 9550.... So, how did Verizon leak an OS made by RIM for a phone they don't carry? Nice job pointing fingers.

Posted by xavierbuca Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

Now I just need my 9700 :/

Posted by 1Guido Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

So who wants to try this on their storm and see what happens.

Posted by gafly Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

Blackberry OS 5.507.013 was just released for the Blackberry Storm 3! Bad news is the phone has not even been designed yet.

Posted by pureboricua Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

didnt anybody notice that the last video of the storm2 9550 was running on OS 5.0 version .287 is it the same as the one for the 9520?

Posted by millerd79 Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

Posted by 1magine Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

Bold has leaks - we need .288 for the 9530!

Posted by spazn4u Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

Posted by iLovemy_bb Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

I hope I can get my hands on a Bold/Storm 2...

Posted by storm83 Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

No love for the original storm. where's the 5.0 for storm 1...

Posted by paulmac Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

Wow I installed this on my original Storm and I now have wifi, much faster and smoother, an actual IE browser with flash installed, and an i-phone compatability mode so I can install i-phone apps!!!!! Wait was that the alarm clock I just heard........ Darn :-)

Posted by t-woody Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

Paulmac, you hurt my feelings then. Ouch man.

Posted by itmassage Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

Will this leak work on 9550.

Posted by Mark_Venture Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

The leaked 5.0.0.230 for the Storm/9530 that I downloaded included a User manual for the 9520/9550 (file name was userguide_series_08.pdf )...

I wonder how compatible the OS's will be with the 9500/9530?

Posted by itmassage Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

Has any tryed on 9530 yet? If so how was it?

Posted by threedeckstew Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

whats the point of a leak which on one can use?

Posted by dntnvme Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 953 days ago

Why is it that they always release things to draw the hype but tend to forget those who have made them who they are today... This Kills Me... So can it work on the 9530?
