Leaked: OS 5.0.0.371 For The BlackBerry Bold 9700

Been waiting for a newer OS for your BlackBerry Bold 9700? While I am currently happy with my OS 5.0.0.351 BlackBerry Bold 9700 users will be happy to know OS 5.0.0.371 has leaked onto the interwebs. Remember, all disclaimers are in order here.

*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. *

Where are all the leaks for the Tour??

 
 
Posted by DolfanCole Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Ditto! Been a long time since a 5.0 leak for the Tour and the last one was crap.

 
 
Posted by th3blinded Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Enough about the damn Tour! Go in the Tour forums and ask about it there. Lets leave this comments thread for information about the 9700.

 
 
Posted by magikweis Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

@weedr. Who needs a tour ? That´s crappy CDMA ;-)

It´s coming, trust me

 
 
Posted by UPSTREAMMIAMI Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

love the 9700 even more thanx crackberry

 
 
Posted by syquest1 Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

I will make you a good deal. Its obvious no official 5.0 is EVER coming for it.

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

There seems to be more 9700 leaks more than any other BlackBerry. :D Love it! Hopefully this one brings a few new things to the table.

 
 
Posted by BuddyBlackberry Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

I hope this one is better than the Official .351. The OS is golden; but when it comes to processing the data, it blows. I hope this one has a faster data processing rate.

 
 
Posted by SHoTTa35 Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Well for you guys, i figured that RS link will die in a bit so i downloaded it and uploaded it to MegaUpload (super faster upload from work :) )

Posted by Matrix78 Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Thanks the original link was slower than dirt

 
 
Posted by Crunch Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

What's with the biweekly 9700 leaks? Have any new features been introduced?

 
 
Posted by steven_a1991 Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

8900 please...

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

I just finished installing it and will report back with OS stats.

 
 
Posted by dylanmail Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Here's hoping this is a good sign that a new Storm 1 leak is around the corner.

 
 
Posted by NCREDIBLE GARY Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Damn, another leaked for the 9700???!!! Where's a leaked for the 9550???

 
 
Posted by mmoses86 Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

can we start a thread on this and have people post there findings on the new os

 
 
Posted by tamazoid Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

OS 5.0 for the 9000 as well please!

 
 
Posted by wojtas25 Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Don't worry, wi will get *.390 soon for ours "B1" ;)

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

I have a T-Mobile 9700:

1.I just installed and its up and running. The Myfaves screen is back! :) (but it wont show the icons on the home screen, it just shows the MyFaves button and not the actual contacts)
2.Mobile Backup is also back! :)
3.Audio Postcard is also back! :)
4.You can now edit your MyFaves icons from within the options menu, you can change from "Circle" view to "List" view.
5.I'm not getting EDGE or 3G haha just edge. I will reboot and hopefully that works.
6.Messages and SMS/MSS have their own separate folders.

If I find anything else I will let ya know.

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Ok so after a battery pull:

1.MyFaves contacts now show up on home screen.
2. I am getting EDGE now lol
3.Bootup time is the same
4.Themes editing is not the default boring looking one its back to the cool 5.0 one.

 
 
Posted by amirnabilkamelsaad Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

So...it's an ATT build since you aren't getting 3G...with the T-Mobile layout...sweet :D

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

One more thing!!

When you click on a MyFaves contact there will be a ring of options around that contact with the following!

1.Send IM
2.Send EMail
3.Send Message
4.Call
5.Activity Log
6.Send Wave hello. WTF is that!!!
7.Send Audio Post Card

I'll post up a screen shot of this!

 
 
Posted by remipmc Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

i am assuming send wave would have something to do with the google wave application. i have not seen any mobile apps around that yet, in fact the whole thing is still invite only. anyone want an invite let me know, i have 6 left

 
 
Posted by mail2aj Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 801 days ago

Don't mind an invite.

 
 
Posted by msilva22 Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

So does this mean no more 3G? just Edge? please let me know gonna install now, pending your answer.

 
 
Posted by kndL Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Posted by s2kneSs Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Any Bold 9700 on ATT testers for this file yet?
Would like to know the hickups before jumping into something new here.
P.S.: I'm getting too old to try out betas that might go bad on me...lol

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

There is 3G and EDGE, i just needed to do a battery pull.

The "Send Wave" option lets you select what type of Wave. You can send Hug,Kiss, or just wave, you can even send a custom wave.

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

There "Wave" thing is also up on the T-Mobile site! Go to your MyFaves section on the site and you can send Waves,Hugs,Kisses from there! Awesome! haha!

 
 
Posted by pbc Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Downloaded it (Rogers user on a BES Account).

No issues noted thus far. Not sure what the "SMS txt" issue was in the first place so can't comment on if it's fixed. Also just picked up my 9700 yesterday ...

 
 
Posted by remipmc Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

i was hoping RIM was anticipating google wave, wishful thinking i guess

 
 
Posted by slava888 Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

pbc,
For any numbers in a xxx-xxx-xxxx or (xxx) xxx-xxxx format, the number gets displayed in the SMS window, instead of the Contact name.You had to change it to a xxxxxxxxx format in order to see the name. Is this fixed?
Also, how is the battery life? .351 is horrible compared to .321

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Slava888:

Thats still an issue.

 
 
Posted by amirnabilkamelsaad Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

If Battery is still an issue, this build is no good
P.S.: with the exception of having OS 5 with a good battery life on .297, the old Bold 9000 outperforms in 4.6.0.247 battery life, boot time, screen res, audio quality, screen size and keyboard.

Posted by bholzgen Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Please a leak for the Tour or even, dare I say, an official 5.0 update?!

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

amirnabilkamelsaad: Battery isn't an issue at all. Overall this is the best OS for the 9700.

 
 
Posted by Furell Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Thanks to SHoTTa35 for the fast link! Downloading now, I will post in the forums after reload. I love the smell of New OS in the morning! BTW ATT 9700 here and this thing is ROCKS!

 
 
Posted by syb0rg Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

I might have to give this Beta a shot. Not worried about the my fave five dealieo. With EM+ unlimited EVERYTHING I get my fave USA and PR.

 
 
Posted by impalass96 Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

@SHoTTa35 thanks for the new link!

 
 
Posted by wsutter Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

I did a battery pull and it took at least 10 min to boot up is the only known issue right now, and the names still dont display in the sms folder.

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

wsutter: It takes about 1 minute for mine to boot up everytime I do a battery pull.

 
 
Posted by ju1ce Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 801 days ago

I think it depends on the amount of data on your phone. When i first bought it, it loaded very quickly. after i put everything on, including my 500 memos and all my apps, a few more mins were tacked on. still faster then wut i was used to

 
 
Posted by callcom Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

First time I have experienced this. I keep all my phone numbers as 11 digits (no dashes), in my contact log. Noticed that the delivery report is working again in this build for SMS messages. Boot time for me after a battery pull is about 3 minutes. MyFaves is back, and now I keep getting messages from TMO saying that the icon is invalid (still trying to figure this one out).

 
 
Posted by Rob128 Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Bold not getting any love???

 
 
Posted by pbc Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

As someone else mentioned, SMS still shows up as a phone number instead of the contact name (just tried it).

Man this thing is lightening fast compared to my old 8310.

 
 
Posted by WazzuKirk Tuesday, Dec 01, 2009 802 days ago

Some of the 8900 and Tour themes I have installed will sketch and smear colors when I scroll in the menus. I am just sticking with the standard themes. Other than that, it's awesome!
