Tired of Waiting for Verizon to Make 5.0 Official? We Got It. Leaked: OS 5.0.0.328 (and .327) for the BlackBerry Storm 9530!

OS 5.0.0.327 and OS 5.0.0.328 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530

* Update 3: LOL.. that was fun for 24 minutes. LOOKS LIKE THE OFFICIAL IS UP! Check your Desktop Manager Software! *

* Update 2: Looks like megaupload is letting the file download again... keep tabs on the comments in case the link doesn't work for you anymore *

* Update: wow... looks like megaupload has some sort of attack system in place.  The .238 file got 243 downloads in about 30 seconds, and I think we must have tripped some sort of hacker attack alert as they've temporarily suspended the file (it's still in the account). Watch the comments below for download mirrors. *

So it's Sunday night, October 25th, and we know BlackBerry Storm 9530 owners are sitting on CrackBerry by the thousands waiting for Verizon to officially release OS 5.0.0.32x for the BlackBerry Storm 9530. Leaked info leading up to the this official release has been kind of weird... sometimes stating the official version would be 5.0.0.323 (which we already leaked the other day) and other times stating .328. Some info put the push at 7pm EST tonight, which has passed, the change log puts it at 10pm EST (any minute now) so in true CrackBerry fashion we've dug up the goods for you so you can get a head start. At the link below we've actually got two newer 5.0 builds... 5.0.0.327 and 5.0.0.328. They're both running the same platform version (4.2.0.128) so are likely near identical, so it's probably best to go for .328 but you can try them both out if you like.

The official Verizon release should drop any minute or hour now, so even hardcore Stormies shouldn't feel bad if at this point they want to hold out for the update to come through BDM. But if you want it now, you can grab the latest and greatest below!

Will it work for the tour?

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

Storm 9530 ONLY.  firmware is device dependent. not a one OS fits all.

 
 
Posted by dreedy1 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

Kevin....any offical or projected word yet on the OS 5.0 update for the Tour on VZW?

To those downloading this, please be kind, and create a mirror of it for others :)

Thanks Crackberry! .328 link down... anyone have a mirror?

 
 
Posted by 77rramos Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

Says file not available...

 
 
Posted by mklear Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

Does anyone have a review of this update for the Storm and how it will make text input easier/better? I switched from the curve a month ago, and I hate typing on the storm. I am a business user and made the crucial mistake switching to the storm. Think I will be going to the tour soon if this update doesnt help. Or the DROID. Hopefully this makes typing easier.

 
 
Posted by dvlmn Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

i cant DL 328 it says unavailable i think we overloaded megaupload lol

 
 
Posted by Camel_Back Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

Says it's temporarily not available.

 
 
Posted by boman06210 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

sez its temporarily unavailable!? and whats the diff between the two?

 
 
Posted by 92slammer Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable.

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

still loading... just slow. think we overwhelmed it.

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

hmm.. never mind. we overwhelmed megaupload.  can access it when logged into the account but not when logged out.

 
 
Posted by rip14 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

I got it to work. Just had to refresh a few times

Just be patient, there's a lot of people trying to get this file. close the page and try the link again.. Worked for me.. im 15% through the download already.

 
 
Posted by Happy_Killmore Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

.328 says The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable.

Posted by Hybrid4830 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

downloading the 328 now. first half of the download it was steady at 1mb/sec but then slowed down to about 300 kb/sec

 
 
Posted by karlac Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

Keep getting an error message that "another installation is in progress" and then the install error message loops. Nothing else running ... hmmmm, corrupt download from Megauploaud??

Sure sounds like it ...

 
 
Posted by karlac Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

First download was obviously corrupted. Now loaded up and running on Storm. So far, so good.

 
 
Posted by Emtronics Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

Duped again. After 9pm CDT and no upgrade. I figured as much. Goodnight as I have a real job that starts at 4am and I am done waiting on Verizon to fart. Thanks CB for the leaked links.

I just downloaded .328 from the verizon site, and its much quicker than the mega upload links...

My DM isnt auto updating, finding nothing when I click check for updates. Thanks debben for posting the Verizon link to manually grab the update!

Downloading now - kudos!

 
 
Posted by boman06210 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

i'm doin the DM update, its taking forever

 
 
Posted by Nathan79 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

for those who aren't with verizon, you have to delete the vendor.xml file in the /commonfiles/researchinmotion/apploader directory. It also helps to disconnect your net before turing on Desktop Manager. Im on telus, and it recognized the update right away... But i uninstalled the previous 5.0.323 software first.

 
 
Posted by JazzL5 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

Cool!! A default Today theme, Visual Voice Mail icon, flick scrolling, nice.

Had to dl App World and BBM 5.0 again though.

I downloading/updating the OS 5.0 for my Blackberry Storm 9530 using BBDM and it's just hanging. It says it's downloaded 47 modules of 354 and it's been stuck there for 20 minutes. Is this anything I need to be worried about or does it just take a while to update/install? Should I stop the current download/update and try running it again? Any help would be awesome guys. Thanks!

Any news on 5.0 OS for 9500 or a better leak than .216?

Vodafone testing 5.0 for 9500 or are they busy strategizing for 9520?

Posted by JGLADIATORS Tuesday, Oct 27, 2009 941 days ago

I upgraded my storm to the new os and for some reason it deleted some of my apps and some dont work as well as before so iam downgrading back to the one i had before.And I am going to try to upgrade again and see if this time works better.But i do like the new changes of the new os... wish me luck

 
 
Posted by Mark A. Thursday, Oct 29, 2009 939 days ago

I've been running this OS now for a few days, and these are my preliminary findings:

* Major speed improvement over the previous official VZW OS
* The fade in/fade out windows are very cool
* threaded SMS is nice
* upgrading the OS luckily didn't break a lot of things. Yeah, Facebook and a bunch of other apps needed to be re-installed, but none of my paid-for apps took a hit. BBM apparently is installed, but I can't find the icon anywhere.
* My 3GStormV1 theme doesn't display correctly in landscape mode (big white bars on both edges), but ...

overall, I'm quite happy with this OS upgrade. Now I feel I can wait a little longer before I upgrade to the Storm2.
