Any other links?

Ok...lets try to get some real findings instead of the.. Downloading now..scenario

http://hotfile.com/dl/43214022/8106e87/9000M_PBr5.0.0_rel1137_PL5.2.0.64...

ive download it,,try now,,

cant wait to try

Gained 2.5 MB of Memory.. and well... I guess the performance has gotten better? haha

I love when these leaks come out and there is nothing new to report... I haven't gone deep into the menus, but i will; be doing that shortly!

AH!
SHIT!

Word mole and brickbreaker... they have gone... need to get those back. now.
No wonder i gained memory! haha

Dowmlanding ... I hope gaun memory and better performance

Does this work on a Tour 9630??

Very slow booting

Upgraded from .610.
28mb to 34.4mb! nothing out of sorts so far. had to re install app world. no problems logging into the bb twitter client like previous leaks. so far so good..we'll see how the battery holds up.

Looks great. Memory went up to 300mg free. Phone is spitting out $20 bills. No charge for any apps. Miley Cyrus home phone was placed in contact list. Lady Gaga too. Web cam installed in Larry King's bedroom. Now THIS is an upgrade!!!

Nearly everyone where I go to school or work are still rocking Bold 9000's or Curve 8900's. It's only been 1 and half years since it came out. There is nothing the Bold 9700 does that it cannot do. My trackball is still working great and I love the bigger keyboards/screen.

My bold is going to keep me occupied until at least the next generation of OS 6.0 devices.

.610 was really piece of shit. I hope this leak will be much better because I had to downgrade to 545, which is the most stable OS leak in last few months....

Just upgraded from .610 to .681. No differences noticed so far. Memory about the same. Will report back tomorrow.

oh... and .610 was an amazing build for me (except for very slow, but sure, memory leak)... if .681 helps with that, I will be very happy.

I Had a problem with .610 that whenever my battery got low like 20-25 percent my phone would shut down while I was working on it. Let's hope .681 fixes that for me

Anyone know if the autolock app is disabled in this build, too? I had to revert to .238 when I found out that autolock was disabled.

I'm happy these are posted, but are they really leaks? I see videos on this site taken down in a nanosecond but never these "leaks".

If you were wondering if AutoLock, or any other third-party apps would be disabled with this build, they still are.

I just went from .610 to .681. To date, .610 was by far the best OS my 9000 has ever seen, till now. Every version of 5.0 I've tried failed to show the icons for Docs 2 Go in their true form. This new leak shows the icons as they did in the original 4.6. Beyond that, I installed the new OS leaving all my apps, settings and files in check and I still have 21 MB of free memory. That's stellar for the 9000 in my opinion.

One other thing I like about .681 is, as in .610, the mute button locks the keypad. The new leak still has the Lock icon on the home screen but .610 did not.

So, to sum it all up, if I can have twelve applications on top of the Docs 2 Go premium app and still have 21 MB of free memory that takes forever to trickle down, .681 is one awesome update.

Have been running AE's .662 hybrid for few days now & really happy so far. Will try .681 out and report back shortly... :)

Thank You crackberry and I would like to say thank you to :

Thank you brother, no wait and fast

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate that I can help out a bit. . . if I got the files or notice there of right away I would get them posted faster. And one of the best ways you can help me out is if you are going to buy something online anyway from one of my advertisers click the link on my page before doing your order. Most of them pay about 1% so it's not much but can be used multiple times. I use the newegg one a ton myself, gives me free shipping basically, LOL.

BTW it takes me about 20 mins to download the file and another 60 to upload, so if a file does come out I will try to get it online asap but I don't always catch them and it will take me at least an hour and a half to get it up and running.

"Still rocking?" - You seem to suggest that the 9000 isn't one of the most advanced phones out there. It still beats the whole BB line, unless you want the small improvements (and smaller keyboard and screen) of of the 9700.

Can you explain to me the difference on how to do these. Last time I followed the tutorial on this site. currently running 5.0.0.464

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4FWF09B0

I just downloaded this, and it was oddly enough my first crack at 5.0 on my bold. The only problems i have encountered so far are that 1. it wont let me delete voice mails in the visual voice mail. Or rather, it lets me click "delete" but then that voice mail just doesn't go away. and, 2. I when i went in a told the "messages" icon to only show my emails, it ignored me and continues to show bbm's, sms messages, etc. when i click that icon. Other than that, great. If anyone else is having these problems or found a way around them, let me know. Thanks.

On the last 2 leaks I've had trouble keeping wifi connected. The wifi symbol kept greying out, on .681 however my wifi seems to be holding strong.

Are there any differences from 5.0.0.610?

610 was so bad, I had to go back to 509 to get wifi and unit stability back. Can anyone report on the unit stability and wifi (and not just state you're downloading and will test...) Thank you.

Installed this afternoon on Bold 9000 - after wiping Willyboy's .662 Hybrid. Until the .681 leak, I have NEVER started my Bold with memory of more than 28-29MB. However, after installing the .681 - I started with 39MB!!

Been checking memory after opening apps and closing - before, it would drop 2-7MB. Didn't happen once I installed the .681! Is this the fix I was looking for?? I hope so!

Checked later in the evening, after a battery pull - Still seems to take about 4-5 minutes to start-up completely. 38.9MB...HOWEVER - Battery drops 10-15%!!! Prior OS's only dropped about 5%.

Flipped thru the various menu's, options, settings, etc., and nothing jumps out as "different".

So - short review - For me...Seems to be about 10MB more, but alot more battery loss when a battery pull is done.

none of the links appear to work?

nope the megaupload just worked
:)

i downloaded this, and so far so good. the only thing thats messing up is app world, and i think that's because of internet issues, everything else is awesomeeeeeeeeee!!!

and "still" rocking a bold 9000? the bold 9000 is one of the best blackberry phones out there, the 9700 sucks, it's way too small and I just hate it. the bold 9000 is perfect, has the trackball, a nice big screen, awesome keyboard, etc.

Does Wireless Audio Streaming through Bluetooth work with this version?

Dowloaded and installed. No issues in operations. Noted some improvement in speed and additional memory. Free memory running about 24 mb. Before 0.681 installed, memory stayed in 8-10 mb range. Third party apps working without problems. Very satisfied. On AT&T, who is making an art to staying behind.

Is this update leaking memory like crazy or is it just me??
By 24hours I'm getting a loss of about 12-15MB. Can anyone report their findings and confirm?

@ NightShade00013, thank you for the link!

Since updating to the latest version, everything is fantastic.
With a few downside;
- speaker volume is low
- my contacts name doesn't shows up during incoming calls
- I can't access all of my txt messages
- camera view is a grainy, even in a well lit area
- have 4 applications with the same planet earth icon

Other than that, I'm content with my Bold 9000!!!
