Tour OS 5.0.0.530

BBLeaks is at it again and has given some Friday joy to the BlackBerry world with a leaked OS 5.0.0.530 for the Tour 9630. This is a pretty big leap from the last Tour OS we saw, but still not that "official version" everyone is looking for. Hit the links below to download, and be sure to drop a comment and let us know your findings.

Please Note: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release, so install at your own risk and only if you're comfortable with doing so. If you've never installed an OS beta before be sure to dive into the CrackBerry forums and read all of our tutorials and learn the ins and outs of beta releases. Keep in mind that these leaked OS's sometimes take a step backwards in one area while making a leap forward in another. If you're on the fence, you're best off waiting until the findings threads fills up with some data. Fingers are crossed that this is a good one!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL, RESETS YOUR PHONE EVERYTIME YOU TAKE OUT OF HOLSTER OR UNLOCK IT

 
 
Posted by sabbotage Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

Maybe this will be the official verizon release! Woohoo!

Posted by scallywag1 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

I will download later today! Please post any info on this leak. I wonder if this fixes the browser lag from the previous leak...

Will try this tonight...the last release from Sprint (the official) is crap...i keep getting a spinning thing while my phone thinks about the "H" i just entered...thanks for the heads up crackberry!

 
 
Posted by google123 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

But I'll probably wait until driphter has a hybrid based on it. Also, phinx my browser and bbm r wor fine right now as I'm using the browser as I type this.

 
 
Posted by elvin1983 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

Why would you do this, it kind of defeats the purpose of loading the OS to see what's fixed an what's not.

 
 
Posted by google123 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

.

 
 
Posted by eye4ni Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

Because this OS still has the new LOCK button config, and NO STANDBY. Hope Driphter releases a hybrid that keeps the original LOCK/STANDBY config. This is the only reason that I am not even interested in trying this OS

 
 
Posted by phinx404 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

thanks for the msg. just did battery pull and seems to be working fine again.. thanks!

 
 
Posted by Arwaldon4 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

I'm gonna wait on the official this time. I've tried every leak that was out for the tour, and there was always issues. Not that I'm complaining, but ill be a bit more patient with big red till the official version is dropped.

 
 
Posted by bean34 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

Since we have only been waiting for centuries....official please come out SOON!..can't wait until the threaded SMS.

 
 
Posted by collin16 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

Well if you can't wait... Then dl the beta!! Duh.

 
 
Posted by bean34 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

Don't wanna risk a beta form...official only...

 
 
Posted by gorgalis Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

What exactly would you be risking?

 
 
Posted by smokey6660 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

why great upgrade try it out

 
 
Posted by hoosercub Sunday, Feb 28, 2010 714 days ago

whats to risk as long as your phone is backed up on you computer you can't lose data or permanently brick your phone. I can't imagine life with a BB and NOT having threaded SMS anymore.. you don't know what you're missing.

 
 
Posted by MJay609 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

i'll wait on the #OFFICIAL !!

 
 
Posted by arab305 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

all these leaks for the tour and storm2 we need a leak for the 9700 .442 is getting old

 
 
Posted by mmcapone Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

I guess I'll do it! Just downloaded. Ill take the plunge and report back.

 
 
Posted by jaimanuel249 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

I downloaded the official 5.0 for Sprint Tour users and it works pretty well, but I'm anxious to see what changes have been made in this OS. I'll be anxiously waiting for everybody's comments

 
 
Posted by elvin1983 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

I'm curious to see what everyone thinks...

 
 
Posted by mmcapone Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

Just backed up everything and wiped with JL commander. Installing OS now. Will report back in a little.

 
 
Posted by elin28 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

Holy crap!! Where the heck is Leaked for 9700?!?!? I saw in the last two weeks for all the leaks but nothing for 9700. We still stuck @ 442 (official)!!!!!!!!!!

 
 
Posted by Dr.Boost Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

You got an official...VZW has yet to release an official. You are not getting screwed. Look at it this way, what you got works well, let these others beta the leaks and then you will get a great official update soon.

:)

Does not fix Blackberry Registration on Sprint.....snappier...things respond quicker....internet loads faster for me than Official Sprint Release......

 
 
Posted by dreppucci007 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

Are things from .484 fixed like the lock button? Does it say 3G or 1XEV?

 
 
Posted by raiderfan Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

No 3G

 
 
Posted by samuels1289 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

Raiderfan, what do you mean "fix Blackberry registration"?

Do you mean every time you boot up your device, not from standby, you'd get blackberry registration email? well, that's perfectly normal and was intended by Sprint to let you know that your blackberry is SUCCESSFULLY connected to BB server,,,

Do u know what I would do? Ignore it.

 
 
Posted by raiderfan Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

I will ignore it.....thanks......this OS is the best yet....I have four bars in my office where most of the time i roam...Facebook app loads clean and fast....this must be the OS that Verizon will make official....its that good so far

 
 
Posted by synergi Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

downloading it NOW!

ps. I just downloaded .484 oops

 
 
Posted by mmcapone Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

Im coming from .419 and im on Verizon. I didnt receive any "registration email" on reboots (didnt before either). Apps im using that work fine so far are: BeWeather, TweetGenius, Quickpull, and BerryBuzz. They are all working fine so far. Internet seems faster and snappier, could just be cause i just wiped it. Overall so far this seems to be great. My biggest concern is the battery life. I had HORRIBLE battery life with .419.

 
 
Posted by trmoney24 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

only sprint users would get that registration message on a reboot.
you should all really check out the hybrid builds by www.driphter.com. no i am not affiliated with him. they are the best working operating systems for the BB Tour. The battery life is amazing on his hybrids and so is the OS & browser speeds.

 
 
Posted by rion_j Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

can you provide instruction on installing his hybrids?

 
 
Posted by trmoney24 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

here's a good starting link. it's pretty simple once you read how a hybrid works and all. read the part of installing an OS first and then the hybrid if you are a beginner.
http://driphter.com/index.php?topic=21.0

here is the forum where he has his latest hybrids for the Tour. DV6.4 is his latest and greatest version.

Awaiting a hybrid in 3...2...1...

 
 
Posted by Mike18012 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

ok berry heads...i downloaded the offical os last week from sprint 5.0 484 since i have sprint.... whats the real difference between the last os 484 from sprint and this new one 530..anyone really knows the truth..or is this verizon version.????

 
 
Posted by mmcapone Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

2 Random reboots while trying to configure BerryBuzz. I am going to try a 3rd time. If it reboots again. Im going to have to re-install

 
 
Posted by WishinItWas Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

Installing now from .419, snowy day here at work, what the hell right?

 
 
Posted by FlyBoyM Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

I dl'ed it just in case I hear good reviews for it. If its good I'll install it, if not then it gets deleted.

 
 
Posted by NastyNeil Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

If you go in to the files folder of this OS you can clearly see that it is for Verizon as it has VZ Navigator folder and Verizon Push to Talk folder. For some reason I can't get it to load on to my Sprint Phone, but after finding this information, and reading what some users are finding, I am going to stick with the Sprint Official. Good luck and best wishes to those who do try and load this. If you are on another carrier, I suggest deleting not only the vendor file, but also VZ Navigator and Verizon PTT, and any other Verizon related apps.

 
 
Posted by clexman Friday, Feb 26, 2010 716 days ago

The other OSes have those things too. It also includes themes for several other carriers too.
