Official BlackBerry Curve 8900 OS 5.0.0.411 Released By Multiple Carriers

Was only a matter of time before we seen the release of OS 5.0.0.411 for the BlackBerry Curve 8900. Seeing how the Bold 9000 version was released just the other day, we can expect to see some others roll out as well. If you are already running the 5.0.0.411 leak, no need to upgrade from that since this is indeed the exact same release. Enjoy folks and keep your eyes open for more 5.0 releases. If you are for the first time upgrading to 5.0 remember to remove your vendor.xml file.

HEY DO YOU HAVE THIS FOR TMO?? DOES IT WORK??

As long as you delete the vendor.xml file, it will work perfectly.
I have a Curve 8900 on Tmo, and had a 5.0 OS before. delete the vendor file, then install it, and you're set!

An official from AT&T?

Relesing with the theme and camera bug is very odd.

"If you are already running the 5.0.0.411 leak, no need to upgrade from that since this is indeed the exact same release"

why does everyone complain about official releases, sooner or later it gets official... What actually makes it official? Just because 1 or 2 or any carrier says so? Just run whatever you are willing to try, if it works great... if it doesn't try a different version... just my 2cents!

Hi Houstonn

Do you think that these Official OSs may be tweeked abit even though the have the same Platfom and version number... They may of kept the Application and Version number the same....

When i Installed the OS, it seems to be a tade bit larger the the lake one

 
 
Posted by DrewDT Thursday, Jan 07, 2010 765 days ago

The legitimate fear for many is that if they run into problems especially if they end up bricking their BB with a leaked OS; They may not get support from their carrier because they weren't using an officially approved OS.

The day after I buy a Nexus One

 
 
Posted by shabazosu Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

When I connected my AT&T 8900 to my computer, BB Desktop Manager told me there was an upgrade to my device to OS 5.0? So I'm assuming it's in the process of installing 5.0.0.411 on my phone?

 
 
Posted by Crown_royal_06 Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

mine did not say that. what am i doing wrong

 
 
Posted by bigmac05 Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

It's a bummer tmobile is not on the list.

 
 
Posted by Joe Tingey Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

how can i find a leaked version of the 5.0.411 software for the curve 8900 ? help please

 
 
Posted by Joe Tingey Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

also i am a mac user will that affect the download ?

 
 
Posted by tj_elward Thursday, Jan 07, 2010 765 days ago

yes it only works for pc's....unless you have one of the carriers listed above

 
 
Posted by FreydNot Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

I've been running this when it was a leaked build. I have a problem where the phone often sticks on a black screen when it is removed from the cradle charge (coming out of bedside mode). I'll install the official just in case...

 
 
Posted by Hey_Daniel Thursday, Jan 07, 2010 765 days ago

I had the exact same problem, I also get this when i disconnect from the computer...

I hope these carriers have tweeked the OSs abit

 
 
Posted by Joe Tingey Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

would you have a link to download the software for mac ?

 
 
Posted by Jakertons Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

I'm downloading the DE version, which I'm guessing is germany or denmark, but does that matter? I'm on that t-mobes. Get back to me before I load it up!

 
 
Posted by kokonas Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

What are the differences between the carrier versions? Are there different languages or something?

 
 
Posted by Jakertons Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

I'm downloading the multi lang version to be safe, lol

 
 
Posted by Fredstar Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

FINNNALLY , BUT WAIT, U MEAN TO TELL ME THAT THIS IS NOT GONA WORK FOR TMOBILE?????

 
 
Posted by yelowsnomann911 Thursday, Jan 07, 2010 765 days ago

You can use it for tmobile you just need to download one of the versions above and install it. Remember to delete the vendor.xml

 
 
Posted by wingnut91 Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

It says I can download any of those versions. As a T-Mobile customer, would it affect me or my phone if I did that?

 
 
Posted by Fredstar Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

Posted by wingnut91 Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

My desktop manager isn't finding the one for Vodafone DE. Has anyone else had this problem. It downloaded onto my computer no problem.

 
 
Posted by Crown_royal_06 Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

yes same problem with me. any fixes to this

 
 
Posted by wingnut91 Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

I'm trying to see if the one for Spain will work, it's multilanguage.

 
 
Posted by wingnut91 Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

Downloading right now, might be a little bit, though.

 
 
Posted by Crown_royal_06 Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

neither one worked for me

 
 
Posted by wingnut91 Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

We, we'll see, it might be different for me, but maybe that's just wishful thinking.

 
 
Posted by Crown_royal_06 Wednesday, Jan 06, 2010 765 days ago

Posted by wingnut91 Thursday, Jan 07, 2010 765 days ago
