Leaked: OS 6.0.0.380 for the BlackBerry Bold 9700
By
Bla1ze on 7 Dec 2010 03:47 pm

Leak time again. BlackBerry Bold 9700 owners will want to grab their USB cables and fire up app loader or desktop manager. OS 6.0.0.380 has just hit the interwebs. Hopefully, this will be a build that is rather bug free. If you're willing to give it a run through be sure to back up your data and first. Let us all know what's new folks in the comments or in the forums.
*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). *

Can't wait to go home and try it.
Thanks Crackberry!!!!

Haha, I was wondering what was taking yall so long to post this.. I'm already downloading.. Found it on Berry Review before it was here..
emirozmen Dec 7, 2010 at 4:16 pm
Even before berryreview it was on bbleaks :)
Logsdale Dec 7, 2010 at 4:05 pm
I was hesitant to install the last version of os6 but i may try this one.
Gquie Dec 7, 2010 at 4:06 pm
I hope they fixed the battery issue and the browser problem... That page is too large message is royally annoying.
maniac2403 Dec 7, 2010 at 4:21 pm
I think the browser problem is due to the insufficient memory on our Bold. I think this problem is going to stay.
Last OS .358 had excellent battery life.
siopow Dec 7, 2010 at 4:34 pm
so annoying. always have to clear cache and close other tabs. so annoying!
lukabrazi85 Dec 7, 2010 at 4:08 pm
can someone give me the tutorial link for how to upload the leaksor simple instructions... the is the first one I actually want to give a try. I have windows 7 if the makes a difference.
datta72 Dec 7, 2010 at 4:10 pm
check the forums, there's a few step by step instructions on how to do it....there's bunch of different ways to install it, but the best way is through the app loader
emtfick Dec 7, 2010 at 4:09 pm
Very cool! Hope they fixed to UMA problem. Thanks for posting this.
Efrax86 Dec 7, 2010 at 4:10 pm
I had ditched the first OS6 leak because I couldn't even select text properly, and had decided to stick with OS5 until an official version was out. I'm gonna try this one though, and if it's good enough I'll keep it. Downloading.
datta72 Dec 7, 2010 at 4:10 pm
I hope they fixed the memory leaks.....it's killing me
joshua.worth Dec 7, 2010 at 4:10 pm
Hopefully we see another 9650 leak. Congrats to you 9700 owners hope this one is of official quality for you.
diruocco Dec 7, 2010 at 4:12 pm
oh, i may just be the first one to try this one out, i am downloading as we speak.
this one is 20mb bigger than the others. (about)
i hope it fixes some of the bugs.
emirozmen Dec 7, 2010 at 4:15 pm
Have 15 mins left!!
Rootbrian Dec 7, 2010 at 6:01 pm
it's going fast!
TheEliteOne Dec 7, 2010 at 4:16 pm
I've installed every single one and each time it starts off ok but due to the memory the phone gets extremely sluggish. Not to mention you can't even highlight texts. Not to mention the other issues. If this one runs better let me know someone. Thanks.
swagg232 Dec 7, 2010 at 4:16 pm
okay ...here goes another project for me woot woot... honestly .344 has been great for me.

ifraser Dec 7, 2010 at 4:30 pm
I have also had every leak on my 9700, only battery issue I had was on a reboot, it killed the whole battery. And the browser memory issue had appeared on the last leak but wasnt too much of a pain.
Installing .380 just now so fingers crossed.
CocoaBlossom Dec 7, 2010 at 4:30 pm
Thanks for the link guys. I'm downloading it right now.
martin3s Dec 7, 2010 at 4:31 pm
This is official ???
ArizonaGuy Dec 7, 2010 at 4:32 pm
What part of "leaked" makes you wonder if this is official?
I9o Dec 7, 2010 at 4:34 pm
Heh, it could have been a "leaked official" or an "official leak" :D
But, downloading now.. Just hoping that the Phone/BES server dont get any headake of my testing.. =)
john dunbar Dec 7, 2010 at 4:51 pm
"Official Leak" lol!! Great oxymoron. I drink wet water while downloading official leaks.

