Official OS Releases For Bold And Storm (9500)! Posted in News & Rumors on 11 Mar 2009 20:14 by Bla1ze | 
87 comments
Well, what do we have here now? Official releases of some recent OS' for the 9500 series Storm and the Bold... sure is! Seems SiMobile has gone live with the official versions of the 4.6.0.247 for the BlackBerry Bold and following up last night's leak of 4.7.0.114 for the Storm, have also released 4.7.0.113 (9500 Storms only). You can grab both downloads at the links below and be sure to leave some comments. I'm rather interested to see if an official release of 4.7.0.113 will show up for the 9530 Storm. Thanks to all who emailed this one in!!

Hope they fix 114 issues
Do you have issue with the numeric KB during phone call...the Numeric KB seem not to come up or dead?
do you mean 4.7.0.113 for the storm?
If this is the same as the beta OS, why bother? There were dozens of problems with it. What company would be dumb enough to release this?
I have this OS for a week now without any problems, this has been the best OS for me so far!! Dont know what problems you talking about....
I'm a fairly new Bold user. So with that being said I have already loaded the Beta release of 247. So would there be a difference between this official release and the one I already have on my bold? I only ask because I've had 247 on my Bold for the past couple days and I am starting to hate it considering I get lots of errors and can't load themes and even vlingo and Slacker won't open correctly. This may be a dumb question like everyone else says when they don't wanna get attacked by experienced users that don't have time for questions we should already have the answers to. My personal thought would be that they may have made tweaks to an official release but why not change the os from 247 to 248? Or even 247.1? Any help with this is appreciated.
P.S. Thanks Cellunlock! Just got my Bold unlocked but I don't really know why cause I just stare at it now thinking it will be different. Now I'm trying to find someone with T-Mobile so I can test it and see if it worked. :-)
Thanks!

Its for the Storm 9500..that European version
It's always funny when someone correcting people doesn't know what they're talking about. :)
The 9500 came out with 4.7.0.XX. 4.6 doesn't support touch, so yeah, that's the European version. And if you'd READ, you'd notice that he said 4.6.0.114 leaked for the 9530 also, which wasn't the European version or the right OS #.
And he fixed it now too.
boo-hoo
Guarantee the Verizon update comes right after the buy one get one promotion! Count it!
don't you mean 4.7.XXXX OS' for the 95XX phones and 4.6.XXX for the bold?
Where is the beta love for the 8900, as 4.6.1.174 is the latest beta released for it
Hehe! Ya, forgive me got all flustered with my typing, my bad!
Corrected, again..Sorry! :)
I just downloaded the leaked .114 beta, but I'm hoping that with the official Euro one, the US shouldn't be far behind? Maybe?!? :(
i got so excited then so dissapointed i cant wait for a 9350 release
bmw: You are right. This would be the same as the beta OS, as I'm sure Simobile added nothing. Also Simobile isn't one of the official carriers listed on RIM'S country website, so they just took a bad beta OS and called it "official." I wouldn't doubt that it didn't have RIM'S permission either.
So Vodafone is NOT part of RIMS official carriers?

From what I gather from AT&T Reps, AT&T will be releasing an "official" Bold release this May. :)
I got the OS update...
but I still don't have the bold nor the storm
:)
Keeping the FAITH!!!
Garz: I always trust your reviews. I felt from you that 4.6.0.247 had quite a few "bugs" to put it mildly. Others reported that also. Why would an unknown company use a bug ridden OS for such an expensive phone like the Bold?
for a real provider to release the os
for a real provider to release the os
Dude i agree they should fix some of the bugs in .114 but verizon better speed things up..
RIM Rogers update is showing a version number of: v4.6.0.292
You're looking at the wrong section...
File name: 9000M_PBr4.6.0_rel292_PL4.0.0.155_A4.6.0.162_Rogers.exe
A4.6.0.162 <---Application version, .162 is all that matters in those numbers.
so is that the latest offical release?
Whatever you do, do not download the update for the storm. I had to call verizon and we took everything off the device and reloaded it back to default. It screwed up my device and everything went blurry like a fuzzy tv. it wouldn't go away and every time i'd get a call it wouldn't ring and wouldn't show i had a miss call or voice mail. DON"T INSTALL!!!!!!
The reason you had issues is because this update isn't for Storms on Verizon's network...
Really, which part of 9500 ONLY did you not understand???
Bl1aze: SiMobile may be legit, but then again WHY are they releasing such a bug ridden update to OS?
I hope this mean that the 9530 offical os is on the way.
I have a strong impression that the new 9530 OS is indeed on its way. We shall see.
ok well it work with storm 9530.
How come official released has lower version number (.113) than beta (.114) released? Any reason ?
i have a feeling the beta test is for the next (version .120something)and they started testing it right away after finishing the newest official release
i currently have an unlocked att bold that with my t-mobile sim card, so i want to know if i update my phone, if it will take away the unlocked feature and lock it again. This would be very helpful.
I'm in the exact same boat and have wondered this myself with all of these new OS releases. I think I'm going to back up my BB Bold first then try the new update. That way I have a fallback if necessary.
can you please tell me what happens so i know whether or not i should do it. Thanks.
Why is it that they can't get on the ball and follow suit with releasing official os updates?
looks like the official release will be here soon for verizon!!! i can't wait!!!
The 9500 has gotten 2 if not 3 official updates. The 9530 (Verizon) has only released 1 update , that was back at the end of December. I love Verizon coverage, but their phone support isn't the greatest. Wished Verizon would relase more official updates for the phone.
amen brother.
That is not exactly true:
The Storm 9500 in greece is the only one who got two official updates.
In germany there is just one official update back in dec 2008. So we are also waiting to get some official stuff to get rid of those bugs. :-(
I am living in Australia now orginally from New York and i am jealous you guys have 4.7.0.83 as a official release. we are stuck on 4.7.0.78 here in Australia. That is cool i will just get an American Storm and use that instead lol. I will wait for them to put out an official version but doubt they will until the apps world is complete. RIM Probably wants to do it all in one shot and i prefer they did. After all these beta "leaks" i am sure they(if they are smart) have collected alot of data to make there forrays into the the consumer market better handled. They can also have the storm working at it's full potential. Getting tired of the Apple-Zombies flashing there Iphones like it is "ish" when it is more disabled than a beat up holden Barina on the side of the road on the Pacific Highway!!!!
WHY COULDN'T THERE BE AN UPDATE FOR THE 9530??? WE'VE WAITED WHAT? 3 MONTHS NOW...... ALL THESE LEAKED UPDATES BUT NO OFFICIAL THIS IS CRAP!!!! I'M GONNA FIGHT VERIZON!!!
im guessing this is the same beta they just rename the file since they are both the same size, it should be either smaller or larger not the same size. this is a sham no need to update anything if anyone did update please do let us know whats the difference. thanks.
I'm sure that the man in charge of releasing official OS of verizon got fired in january. that's why 9530 users can't get any update...
just joke. sorry.
Verizon needs to work diligently with RIM and get us an official release! We've waited patiently and we're continuing to do so until there is one...
thanks Bla1ze, just upgraded to .113 from .78.
worth upgrading guyz.
This is the exact same as the beta released last week. It is full of bugs and I wish I hadnt upgraded, my today theme among other things is completely broken.
no problems at all, running smoothly
numeric kb also works at calls
