Latest OS: 9530 5.0.0.808/5.0.0.419 (Multilanguage)
 

BlackBerry Handheld Software v5.0.0.808 (Multilanguage)

Package Version: 5.0.0.808
Consisting of:

* Applications: 5.0.0.419
* Software Platform: 4.2.0.179
* File name: 9530AMEA_PBr5.0.0_rel808_PL4.2.0.179_A5.0.0.419_Be ll_Mobility_Inc.exe
* File size: 111.61MB

Note: The Software Platform and Applications version numbers can be found under Options-About screen on the handheld.

* Download Software: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...646D38BC2145CA

Instructions for installing either version on ANY carrier's 9530:

1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Vista/Win7 users: In the apploader folder, simply click on "Compatibility files" to see the actual Vendor.xml file. Once you've got that - simply delete the vendor.xml file there (even if you've deleted or think you've deleted it in the folder previously) and voila, it will allow you to update to the newly installed OS!
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.

Previous OS release: http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...ilanguage.html

Strange that this is almost identical to the previous version (5.0.0.674/5.0.0.419) except that the package version has increased to 5.0.0.808. Also this was released on February 12th, 2010 and the radio file was created on February 8th, 2010. There could be some minor bug fixes in this release...

Maybe mobile banking will work on this release. Anybody find a work around for the permissions issue?

Update
 

What is latest OS update available directly from Verizon?

I think Verizon last pushed .323, which had some issues.

I ran .328 beta and recently just upgraded to .419.

didn't fix the permissions on mobile banking. not seeing any difference from .674.

Looks like this release will also be showing up for:

MTS Mobility
MTS-BWA

So is this the same OS as .674/.419 ?

after wiping the os how do i reload the os??

is there any other way of installing this OS? Because i've tried and it still doesnt install even after i delete the vender.xml file

I have BB 9500 then can i use 9550 or 9530 firmware?
i see they specification is not more different....

Bro, you should have definitely read up on this process before wiping your phone.

It's rather easy. There is a complete set of instructions for wiping and reinstalling the OS using BBSAK on Crackberry.

I'm sure someone has asked this and or answered this question. But is there a difference from this version and .647

Missing File
 

I downloaded the OS 5.0.0.808/5.0.0.419 as per your instructions but I didnot see the "vendor.xml" file. Any suggestions also I currently have .328 on my storm on the verizon network

Facebook App
 

I upgraded to this version just yesterday from the slightly older official release from Bell. Everything seems to be working well but I am having a slight issue with the BB Facebook application. In particular, the alerts I receive and try to access withing the app are like the ones from older versions of the app (ie I get a link that would take me to the website in order to respond instead of allowing me to do so within the app). Is anyone else having this issue?

same here

How were you able to download the OS? I've been trying since last night but BB.com just keeps saying "we're sorry, the file is temporary unavailable". Something like that.

Nevermind, its working now, downloading.

Going by the many posts in the BB page in the Facebook app website, this issue appears to be related more to that app or service and not this upgrade.

However, something very weird happened just a few minutes ago. Despite me having no issues with my phone since upgrading a couple of days ago, it went a little bonkers on me. To be more precise, certain buttons would not work properly. One of convenience buttons is set to open the Media folder but all it does is open it briefly before going back to the main screen. Holding down the BB button shows the Switch Application but only briefly as well. After three battery pulls, now it seems some buttons are switched. Now the left convenience button acts like the Off button and nothing happens when I press the BB button.

It also lags at times and becomes unresponsive at others. Furthermore the phone resets every few minutes if I don't use it.

I am not sure if this is related to the upgrade but just to be safe I am going back to the previous official release in hopes this solves the issue. Anyone else suffer similar issues or even heard of something like this before?

Device Memory
 

Thanx for latest OS for 9530, I have wiped my phone with this version, I question I have:-

Memory Device is showing
Total Space - 879.2 MB
Free Space - 878.6 MB

Phone promts me to removed unwanted/unused applications-data in order to free space.

Any Idea as whats the resolution to this?

Latest OS: 9530 5.0.0.808/5.0.0.419 (Multilanguage)
 

Just came across this thread. I have v5.0.0.328 (Platform 4.2.0.128),
which seems to be the latest available from Verizon.
I notice the newest version listed here is from Bell Mobility, any gotchas
installing a newer version that didn't come from your own carrier?

Thanks,
Dick Lewis

No, if you follow the instructions there should be no issues in installing this.

Thanks primcharly, haven't a chance to really check out the differences, but
everything seems to be fine.

install using mac?
 

Has anyone been able to install this using the desktop manager on a mac? I've been using DM on my mac for a while, no major issues. I need to reinstall the OS to fix a facebook issue (which everyone i've talked to has had since upgrading to v.5) and haven't found a way to do that either, figure i might as well get the latest while i'm at it.

I currently have v.5.0.0.328 platform 4.2.0.128

thanks for any help

Doesn't work here either. Certificate errors, so I uninstalled, but now
Mobile Banking doesn't show up anywhere, so that I can reinstall.(n)

Reverted to Verizon's newest: 5.0.0.328/Platform 4.2.0.128, Mobile Banking
is working fine again. I like the newer version discussed here, but will
wait until someone figures out the permission issues. Newer version
definately showed more Application memory available.

i just downloaded the banking app from app world and it works again(y):smile:!.

It's prompting you to clean RAM space, that's your storage space.

Look at App memory, and you'll be under 5-10mb of space, I assume you've figured this out by now.

Remove unused/unwanted/infrequently used apps and games, and away you go. #1 downfall of the storm is 128mb RAM, and an OS that takes up 90mb of it :cry:

One functionality I seem to have lost after upgrading to .419 (package .808) is that I can no longer right-click on my music folders and create a playlist straight from Windows 7 window. I could do that easily via the drop-down menu on .328. Now the option just isn't there. Is there a way to reactivate that, or a secondary way w/out having to manually create playlists on the Storm itself?

Hello. I moved from .328 to .419 due to the EDGE to edge issue. Now the issue is solved, when I open Opera mini goes edge but keeps the connection, after closing it EDGE is back inmediately (not happening that way in .328, I used to wait about 15 minutes for EDGE).

Now there's two issues.
1.Need to add the country code to all my contacts (+507 in my case) to the phone for recognize them otherwise it will not.
2.All the SMS appears from one person. For ie.: if A sent me an SMS all the messages from B, C, D and E will appear as messages from A.

Hope I explain myself good enough.

For anything else this OS. is OK.

Regards,

hello ,

why the platform version still 4.2.xxx , because I upgraded BOLD (old one) platform version upgraded to v 5.0.xxx.. storm is newer than the BOLD .. so why use old platform version

Everybody who doesn't get the update to work!

http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...data-plan.html

use this to update, this works a lot better! (and you can shrink your OS)
good luck!

The issue that I am having since yesterday's upgrade is that the Facebook app will not stop sending me notifications. I have went in through my phone and through my computer to tell it NOT to send me notifications for when someone replies to my posts (or so I thought), but it still does. I think I am just forgetting how to do it, I know it is real simple, but I can't remember.

I just upgraded my device last night and everything so far seems to be par for the course except that the twitter launch button is no where to be found. I went into the the add-on applications area and it says twitter 1.0.0.40 is installed but for the life of me I can find out how to use it again.

Same Issue
Any Suggestions??:-o
