Verizon Officially Releases OS 5.0.0.328 For The BlackBerry Storm 9530!

Verizon OS Release

Finally, the waiting and anticipation is over. Verizon has started pushing OS 5.0.0.328 to BlackBerry Desktop Manager for all Storm owners to install 24 minutes after we leaked it. If you haven't gotten the alert already it's time to fire up BlackBerry Desktop Manager Software (you too Mac users!) and see if it's there waiting for you. It's now up at http://vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry/ as well.

OS 5.0 brings with it some significant changes to the OS and should correct a lot of issues some of you were having with your BlackBerry Storm 9530's and being an official OS you can load it without any worries of running beta software. Already got it loaded up? What do you think of it? How is it working for you? Let us know in the forums or in the comments. Now the question remains. How long will it be before we see other carriers hop on board and start releasing 5.0 for other devices?

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

Downloading the leaked .328 you leaked 30 mins ago. No difference in this and what they have on DM, correct?

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

its not leaked

 
 
Posted by xantius Monday, Oct 26, 2009 942 days ago

i wanted to post it where most people can see it:

http://appstore.vzw.com.edgesuite.net/download/firmware/BB9530MR3/9530AM...

i don't know if it's displaying properly, and i don't know how to post it as a link, so i'll paste it in sections:

http://appstore.vzw.com.edgesuite.net/
download/firmware/BB9530MR3/
9530AMEA_PBr5_1_.0.0_rel508_PL4.2.0.128_A5.0.0.328.exe

i hope you can figure out what goes where...

- installed it in 15 mins (includes the reboots, backup & restore)

- voice dialing still doesn't seem to work tho

Posted by borderpatrol1987 Monday, Oct 26, 2009 942 days ago

Everytime there was a leak for the 8900,9000, or hell, anything. Storm whiners were there complaining about how it was not for them.

What about mac? It's not showing up in Mac Desktop?!?!?!

 
 
Posted by bakerskater010 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

shows up in mine....force quit and reopen

 
 
Posted by Neotide87 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

It showed up instantly for me. Close Desktop manager and plug in BB and it should load DM up and that is when it prompted me for new updates available

 
 
Posted by LadyBug1383 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

Shut down DM for Mac and restart it, and it should pop up.

 
 
Posted by hairy blackberry Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

My download started off fast and is crawling along now - I'm sure BB's servers are getting slammed with people that want a storm that works.

I wish AT&T was this quick to push out OS5.0 for the Bold. Have fun Storm owners :(

 
 
Posted by dsvc1989 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I wish AT&T had 5.0 out already for the Bold too. I haven't even been able to test out a beta bc i use a Mac.

Othersfirst, I had an issue where my DM wasnt showing the update after it was supposedly released. Tryed restarting the DM and still no luck. Rebooted the whole system and then it came right up, worth a try. Hope you get it!

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

Hey, maybe Verizon will treat us for Halloween and give us the 5.0 upgrade officially. We will see this week.

I'm still running desktop software 4.7 so that Tetherberry works. 5.0 Desktop software is the only update showing in my update window. Do I need to have this to see the 5.0 device software?

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

I hope Sprint will be so gracious and give us the 5.0 for the Tour just as quick.

I hope they update QuickPull to work with 5.0 now that it is official.

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

I'm hoping with 5.0 I don't NEED QuickPull! Had to reboot sometimes twice a day with 4.7! Here's to hoping they got it right this time!

anyone get this via the OTA? I've been checking periodically and I've seen nothing. I'm running 5.0.0.230 would that have anything to do with it not showing up? It shouldn't make a difference, should it? Do I need to Downgrade to .148? ><

 
 
Posted by jdisme1 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

Just read some of the other articles please.
There is no OTA update for this. Actually try and find an answer before posting useless questions.

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

Do you get off on saying things like this? All that needed to be said is that "there is no OTA update" and it would have been good. Also, if you would have read the other comments here, you would have seen that I am not the first to ask this.

