time for update!!!

Before everyone asks, no this OS will not work on the 9860 or 9900.

Where's a leak for the 9810 and other GSM OS7 phones? And how does a small time wireless provider in the Oklahoma panhandle, uh, well, never mind.

I'll give a $500 million in fake CB money to ANYBODY who can identify an objective change in this .009 upgrade over .353.

Is it restricted to a particular carrier? I don't know what ptci means.

Does this include auto focus for the camera?

does this work for my playbook? (TROLLIN)

Installing it now.

The download for 9850 is going SUPER DUPER slow. I'm at 81% downloaded and it's been nearly 2 hours. zzzzzzzzzzzz

Anybody tried this on sprint? If so, what's new in this version? Visual voicemail?? =D

Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

I have it loaded now for 2 minutes and I have to say its the best build ever! Rock solid. The radio is a huge improvement, all the apps are so fast I hardly know what they are!. Haha!
Baby steps my friends, one step at a time. Theres a secure and stable device.

I have .353 on my 9850 right now. Is this a noticeable upgrade from that?

My initial download failed, as well as subsequent downloads. *sad face*

I'm curious about what if any improvements there are over .353 too. That one's working just fine for me.

Ok, So I downloaded the OS onto my comp. everything went smooth, but when I fired up my Desktop Manager there were no updates to be found? WTF? tried Apploader and again NO UPDATES? When I loaded .353 as soon as I fired up DM it recognized the update right away! any suggestions, this happened before and I'm gettin pissed!

It let's you get rid of that awful little arrow on the keyboard that closes it randomly in the middle of emails!!!!!!

Can anyone please post a mirror?!?!? I want to download this ASAP.

Thanks!

Anyone know when any of the OS build will include flash? That would put BB web tops. Keep the knowledge coming guys! many Thanks -Gr8trgood

I just tried the download again and it downloaded pretty fast this time. And I'm not getting an error when trying to install.

For those of you having issues - give it another try. Maybe they fixed whatever was causing it to crash.

can I upgrade my 9850 from a MAC?

If you use Desktop Manager for MAC, yes.

Dude ! My version is 7.0.0.254 ! On VZW ! I tried the Wireless Update , and it said I have the latest version . WTF ! ? !

i just checked for a update on my torch 9850 n it says its up to date .. i have it thru verizon .. wsup wit that

Went into Verizon and tried the Torch. All I can say is LMAO. Great phone. Fast thru the apps, BUT The Torch I will PASS on.

As I expected, this POS OS 7 came loaded with 8 apps. Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo Mess. BBM, Windows Mess., Maps, and some other app. Once I updated all the apps at the store, it was time to reboot....3 minutes 13 seconds. Give me a break! That's 8 apps. Imagine if you try to fit 25 apps on that thing? The reboot time would be 8 minutes long..at least!

I didn't stick around to download 20 apps and reboot. I left that store after a few minutes of playing with the phone. If my Storm 2 didn't have 66% of the apps it currently has on it, the thing wouldn't hourglass either. I would wager my left foot that the Torch would seize up with that many apps running. It's the same POS OS like the 6. The processor is better, but the thing isn't what it's made out to be.

Why would I choose that over an iPhone? Unless you're typing a million emails a day where you're sending proposals etc, I don't get what this new BB do that's so fantastic? NOTHING from where I stand. Great! They finally got into the ballpark with Droid and iPhone. Now I have to marry this for 2 years? Uh, NO! And I'm not paying an extra couple hundred bucks to get a lousy 1 year contract for a phone that's already outdated OS which will be replaced by QNX in 2012 and STOMPED by iPhone 5 next month.

Can anyone tell me what this update actually updates??

I'm going to be downloading the upgrade to my pc. I have a Verizon 9930 and I know I'm supposed to remove the vendor.xml file in common files after the download but prior to exeution. Before I download the file, should I have DM closed and my phone disconnected? Then, after downloading the file, I'm to find the vendor.xml under program files and the one under users//appdata and remove from there as well. Once I complete the removal of the vendor files, should I then start DM and connect my phone? Will it then walk me through the upgrade? Sorry for so many questions, just never downloaded an upgrade from any vendor except VZW and I want to get it right. I really want this upgrade because I do have some issues with .254. if its too much to do, let me know. It wont hurt my feelings....TY

I wasn't able to get the update to take even after deleting the two vendor files, but tried it on another computer and it worked fine... no idea why.

I couldn't get it to work on my PC even though I got rid of the vendor files. It downloaded and took quite some time and it ended up still being the .254 software. I also downloaded the upgrade to a MAC. Does anyone know how to get rid of the vendor files on a MAC? I can't find it (them) anywhere and my DM doesn't show an upgrade available even though it downloaded from the site. PLEASE HELP if you know the steps for the MAC...

Doesn't anyone out there have a clue on how to help me get this download to a Verizon phone??

I got it to work with a Verizon 9850. I've been a BB guy for awhile but I am new to tweaking them. With that said, I tried it on my wife's MacBook and couldn't get it to work so I did it on my Dell. Downloaded the file to the desktop, took about 1 hour, and then double clicked on it to install. After the install, I followed the directions from the top of this post and could not get it to install on the phone. So I tried something I saw in another post.

forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-torch-9860-9850-f238/9850-browser-fix-649991/

When the "view other versions" window popped up, 362 was there, but it was not the recommended OS. Checked the box next to 362 and went from there. This way worked for me and I haven't had any issues since the install. Hope this helps.

"Another copy of vendor.xml exists in your users//appdata/roaming/research in motion/blackberry/loader xml folder. Delete it in addition to the vendor.xml in C:programfiles/common files/research in motion/apploader"

I got rid of the first vendor.xml file with no problem (C:programfiles/common files/research in motion/apploader).

I then looked for the 2nd vendor.xml file as directed above and I was only able to find "users/administrator/appdata/roaming/book place". I CANNOT find the 2nd vendor.xml on my PC. If someone could direct me I'd appreciate the help. I've looked everywhere and can't find the 2nd file to delete. I've downloaded the upgrade, its there waiting to be used but until I find that 2nd file, it won't recognize this upgrade. Thanks...

I FOUND THE 2nd FILE! It was a hidden file. You must go into tools on the toolbar and check the box to "show all/hidden files". Once I checked that box, I was able to go through the User side and found the 2nd vendor.xml. I then plugged in my 9930 and started DM and it immediately recognized the update. Installing now... finally.

can anyone share this download. My BB Bold 9930 will not power on. I only get a red light for 3-4 seconds then nothing. I've pulled the battery multiple times and removed the SD card. I have no SIM card inserted.

I've tried to download this the OS on RIM's site but it never finishes.

so I have a 9850 with US cellular and I am using a mac. how do i get this on my phone??