Its a mirror site (14 servers) so it will stay up for a while:)
artungonul Dec 7, 2010 at 4:51 pm
so can anyone tell eny difference from 358 ?
benpierce Dec 8, 2010 at 9:26 am
There are two major differences that I can tell as of right now:
1) I did not have to use BBSAK to delete the "net_rim_theme" for T-Mobile after updating.
2) The web browser "page is too large" error message has not been happening on sites where it always did with .344 and .358 (google images is one that always errored out for me).
>>I still cannot click on a phone number as a link (like on craigslist) and the cursor still does not appear in SMS bubbles.
It feels more "snappy" as well, especially in the webkit browser. Pages are loading faster.
Thanks!

crigga84 Dec 7, 2010 at 4:52 pm

I had .358 and went back to OS5 because u can't highlight and it was freezing my phone too many times..let me know if this leak is better!
r_2key Dec 7, 2010 at 5:14 pm
you can highlight, but its apain cause he cursoris gone... this OS has the same issue
aznrice Dec 7, 2010 at 5:04 pm
hopefully they fixed the memory leak issue
2thdoc73 Dec 7, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Just got .380 installed on both mine and my wife's 9700 phones. We also had .344 and .358 previously. Hoping for a snappier, less buggy version. It will take a few days of testing to assess battery life, memory leaks, etc. Will report back!
mikeydan Dec 7, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Really thankful for this, OS6 for 9700 is great minus the few bugs which has a lot of people slightly disappointed.
howl078 Dec 7, 2010 at 5:33 pm
WooooooHoooooooooooooo!!!!!! See Ya in the forums!!!!!!!
SK122387 Dec 7, 2010 at 5:34 pm
Do tmobile users still have to delete those two files from the Java folder to avoid the white screen and weird icons when the OS is loaded?
Rootbrian Dec 7, 2010 at 5:58 pm
Make sure you do that before loading it. Also, the vendor.xml file too.
TEHJAMUS Dec 7, 2010 at 5:39 pm
I had to downgrade from 358 back to 344 because of bugs. I can't wait to try this one!
crigga84 Dec 7, 2010 at 5:40 pm
The flash works once after a reboot and then it doesn't. Has anyone noticed this?
shlee Dec 7, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Not sure if the tmo.cod's are still an issue or not but Im going ahead and doing it anyway. Hoenstly though, besides the webkit displaying **Page is too large** and booting me off. I really liked ,358 - Only when browsing did I find the drain of my battery. Other than that I loved the OS6 experience. I will never go back. OS5 is so 1996 2 thousand & 8
avanzato67 Dec 7, 2010 at 5:43 pm
OS 6 works fine for me. thx.
themenacexd Dec 7, 2010 at 5:55 pm
Too bad I have to wait until I get my replacement 9700 for t-mobile :(
Rootbrian Dec 7, 2010 at 5:57 pm
I'm going to be trying this, hopefully it's not as buggy as the others were.

