While the most recent leak for the BlackBerry Curve 8520 placed the OS at 5.0.0.554, OS 5.0.0.592 has now shown up on the WIND Hellas website for 8520 users to download. If you've been running the leaked version it might be a good idea to get this one downloaded and installed. Also, 8900 owners can grab the same OS. As always, remember to back up your device before loading as well, make sure you remove the vendor.xml file in WIND Hellas is not your carrier.

For Orange Uk's turn ! :)
5.0.0.592 for Curve 8900 is avail from Wind Hellas too!

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!
Im new into all this... I've tried every single way and i keep getting the message that no actions are required or that there is no need for another software and all that. Yup. Im still with the 4.6 so what should/can do with this problem? =)
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
u can change it in the themes options it is a t-mobile theme it took me a while to figure it out but i finally got hope this helps
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?
If you have a backup of your old OS, use the Backup/Restore feature of DM and restore.
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
If you don't delete the "vendor.xml" (you will find it in here "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoaderfile") before you start the uploader.exe (but with the phone connected first), it will not find the files or accept them. If you delete it before running the uploader.exe it will do everything by itself! Hope everything goes smoothly.
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?
Yes it is. First, find the "vendor.xml" with the phone connected, delete it and just run the desktop manager. And follow the onscreen instructions.
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?
hey make sure you have desktop manager 5.0 installed then go to local disc>program files>common files>research in motion>apploader>delete vendor file and either use DM or apploader to install the os
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
