Leaked: OS 5.0.0.822 For the BlackBerry Curve 8900 And Bold 9000

Two more for everyone. Again, courtesy of Driphter.com. This time we have the OS 5.0.0.822 for the BlackBerry Bold 9000 and the BlackBerry Curve 8900. You all know what to do. Back up your data and get your swagg on. Leave us comments if ya find anything cool.

*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. *

Here's a download link for the 8900 OS
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SJV9HAA6

Might be faster for most of you instead of the Hotfile link.

Posted by neant Sunday, Jul 25, 2010 565 days ago

it works and faster than hotfile, thank you!

Posted by naldski Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

does anyone had a problem with the standby/mute button after upgrading to this OS for curve 8900? i had a problem with the said button with the previous OS 5.0++ and had to downgrade.

Posted by Connor83 Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

It's always nice to see some leaked OS love, even if it's not for my device (9700).

 
 
Posted by justmvg Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

Posted by mister_right Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

Posted by -Kevlar- Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

Posted by Chrispik2 Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

Which phone r u talking about?.... I upgraded to .681 this morning and the default browser is slooooow

 
 
Posted by mattpowell19 Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

so just curious, but what is new in this OS....
Thanks

 
 
Posted by mckillio Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

Ugh, I just updated to the driphter hybrid (Browser is super fast) two day ago. Need more feedback on this one.

 
 
Posted by T-BONE82 Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

just upgraded to .681 yesterday as well.....please let us know if there are any significant differences with this release. Looks like i'm getting the upgrade bug......

 
 
Posted by alc94 Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

Alright usually I only download offcial os's but since I doubt that T-Mobile will ever push any version of OS5 to my Blackberry Curve 8900, this leak has me very intrigued. Can anyone post a list of updates that this would bring to my phone which is still on OS4.6? Also, can someone list the bugs in this OS too so that I can weigh the pro and cons and decide whether I should download this or not? Thanks in advance for anyone who chooses to help me.

 
 
Posted by mckillio Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

Visual Voicemail and threaded SMS, nuff said. I have been using 5.0 leaks since last summer on my 8900 and haven't had any significant problems with them. Just go ahead and do it, you won't regret it.

 
 
Posted by bigalryder Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

I agree with the post above. There are too many improvements to even try and list. Go for it and you'll love it.

 
 
Posted by alc94 Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

Alright I think I'll download it. Thanks you guys for encouraging me and you are both right those features are worth it.

 
 
Posted by cybercs Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

Here's the 9000 file hosted on MegaUpload
Enjoy!

It seems faster than my old .681 OS on my BB9000. But still testing things out for now. I'll try to keep you all updated with any changes. Hope to hear from others. :)

 
 
Posted by Karlos349 Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

I've been waiting for a new release for a while. I've had major battery issues for the last month or so, and the memory has been dropping way faster than it should.

 
 
Posted by -Kevlar- Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

wow.... 1 min and 27 sec of boot up time. and that includes that little bit of sending/receiving lock up at the beginning which was pretty minimal. 43MB of available memory at startup and i have a handful of apps including app world, BBM, mapquest, etc

 
 
Posted by Kimberlee Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

Lost all my sounds after downloading, have gone back to .681 and everything is now fine. Too bad.

Posted by bluegreen1965 Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

Anyone think this new version is significant enough to warrant a 2nd upgrade this week?

 
 
Posted by niklz Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

this is the worst build to date, browser does not work one single bit! going back to .734 strongly advise against upgrading to this!

 
 
Posted by Chrispik2 Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

I'm guessin u have the bold or what? Which phone r u talkin about???

 
 
Posted by zek666 Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

hey guys, can you post which phone you are talking about when describing good/bad upgrades

 
 
Posted by BBBAbuser Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

Installation went smoothly and all works fine so-far... Have been running Willyboy's OS6 hybrid last weeks, and this one looks comparable in terms of speed. Will report back more findings shortly...

 
 
Posted by my4everangels Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

do you do ota on this or do you do it thru bb desktop I have problems thru desktop mgr HELP i have been trying to get this to my phone but its not working

 
 
Posted by BBBAbuser Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

I am a Chinese language user, so had to extract Chinese language files from .681. But just noticed that althought it shows Chinese characters, I can't get input to work... Going back to Willyboy hybrid now... :(

Posted by AllSystemGo Thursday, Jul 22, 2010 568 days ago

I know there is a bunch of threads about this topic but I would like to know what is the best way to install this new OS. How to completly wipe my terminal to have no trace of the .681 firmware and the rest!!

Tahnk you

I upgraded from .681 ( for the 8900) and this leak installed quickly and is up and running smoothly thus far.

It is hard to tell of any significant differences in battery life and memory leaks until the new OS has time to "burn in".

Thus far, I have noticed 2 noteworthy items. First of all, TMO MyFaves "Paw" interface and features reappeared for the first time since upgrading to a 5.0.XXX OS from the 4.6.231 OS that originally came on the phone. Kind of neat if you like the "Paw" interface or some of its features.

Secondly, the TMO Mobile Backup feature that disappeared on .681 reappeared on this OS. Also kind of neat.

The only other things I noticed so far is that the color scheme on Blackberry Maps has changed (gray background with yellow for major streets, etc) and the camera "click sound" is lower pitched and appears to be back to what it sounded like before .681.

thanks for the updates, zakslm.

On my device I have noticed some oS probs... Sometimes your sounds for bbm or txt or email dunt werk, like if you do a quickpull the sounds come back buy eventually the sounds will stop werking on their own, sometimes all the sounds won't werk or sometimes its jus one of them, its happening to the native and custom sounds
