Leaked OS 6.0.0.450 for the BlackBerry Torch 9800

OS 6.0.0.246 Torch 9800

Well after a long drought for the BlackBerry Torch 9800, we got not one but two OS leaks today! This morning we saw 6.0.0.448, and now 6.0.0.450 has appeared out of nowhere. No word on why this one came out so soon after 6.0.0.448, so if you see anything that's fixed or changed let us know!

*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).

Wtf I finished installing .448 right this second :@. Never thought I'd say this but slow down with the leaks lol.

Posted by TLS2000 Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

I wonder if this was leaked because of a big bug in .448 on the Torch or something?

Posted by aidiebravo Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

Running .337 now. Hopefully there's a fix for the crummy battery life in here somewhere. Oh, and does anyone else have something going on with their camera? There are times when it will open up, but
won't even work.

Mine has to stay in facial detection mode to wrk. Been waiting for a new OS forever to fix that a couple other things hopefully this one does.

Posted by ctki223 Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

Yeah my camera didn't work sometimes either. I pulled the battery then put it back in and it worked.

Posted by Cntdwn Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

Wow, I JUST finished installing 448 and was reading through my XPRSS and saw this. Holy flippin' snapper doodle.
I opened up XPRSS, when to the crackberry feed, saw Leaked OS 6.0.0.450....oh ya just installed that. Read the second feed, third feed, fourth feed - Leaked 6.0.0.448....oh ya, just installed that.....wait say whaaaaaaat. I'm on my way to half in the bag, but not that much yet!

Posted by Demonchildinc Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

come on now i just finished .448 slow down rim...(dont believe i just said that)

Posted by hambubba Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

screen locked up on my torchie, had to reboot to get the touch back. that might be the problem.

Posted by Tapeworm Sunday, Jan 30, 2011 388 days ago

Woke up the morning after installing and the screen froze. I could hear the clicking, but no movement on the screen. I downgraded to .248 and don't have that problem anymore.

Posted by Chas71 Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

Crazy.... I just finished with .448 LMAO

Posted by hambubba Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

Posted by mscanz.v Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

just upgraded frm 9700 to 9800 Wed! Already 3 updates (:

Posted by djdnz Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

I guess this makes up for the lack of leaks up to this point :) I just finished installing .448, I think I'll wait until I hear some reports about this one.

Posted by phantommadman Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

I'll stick with .448 works good on my torch, Shouldn't be to much of a difference from .448, Don't get me wrong I will be installing .450 after I test .448.

BUT thanks for the love RIM

Posted by LuckyBastad Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

Thanks a lot, I sincerly hopes this fix this buggy device! Geeesh!

Posted by Vurhan Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

Thankgod I was late for the fo fo eight.

Posted by cbaholic Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

Wow, Two updates within hours!
Noticed .448 defaulted to installing English, German and Spanish Languages where .450 resolved that.
After installing .450 9800 lost its touch capabilities on home screen but rebooted and was fine. Hopefully this update proves worthy!

So far running lightning fast, picture transition much smoother and no problem with camera or focus!

Posted by jotade Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

I installed 450 and everything its working normal. Fonts are bigger

Posted by fabfreddie Friday, Jan 28, 2011 390 days ago

I installed, didn't notice much difference from 337, maps still sucks major dick, and now I've lost my Blackberry Podcast by getting a "uncaught exception: java.lang.illegalargument exception" when I click on it!!!

Blackberry has and does play a major role in keeping my life in order, but this bullshit is getting ridiculous, we waited this long for a leaked nothing????

Agree with what you've found and has also fixed a homescreen refresh that used to lag and then require reboot to fix. Putting it throught the paces and passing each time, even the browser fix when had full signal but wouldn't load a page. Pictures loading & not lagging or locking up either.

Posted by davidadammpetroff Saturday, Jan 29, 2011 389 days ago

Anyone notice that it screws up the headphone jack recognition. Before installing the leak i had no problems with any headphones i used, Now after the leak my dre headphones or any other one i plug in the blackberry doesn't recognize i click on the activate handset but it just plays softly thru the speaker phone

Posted by kidmac13 Sunday, Jan 30, 2011 389 days ago

what Dre's do you use? because my Dre's(solo's) never worked with the torch, and neither did alot of others. unless you were just using them for music.

