Leaked: OS 5.0.0.419 for the BlackBerry Tour 9630

Tour 9630 OS

The time has finally come - Tour users have endured endless OS leaks with no love of their own, but BBleaks has just posted OS 5.0.0.419 for the Tour 9630 which is a decent step up from the last leaked OS. No reports on whats good, bad or indifferent, so if you feel like giving it a go be sure to drop a comment and let us know how it is. Keep in mind (as usual) this is not an official OS, so install at your own risk.

*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. *

Kevin, keep the Tour update on your first page as long as you can since Tour review was most commented and viewed in 2009 please!

if this is redundant I'm sorry but it's important because there are a TON of tour users now-

the update was fast as hell! -all I did was
1. uninstalled on xp- 5.0.0.230
2. restarted
3. installed 5.0.0.419
4. removed vendor file on xp: c:\program files\common files \research in motion\apploader\vendor.xml
5. don't have vista don't know where to delete it at-
6. plugged phone in opened desktop manager 5.1
it automatically located update, and backed up and updated phone
it kept my own personal theme without going default which rules ! That's a first totally!

the Font is even more high res woah- 480x360 screen is badass

so far- it kept all my 5.0 themes (that I made with themebuilder 5.0 which is a plus! and sprint tv, nav, and surepress had more features to include)
the device initialization was FAST not 10 minutes or more like with curve 4.5 or previous update on Tour- more like 4-6 minutes (and I have a slow ass E-machine lol-
in fact I listened to 7 Lords of acid songs and it was finished)the restore for blackberry groups is what takes forever- maybe 27 bbm contacts has something to do with that=- the restore took longer than the update in fact before restore finished i had blinking light from bbm messages from groups and contacts- got newest messenger of course)
it's already better- FACT
I have transitions on my themes and this os is WAY faster no lag on transitions

Do the upgrade! I promise you'll like the Speed alone
I miss the smooth scrolling 4.7.1.53/7 had for appworld and facebok cuz with 4.7.1 facebook & appworld scrolls smoothly

Awaaaaahhhhh wth

 
 
Posted by robotaholic Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 769 days ago

the list for themes is a huge list with clear big pictures of each theme

this is a lot different than .230
and it restored EVERYTHING too-
so far everything good good good!

with .230 it forgot when rebooting home only, my ubertwitter sound profile setting etc.. this one doesn't

they fixed a lot of things-

changing themes took 3 seconds. flat out! no joke WOAH!! holy shit!

 
 
Posted by bk5150 Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 768 days ago

wait, you have more themes??

 
 
Posted by robotaholic Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 768 days ago

the way it displays themes to select is different-

 
 
Posted by joshua.worth Friday, Jan 08, 2010 765 days ago

You have more options in the themes menu now. You can tweak your themes.

 
 
Posted by ajtouchstone Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

Adam, the link text has the incorrect version number. :)

 
 
Posted by robotaholic Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 769 days ago

had to send service books for data so if you don't know how to log into your bis account and send service books, your bbm will work but not web or appworld

 
 
Posted by Pathtek4 Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

NOw time to install!

 
 
Posted by andy957 Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

Your title says 5.0.0.419 but the first link says 5.0.0.149. I presume it's 419 (since the last one I saw was .230).

 
 
Posted by PROB1 Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

When I click the link for the OS Forum it opens the discussion for Tour 9630 5.0.0.303 leak?

Posted by David2g Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

i just took battery out and put back in while plugged up and it started working...almost done....

 
 
Posted by mlm5em Thursday, Jan 07, 2010 766 days ago

Same thing keeps happening to me, did a battery pull and everything. The loading bar on the device just gets stuck around 70%. Any Advice?

 
 
Posted by chango490 Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

Just loaded this one and it updated pretty fast. No problems so far. Will update on any problems.

 
 
Posted by chango490 Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

btw I wouldn't be surprised if this is close to official.

 
 
Posted by mookish Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

Now I can sound like a tour owner and say: WTF no 9700 leak? waaaaaaa!

 
 
Posted by drozek Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

Awesome it has a program called MessageSchedule lets you schedule sms and email at any set time awesome.

 
 
Posted by lfmasieri Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 768 days ago

Where did you find this? I don't see it anywhere....

 
 
Posted by specializ3dg Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 768 days ago

I didn't find that either!

 
 
Posted by christanicole Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

just downloaded to my desktop an it says its v5.0.1 but when it pulls up to update it says version 4.7 what is wrong with it how do i get 5.0 to download to my phone

 
 
Posted by robotaholic Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

you gotta go to program files/common files/research in motion/apploader/ delete vendor.xml

then just doubleclick on apploader and it will force it to update your phone

make sure to check all the options you want installed
:)

 
 
Posted by Yngpapii916 Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

how do you do this on vista ?? i cant find program files , or common files..

 
 
Posted by bk5150 Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 768 days ago

I don't know if this will work for you or not, it did for me. I followed the instructions above save deleting the "vendor" file, couldn't find it either. went forth with the install and blam flawless victory!!

Good luck hope it helps.

 
 
Posted by NastyNeil Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

I did all that and deleted the vendor file and still no dice. When I open app loader it only shows my apps. Any suggestions?

 
 
Posted by NastyNeil Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

Should I get rid of the auto update folder?

 
 
Posted by elb2392 Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

Ok, I might be weird, but I just upgraded from 4.7 and I was really excited to see the 3G symbol in the top right hand corner of my screen. I upgraded and it still says 1XEV. Anyone tell me why??

 
 
Posted by kooratz Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

I think its determined by the carrier on what shows up. I'm on Telus in Canada and my Tour has always said 1XEV. I could be horribly wrong too :)

 
 
Posted by BeeRad Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

On the .230 build the 3G logo appeared and it just made me happy. Now with this build, the STUPID 1XEV logo is back. I don't get it.

I don't like the semi-transparent bars for the icons on the main screen.

To each their own I guess. :/

 
 
Posted by etheridgej Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

I beleive that its the carriers choice, i think CDMA phones show XEV for EVDO and GSM carriers display 3G. Correct me if i'm wrong people. Hope this helps :]

 
 
Posted by aledc78 Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

You are right etheridgej....

For CDMA users the 1XEV (notice the uppercase) means 3G coverage. the 1xev (lowercase) means no 3G coverage...

 
 
Posted by BeeRad Tuesday, Jan 05, 2010 768 days ago

3G logo shows on my Verizon Storm 2. :p

No matter how much we spread the knowledge, most people don't understand "1XEV", but they DO understand "3G".

Honestly, do you hear Verizons own commercials touting...."more 1XEV coverage in more places, Verizon Wireless". No, you don't. It's confusing.

Just sayin......

 
 
Posted by theonlychoman Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 767 days ago

I agree with BeeRad....after upgrading the OS from .230, I miss the 3G logo. I don't like the 1XEV logo.

Hopefully, a newer version will be leaked soon, and fix this cosmetic problem.

 
 
Posted by kooratz Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

There are links on how to load os. Youll find them at the bottom of the blog about the leak. This will explain in detail what you need to do.

 
 
Posted by NastyNeil Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

I looked there, and I have updated my OS before. For some reason, it will not let me do it. What other files to I have to delete from my computer other than any other OS?

 
 
Posted by Mike18012 Monday, Jan 04, 2010 769 days ago

wow...finally.?????? one question is this a solid leak..the preveious one had a radio connection problem.... a lil scared to ummmmmmm brick my berry..lol
