Here it is... the eagerly anticipated OS 4.7.0.114 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530!

* Update: OS 4.7.0.114 now available for the Storm 9500 too >> *

Please Note: 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 and learn the ins and outs of beta releases. Keep in mind that these leaked OS's sometimes take a step backwards in one area while making a leap forward in another. If you're on the fence, you're best off waiting until the findings threads fills up with some data. Fingers are crossed that this is a good one!

anyone notice .114 seems a bit sluggish compared to .109?

Posted by hmbixler Thursday, Mar 12, 2009 1063 days ago

I noticed it being sluggish.

I noticed this as well. I'm sure it will be addressed.

is sluggish. you cant use the WHERE app. and when u got a voice mail u can hear it cuz instead of dial pad to come up da keyboard comes up. whens the other update coming.

Posted by PhinsPhan25 Friday, Mar 13, 2009 1062 days ago

I uploaded it last night...not only sluggish, it wouldn't let me put in my password to access my voicemail!! I re-installed .109. So far, .109 is the ticket!

Posted by shaydlife Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1065 days ago

I was terrified to try .109, but everything turned out fine. With that said, I'll be waiting to see what people think about this version.

Posted by rocketjrb Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1065 days ago

.114 has the updated copy/select

Posted by nabsball16 Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1065 days ago

Don't we all, just be glad we have others to keep us semi-updated in the meantime.

Nice, been waiting for this... Thanks!!!

Is this a legit leak or a hybrid OS?

Posted by toyman300 Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1064 days ago

Go on have at it... its legit. Be advised though- there may be quirks. My advice? if you can still get .109, get it and go with that for now.

*Update*

Rolled back to .109- My advice? stay put. If 109 is running clean then its worth holding on to.

Let the madness begin...

Posted by ZachSpeed1 Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1065 days ago

is soooo slow. need this to be released ASAP

Posted by thecybernerd Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1065 days ago

Thank You for leaking this!

Posted by ress626 Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1065 days ago

i need someone to hold my hand and teach me how to install an OS..last time i tried it said fatal error occured

Posted by dlappjr Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1064 days ago

So lets start by opening Desktop Manager with the storm plugged into the usb port. Once Desktop Manager (note: DM will be used for the rest of this description) is open, select Backup and Restore. Select Backup(leave options alone) Save the Backup file into your documents folder. Once that is done, its time to install the new OS. Disconnect the storm from the computer and shut DM. if you have the new OS file on the desktop, double click it and install it on the PC. Once that is done, connect the storm to the computer again and launch DM. From the Main Menu in DM, select Application Loader.
Select Update Software. You will see both previous versions (.65, .75) as well as the new version 4.7.0.114. click the selection box for the new OS. Click next and unless prompted to do anything, WALK AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER. This could take a while so make sure if your on a laptop that the power cord is plugged in. Skipping this will be deadly! If the PC loses power for any reason during installation, you will be SCREWED! Hope this helps, if you have any ?s, PM me.

On the DM after downloading the new OS the only updates that it comes up with are version 4.7 and 4.7.0
I do not see 4.7.0.114. on there at all. Am I doing something wrong?
I really want this update!

Posted by toyman300 Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1064 days ago

Very important step in addition to the steps you were given... Once you install the update, DISCONNECT from the internet before you start the update. Otherwise it looks for the update over the internet and will tell you there there is no update found.

Seen a lot of folks asking what the issue is after installing the update and typically the issue is that they didnt disconnect. If nothing else pull the network cable to be sure.

ok- go for it and if you need help feel free. Ive been though all the leaks and had a issue here and there but got them all to load.

Thank a lot.

Posted by electricgreek Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1065 days ago

i have an unlocked storm (AT&T) I just installed it and i'm about to cream my pants . EDGE/edge issue looks to be resolved too

Posted by metalmancpa Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1065 days ago

I'm still on .75 and will stay there until the official OTA update is rolled out. That is, if there ever will be an official update.

Posted by Erinhartman Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1064 days ago

You don't know what you are missing. I'm on 103 and love it! I was ready to turn my BB in to go back to my Treo but the updates have assured me that there is hope! I can't wait to see what the changes are on this one. I haven't downloaded the 109 b/c no one seems that impressed. The difference btwn 85 and 103 is fabulous!

Enjoy your BB! And Happy St Patrick's day to be!

Posted by TheLastOf Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1065 days ago

Oh yeah, I'm on .109 and I know I'm about to try this out. Major thanks!

If I see one more leaked OS before the next OTA update I am taking my Storm back to the Verizon store. Still rockin' the .75 and I am expecting an OTA update soon. What is the point of having OTA updates if they don't release them.

Posted by blacktoothberry Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1064 days ago

Call verizon and find out

Posted by ram13baseball Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1065 days ago

Brilliant, No problems at all, Thanks Again!!

Posted by WutTheDuece Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1065 days ago

Lovin' the leaked updates!! Kevin rox!! Still rocking .75 but like seeing all the features and cant wait to get them all in one package in the official OTA!!!

Posted by cjcarbone Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1065 days ago

that is all....oh & thx

Posted by Blueberry-Storm Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1065 days ago

I have downloaded and installed .114. the update seemed to be quicker but had more blackberry core apps updated. I will beat it up for a few and then post what I find. Thanks for the update.

Posted by Blakey Boy Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1065 days ago

Holy smokes! I just updated to .99 tonight and I'm loving it. It was much better then .90

I am going to wait a few days and see if I get any problems or errors. If not, I will definitely keep it and give .114 a try though to see how it is.
Until then, I will stick with .99 because I'm loving it!
Thanks!!!

Posted by mzarag01 Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1065 days ago
