Leaked: OS 5.0.0.100 for the Bold and Curve 8900!

on 11 Jun 2009 07:54 AM

BlackBerry OS 5.0.0.100 for the BlackBerry Bold and Curve 8900

Wanting to give OS 5.0 for the BlackBerry Bold or Curve 8900 another go? The last we posted in the blogs on OS 5.0 it was version 5.0.0.93 that was available, but now 5.0.0.100 has popped up in the wild for these same devices. CrackBerry junkies may want to give this newer version a download and install (download for Bold; for Curve 8900, but keep in mind that many of your existing apps may not yet work properly with this newer OS (BlackBerry JDE 5.0 is now available to developers, so the apps should catch up with the OS quick).

I should also point out here that I set up a new blog post category for "BlackBerry OS" so you can always/easily find the list of recent unofficial OSs that have been blogged about.

*OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. 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. *

anyone have try

Posted by briankeith513 Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Whats up with this?

Posted by crackberryn00b Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Considering that these are "leaks", they aren't going to come out with any scheduled regularity. We kinda just have to take what we can get.

.148 for the Storm just released officially so there really isn't anyone to get mad at...yet.

Seeing that the Storm has been getting transitional animations and a little more snappy, I'd say that they are probably holding onto the later builds a little tighter than they were before.

A comprehensive update is worth the wait. Give them a little more time to perfect it.

(But yes, a leak would be very nice)

Posted by drummer07 Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

rim doesn't care about the storm, thats why they are releasing the storm 2. they just forget about the first failure.

gona install in a few min, downloading now

Posted by bgwavrder Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

I've been waiting to upgrade from .93 on both my 8900 and 9000. Got to say that .93 is a little less buggier on the 8900. Hopefully this upgrade will work with more apps and get rid of some of the lag on my Bold.

Posted by pilotnh Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Just another kick in the groin to Storm owners.

Posted by rj5570 Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

We are not getting any lovin'. Verizon issues a software already leaked, and we have not gotten anything new for weeks. I am sad :(

Posted by pmich Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

I'm so tired of hearing people complain. over the last 3 weeks, all i've seen are updates for the Storm and nothing for the bold so what do you guys want now? Be patient, obviously they're still working on updates all the time.

So frustrating...

Posted by GpCaptMandrake Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Over the last three weeks there has been one release, .148.

The Storm still hasn't seen a 5.0 leak.

Posted by amtkaushik Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

I hope FB, Google apps work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey noticed the size its just 100 mb. whats missing from this????

Posted by BuddyBlackberry Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Already download it but haven't installed it yet. Because i don't want to take the time to downgrade if it doesn't work with my apps. I will give it a shot on the Bold and see if it works then put it on the 8900.

Posted by flamingkitties Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Someone with a Bold tell me it's a dream come true so I can finally have a go with it, puhleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

Posted by michaelalanjones Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

I downloaded it, but I am not going to waste the time to install and downgrade it, if these apps don't work.

Posted by jforce Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Which apps exactly don't work with this version? I would not want to lose the browser for sure.

It would be nice to have Facebook 1.6 working with this version, but I somehow doubt that. Can anyone confirm? Please let us know if any other basic or popular apps aren't working as well.

Thanks.

Works pretty fine, any chance to get german language pack somewhere?

Posted by geodorn Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

You could use the language files from 5.0.0.93
If you look at the BlackBerry.alx you see that the following files are required for the German language (just search for __de):
net_rim_runtime_resource__de.cod
net_rim_bb_resource__de.cod
net_rim_bb_diagnostic_resource__de.cod
net_rim_tid_dynamic_ling_data_german_45k_2.cod
net_rim_wlan_bb_resource__de.cod
net_rim_wlan_runtime_resource__de.cod
net_rim_bb_elt_resource__de.cod
net_rim_bbapi_pim_res__de.cod
net_rim_bbapi_messagelist_res__de.cod
net_rim_crypto_resource__de.cod
net_rim_vad_resource__de.cod
net_rim_vad_engine_resource__de.cod
net_rim_secureemail_resource__de.cod
net_rim_bb_ldap_resource__de.cod
Copy these files from the Java folder of the 5.0.0.93 installation to the 5.0.0.100 Java folder.
Afterwards the loader.exe will offer the German language support which was missing before.