do i have to erase the t-mobile themes agian?
m_harrington Dec 7, 2010 at 7:05 pm
will i have to delete the themes agian does anyone know?
geek126 Dec 7, 2010 at 9:41 pm
I didn't have to delete cod files or vendor xml. This seemed to fix the page too large issue and the mms issue that I was having. I didn't have memory leak issues with .358 or as it seems this one. Too early to tell about battery life. Free memory is at 87 mb.
tuffy100 Dec 7, 2010 at 7:07 pm
installing it right now :)
ju1ce Dec 7, 2010 at 7:07 pm
Not sure bout the leak bug being fixed or not, but the copy/paste bug is still there. Checking other things out now
deloreancowboy Dec 7, 2010 at 7:08 pm
Glad I read all of the comments first... Basically just told me that everyone is downloading. Can we please stop with the "downloading now" posts and actually talk about how this build is working (or not). Just my 2 cents.
I'm really liking 358 right now so if someone can post their first reactions that would be apreciiated. As for the T-Mo issue. I'd just delete them anyways. Carrier themes are unnecessary.
mustangboy88 Dec 7, 2010 at 7:15 pm
You sound like someone that knows how this all goes down. That is why I would be almost certain you would know to follow fixes and bugs in the forums.
Just me 2 cents.
Blacklight2309 Dec 7, 2010 at 7:32 pm
installed it been using it for the pass hour..its more stable to me...but memory leak is still terrible..within 10 - 20 minutes i went from 77mb to 52mb....and thats with only network on....data and wi-fi were off. but its smoother in my opinion..it dont freeze that much compared to .358.
jwhelan Dec 7, 2010 at 7:46 pm
Installed.....
Links are working inside SocialScope!!
Cursor still not showing in bbm :(
brandito96 Dec 7, 2010 at 7:48 pm
people bbm picture issue seems to be fixed
Apocalypso Dec 7, 2010 at 8:07 pm
I've just finished installing this leak on my Berry. I downgraded to an offical OS5 version because of the persistent and thus annoying memory leaks I was having with .658.
So far I'm not having any memory leaks, but I know I'll need to give it some time before I make any solid opinions. I'm glad someone posted this leak as I was missing OS6. Hopefully I'll be able to stick with it!
I'll post any changes if I notice any.
artungonul Dec 7, 2010 at 8:07 pm
BBM is gone !!! it seems installed but it is not there
ebcruz76 Dec 8, 2010 at 9:47 am
Artungonul,
The same happened to me. I tried several ways to restore the apllication (through App World and desktop manager) with not succesfull results. The only way for me to restore BBM was by dowloading it from BB's homepage through the browser. Now, the BBM is working fine.
deadzone8 Dec 7, 2010 at 8:12 pm
Downloading now, I really like the direction of OS6, just there are a few things they really need to sort out. Last leak I had major problems with the browser crash on the Page too Large error that one was really annoying. Another issue is the cursor were you cant see it when moving through SMS's you get lost. One last issue I have is when movign the cursor through emails, you have to be really gentle when movign to the right, or else it just goes to the next email even when in text selection mode, its a really big problem if you need to select text or move through a paragraph to click a link.
Fingers Crossed
Coatta11 Dec 7, 2010 at 8:43 pm
I've been running this latest leak since it hit CB. Phone reboot seems even faster than before. The memory leak is still occurring but I've always considered the mem leak issue to be a slow drain and not something that happens very quickly like others seem to suggest. It can result in the phone becoming a little bit laggy over a period of days, but not to the point where it is unusable by any means. My boss for example hasn't done a battery pull since I installed the 344 release for him.
The cursor is still invisible when viewing messages, but for people that haven't realized this yet, all you have to do is hit the shift button and the cursor will appear, simple enough. I have also found that when using the manage connections/options display from the top of the home screen, the cursor is sometime invisible here as well, but simply exiting and re-entering the menu seems to solve that every time.
Aside from the unresolved mem leak and cursor disappearing act, I am hoping that the battery reporting improves. Of course the battery life has improved with OS6 but I have seen dramatic drops remaining battery life after the 35% remaining mark.
Regardless OS6 is still well worth the upgrade imo.
amirnabilkamelsaad Dec 8, 2010 at 9:09 am
This is just a hunch and correct me if I'm wrong, I had the same issue with OS 5 and honestly, it had nothing to do with OS 5...
It had to do with the battery dieing and needs replacement.
The issue came up because a lot of BB users had their batteries drained with the new OS (memory hogger) that it showed them all their batteries are running short after a year of purchase which is the same problem I had
BB battery indicators are very incorrect, Mini Moni on the other hand was very accurate to the voltage. Hope that helps
Oh and btw, I'm still on OS 5 because of the memory leaks in OS 6 and the issues with loading thousands of pictures just kills the battery.
This reminds me of OS 5 when it was just in beta 5.0.0.xx
Enjoy :D

KEEMZ116 Dec 7, 2010 at 10:03 pm
Very snappy os. Went from having 59 mb free in .358 to 79 mb free with this. Cursor issue and social feeds issue (articles not automatically loading) still present.
sirfer Dec 7, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Sombody tell me about battery drain and camera flash issue. Thx
swagg232 Dec 7, 2010 at 10:19 pm
I've been on Uber socialscope youtube and playing music so far the battery is fine. The camera works fine flash included. The auto focus is working. Everything actually seems way better except the cursor issue and you can't paste in uber or socialscope. O_o sounds like a keeper for me tho. No more hour glassing like b4.
zuckas Dec 7, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Try alt click or enter for paste
swagg232 Dec 7, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Okay alt and enter changes the language input and I don't know what alt CLICK is. If you mean the trackpad (no it doesn't work either)
zuckas Dec 8, 2010 at 1:36 am
I stand corrected. It's the Caps + Trackpad click. That's the paste.
zuckas Dec 9, 2010 at 11:37 pm
Did this last solution work for you?
openyoureyes Dec 7, 2010 at 10:14 pm
I can confirm for you guys, I am a T-Mobile user and I just upgraded to this leak from the previous 6.0.0.358. The "white screen" theme issue is no longer a problem. I did not delete any files except the obvious Vendor.xml and everything worked great. This OS does seem to be a little snappier but a fresh install always is. Will have to come back with further results in a little while but I can officially confirm the "white screen" theme issue is gone (at least if you are a T-Mobile user).
emtfick Dec 8, 2010 at 7:05 am
What about the problem with calling on UMA? Have you noticed if that problem was fxed with T-Mo?
openyoureyes Dec 8, 2010 at 9:15 am
To be honest I have not seen any UMA issues with the 9700 in general (other than a few older OS 5 leaks that dropped calls at less than 90% reception). Then again I don't use UMA too often but when I do, I can't say there are any issues.
zuckas Dec 9, 2010 at 11:39 pm
No issues with UMA here. Tmo user running .380
singmjo Dec 7, 2010 at 10:15 pm
Build includes Asian languages support. Also seems snappier....
zuckas Dec 7, 2010 at 10:30 pm
507 argh. I used BBSAK > factory reset > and wipe. starting over from scratch. good thing i backed up before.
zuckas Dec 8, 2010 at 1:40 am
Works great now. I messed up the first load. Make sure you use loader.exe and not DM. Tmo user. I deleted the theme files and vendor.xml just in case. Mem usage seems to be ok now. Flashlight does not kill the battery anymore, and the battery seems to be holding up pretty good, too. Time will tell. So far so good.
mizbubbl3z Dec 8, 2010 at 2:26 am
how did u install it
zuckas Dec 9, 2010 at 11:41 pm
Still having the weird sudden battery drop with .380. Overall the battery life seems to be a lot better, though.
inypark Dec 7, 2010 at 11:24 pm
just installed it.. this has asian language support!!
duvalchick02 Dec 8, 2010 at 12:24 am
I tried to download the OS on DM...and this message" One or more modules could not be resolved." do anyone know what this means or know what i should do??
HimeLowpez Dec 8, 2010 at 12:43 am
do not use dm to load the os...due to the leaked version it will not be recognized by dm...load the os using apploader which can be found program files>common flies> research in motion> apploader...good luck :)
mizbubbl3z Dec 8, 2010 at 2:11 am
what did you do after clicking on apploader?

