Sweet. I've been anxiously waiting while every other device seemed to be getting a leak.

I was just getting ready to install a Hybrid for the .517 OS and now this.....

What to do? What to do?

I hope this is a good operating system, although i sold my storm2 last week, may pick up another one at walmart for 29.99. Hope everyone is having a good week

This will be a nice start to my Storm 2 I am getting tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to have people try it and see what it "fixes" or improves. This Hybrid, based on the .517 is the best feeling so far...memory increased and the bars are stable now. If battery life improves (awful with .517) it will be great! Come folks, give us a report...I may be upgrading again tonight!

Looks like Ill be busy tonight. This plus Tour. Damn

isn't this the second leak for storm 2 lately? No more love for us 9530 users.... :(

I want to test. I have the official 5.0.0.517 from a Canadian carrier at the moment (I'm with Verizon). I suppose I'll wait to hear some feedback - never been brave enough to install a leak.

nope...us 9530 users are now hybrid or bust me thinks!

C'mon Bold 9000! The Tour got one, 9700 got one, now this to be the first in the 600 builds. I'll take a 601 for Bold 9000 please :)

Anyone know of what the fixes/additions are? Please post!

Are you kidding. a 600 series!! So excited. Thank you leaker.

Bet this is what Bell releases.

work has blocked megaupload, and it will probably be off there in a short time.

anyone got a mirror?

when i did a battery pull there was a new hourglass that appeared..ugly

Oh happy day!!! I'm loading as soon as it's done downloading!

keep an eye our for PTT files if this is a verizon leak. Im anxious to see if they are working on making PTT available for all verizon blackberrys

I am having such an issue downloading, keeps saying thats i'm currently downloading even though I haven't, can someone upload a mirror

Where is the 9530 love???? Have we been forgotten???????

I love leaks.... quit complaining if the leak is not for you.... there was a week when everything BUT storm 2 was leaked.... did I complain? no... its called patience, friends.

when i updated, all my bbm contacts pictures were not restored even with a battery pull...is there a fix for this yet

Awesome!!! Sucks that I just installed OOAK's .604 hybrid last night...oh well!

Been waiting a long time for this to come and it happens 6 hours into our vacation. I won't have access to a computer for another week! Ahh!

Wonder if I can install a leak from a library computer??

JK!

updating now....
ill leave a message later
when i figure out if anything
is different or any bugs i find etc.
:D keeping my fingers crossed lol

Any PTT file sightings with this leak?

Loading this as soon as I get back to the office! Can't even wait to get home

I didnt have any PTT stuff installed, but I had a shortcut to V Cast Apps..maybe theres some PTT stuff buried in it though.

I'm on the SaskTel OS (.517) on my Verizon 9550. Would love to hear from anyone who upgrades from that version to this leak.

The previous leaks were excellent upgrades from the stock .320. However, at least 2 apps I know of (Mobile Banking and now DirecTV) require an official carrier OS to operate.

If you're on .320 and waiting on Verizon, you'll be very happy with upgrading to a leaked version. Just follow all the great info on crackberry, if you do you won't brick your phone.

Since .517 has all the great features (keyboard popup, battery life, seperate BES mail folder, screen performance and overall speed) I'm debating whether to upgrade and disable use Mobile Banking and DirecTV.

Any brave souls out there with a rundown?

Installed easily, running very smoothly, It's a very nice build. I have not noticed anything worrysome as of yet. One thing i did notice is that one of my pushed apps is missing, but not biggie, i don't use it. There is something i noticed which could just be me, but the key spacing and size of key text is changed.

edit. when typing sometimes the text bolds when backspacing or highlighted. doesnt seem like normal operation because it doesn't do it everytime for every word.

After playing with it, i noticed it bolds only on the third or forth backspace in a word consistently, maybe it's a new word correction method so you can recognize where the change in your word began with auto text..

signal is great. battery life is good so far, but i don't use popup keys except on touch and hold.

my main concern is battery life, so if anyone can report that would be awesome. Im currently running .517 and i have to plugin at some time during the day in order to survive till bed time.

the new popup keys play a big part in the battery drain. when i had them enabled the battery would drain much faster.

It seems at the last stage of completion when phone reboot to reload your data. Mines got stuck 75% of the way and will not not continue. I did a battery remove and even try reloading the software. Damn it if this doesn't work HELLO HTC!!

artist01,

You'll bee glad to know that they both still work with this version.

By "mobile banking" I assume you mean the BoA app

That's fairly common when doing a new OS install.

Just let it sit and it'll be fine.

The worst thing you can do is disconnect during this process.

If I were you I'd try to reinstall and then go to My Documents and reload your application data via DM when complete.

Don't forget to disconnect from the internet during the OS install as well.
