Leaked: OS 4.7.0.109 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530!

BlackBerry Storm 9530 OS 4.7.0.109

Just a few days after 4.7.0.109 surfaced for the 9500 Storm, it has now arrived for 9530 Storm owners. SWEEEET! There's lots of mirror sites to download from already setup, so just click the image above to stay on top of the action.

Reminder: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release, so install at your own risk and only if you're comfortable with doing so. If you've never installed an OS beta before be sure to dive into the CrackBerry forums and read all of our tutorials. Keep in mind that these leaked OS's sometimes take a step backwards in one area while taking a step or two forward in another. If you're on the fence, you're best off waiting until the Discussion & Findings thread fills up with some data.

second? i guess this means we're another step closer to an official release right? still on .75, so that can't come soon enough.

I've been waited for this one since 9500 released few days back and known this will follow...

Hmm the link points to the right thread but the text says Vodaphone 9500 :)

Started the birthday partying already?

LOL! I'm sure he'll fix it, probably just copied and pasted from the 9500 blog entry. ;)

anyone have any idea when vz might release an offical version??

 
 
Posted by Dolphis Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1083 days ago

ROFL nice! and I just upgraded to .103 this morning. Yeah... little late on that, but I'm sick in bed, figured I'd do it now lol.
Will def. get it and keep an eye on it lol

 
 
Posted by moosc Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1083 days ago

ill bet this the hybrid version its the .131 version same as .103

 
 
Posted by robertmills Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1083 days ago

Nah, the image is just incorrect. Look at it right now and the platform is .136

 
 
Posted by nativeray911 Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1083 days ago

When is the official release coming.

This may sound like a noob question even though I am not, but I missed the whole explanation of what a "Hybrid" OS is. Someone please explain.

 
 
Posted by joshjefferson Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1083 days ago

A hybrid is taking the java files from an OS that is not supported by your carrier. For example using the java files from vodaphones .109 and putting them into verizons .103 to make a .109 for verizon

 
 
Posted by BChydro86 Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1083 days ago

where is the download link? the only link is for the 9500.

also....no discussion forum?

 
 
Posted by joshjefferson Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1083 days ago

The link is correct, of you click on the Vodophone .109 link on this page it takes you to the Verizon 9530 .109 link forum

 
 
Posted by Yoshi_FTL Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1083 days ago

Yes!!!!!its things like this that make me go thru the day at work

I am a fairly new user to the page, through my wife, who uses your site for lots of neat things for her phone. When I got tired of saying "where did that come from" I decided to log on and start looking for my own styles.

I just wanted to touch base, thank you, AND wish you another successful year.

WOOT !!!

If i could get passed these damn Gateway errors trying to load every page, maybe i could download it

 
 
Posted by cslave Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1083 days ago

agreed with Daves024...

also the mobile blog is rendering incorrectly on my BB for some reason...meh, anyways

great!!! :D im downloading it now

 
 
Posted by dynasti23 Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1083 days ago

What can I say Crackberry is off the chain...I've been up for the last couple of nights checking out the site...looking for different OS Beta system so far No problems yet! Thanks CrackBerry for making my phone what it is today!

 
 
Posted by mrk1979 Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1083 days ago

How's the new OS?

 
 
Posted by kjdoug Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1083 days ago

The pic posted for this article is wrong..some people might look at it and think they dont need to upgrade! This pic is of the .103/.109 hybrid! The platform version should read 4.0.0.136 if it is the actual 4.7.0.109 bb storm 9530 OS.

 
 
Posted by Smuuth Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1083 days ago

I would like to suggest all of the threads about hybrid builds in the Storm Beta OS Discussion forum be moved to a separate forum for hybrid OS discussion only. I have no problem with people building whatever form of OS they want on their own phone, but those hybrid builds are NOT Beta OS from RIM and discussion threads about them should be kept separate.

 
 
Posted by Nick2515 Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1083 days ago

Can any color scheme be chosen or only main body color?

 
 
Posted by MaestroE Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

This update is HUGE... perhaps the closest thing to an "official quality" release that I've seen yet. While the keyboard speed is once again back up(it's been down since .75), and the accelerometer and camera are faster, the greatest improvement is in the available memory. While I was consistently in the low 30's, I am now at a steady 43 mb of available memory!

Here's to the end of the memory leak problem!

Hay all I have downloaded this OS and put it up on my sight for download I just love getting these updates and is great to get them and I like spreading the happiness so go head and download it. I like to make things easy that is how I think about things. Again Thanks for them updates

Posted by cduru Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

Can anyone running .109 comment on the color degradation since 0.99? Is it still there? Plus, what specific improvements are there from 0.103 to 0.109? Thanks.

 
 
Posted by mrindsberg Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

Waiting for official OS update.....