Works like a charm!!!
HimeLowpez Dec 8, 2010 at 12:56 am
freshly installed ssssoon! sitting at 82.4mb, as mentioned before, no longer had to delete the two tmobile themes, ..one thing i quickly noticed is that when using unviersal search, browser option no longer appears, i only get "google local search"...is there something that i need to to restore the browser icon in universal search or has been removed in this current build?
kplam918 Dec 8, 2010 at 1:08 am

pbarbaro Dec 8, 2010 at 5:10 am
Just installed and noticed that the browser doesn't seem to be working with my WiFi, only on the network. I remember other people having this problem in previous leaks and was wondering if there was an answer??
Also I hope they fix the battery life problem (40% to zero in 1 second!!)

I have installed the new leaked os and immediately noticed a quicker experience the browser appears to be faster and can brows crackberry without page to large for device. However engadget wont load still.
I had more memory available than the previous leek.
Missing cursor bug still exists.

I'm saying fuck the hybrids and just going to shrink this one.
Every 9700 hybrid I've run has had pathetic memory leaks which were SUPPOSEDLY fixed from the 2nd OS leak forward.
jjca Dec 8, 2010 at 8:44 am
Wow…. What a difference…. The memory in my phone is much better, it runs very smooth… thanks crackberry you guys rock…

