Official OS 5.0.0.509 For The BlackBerry Curve 8520, 8900 And Bold 9000 From WIND Hellas
Hi
I did a wipe with BBSAK while i was being distracted and did not back up / save or load an OS for my curve 8520. Now it sits there wanting an OS. I downloaded the new version mentioned here and I'm now sitting here like an idiot wondering what to do next.
Can anyone help? BBSAK just says no operating system found and it will not connect to the BB.
thanks
Dennis
I have a curve 8520 running on prepaid. Is it ok to upgrade it using any upgrades released by any carrier?
i'm trying to upgrade to software v5.0 for my 8520 from india. i just cant do it. my version is 4.6.1.314.
please help!!!!!
its amazing guys.. i tried to upgrade it and it worked like magic..easy to upgrade and easy to use.. gr8 new features.. just loveee it..
On the Beta of .509, there is a bluetooth problem for the BB Bold 9000, and for the media player. You can't fast forward songs, without skipping one. Is this still TRUE on the official version? Please advise.
i can not get this to load onto by tmobile 8900, any ideas..
i used crackmem, but the desktop manager states that there is no software to load after selecting 5.0
thanks for the help..

simply amazing
please heeeelp i download the link on my computer but i dont know how to installed on my blackberry curve 8520
Is anyone else having a problem with this build where your phone restarts for no reason? when I run slacker radio about 75% of the time it resets my bb? I never had this problem with the bell build!
Anyone have tips for Mac users? The software won't install when I'm running windows, not sure why.
i download the link but i dont know how to install it on my device
Is this is the OS for the device? or is the desktop manager version? cause im looking for the OS of the device and i download the thing but i can installed in my BlackBerry
Very cool I like it alot but I can't get autostandby and Keyboard Locker to work and with BB app world there is a couple bugs. Any ideas?
just installed last night on my 8520 and im testing it and its G-R-E-A-T! :) thumbs up guys!
and now im installing it on my mothers phone 8900.
the only thing its that the app world when i go to the top free categorie, it wont open. i already tried upgrading it, and downloading it again. but just can get it work :( but overall itss F-ing great!

mine is updated, and works perfect!
after upgrading my 8900 to this my battery only lasts a few hours.....downgrading!
can i upgrade my curve 8520 os to v5 with thus download ?
what the... my 8520 can't browse the internet this time, others just fine, am i missing something here or just RIM forgetting something?! downgrading with the leaked version!!
...I'm using Indonesian XL carrier...
Done, Works Perfectly on my 8520. just reinstall the OS with no restore my previous apps. My mistake, sorry RIM, Now run so smoothly n betterer. ;) Thanks!
Finally after such a long time... An official release for 8520
There is no option for keyboard lock on this version! Downgrading!
I saw a post saying there is no lock keypad function in this build. If you are on your main screen hold down A then your screen will go off. Upon pressing a button it will say keypad locked press mute button to unlock.
I agree, when WILL Orange UK catch up... grrrr!!!
can anyone tell me if this fixes the lock/standby merged ? and if the lock button works ..
The mute key doesn't work and the lock key is working like the mute key.
Bricked my phone. This OS sucks
Why wont Verizon release and official OS update for the storm2 9550 they still using 328 and I know there some really good fixes since that version I am really beginning to hate verizon
Couldn't get the Desktop Manager to find the os. I think there was a problem with the installer although it did not error out. Looks like update files never were installed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Disconnect your internet connection, then try again. Also, you can load it using the app loader method. Look under the 101 tutorials.
For the 8520. It's about damn time. Thanks RIM
So I downloaded the file yet DM doesn't recognize the file.
How does one upgrade for a t-mobile USA 8900?
Thanks
Hi

hi, can anyone tell me please how can i install this new OS 5.0?
thanks,
florin
Why are there always so many people that ask how to install an OS everytime there is a new official or leaked version that is released???? There is a seach button on the top right of this website and if you type "install OS" it will give you a step by step guide on how to. I don't mean to be rude but it's my pet peeve when people won't do things for themselves and expecet someone else to do so.
That is my rant for the day.
I second that!!
I have the leaked .509 on my 9000 and 8900 but now want the official release. Sorry if this is going to sound stupid (!)..Will I need to downgrade and remove the leaked version before loading the official?? Or can I simply just install the official release on my pc and upgrade my device as usual (and obviously removing the vendor file). PLEAAASE ADVISE!! Thanks
i'm trying to install but i get a note under the update stating only valid blackberry subscribers are entitled to install this update.
then when i continue, it says there is no valid update. i've deleted the vendor.xml file...
help, how do i install?
looks like if i backup my data in DM, then just run loader.exe it works fine

