Leaked: OS 5.0.0.323 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530!

OS 5.0.0.323 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530

I noticed a thread in the CrackBerry forums yesterday begging the OS leak gods to drop 5.0.0.317 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530 sometime soon. Not wanting to let anybody down, I thought we could do one better... so here's OS 5.0.0.323 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530. Word is this potentially has what it takes to become the official 5.0 build that first gets rolled out, but keep in mind that can always change. But one thing is for sure... with so many Storm1 owners waiting for Verizon to announce Storm2, there has never been a better time for a leak to keep everyone occupied! Be sure to check the forums for findings. And while you're waiting for the OS to download and install, you can kill the time by watching some Entry Videos in our I Love My CrackBerry Contest!

*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. *

Took nearly an hour and 15 minutes to download in Afghanistan. Remote access to my server in Texas was able to download it in two and a half minutes. I miss being in the states...

I just downloaded .230 too...guess I will install this instead

By: LoSt180 | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 06:44

I almost caved and was planning on trying out .230 today as well. Guess that's not happening! LOL

By: FEHE13Y | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 16:35

i'm gonna wait for reviews on this cuz for me .230 has been the best OS yet. the only problem i have with it is the berryweather icon doesn't update on the home screen. other than that, the browser cooks and the camera works so much better.

Wow ur da man

By: jonathon_flores | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 01:55

i didnt think it could get better than .230 hmmm maybe this will fix some minor bugs..i was going to install via mac but i think imma do it on windows via vmware fusion.

By: ChuckH0308 | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 01:56

Holy crud...thanks Kevin! Guess I'm not going to bed yet!

By: uknow85 | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 02:02

everytime i put in the 4 letter code for it to download it takes me back to put in another code ugh why?? help? and how is the new os so far?

By: jonathon_flores | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 02:19

you put the code in once and then it gives you a timer..dont click on the download link again...when the timer goes out, it will give you the premium download option or the regular download option...i usually just do the regular one..

By: mph122074 | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 02:20

WOW the google sync contacts worked after i installed this new OS to my phone...

ITS A GREAT DAY!!!

Weatherbug homepage is updating is the first fix that I have noticed, already stoked!

By: bryan.grider | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 03:03

HAHA not the first update I noticed...

The first thing I noticed is the computer to BB connect is different, the BB icon is no longer an ipod looking thing instead it has the BB logo, and a few lines indication something like the Bold/Tour.

Finishing up right now got about 1 min left. Yea to weatherbug hopefully meterberry is compatible again I miss it.

By: jonathon_flores | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 03:14

*a few different icons...the sms icon is different and so is the files icon in the applications folder...
*it went back to 1XEV lol
*i was having issues with my videos in .230, it wouldnt let me loop or shuffle/play next video. i still cant do it on .323

anybody find anything else?

By: FEHE13Y | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 16:37

Thank thy BlackBerry Lords!!! I've been waiting on a good leak for the past couple of days now, question is now am I going to go to school, or install this. ? Lol..

By: drew_berry | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 06:29

just finished up the install and the 3g went away and is back to 1EV... kinda sucks, what sucks even more is the browser won't work at all now .230 already seems better. anyone else having same issue?

By: rbrown2123 | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 07:02

Just as Drew Berry stated just do a battery pull and the browser should work fine. Heres my PIN 305F1FDF

By: drew_berry | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 06:33

does quick pull work for anyone? how about the pandora bug?

By: oriond | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 19:41

Pandora still freezes with 23-25sec's remaining. The pause->play work around still works (yes still annoying). Come on pandora/RIM - fix this!

By: drew_berry | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 06:40

battery pull did the trick browser is running... seems a bit slow... still miss the 3g though that's for sure. oh well we'll have another leak pretty soon anyway.

By: guitar2989 | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 06:47

Finally!!!!

By: buritoslicer | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 07:15

A lot of things were fixed like the problems I was having with my bluetooth headphones. Seems like a faster more stable release, I am very psyched!

By: Messiah4976 | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 07:38

I've never done an OS install and i'm a Mac owner. So i have a question. If i download this .exe file will i be able to upload this from my Mac? Or will i have to wait until someone creates a .dmg file for the Mac? Thanks in advance

By: UPSTREAMMIAMI | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 07:45

for the tmobile users any ones knows if it stopped doing the no circuit problem ??????

By: BennyBlanco419 | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 08:29

my job blocked the sites to download the os they suck!

By: GargoyleDC | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 08:30

I want to know when will OS support landscape backgrounds? :(

By: cduru | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 08:42

does pandora work? is that fixed?

By: oriond | Date: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 19:41

Pandora still freezes with 23-25sec's remaining. The pause->play work around still works (yes still annoying). Come on pandora/RIM - fix this!