I have used all 3 of these leaks! And each one gets better! Can't wait to see final product! There are still small memory leaks bug it is a lot faster and my cursor working again! Wish I could get this on Tourch but with T-Mobile! Hate AT&t! Would never go there!
And I can't use my Golf Logics app! Been 2 weeks! Really miss that on golf course! Almost downgraded to OS 5 just to use that on course again! Anyone have a fix for that?
metgam Dec 8, 2010 at 10:10 am
Loaded and pretty much everything is working fine. One thing I noticed was when sometimes typing in email I noticed my cursor jumping to a different area on the screen or simply just disappearing. Anyone have the same problem?
dprophecy Dec 8, 2010 at 10:53 am
This OS .380 is definitely an upgrade from OS .358.
1. Much improve is memory leak issues.
2. No need to delete T-mobile theme cod files anymore
3. Great battery life
4. I haven't had an issue with the browser (will run some more tests, put it under more strain)
5. VERY VERY snappy (Maybe because I did a clean install only reloaded my address book etc.)
ONLY **CON** I FOUND SO FAR
1. Still unable to copy & paste (I was reading in passing a thread that stated it can be done but I don't remember the key combo)
Anyway OS .380 looks really good and feels solid. If you were unsure about jumping into OS 6 before put your fears aside and go for it, official release shouldn't be to far away now.
HimeLowpez Dec 8, 2010 at 11:19 am
ive noticed two things so far:
1) the boot up time imo appears slower than the two previous leaks
2) the scoremobile app gives me an error "error starting thescore $2dhigh: module 'thescore$2dhigh' attempts to access a secure API".... i was wondering if anyone else has encountered this?
kind of a drag since i love using the scoremobile app...all other apps i have installed work flawlessly
r_2key Dec 8, 2010 at 12:50 pm
just delete it and reinstall it. Mines working fine.
ryang003 Dec 8, 2010 at 1:29 pm
I am receiving the same error on the scoremobile app.
HimeLowpez Dec 8, 2010 at 2:59 pm
ive erased it and, rebooted, and reinstalled and still the same error comes up...anyone got any ideas???
nuke511 Dec 8, 2010 at 5:51 pm
I had the same problem. Don't re-install from app world. Go to scoremoble website, put in an email address and you will get a link sent to your phone. Download and install. Ver 1.6 was not working correctly for me and the link has ver 1.7 so I think it was fixed.
HimeLowpez Dec 8, 2010 at 11:55 pm
damn...ok i went to scoremobile website, got the link sent, followed it and clicked on download from the score and i get an error pag "404 not found"....damn it!! guess its just not meant to be :(
chromaticsauce Dec 8, 2010 at 11:35 am
first time i have installed os this way... have run the install from the download, goto apploader, it sees the device, however the os is not listed.... must be doing something wrong... any ideas? using win7. Have deleted the vendor file.
rohitberi Dec 8, 2010 at 11:42 am
in win7, when in the apploader folder through file explorer , click "Compatibility..." button on top, it reveals another copy of Vendor.xml that needs to be deleted...
chromaticsauce Dec 8, 2010 at 11:57 am
cool. will try later, away from machine now
StormJH1 Dec 8, 2010 at 12:10 pm
What I want to hear about are the white screen "Application Errors" that were present in .344 and .358. I NEVER had one of those crashes on OS5 in 10 months...they were happening 3 times a day in leaked OS6, which is unacceptable.
Also, how do you know if an app is even "compatible with OS6"? Do things like PingChat, Podtrapper, etc. work? Do they crash the phone?
Boldest9700 Dec 8, 2010 at 12:11 pm
Having issues with blue tooth redial. It will dial main number but not pause and dial extensions. it worked fine with 344 lost it with 358. hoping it would be back with 380 It works fine with direct dial from phone. Anyone else having this issue? memory leak still there and battery not too bad
mawil1013 Dec 8, 2010 at 12:34 pm
I'm going to install this leak, first leak I had zero problems.
My question is about what files can I delete that aren't relavent to running on Tmobile/USA??
Are there langauges or files for other service providers which could be deleted?

