Leaked: OS 5.0.0.548 for the BlackBerry Tour 9630

on 12 Mar 2010 09:22 AM

A crazy week on the leaked OS front. We had two leaks for the Bold 9700, and now another new Tour 9630 OS. The guys at BBLeaks found OS 5.0.0.548, and hopefully it works out better than .530 seemed to. Nothing on what is new in this version, so be sure to drop a comment and let us know what you find out. Hit the link below to download. Remember to use caution when installing a leaked OS!

*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).

Doesnt respond to clicks much of the time. Damn And I was hoping this was a good one. How do they keep fucking shit up instead of making it better?

Posted by rion_j Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

yup, very annoying....how can they make the browser that bad and so slow. plus, i've noticed my battery is running hot even after several battery pulls.

For sure noticed this. I thought it was my trackball on .530.....needs some refining but they are close!

Posted by G.4 Saturday, Mar 13, 2010 699 days ago

but i found that if you zoom in, it will work much better. not sure why that would help, but it does. my browser is now MUCH faster, so i don't mind the click thing so much :)

Posted by DonnyG2 Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

Hahaha, another one. Taking the plunge, yet again!

Who is brave enough to do this one....not me. I like .419.

Posted by cenloe Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

I agree, although I am downloading this-just in case it seems to be really good, awesome, kick ass, etc.

Posted by ivanio Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

I second that...

Posted by google123 Saturday, Mar 13, 2010 700 days ago

Third :D

Posted by jlb21 Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

Not me. I will stick to the stock 4.7 OS until officially released and any possible bugs/kinks are worked out. 4.7 works fine for me right now.

Posted by VZWRocka Sunday, Mar 14, 2010 698 days ago

Um even the official release when it finally comes will have bugs they all do. If you want to wait that's your business but you're missing out ;-)

Posted by damnyankees Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

I'll wait til I hear some positive feedback about this one before I go through the hassle of installing it. .530 was just a pain in the ass.

Posted by damnyankees Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

what else do I have to do today? I'll give it a go, lol.

Posted by physique Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

Can't get a new device, but need a new OS

Posted by webmastir Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

I cannot wait to go Android!

Remember...your pills.

Posted by dkh7m Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

so i guess i'll give it a go. was going to go back to .484 which was running great before i screwed it up with .530. so we'll see.

Posted by WishinItWas Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

I have been running .530 since it leaked, .548 id definitely getting a try!

Posted by acmecocktail Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

Up and running with 548. install was quick and smooth.
Gained about 6 meg in memory right off the bat.

Let's see some 8900 love with a new leak soon... c'mon leakers! ;)

Posted by mpatchez Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

We need a new 9530 leak. I'm getting bored with my berry. :-(

Posted by sgtmilstack Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

So true, but I think we are the lost species.

Posted by thablackguy Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

thats what hybrids are for guys!!!!

Posted by sgtmilstack Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

true that, but I rarely put frankensteinized OS's on my S1.

Posted by bp22_ca Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

Our radio file is ancient now. When you have to hybrid 4 different OS's just to be able to make one, then it's time for an updated .sfi.

Posted by sigma218 Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

and my broswer is gone and telling me i dont have data services...nevermind after a battery pull im up and runing

Posted by davidsnoodles Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

Sister just switched from her Storm 9530 to a Motorola Droid yesterday. I've been tempted to make the same switch but I love my Tour 9630. BUT, with all the recent BlackBerry outages and Verizon's lack a support for the Tour as far as releasing a 5.0 update, I'll wait until Verizon receives their version of the Bold (hopefully it's the same Bold as T-Mobile has) or until the Nexus One comes out on Verizon.

I love my Tour because I do A LOT of business work on it. No other smartphone can touch BlackBerry's in terms of email and keyboards. We'll see RIM, we'll see...

Posted by mr67man Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

And haven't seen any issues as of yet.

Posted by trophynuts Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

Im running .419 also and i believe i'll stick with that till some more feedback comes from this.

Posted by SWerbis Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

On a BES and NO reoboots when holstered and so fat V/PTT is indeed loaded... will check back after reboot.

Posted by OsoLuis Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

At least this .548 comes with a great feature I'm happy with my .419

Posted by Nwordplzplz Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

I"ll give it a shot, and see how it goes...hopefully it works better than the last leak I had. My phone had to reset like 7 times in an 8 hour period.

Posted by schrack3000 Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

Rebooting when holstered? Anyone?

Posted by toyman300 Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

.530 Rebooted as soon as it came in contact with the holster magnet. No matter which way I turn it *zzzzt RESET*

So back to .419 I went. Gonna give this a shot once I see some good news. That whole endeavor was a pain in the left cheek!

Posted by itstovybaby Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

upgraded, everything is working fine

Posted by SWerbis Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

I installed this and left in the PTT (just to check) and so far NO reboots such as was the case with .530. I am going upstairs to get a signal to test out browser and applications. Will report back....

Posted by ace2525 Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

I have .530 installed on my Tour now and have NO problems...what kind of problems are you guys experiencing? I will probably upgrade just because it's available but if I were still on 4.7 I would DEFINITELY upgrade. 5.0 is a way better OS

Posted by WishinItWas Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

Loading up now, I delete the .ptt files pre-install just because, anyone have berrybuzz working on this???

Posted by sabbotage Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

I'm curious about berrybuzz myself. That would be a deal breaker for me.

Posted by m1llert1me Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

BerryBuzz is working fine.

Posted by jfonder Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

Anyone have ANY idea when Verizon will FINALLY let us have 5.0?

Posted by PlayaX01 Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

its seems like wit will be never... i stopped waiting for that 4 months ago...Verizon is full of shit

Posted by jussimple Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

Is this the prelude to a verizon release? More than likely it's another ATT or sprint thing. I think the whole WiFi incompatibility is what's keeping verizon all choked up. :(

Posted by 318sugarhill Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

If you people actually read the articles here, you would know, that Verizon has not released 5.0 yet because of the new Tour/bold problems. They were set to release the Wifi version end of Feb, but the 5.0 had Wifi issues among others. So, as typical with verizon, they release 5.0 with the release of the new device. The new device release has been pushed back till the end of April. Seriously, if you want 5.0, download and install .419. I have been using it since it's release and the only problem I experience is Facebook app locks up. Other than that it is great. Your other option is to stop whining about it. Verizon WILL not release it before the new device comes out, and until ALL bugs are worked out. It's that simple. You have plenty of threads and opinions to read on .419 and if you want it that bad, install it. Other carriers liked it enough so install it. I'm hoping to hear good news on this version, otherwise, I won't bother as .419 has worked very well for me. Sprint released their official version (not .419) and people were not as happy with that as they were with .419 so what does that tell you?

Posted by VZWRocka Sunday, Mar 14, 2010 698 days ago

a few days before the 9650 is released of course. If you want it install .419, it's a solid build and I have been running it since it first leaked (before other carriers released en mass). If you wait for Verizon to release updates then you never get them.

Posted by PlayaX01 Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

yea ill stick to my .419 cause i doubt this has anything new

Posted by jfonder Friday, Mar 12, 2010 700 days ago

Anyone have ANY idea when Verizon will "let" us have 5.0? Has anyone used a leaked version successfully on the Verizon network?
