You guys can install this OS if you have a 8520.

Follow the steps in this thread to install for any carrier: http://bit.ly/clItdQ

Can someone post a RS or HS or something else please.
In my computer I cant DL from blackberry.
I know, this is ridiculous but all files DL from Blackberry are not good.

Thank you

I'm a new bb user so, I was wondering if this will work with the Curve 8530. Thanks

i've been using 5.0.0.592 for about 2 weeks now and i've been all through all my apps and everything works great! i have the 8520 from t-mobile and i have absolutly no complaint's with this os version ! i might add also that for all you guys still running the default 4.6 os that this 5.0.0.592 surely has some eye-catching new quality's that will make you not regret this upgrade. so go for it!

Funny, I'm running a .592 leaked on march 23

Does this OS work on Verizon 8900 also?

does this version have the trackpad issue

The newest download available for 8900 is 906> Anybody got something different?

I'm running leaked .592 and it's of course cooler with also some new features than my prev official .509 but, I have some issues such as missing BB App World icon, missing sound notification for iskoot and freezing quite a lot. Hopefully this official doesn't have issues I mentioned. And I'm downloading now ;)

Does this WIND release have added software than the leaked 5.0.592 OS? Also, is the OS branded (boot screen, themes) like Rogers release?

I can't find the 592 download> all i get is 509.

Does anyone else on TMobile get the My Faves icons back on their home screen after this update? Pretty annoying since it isnt offered anymore and I can even seem to open the program. Any way to get rid of this. Or I may have to go back to .411

Thanks Manic2403. I'm downloading now.

Ok I just downloaded this version....but I lost all of my programs, themes, even my contacts. I have a back up but how can I import my old programs in to this new version? Anyone?

works great, thanks

guys keep the info coming and say in this official release if there are and fixes or bugs please

Hey CrackBerry friends,

I have a BB 8900 and just downloaded .592 for the 8900 from WIND hellas. Also I have the latest version of BDM. .592 IS installed and I see the files in shared folder

Problem: When I go to Apploader it doesn't find the files necessary to load .592. When I try to "Add" them it says the files are not compatible.

How do I solve this?

Thanks in advance,

Hern

In this one I notice BBM is 5.0.0.66

Is this possible with a mac or is there an ota for any 5.0?

Niceee! Thank you for the info!!!

it didn't take long for the leak to turn into an official release! wow! .60x must be around the corner.

Here are rs.com links for both the 8520 and the 8900 (5.0.0.592)

i have finished installing the firmware and so far it looks amazing. considering this was my first update from 4.6! I have a problem with App worl, I'm in UAE and appworld is not availaible out here.

So i researched and followed the advice on this link:
http://just-blackberry.blogspot.com/2010/01/blackberry-app-world-for-os-...

the phone rebooted and stuff but the apploader is no where to find. I ran the software update on the OS and it showed APpworld in the list and then said no update availaible.

Need someone's help desparately.

Thanks

i cant find the vendor xml. never done this before, i have the new os on my desktop from the download, now what do i do , could someone please give me steps to do this the right way?!

thanks SO VERY MUCH FOR THE TIME AND HELP

Go to this page and it gives you step by step directions .....

thanks so much

It's not showing up in my Desktop Manager. I do not have the apploader folder and my vendor.xml is deleted from my system. i've deleted/removed and reinstalled 2x now. What gives?

Here is the megaupload link for the 8900 Curve 5.0.0.592
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FKDWD5V0

My message folders (Aol/Yahoo) will not display their icons, it's just that white envelope which I can't stand, I sent the service books several times but no change.

any noticeable operating/visual differences between this OS and .411? The leap from 4.6 to 5.0 is obviously huge but I can't seem to get motivated enough to do keep up with all these incremental 5.0 releases

is any one using the appworld on OS 5 series in the non liste countries? I'm guessing that appworld is not compatible with OS 5 on 8520. Again a dart in dark i guess

not the sharpest knife in the drawer but here's stuff i've noted:

just upgraded my os from .461 to .592. as was the case when i uploaded .461, had to disconnect from the internet to get the os to load. worked fine from there.

had bb app world loaded while running .461. it worked fine. when i loaded .592, couldn't find the icon though it still showed as loaded on my device. deleted and reloaded it and it works fine again.

have had .592 on my curve for roughly an hour and, as yet, have noted no major differences over .461. still, like the threaded texts, faster browser and many of the cosmetic differences over the 4.6 os. still the neatest feature is the auto update time zone. all by itself, makes the 5.0 upgrade worthwhile.