Dude, you asked a retarded question that was answered in the original post had you taken the time to read it. It's not like it's some obscure question that hasn't been answered yet, it's been said on Page 1 of comments and in the blogpost, open you damn eyes and read. I honestly hate people who don't bother to read shit and just ask their dumb ass questions anyways due to lazyness.

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

But there is no need to be a whiney little fucking bitch about it now is there ignore my comment and move on gtfo and go back to your homework. Ever heard the phrase "there is no such thing as a retarded question other than the one never asked?" and I did skim threw it and found nothing or I wouldn't have asked so do us all a favour and stop being a pissy bitch.

 
 
Posted by SpaceMonster Monday, Oct 26, 2009 942 days ago

Sometimes it's not easy to read through twenty minutes of a particular thread to find an ansewr to a question you stupid retards. I agree with theapple you're just a bunch of whiney little bitches.

 
 
Posted by grundyman Monday, Oct 26, 2009 942 days ago

dont worry about that apple, some of these people dont have anything better to do with their time. most likley they were called retards all their lives , so they look for others mistakes to make them selves look good

Really hoping an official Tour release comes soon.

This may sound stupid, but will Verizon only release it for PC users, or will it be available for Mac too? I would think that logically, there would be releases for both platforms now.

Posted by strmusr Monday, Oct 26, 2009 942 days ago

Posted by tkfox007 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

It was a freaking pain in the butt to install. Kept getting error messages and what not, saying there wasn't enough disk space and connection issues. Quit DM and did a battery pull, deleted all the text, pic, email and whatnot messages and it started to load the new OS, now it's restarting been at the 2/3 mark though

I just upgraded to the 5.0 OS for the Storm 9530 and my BBM 5.0 got deleted?

Anyone else have this issue?

Anything I can do to get it back?

 
 
Posted by cpuking2009 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

go to www.blackberry.com/messenger from ur storms browser and re-download it!

 
 
Posted by geo211 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

thank you! it took a while to work but it restore it

thankfully i had backed up my contacts using the new feature of bbm 5.0 and was able to restore all of them no problem

 
 
Posted by gmo4x4 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

Whats the fix to getting all the contacts back to BBM since it was backed up

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

If you go into BBM, and hit the BB button, find restore contacts, and there you go.

 
 
Posted by deke09 Monday, Oct 26, 2009 942 days ago

My BBM disappeared, too. I don't believe I backed-up contacts, but I'm going through the process now...we'll see...

Cancel the upgrade...

Cancel is greyed out. Not an option. No modules downloaded yet. Device screen shows connection logos. Hummm....

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

See if you can force Desktop Manager to quit. That's odd, I've been reading other people are having the same problem. Mine just got finished. It might be because so many people are downloading right now, maybe you got snagged.

 
 
Posted by cpuking2009 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

Anyone getting an error while downloading OS 5.0 on Desktop Manager for Mac. Starts to download smoothly but then comes up with an error. Happened twice, dont know what is wrong. Maybe the server is overloaded? Anyone else get this error, need help!!

 
 
Posted by Neotide87 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

Force Quit DM and unplug BB and then plug in BB and it should autostart for you. That is what I did but I also didnt get an error, make sure you got latest version of DM for mac as well. Hope this helps

This update is infuriating, it's like it reset the phone back to it's factory defaults and I have to reinstall everything and it keeps giving me some sort of java error and I gotta reset everything back to the way I liked it.

I keep getting those too. In addition to a "missing resource" warning. Not sure what to do about that.

About the only notice I see besides the ring and vibrate option in the profiles, is the screen slides up or down much smoother... at least I convinced myself it does... lol.
Is there a place that lists the upgrades changes/fixes?
Using the DM and Verizon upgrade went with out a hitch.

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

It does seem to be more responsive overall. It did move a couple apps from one folder to another, and I had to reset all my setting for 3rd party apps. And is it my imagination, or does the camera function itself also seem much faster. So far, so good!

Went from 323 to 328. No problems with installation. So far not seeing anything significantly different.....