I just did a regular install, meaning no shrinking, no BBSAK, etc. I use Desktop Manager 4.7 IMHO, very solid build.
Recognizes new OS installs and I don't have to delete the vendor file.
Okay, early observations.
Application Memory Leak STILL there!! With all my apps and I have quite a few, my first boot after install was 50.8MB
As I start to re-register apps (actually activate them) that space diminishes. Loses memory after batter pull.
Do hope this gets fixed before OS 6.1 LOL!
Viewing pictures and zooming lag STILL there. Get the clock when I try and zoom! Redonkulos!
Camera STILL cannot find current location. Geo tagging is not happening. Other GPS apps have no problem finding me.
Flash works everytime.
The ability to send someone my location via text would be cool...STILL does not work! "Failed to complete the request. A Network error was encountered." The ability to send location or find a business and send via text are found when composing a text. Select the menu and "Attach" then select "Location." Awesome feature IF IT WOULD WORK!
COPY AND PASTE! Is this some really hard thing to get the phone to do. If you have to re-register your applications, plan on typing your registration codes manually. Paste will not work!
WHAT DOES WORK?
If you have SocialScope, then the links in the postings now work! That is pretty huge. Really annoying to have to scroll to the beginning of the link, highlight, copy and paste into browser. That was the work around. Now the links just work!
AT&T Navigator. I can now select a contact from the application. That did not work before. Lots of people are not on AT&T or have Nav, so a small point, except for the fact, I do expect the select contact feature to work in all other third party apps and that is very good.
On that note, any application that accesses your picture library NOW WORKS! That is really good!
Well that is all for now. Will keep my eye on memory and battery as everyone else.
mrjay34 Dec 8, 2010 at 1:22 pm
Havnt really noticed any imporvements,still running some tests tho'.
joeberrymomma Dec 8, 2010 at 2:24 pm
My post above yours outlines a few. Some others remain to be fixed!
DJLILM Dec 8, 2010 at 1:35 pm
the memory leak is better im stayin at 72MB the other two version i would have been down to 50MB
landorghini Dec 8, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Hey since I downloaded this OS6..I haven't been able to use Docs to Go app at all. Isn't it compatiable with this OS or not?
Sashko Dec 8, 2010 at 3:44 pm
Docs to Go works fine for me on .358
landorghini Dec 11, 2010 at 2:35 pm
How did u managed to get it to work? I can't even find it?
joeberrymomma Dec 8, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Still can't send someone a message using LinkedIn 1.5. Good app.
Open to compose a message and no menu available to send! BB Menu key or track pad, NO Menu available!
How many more leaks to get this to work? :(
teraflux Dec 8, 2010 at 5:08 pm
does anyone else notice that the facebook mobile site is reading the BB as a Curve 3G? or was this just a problem for my install?
TillMarch Dec 8, 2010 at 9:31 pm
I noticed that too! Odd but nothing problematic, is it? :p
PS im running 6....344
aj9604 Dec 8, 2010 at 5:58 pm
I have to say this build is amazing, so fast and stable, don't seem to be getting the too much memory issue in the browser like before, I am really pleased with this build
Fwoguin Dec 8, 2010 at 7:03 pm
Instaled within 20 mins of seeing the post and to be honest its a leap from 358 and 344.....fluent movement and yet to encounter a web browser issue...bbm pictures load faster and wifi is slightly more responsive....all in all that is worth the upgrade
dkustec Dec 8, 2010 at 7:13 pm
Anybody tried bb maps on this build?
Graphic rendering is soooo smooth and fast! Fastest than any other previous builds (5 & 6 Os'es)
:)
HimeLowpez Dec 9, 2010 at 12:03 am
definitely agree
srandazzo01 Dec 8, 2010 at 10:56 pm
Hello, is anyone else not having the camera zoom? I just upgraded and I don't have the + - on the icon to click a picture. Any suggestions? Thanks!
MILLYBLICK Dec 9, 2010 at 1:23 am
my opinion about some people comments are.... you guys simply don't know how to run a smooth installation. or it can be your device itself.
rdm21 Dec 9, 2010 at 2:22 am
I have the Blackberry 9700, and have used the leaked versions of OS 6.0. I don't have many problems with the OS. Unlike most people, I know that this is not an official version of the software, and I also know that bugs are expected in the "leaked" versions of the OS... For people to complain about it sounds rather foolish. If you want to spend the money to buy a new phone with the OS 6.0 already on it, knock yourself out. I know some of your are rather obsessed with keeping your phone up to date with the latest OS upgrades, but please remember, that if you are getting a leaked version, it is not official. Be patient though, because it does appear that they will release an official version of OS 6.0. Just think of what you're doing as beta testing. I am almost certain that those working for Blackberry (those who aren't whistle blowers) refer to this site as well as other sites and read the comments placed on various web blogs or sites which features a comment section and try to tweak the OS so that when they do come out with the official version, they have all the kinks worked out.
ragazzo311 Dec 9, 2010 at 6:34 pm
Ok, you contradicted yourself a little. You're writing about how foolish complainers sound... but if we didn't "complain" about the bugs, then how would those working for Blackberry know what kinds of bugs we're experiencing? Just sayin' =P
kiyotok Dec 9, 2010 at 3:37 am
Well everything seems ok for me (mind you I haven't been able to fully test out this new leak) but the damned memory leaks are still there!! From 72mb after reboot to 45.2mb 2 hours later! I've downloaded all the 9700 os 6 leaks so far, but this problem still persists...
mackemdave Dec 9, 2010 at 4:33 am
I upgraded, it all seems the same to me.
I still have the problem where I do not have an option to select 2g only on the mobile nw options, I only get the 2&3g . problem where i work as it has a very faint 3g signal and always tryies to pick it up
pbarbaro Dec 9, 2010 at 5:32 am
I agree that the 2G optiopn was very handy and I hope its on the official version when it comes out. Can anyone tell me if the 2G only option is available on the Torch??
shivamdewan Dec 9, 2010 at 5:06 am
iam not able to upgrade.pls help..
i tried using app loader as well as DM..
pbarbaro Dec 9, 2010 at 5:36 am
I have downloaded all the leaks and the browser was great on the 358 leak being great. I have had a couple of times when I have had a few tabs open it telling me that I have insufficient memory and need to close some tabs, but if I cancel it the browser works fine. More of a nuisance than anything else.
js88sj Dec 10, 2010 at 6:01 am
Did anybody have met "Initialization Failed" problem after power-on? My 9700 can't regist in the network after update to OS6, need a battery pull evrytime.
