Another week, another leaked operating system for one BlackBerry device or another. This time it's OS 5.0.0.230 for the BlackBerry Tour! These newer OS 5.0 builds are getting pretty sweet, so hopefully one of these days soon RIM will just release it for reals. Read the disclaimer and check the forums for feedback. Enjoy!

*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. *

i wont be switching til bbm 5 works with these...

BBM 5.0 is now compatible with OS 5.0... the BBM 5.0 needs to be downloaded from the app world..

Posted by rachel2009 Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

I just got the Tour with Verizon today. I have had the Bold with AT&T since it came out. This OS is not very good. The phone is extremely slow and takes a while to open up. It has the stock 4.7.140 version.

Posted by hacktheberry Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

phone is slow to boot.. but thats about it.. even with the stock software. blackberry phones dont get powered on/off often so that shouldnt be an issue.

Posted by Jeremiah818 Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

Isn't there a leak with the same version for the Storm? And will BBM 5 work?

Posted by Jared DiPane Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

sadly bbm5 will not work on any of the os5 leaks, until a new version is released.

Posted by avacomputers Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

Can't wait to try this sucker.

Posted by djg08642 Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

Does the Facebook app not work on the previous leak because it's OS 5.0 or is there a chance the app would work with this new leak?

Posted by VDub2174 Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009 870 days ago

Looks like the new version of FB works with the 5.0 OS

Posted by buckle.vzw Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

is now free.

Posted by mindbodysoul114 Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

Posted by PerryNY Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

Is there anyway to download this OS using a Mac? I have desktop manger for my mac.

Posted by rachel2009 Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

do you have the mac desktop manager leak? i got a mac a couple of months ago and just backed up on the pocket mac. I guess I will wait for the official release on 9/25.

Posted by PerryNY Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

Posted by blankcds87 Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

Posted by urmomFTW Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

Heyyyy, is it just me or is Crackberry looking a little cosmetically tweaked? If my mind isnt playing tricks on me...I LIKE IT!

Kevin, input?

Posted by Kevin Michaluk Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

yup, it's tweaked... more more tweaks to come still but cleaning it up a bit. little bit of de-cluttering and modernizing.

Posted by urbanricer11 Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

give me back my facebook....hurry up 1.7

Posted by lafecrick Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

Applications app can be filtered by "Third Party", "Add-on", and "Core"
Threaded SMS
New Explorer utility called Files
Changed icon to 3G instead of EVDO plus the BB flag for bb services, i assume
Can change the screen layout using home screen preferences

anyone know if facebook works??

Posted by LuLu051705 Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

It's leaked. I'll wait for the OFFICIAL upgrade because the last time I tried a leaked version of anything it messed up and didn't work right. I'd rather wait than be aggravated with glitches. COME ON RIM WITH THE OFFICIAL 5.0 OS!!!!

Posted by tarishaclark Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

no facebook :-(

Posted by RIMFanatic84 Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

Nope, No Facebook, and i noticed a few times it screwed up my home screen and messed up all the icons i had set up the way i wanted them, other than that for the little while i have it on my tour i havent noticed anything that i benefited from the upgrade.

Posted by phinx404 Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

You can download it from my website as well... Split some of the bandwidth. :)

Thank you for the link. (c:

Posted by MotivelessCrime Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009 870 days ago

The new OS is awesome! Not much of a change visually but the speed is improved plus SMS is threaded. Facebook DOES NOT WORK. Be forewarned. Just use the mobile site until the actual release. Otherwise no issues, the install is amazingly simple and auto-piloted. Be prepared to restart your system after installation.

UPDATE! 24 hours later released the new updated Facebook that works on this leaked OS! http://crackberry.com/facebook-version-1-6-0-22-launches-bringing-os-5-0...

PS After 24 hours of use I can say I greatly prefer this leak to anything 4.7 provided. Oddly enough it has less glitches and with Facebook now supported I have no reason to revert back.

Posted by Yngpapii916 Monday, Sep 28, 2009 864 days ago

Hey was wondering if you saved the file & would be able to send it?? the leaked links online have either expired or are not downloading correctly. If you have it please let me know or could you send it to yngpapii916@gmail.com (subject: Tour 5.0.0.230 OS) Thanks!

Posted by Anthry1783 Wednesday, Nov 04, 2009 827 days ago

If you dont mind, would you be able to share this? aparantly the site will not let me get this. let me know i greatly appreciate that!

Posted by iLovemy_bb Monday, Sep 21, 2009 871 days ago

I have a Curve 8900 but can't wait until these OS 5.0's are officially released..i's killing...wanna see??? http://www.lifeofblackberry.blogspot.com

Posted by keylacy Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 871 days ago

doesnt work for me. luckily i have beejive, which gave me problems with the new beta at first. but i uninstalled 1.96 and installed 1.1.1 for beejive did a battery pull and it works fine. i am also running socialscope well. great boot up time....just wish i cud get bbm 5 on here...oh well i cant have it all right!

Posted by brian.tregerman Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 871 days ago

is it possible ot dl any of these leaks ota?

Posted by douglaswilson Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 871 days ago

as i learned yesterday 105 in the branding version means Verizon. Is this leak for Verizon?

Posted by goffmj Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 871 days ago

I've just given up complete hope for the 8330. :(

Posted by JHL78 Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 871 days ago

so buy a new blackberry

Posted by clexman Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 871 days ago

Installed it & it runs great. All my apps work with the exception of the RIM apps (app world, Facebook, IM). TeleNav works too.

Themes work, but some look slightly different. The "M" at the end of AM or PM is cut off on the full app screen on my favorite free theme, "PW1 Shao-Soft.com"

edit: QuickPull doesn't work

Posted by bobbac123 Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 871 days ago

thanks for the post

Posted by sefiroh Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 871 days ago

is it strange that this is the same call out for the latest storm leak? i know there may be a difference in platform but still.....don't think i've seen this before.