So Far so good on the Bold

Finally!!
OS 8520. I thought I kept buying berrys that nobody cared about.
Bwahahahaha !!! Finaly!!! Official OS 5.0 for my 8520 !!!, Thx RIM !!!

8520 version
Insman1, I had the same question, never heard of the company. You can definitely download it for ATT. I did about an hour ago. Everything's smooth. Works great :)
I downloaded this file, and it installs the: "Blackberry Device Software v.5.0.0 for the Blackberry 8520 smartphone" per the .msi file as well as per CCleaner.
But the $25,000 dollar question is - where does it install it to?
I don't know what to do next? In the Desktop Manager it still says 4.6.1 is the latest/greatest OS and that the install of the .msi did nothing to show that 5.0 was now available to put on the phone. How do I get this on the actual phone?
Your help in this matter is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
So close! Arggggggggh!
After you run the set up wizard. Open BB Desktop Manager and plug in the BB. Then go to your C-drive > Program Files > Common Files > Research In Motion > App Loader and delete the xml.vendor file. After that at the top of the list there should a app loader file. Double click that and it should load up. Select the features/applications you want to load on it and go. Hope this helps.
Thank you soo much i just menaged to update me curve 8520 and im really pleased whit it because i was running 4.6 but now its very very nice big thanks for the commenr that you post really helps alot :)
I need some East Asian lovin' from RIM.
This would be good news if I new what
WIND Hellas was? A cell phone provider. Will it work with my AT&T Curve 8900?
Can somebody please confirm this version for the Bold 9000 has Arabic typing support?
Thanks in advance
P.S.: it should be in the language selection before installation.
Updates on Rogers take forever. I agree that (looking back) I would chose another carrier besides Rogers. Bell is looking good now, but I wish we had more choice.
I too have been waiting to see if rogers would release an official OS 5.0... hopefully it would come soon! but then again.. who knows...
is rogers ever going to get an offical 5.0 os for the bold 9000?
Rogers sucks for all cell phone software upgrades.
has anyone got a link to information about this? im on o2 will this software make any diff?
Just updated my 8900 and everything went smoothly! Gonna give the OS an whirl and see how she runs!
is the bluetooth issue happening on the curve 8520 as well?
Any Links for the 8520 version?
Here you go for the 8520 ->

what about 9700, it's been long time since its last update...
I second that.....
No download possible at the moment...
Could anybody please provide Rapidshare links?
http://www.mediafire.com/?wd0mi1w0iyg
is this for hte 8900, or the 9000?
Thank you very much works fine
The reason it may have been pulled is that Bluetooth is not working properly with the media player on .509. They need to correct this. I put it on my 9000 and not just me, but several others who play music with media player and bluetooth were having a problem. So sit tight. They are the closest to putting out a 5.0 for the Bold 9000 with this version than ever. :)
Still waiting for the 8350i 5.0 OS to drop ... where is it ??? come out, come out from where ever you are !!!
why isnt this available for a mac. anyone wanna help me out

Woooo ! the 8520 hasn't been forgotten after all :)
Now all I need is Orange Uk to release it ...
I'm not familiar with Wind Hellas. Is it a network? Can I download this on an ATT 8900?
awww is not working
THERES NOT EVEN OFFICIAL 5.0 FOR 9000 BOLD FROM ROGERS. RIDICULOUS

We're Sorry...

Congrats guys. I won't whine, 'nuff said.
i downloaded the official v 5.0.0.484 that Sprint released...working like a charm. RIM's releases arent carrier specific...just make sure the release is for the Blackberry you have and voila!
Bout ************* time!
so I did upgrade when the leaked version came out....Has then been any changes since?
I'm gonna enjoy upgrading my friend's phone.
Some 8520 love :D
Yahooooo! Thank you, that's a great news! :)