Help!!
fbadini Dec 12, 2010 at 5:24 am
Yes I did
Are you on BES? I am, it might be the reason
ashdeltor Dec 9, 2010 at 8:14 am
Everything is cool, but still some bugs. the barcode scanner in Blackberry app world isn't working..
swalker2001 Dec 9, 2010 at 9:14 am
I noticed that the battery bug is still there....last night went from 35% battery to 8% instantly. Thought they would have fixed that one by now.
pbarbaro Dec 10, 2010 at 2:17 am
Am still having the same problem. Hope this is fixed before official release.
popperfrozy Dec 9, 2010 at 9:59 am
I just installed this version on my T-Mobile 9700. So far, it's great! I love this os - nice improvement. I followed the instructions previously posted here for a prior leaked version (including deleting the Tmo theme files and vendor file) and those instructions were perfect. Hopefully the loss of memory won't make the phone sluggish. But no other issues so far, other than copy/paste not working!
punisher85 Dec 9, 2010 at 11:03 am
Hello, I had 3days ago a battery loss from 50% to 10% in one night with .354 (it was the first time since i have the phone 8months. now i installed 2days ago, it has the same problem with browser that freeze sometimes,memorry usage is less then before. we wait and see
srdryl Dec 9, 2010 at 1:11 pm
I Downloaded And Applied The Latest New 6.0.0.380 OS Update & I Love 6.0 But I Thought It Would Fix The Theme Issue Since I Didn't Have To Delete The "Net_Rim_Theme" For T-Mobile After Updating. I Am A Theme Phanatic So Since I Didn't Have To Delete The Net_Rim_Theme Where & How Do I Obtain Themes For The New Updated Leak Cause My 9700 Themes Dont Work & 9800 Ones Don't Either.
Please Help
HimeLowpez Dec 9, 2010 at 4:46 pm
ummm.....yeah...were all stuck with the "stock theme"...there arent any themes available for os6 yet and wont be for some time.....
ragazzo311 Dec 9, 2010 at 6:22 pm
I finally got to install this leak last night and after reading some of the posts I was hoping that most of the bugs were gone or at least close to being fixed. Boy was I wrong! Memory leak has gotten worse for me. I went from 85MB to 53MB in less than a day (previous leak would remain in the 70s regardless of usage or time). It is too early for me to tell if the battery issue is still there so I will report back on that one...
AnthonyRH Dec 9, 2010 at 8:31 pm
Can someone give me the steps to put this OS in my bold via a mac?
TheStupidGenius Dec 9, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Ohhh, I like this release. One of my major complaints about the prior leak (.340?) was certain apps, BBNotepad for example, worked halfway. BBNotepad would open, but the menu wouldn't pop up. Hopefully this one won't randomly hang up when scrolling through pics on my device like the other one did :/
Eruesso Dec 9, 2010 at 10:33 pm
The leak is good on my device. Only concern is the memory leak, though not that much. A soft reset from time to time will fix it.
joeshark Dec 9, 2010 at 10:52 pm
Working Awesome compared to prior builds.
Past few days, minimal memory leakage compared to priors.
I did a full wipe, and only restored personal info. I had over 80mb's of memory available :D Compared to other builds @ 50-60 or so.
So far, no prob with battery life.
I use Quick pull app, works great to restart fone, & regain lost memory.
BTW restart time is blazingly fast, literally fone restarts in about 10-15 seconds; compared to over a minute with OS5 or prior OS6 builds.
Hoping the next build will improve on this one even more :)
T305 Dec 10, 2010 at 12:18 am
Idk if its my device but calls are horrible on wifi and uma and normal 3G. But then again its a “leak"
Eruesso Dec 10, 2010 at 1:53 am
I also noticed that when the device is in the holster, I can't change music track and volume. I need to remove it first from the holster to be able to do so.
Adambelly Dec 10, 2010 at 8:52 am
LOVE OS6 - however it is a memory and battery drainer... before i installed i had 90+ mb and now only 26mb... oh well - its worth it so far!
rlaurendi Dec 10, 2010 at 10:08 am
Have used for 2 days now and there are no big issues. 2 small bugs I have found are 1) The TOP Tray will not scroll correcty if fonts are set to 9 or larger (8 scrolls fine). 2)Duplicate icons created in Favorite tab. Absolutely no browser issues (I have 71 megs free).
citydavae Dec 10, 2010 at 11:11 am
Anybody has problem recieving wit bluetooth I dnt see tht option why is tht????
nccjones Dec 10, 2010 at 12:18 pm
Love it! I'm not a blackberry or tech savvy person, but I love my blackberry and really wanted the OS6. I was nervous at first installing it since it's unofficial but it installed perfectly with no problems. The only issue I'm having so far is not the battery, but memory. I don't have alot of apps but my memory after install started at 59MB tthen dropped to 34MB and I haven't done anything since loading it. As for the program itself...the only suggestions I have is let us be able to put the folders we want on the slide feature. I usually hide the Media folder and now I'm stuck with it when I slide. Also...the Frequent tab is a bit redundent when we have a Favorties tab. Other than that...bring on the official release!
punisher85 Dec 10, 2010 at 12:35 pm
This update .380 is converted from curve 9300, you can see it when you browse on facebook with wifi, and on the bottom of the page can you see "download facebook for your curve 9300; I have browser problerms because it use less memmory .
battery is realy bad, last night was my battery 35% and if i checked this morning was it 4% !!! maybe i go to the early leak it was better i think, or wait for a new leak, any suggestions,? the other os .344 was converted from torch
barg23 Dec 10, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Question, this leak is much better than the other 2 previous ones, the pronlem is i can not text messaging isnt working! I can only text other tmo customers. How do i fix this? Has any one else had this problem.
bb9700sorin Dec 10, 2010 at 6:21 pm
380 installed succesfully.The leak is pretty good,it's running since afternoon...I'm in Vodafone network and I noticed only one bug so far, the last sms received it's not showing at all,I can see the preview but not the content,it's all grey...other than that everything runs smoothly.
srdryl Dec 11, 2010 at 11:38 am
Fellow Blackberry Addicts (LoL),
Can Someone Please Explain Something To Me: Why Is It (When It Comes To The Leak) I Can Download 3rd Party Apps Such As Games & Utilities For 9780 As Well As 9700. So If Thats The Case Can Someone Please Explain To Me Why The Themes I Download For 9700 or 9780 Don't Work?
Thanks
rexknapps Dec 11, 2010 at 12:05 pm
Has anyone noticed in .380 that the calendar app does not scroll left or right from today to tomorrow or yesterday etc using the track pad? You have to use the drop down menu to select the date you want.
citydavae Dec 11, 2010 at 6:16 pm
It does for me
rexknapps Dec 12, 2010 at 2:14 am
Who is your carrier? I have AT&T.