 
 
Posted by AEDolfan Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

WOW! so far so good. Loaded rather quickly. Was not the horror story I have been reading about. Seems to be very quick and it has affected the accelerometer, in a positive way. Very fast, I noticed a problem with v.103, couldn't pick up phone fast enough. V.103 wouldn't let me transistion from horizontal to vertical to answer the phone, I would get the spinning clock. I hope this won't happen with V.109. I will keep you advised as I learn more.

Hey guys, I've been updating my OS faithfully sine .99. I have both .99 and .103 installed on my laptop pc. should i uninstall those before i install this one or does it matter?

 
 
Posted by cfralston Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

I am not sure it matters (and apparently it doesnt if you still have .99 installed when you updated to .103) but I do uninstall each os from my pc before updating. I do recommend keeping the install files incase you dont like the update. As a side note, i did have to unistall desktop manager, and reinstall, once because it wouldnt recognize the new OS.

 
 
Posted by AnonymousShane Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

Seems to be a lack of excitement on this release? Not many comments. Very unlike crackberry nation! Makes me wonder about the latest release when we don't hear from the likes of Crucial! :) I take his posts with respect!

 
 
Posted by NolanBerry Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

Where the heck is VZW and the OTA release on this! OMG...I have been waiting and waiting and STILL sporting the .75! WTF

 
 
Posted by Anonymous0001 Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

Same here... I've tried every leaked OS amd after a few hours had downgraded back to the functional.75 official OS! Just tired of the crashes with these leaked versions "really annoying"...

 
 
Posted by jef400dread Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

ive been clicking on the "download..." link since 10am then i click on the "try alternate mirror..." (only option on that page) and am STILL getting "Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: "Connection refused"
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time "

WHAT IS THE DEAAALLLL!!!!

 
 
Posted by podawk Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

The pic in the blog is for a hybrid os. .109 should have platform .136

 
 
Posted by yhwhsozo Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

Anyone having problems with this update and the last? I tend to get random reboots and the screen freezing up. I changed my theme back to the original theme. Had the AppleBerry recent new theme (which I really like). Maybe the theme change will help.

 
 
Posted by Syload Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

So far so good on the .109 upgrade, it seems stable, quicker, faster. The camera works good, we shall see in the next few days what happens.

 
 
Posted by joepoole Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

Has any one been experiencing substantial lag after sending a text, or opening a text? This is the second upgrade I've made and its so frustrating waiting on the phone

 
 
Posted by jonnierod4 Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

I got the same problem with the lag when I get a text message I can't open it right away and I can't stop the ringer. It also has been reboting alot lately its seems like ever since I updated to the .103 update. I hope the new update will fix that

 
 
Posted by Emwolb81 Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

I have also notice alot more random reboots with the appleberry theme... Much more often, being that I never had a problem before, this is really unusual... But I haven't upgrade to any beta updates, due to the BT video issues... I watch youtube on the subway so I would hate to lose that feature....

 
 
Posted by relly07 Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

Help! I downloaded the update successfully. I see it in my
update software options in bberry connect. But when i check it to update phone, it says no updates available and i'm still stuck with version .94

i'm using an unlocked storm on att's network. i even deleted the verizon file indicated in the "how to update OS system" instructions.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!!!!

 
 
Posted by jca5150 Wednesday, Feb 25, 2009 1082 days ago

you need to uninstall and reinstall BB desktop manager. Then reinstall the new firmware update and dont reboot. then launch bb manager and goto software upgrades and have your bb connected. that worked for me...

*not sure if that will work on the unlocked one though*

 
 
Posted by Machiavelli9350 Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1082 days ago

i like all the new os's coming out but verizon seriously needs to put out the official versions...... and thanks to all that have put thier storms up to the table and try out these leaks so it can at least give us the gist how long it will be b 4 an offcial update is sent out

 
 
Posted by heartlesslion84 Wednesday, Feb 25, 2009 1082 days ago

can anyone help me i downloaded the update which is the best so far but i only have one problem, when i try to send a mms picture the image does not come out its blank so how do i fix it?

 
 
Posted by jca5150 Wednesday, Feb 25, 2009 1082 days ago

this is way faster and seems to be more stable all around. I was running .75 I tried the firmware release before 109 and it sucked bad (forgot which rev it was) downgraded to .75 and then to .109 .
This is a huge improvement in every way.
faster scrolling
faster program transitions
camera is about 4x faster (still could be better)
graphics seem okay on main icon page
and the landscape/portrait seems to be improved
thats all for now
good luck!

 
 
Posted by rymonkey Wednesday, Feb 25, 2009 1082 days ago

My Storm is the most responsive its ever been after installing the newest update. I've been a little pissed w/ the responsiveness so far but this update is awesome. Thx Thx to those who keep finding them.

 
 
Posted by nativeray911 Wednesday, Feb 25, 2009 1081 days ago

I'm waiting on the Official release. Does anybody know when this will happen. I notice as I add the new apps that come out the more the Storm slows down. Hopefully the new OS will fix this.
