Leaked: OS 5.0.0.421 for the BlackBerry Bold 9700!

Bold 9700 Geeez.. the leaks for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 just don't stop coming. It's hard to believe my 9700 shipped with 5.0.0.321, as with this latest leak via bbleaks we're up to OS 5.0.0.421. I haven't had a chance to give it a go yet, so be sure to check our forums for feedback on it. Also, if the download link goes down, be sure to watch the comments and OS forum for mirror download locations. Have a great weekend!

*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. *

Posted by Marcjcd Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

I only downloaded .415 the day before yesterday... I think I'm going to wait a bit before doing another one. .415 has been pretty solid after an initial boot-up issue.

Yet another leak for the 9700! Where are the 9550 leaks? Are they even working on the known bugs, issues and glitches in .320? Things that you go hmmmmmm...

 
 
Posted by rmingram Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Glad I don't have the Tour, lol. However, I do have the storm 2 though and starting to feel neglected. Where's the leaked version for the 9550.

 
 
Posted by Matrix78 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Shrink a OS then installing be back in a bit

 
 
Posted by BuddaBelly Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

WOW download speed of 1.8 mbs which is the fastest download I have ever had on a leak.

 
 
Posted by Maverick.Xtreme Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

What more can I ask more, except "keep 'em coming...!"
Wooooohoooooooooo...!!!

 
 
Posted by CrackBerryV79 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

*waits for the Tour-ists*

This IS getting a bit crazy though... lol.

I downloaded it - will wait for some feedback before installing methinks.

 
 
Posted by Matrix78 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Posted by phombi Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Posted by MRCLrider Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

The download from berryleaks is uber slow! Can't wait to see what little changes are in store for my 9700..

 
 
Posted by MRCUR Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Use the Megaupload link above, it's flying right now.

 
 
Posted by MRCUR Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Looks like BerryLeaks is down, but damn does Megaupload FLY. Got around 2MB/s.

 
 
Posted by JLeiteRosa Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Can someone let me know if its a TMO or ATT build? (Plz, and thanks)

 
 
Posted by miller7796 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

You can use it on either. Just delete the vender.xml file.

 
 
Posted by JLeiteRosa Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Yes, I understand that... my question is more to see if I am getting Tmo's apps - MyFaves, PhotoConnect, MyAccount...etc. - with the built. Thanks anyways...

Can anyone confirm which built it is for?

 
 
Posted by Matrix78 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

yes if you have TMo you get the TMo junk with it

 
 
Posted by MRCLrider Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Anyone having problems with mail at all?? I'm getting a Java problem

 
 
Posted by MRCLrider Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

never mind, needed two battery pulls

 
 
Posted by doowopmario Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

It's the best phone I've ever had and it gets all the attention away from all the other phones!

 
 
Posted by rosalesj Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Posted by Dave0373 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Well, time to get ride of my Storm 1, I see we have been forgotten.

 
 
Posted by rey_1178 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

this just tells me that many dont give a crap about the tour! leaks after leaks and the tour keeps getting the finger

 
 
Posted by flash24 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

People cry too much

 
 
Posted by ixdnL Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Does this void the warranty?

 
 
Posted by flash24 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

No, just dont tell them about it.

 
 
Posted by Haze11368 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

What is actually new in this version? i got .415

 
 
Posted by Suillira Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Not too sure at this point..........

 
 
Posted by DanielVox Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

God people need to get over it. When a NEW phone comes out MANY leaks come out for it at first .. and then … THEY MAKE A NEW PHONE and leaks come out for that new phone. IF you have an old Blackberry and it's OVER a year old… then I'm sure they stopped working on the OS as much. ….

I wish I could YELL AT Every person who cries when they don't have a leak for there phone.. get over it!

On a side note I shall DL this leak and let people know of what I discover .. ;)~ LOL

 
 
Posted by Suillira Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Would you yell at them?

 
 
Posted by rickbubello Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

THIS IS BS! I'm sick and tired of looking at leaks for the 9700 and 8520 and 9520, Give me a break. These gsm leaks and lack of love for cdma phones really has burned my backside

 
 
Posted by doowopmario Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

What's going on here? It won't get past the Loading Device to ROM part. It says it can't connect to my phone. Anybody else experiencing this?

 
 
Posted by doowopmario Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

I simply disconnected the device when I got the error message prompting me to either "reply" or "cancel", but did not close the window. After the phone restarted itself, I went ahead and plugged it back in to the data cable, clicked "retry" and it worked.

 
 
Posted by Galactic2 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Damn you Tour folks are mad...!

Downloading now!

 
 
Posted by prorican15 Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

havent had any problems with it yet. And havent noticed anything different. If anybody does let me know. Thanks

 
 
Posted by evorc Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

sorry haters....

 
 
Posted by amzchhabra Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Seem's 5.0.0.303 has leaked for the TOUR... Maybe now all the Tour users will stop whining???

Check it out in the Beta/Hybrid OS forum...

Although one thing I found on twitter just a moment ago was the below tweet from bbhybrids:

"bbhybrids RT @drm2blv: Beware of the 5.0.0.303 'leak' its old news and the radio is not stable. 4 minutes ago from TweetDeck"

Anyway, back to updating my 9700 to 5.0.0.421 - Absolutely loving the leak shower at the moment!

 
 
Posted by jhrain Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Does anyone know? I saw this asked earlier, haven't seen a reply (probably too soon, since looks like everyone is just now downloading and installing).

Non-9700 users.. really, please move back to your forums and scream there. Why waste out time?

Or.. sell you BB on eBAY and go buy a 9700. Those are your options.

Cheers and Happy Holidays

 
 
Posted by JLeiteRosa Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 791 days ago

This will work on either or - however, it is a TMO build. (MYFaves, etc)

 
 
Posted by moshpitpal Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

.....took two minutes to download.

 
 
Posted by amzchhabra Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

this will work on both AT&T / T-Mo :)

Deffo agree with your comment, all the haters need to stop posting pointless comments, doesn't help anyone, when it leaks, it leaks, until then, hold tight!

Tour / Storm owners also do not realise the user base for both of those devices is tiny in comparison to that of other BBs. As the user base is smaller, the leaks are less. CDMA/handsets tied to one carrier per country are going to have a smaller user base compared to the likes of the 9700 which is out just about everywhere!

 
 
Posted by AsiaLynnn Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

Mega Upload is no longer working..

 
 
Posted by AsiaLynnn Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

time downloading a new OS. I'm completely new to blackberry, and I am a Mac user. How do I do this??

 
 
Posted by Stevehose Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

You'll need to do it on on a PC by installing DM and this software on it, I have Parallels on my Mac and still couldnt get it to load completely.

 
 
Posted by MRCLrider Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

This is the quickest OS so far, so fast.

It has also freed up a ton of space in my phones memory.

You will not be disappointed.

 
 
Posted by Tailc Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 792 days ago

I just signed up with Crackberry; I've been following for some time now. I thank all the Vets for all the hook-ups!

At any rate, I finished the 421 install; OS does seem to be faster. I’m on an exchange server and it automatically reactivated me on my corporate Bes server; good stuff!

All apps seem to be running fine, tethering is working just fine, & web browsing seems to be faster too. However I didn’t notice any Memory gain like I did when I jumped to 415. and the boot up time is the same as 415.

I’ll post and new items I find.