Posted by amtkaushik Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Dear kaosmanifest,

Any inputs on FB1.6 & Google talk please!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

Posted by laurenchantel Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

does msn, and all the apps from blackberry app world work??
SOMEONE PLEASE LIST WHAT APPS WORK AND WHAT APPS DO NOT!!
THANK U! :)

Posted by kaosmanifest Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

FB 1.6 doesn´t seem to work, can´t even download it with the hotspot browser. page says device is not compatible. other experiences?

Posted by melodeezee Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

If you want to know what apps work and what apps don't then you should download yourself and upgrade to find out.

Posted by laurenchantel Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

im not going to waste my time upgrading, when things arent going to work. There are people that upgrade anyways, and take the chance. Id like to know from THEM, what apps work or not. Thank you for your comment! :)

Posted by miller7796 Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Right, instead you can just HOPE that the person who is posting what apps work and do not just happens to have all of the same apps as you. It shouldn't take you more than an hour to upgrade/downgrade if you have to. If you don't have that little of time to take out of your life, then I don't envy your schedule.

Posted by Jeremey Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Any new updates as to if MSN works? Facebook 1.5 or 1.6 preferably? I have downloaded the file but I am still unsure if it is worth it. Please update us all someone who has installed the update and what they have experienced. Thank you.

Posted by Jeremey Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

I think people would rather someone else brick their phone then us to be honest :) Hows that :)

Posted by mfulmer Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Downloading now. I am not sure if I will take the plunge until reading some feedback from braver individuals. The first thing I notice though is the file size is much smaller than previous OS files.

Posted by thisIsBoom Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Chill out. Maybe there hasn't been a 5.0 leak because there's a specific version that's made for our phones... and not just a touch compatible version of these. I know that's big talk (especially when we're talking about RIM and VZW) but anything's possible at this point.

Posted by tramane Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Does Facebook Work?
Thats my only requirement!

Posted by tramane Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Is there a facebook .alx and .cod out there.
that we can download to PC and install via App Loader?
Can someone pull that out?
Im not certain on how to do that.

Posted by BhamBB Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

I just recently purchased my Bold (about 3 weeks ago...and love it), but i wanted to know if there was a place i can go to make sure i have the latest and greatest OS....any help?

Posted by BhamBB Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

My current OS is v4.6.0.167 (Platform 4.0.0.157)

Posted by gk527 Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Rapidshare is blocking the file from being able to download. At least for me anyway...

Posted by ruhrohs Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Posted by babelac Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

This file is suspected to contain illegal content and has been blocked. After the file has been blocked for 7 days it will automatically be deleted, if the block is not removed by RapidShare. For this reason, a download of this file is currently not possible.

Posted by michaelalanjones Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

I know it seems silly for me to not upgrade, just because Facebook doesn't work with it, but really, I have a lot of peeps on Facebook now, and I want them to be able to reach me. I have relatives from England and friends from India and Australia, and they all use Facebook to communicate.

So even though Facebook started out for teenagers, my wife and I use it a lot (we're in our 40's). She gets in touch with old college and high school chums. I heard the reason Facebook doesn't work is because it uses special API's and that compatibility is broken with 5.0, and RIM will probably write a special 5.0+ version in the future.

Honestly, we shouldn't even have the 5.0 version yet, anyway, but we are spoiled with versions. Spoiled, I tell you!

Posted by areiku Thursday, Jun 11, 2009 967 days ago

Nice try, but Viigo and Tetherberry doesn't work. Overall, it is not very stable, as you go through apps, it is shakes. BB turns faster, and there is some new icons, like weather app, radio etc., but nothing that would catch the eye. Gave error during install - Blackberry Messenger not installed, but turned on and looks like it worked after all.

You can play around with it, but for day to day operations it is not ready. Rolled back to official AT&T ver.