Posted by cyriel00 Saturday, Jan 29, 2011 389 days ago

Installed the version, but unfortunately the sms bug (only 10 recipients allowed) is NOT fixed!!

found a free program to send sms to more then 10 persons at the same time: its called

TXTLATER.

Posted by ISUNickIV Saturday, Jan 29, 2011 389 days ago

Just installed. Installation when fine! Another thing I've noticed is that when you plug the USB into your computer, it gives you three options: USB Drive, Sync Media, Charge Only. However, my charge icon is still a lightning bolt. Not a problem for me though.

Posted by sk8er_tor Saturday, Jan 29, 2011 389 days ago

Didn't it always give those three options? And you're right about the lightning bolt. It no longer fades in and out which was more annoying that anything. But now when fully charged, you see the plug icon in the battery indicating it's being powered using the AC adaptor.

Another thing I found was that streaming music over WiFi is now awesome - no more buffereing while the music is playing which used to happen in .337.

Posted by Pat6290 Saturday, Jan 29, 2011 389 days ago

The SMS bug was that when the thread gets to long it loads in the middle, not that it's limited to 10 recipients

Posted by theKevinArms Saturday, Jan 29, 2011 389 days ago

where can i get 6.0 for a 9700? website or something?

Posted by Skezza Saturday, Jan 29, 2011 389 days ago

Just finished installing 450 after installing 448 last night, one thing I have noticed with both 450 and 448 is when I forward a text, it now starts which "the original senders name says" ie, John Smith says then is says the body of the text I am sending, does anyone know how I can stop it from including the senders name in the forwarded text

Posted by iuhaq Tuesday, Feb 01, 2011 386 days ago

Did you get any reply on this issue, as I am facing the same?

Posted by Sam_lb Saturday, Jan 29, 2011 389 days ago

Guys when i installed the 448 I noticed that the proximity sensor is not working while doing a call :S Im downloading the 450....

Posted by wickedv6 Saturday, Jan 29, 2011 389 days ago

I just installed .450 last night and now my universal search doesn't work anymore. Do I have to do anything to get it going again?

Posted by bluesman88 Sunday, Jan 30, 2011 388 days ago

Can someone give me some tips on how to take this file from my computer to my BB so I can install it? I was having problems downloading it with my mobile web.

Posted by 2wheeltim Sunday, Jan 30, 2011 388 days ago

This file is not to download onto your Berry directly. It downloads to a PC, runs an application that installs a program on the PC that in turn installs the operating system onto your phone. There are many different procedures to accomplish this. There are many forum discussions on here that give excellent step by step guides. I suggest taking a couple hours just to familiarize yorself with the forums to take advantage of the help available on here!

Posted by tonyp216 Sunday, Jan 30, 2011 388 days ago

just installed and i cant send the contact card throught BBM arrrghhh

Posted by mikaela73 Sunday, Jan 30, 2011 388 days ago

OK, dumb question...I've installed 450 on my phone, but now all my settings are back to the factory defaults. Is there a way to use my backup that I created to get all my settings, ringtones, etc back?

Posted by AvidBerryUser Sunday, Jan 30, 2011 388 days ago

Installed it.. facing an interesting change. The carrier icon is no longer AT&T but 'AT&T' with the '' !! Anyone else notice the change??

Posted by habsfan170 Sunday, Jan 30, 2011 388 days ago

To me, 450 is the best leak yet - it took all of the speed of 448, and improved the navigation smoothness. Really like this one!

Posted by Adiq Monday, Jan 31, 2011 387 days ago

Has anyone noticed BBM & T4BB have newer versions in this leak? Or is it just me? My BBM version is 5.0.1.45 and my T4BB is 1.0.1.11.

Posted by Finch250 Monday, Jan 31, 2011 387 days ago

omg i thought i was the only 1, i noticed bbm diff on .448 but i wasnt sure... i cant remember wat is the difference either, i jus felt it looked wierd
