9530 

More OS love floating around early this morning. Storm users get all the glory today, as OS 4.7.0.173 for the 9500 and 4.7.0.167 for the 9530 popped up on the interwebs overnight. Not the newest OS versions, but still some fun to play around with for Storm users. Check out the links below to download.

*Be sure to go to Control Panel > Add/Remove after installing and remove RIM Internal Tool if the application is present*

*OS Disclaimer - This is an unofficial release. 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. *

Mirror for the original version. I installed this one, and once it installed, I just uninstalled the RIM Tools via Control Pannels.

(if you can't see the whole file name, here is the ending...

_PBr4.7.0_rel230_PL4.0.0.205_A4.7.0.167.exe )

Mirror for the 'No RIM Tools' version.

How it reacts. I will download but not use yet. FB probably won't work, but there is a new one of those coming out soon.

 
 
Posted by HyEcLsS007 Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 891 days ago

facebook and apps world both work with this update

 
 
Posted by acnst Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

A1 is a carrier in Austria. This not a beta version. This a carrier approved/certified version.

 
 
Posted by xantius Friday, Sep 04, 2009 891 days ago

Don't they carry only the 9500? Why would they have the 9530 os?

 
 
Posted by jessysshameless Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

Facebook, twitter, all social networking, Vz Nav, BBM 5.0 etc.
It all works but now its super fast

 
 
Posted by GargoyleDC Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

Which one is "everything works" refering to?

 
 
Posted by PDM Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

As per acnt's comment above this is NOT BETA. Its an OFFICIAL release from A1 carrier in Austria.

 
 
Posted by RyanGS Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

K sounds like a newbie question but what are these and why wouldnt you want them installed?

 
 
Posted by tpa78mch Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

I installed but it does not read the new software in desktop manager. What am i doing wrong? Do i need to install the version without the extra RIM tools?

 
 
Posted by socalocal18 Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

Will i be able to update my phone on my mac now with the new desktop manager leak???

 
 
Posted by pbrstanwood Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

Posted by hashay Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

I feel like a kid at Christmas. I can't wait to see what happens.

 
 
Posted by hjcombs Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

Please post an update to let us know how it works.

Thanks!!

 
 
Posted by bb-rookie Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

I must say. Ive been with crackberry for about a year now. Read everything and upgrade everytime there is a leak. So far this is The Best leak yet. It is super fast. I mean instant. So far everything works like a charm. Only time will tell.

 
 
Posted by hjcombs Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

Good news - I am downloading it but not sure if I want to install. Last update, the camera stopped working.

 
 
Posted by joshtown Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

Ultra fast. The transitions (zoom in, zoom out) from .151 are a ton smoother, and can really be noticed on this build. So far, that's the biggest difference. The speed, all around, is noticeable too.
One thing I am getting though is every time I start the phone, it seems I send a message with "Device Status Information" to a certain e-mail address. That can't be good, can it? Anyone know what I did wrong?

 
 
Posted by fryechad Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

Is it to a quincy ? if it is , it is sending a restart report to there server. If this is happening you forgot to delete the recomended files

 
 
Posted by joshtown Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

It's probably because I downloaded it with RIM Tools. When you push the blackberry button, you get a "BugReport" button too. For anyone wondering which version to DL, I would imagine go with the version WITHOUT RIM Tools.

 
 
Posted by hashay Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

All is good so far. A noticeable performance increase. The transition when closing a program has improved.

 
 
Posted by tpa78mch Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

Everything seems to work great, still have Facebook and BB messenger so that is a plus. lol Only thing is that the restore process failed to reload all of my SMS and email messages and gives me an error everytime i retry. Any suggestions on what is causing this error?

 
 
Posted by pena1182 Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

well i see that the upgrade for the 9500 is official and should have no problems but how is the 9530 responding? is the OS stable or does it have a load of bugs. any any try it out yet

 
 
Posted by NCREDIBLE GARY Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

How's the battery life?

 
 
Posted by ajtouchstone Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

My Desktop Manager doesn't prompt me to update. I used the one with RIM's tools removed.

:(

 
 
Posted by statons Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

I just installed the "mirror w/o RIM Tools." Everything is working fine. Facebook, Poynt, Stormlock, Camera (faster, Weatherbug, AppWorld and memory is running at 42.2 MB of Application Memory. Transitions are very much improved over 4.7.0.151. My advice.......UPGRADE NOW!

 
 
Posted by mds4752 Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

Is BBM 5.0 working with this OS?

 
 
Posted by tpa78mch Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

Is anyone having problems viewing email after installing? The notification symbol is there but when i go into the email folder it shows No Message.

 
 
Posted by groovedaddy24 Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

I am having that problem too. It appears in my "overall message" folder, but Not in my specific email folder...?????? So far that seems to be the only issue, otherwise it is nice!

 
 
Posted by groovedaddy24 Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

ok, i am showing SMS icon and i know i received one, but it is nowhere to be found????????? anyone???????

 
 
Posted by grundyman Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

go to options, advanced options, host routing tables , hit blackberry key, then register now. that should do it

 
 
Posted by groovedaddy24 Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

thanks but didn't work.

 
 
Posted by rpp2 Friday, Sep 04, 2009 891 days ago

I am having the same issue with my emails. It seems to show up on the actual email icon, but when I open up my email it is empty, but inside of my All message folder it works fine. A little annoying, but as u stated it everything else works fine. Much faster. Also what version did you download .167, .167 mirror, or .167 mirror w/o RIM tools?

 
 
Posted by bb-rookie Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

The only problem i have is when I recieve a text I can open it with the today on my theme but it doesnt show up in my sms folder. Just rebooted and seeing if that fixed it. Anybody else have that problem?

 
 
Posted by britttfx3 Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

I am too :( It's the theme.

 
 
Posted by mds4752 Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

Never mind....I just read jessysshameless posting above. according the him/her, BBM 5.0 is working. I may have to install this one tonight. Would rather go with the 5.0.0.191, but sort of like using my camera and FB.

 
 
Posted by statons Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

Yes BB Messenger 5.0 works fine...

 
 
Posted by j916 Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 892 days ago

everything works on it even BBM 5.0. It runs fast and smooth. it looks like 3rd party aps work on it also. i just used quick pull and works fine. definetly worth a download. I used the one with the RIM tools removed.