I successfully installed the file, and have my blackberry connected to my computer.
When I open the blackberry file under my computer it says application loader but its a .dll file and says it cant open unless I find a program-so I can't even get to the part of deleting the vendor file.
FYI, i just recently ( about a month or so ago) upgraded from a leaked version so the official .509 and that worked well, I saw the app loader thing and everything worked.
Any idea on how I can get to the app loader file if its omly a .dll file and I can't open it?
TIA

I upgraded from 4.6 to 5.0.0.592 earlier on following the instructions here, everything went smoothly except for the BB App World icon not showing after the install. Re-installed App World and everything seems to be working just fine so far. Thanks!

i need someone to tell me how to update to the 5.0 OS. i was able to update the build of my 4.6 using the FIDO OS release, but i cant do it for this 5.0 windels one. iv tried using the desktop manager and the app loader. i been deleting the vedor file and running as administrador but the os dosnt show up as an option to load

Seems i'm missing the apploader file. Is there anyway I can get it bakc? I uninstalled and reinstalled desktop manager and its still not there

r the trackpad issues on the leaked version still here

I installed the file for my 8900 and deleted the vendor file. When I connect my BB to the desktop manager, it's not recognizing the upgrade. I also disconnected from the internet like some previous comments suggested. What I am doing wrong? I want to get the new OS and I also have T-Mobile.

Help please!! Thank you!

does this include WORDMOLE?
i thought i read somewhere that certain releases weren't including it anymore...? or am i just way off

this version does not include sudoku does anyone have the sudoku version for 8900?

ok this is not working for trackpad

I just upgraded my 8900 from .509 and whatever they did to this totally f'ed up the camera. It seems I can only take 1 picture then I have to close the camera program. And I have to be lucky to even be able to close it without crashing. Also with any level of zoom on the display just goes black every couple of seconds then comes back and rezooms in.

Though on the plus side berryWeather decided to start automatically updating again, which it ceased to do with either of the last 2 os upgrades I did.

edit: well my bb decided to make a liar out of me...i just installed the new google maps, rebooted, and afterwards went to see if I could find any other problems with the camera...needless to say it now works better than ever. Dunno what the problem was before reboot seems to have cured it though. I did notice that there is now a macro focus option in the options menu, you can also turn off autofocus for some reason.

How comes when i go on the link the version is like 5.0.0.860?

This is for everyone that is struggling with installing the new OS 5.0.0.592 on their 8520 as I have for days before I figured out the problem.

For windows Vista/7 users, after deleting the vendor.xml file from the apploader folder, click on "Compatiblity Files" right at the top and you will find another copy of vendor.xml that also needs to be deleted, once that's done go back into the apploader folder, run loader.exe and enjoy :)

worked for me!

P.S. .592 is so amazing, thank you WIND hellas

Can someone say if the trackpad issue has been sorted out u would like to install this update

I just downgraded back to .411 --- is there a reason that Memos are not available on either of the 5.0 softwares?

Hey guys,

What logo will I see when I boot up my device once I have installed the os? Wind Hella's logo or my carrier's logo?

Thanks for your help

i need help downloading it to my phone someone please

Installed os 5 and downgraded the next day back to 4.6 for the curve 8520. I didn´t have any problems with the trackpad like many people have stated but i found the browser was way much slower than os 4.6 browser. Another problem I had was that that sometimes the phone would get stuck for a couple of seconds when opening a new app. I imagine the 8520's memory and processor are not enough to run os 5 smoothly, like running windows 7 on an old machine. My phone runs way much faster ans smoother on 4.6.

Has anyone had this problem too?

Update (18/05/2010): Just downloaded and installed the official version for my carrier and everything is running faster and smoother. I would advice to wait for your carriers offical update, wind hellas update didn´t work for me.

I have a different service provider ?
do i also need to find "vendor.xml" and delete the file and that'll solve the issue ?

I need some help please, I have downloaded and installed this OS as well as the Desktop Manager but when I run Loader it does not see any installed OS. I'm trying to help a friend out with his nuked 8900, but I also noticed the same thing when I tried to upgrade my 9700. Can anyone point me in the right direction???

I've downloaded and installed it yesterday like a charm.
I didn't have any problem : trackpad, google maps, Texas ... everything is OK.
So, was it worth ?
I'd say OS 5 is simply about look and feel. It's not iPhone, it's simply a nicer 4.6. In my opinion, a major version (5.0) is too much. A minor revision (4.7, or even 4.6.2) would have been more than enough.
I don't regret it though, I'd rather say "Much ado about nothing".

I've installed this SO version on my BB 8900 but now, it doesn't work on 3G !!!! So...I went to settings to change the option from 2G to 3G but there is no such option !!!!! How can I resolve it? Thanks