cyberkid_aw Dec 11, 2010 at 5:16 pm
Well I love using Os 6 on my bold2. But I have to ask is there any theme out there for this Os? I can't seem to find any.
Chicaheather Dec 11, 2010 at 9:02 pm
I downloaded it. Used it...took a while for it to not lag - kept getting the timer/clock icon. Got a video sent to me, when I tried to play it, it said the video server is busy or something. Tried to view one of my videos, it did the same thing. Rebooted, and then the screen went white and it said (in small letters) JML error (I think that's what it was) and had to select continue. Then, when it rebooted, I had NO text messages. None. And nowhere was the option to keep them forever. So I reinstalled the older software that I had on before. Did all of that happen to anyone else?? Does anyone know when this will be officially released??
Cyndi Loo Dec 12, 2010 at 4:13 pm
UMM has anyone else had problem with the bb app world not working @ all??? if i install it it messes up my other apps and then it disappears lol
punisher85 Dec 12, 2010 at 6:39 pm
No cyndi loo, I had no problems,
If i browse on internet with my 9700 there comes error message at websites that is more than 4mb; now if my battery is empty i will install the early version,
DCorrea702 Dec 22, 2010 at 11:05 pm
My biggest issue is that none of my emails work. this is what i do...
1. Go into Email Setup
2. Sign in into Existing User profile
3. I type in the password to synchronize my email contacts/calendar with my device. after i type the password in i get an error message saying: "Your device encountered a problem with this application's server. Select OK and repeat the action to try again."
Did ANYONE have the same problem???
PLEASE help, cuz this is keeping me from restoring my bbm as well...
aa25007 Dec 30, 2010 at 12:14 am
I downloaded the .344 os and it was the worst idea ever hopefully this one works...
Genorajput Jan 9, 2011 at 6:34 am
Hi I am on Hutchison 3G UK network . . . Can I upgrade to this OS without having any issues with my BES ?!
germantaco34 Jan 31, 2011 at 8:32 pm
NONE OF THESE DOWNLOADS WORKS FOR MAC...
everytime i try to open it it says that the software is only for windows....
Some one PLEASE post a link that works on mac too....its bullshit how the software is legally out for every blackberry other than the 9700
thanks
