Installed OS5.0 on my BB Bold 9000 last nite.

Yup, the differences that I noticed are as per weileong's post above.

A few things, that I'm trying to resolve:

1. At first, right after the installation completed, under Mobile Network Settings, BIS services on my BB was dropping off and on. THis morning, everything was OK. Guess last nite, there was some problems with Celcom BIS (probably).

2. Very scared, as it was my first OS upgrade for my BB. But reading the crackberry guide, etc on how-to do OS upgrade really helps.

3. A friend is also gonna upgrade his BB BOld 9000 to OS5.0, but not sure how to go about if his is a company-issued BB which probably has IT Policy/Security built-in.

Overall, satisfied with OS5.0. Still doing the "shakedown" on this OS.

just realize no mms with os5

tried on my cousin's bold 9000 from celcom.
it works. but not for my maxis bold 9000 -.-

im facing the same problem as well. But others have mms function in their 5.0

Thanks for the link for the OS upgrade for Curve 8900. Wanted to know, both my wife and I have a BB. Mine the Curve 8900 while hers the Curve 8520.

I know the OS for hers is not out yet, but if let's say it's out. Would I follow the same procedure to upgrade the OS?

I've read that we need to delete the vendor.xml file. So do I need to delete it when doing mine, and again delete it when I'm upgrading hers?

Storm1 9500 Official OS5.0.0425 from A1 are here! Go go download

Downloaded.

Flashing now.

well notice not much diff on reboot timing on my 8900

BB Bold from vadafone can update the 5.0 firmware that u post in the 1st post?

@petepix

do you have any problem using viigo?
mine can't seem to load, just hanged there.

but apart from that the new OS is good!

Has anyone updated their 9700 to v5.0.0.423?
I just did last night and some of my icons are missing.

Have a question here - if i upgrade my bold to the v5 of the OS, will i get punked or screwed by Celcom with their BIS?

Still wary to upgrade not officially from celcom/maxis/digi la

u have to delete and reinstall viigo and some other apps, forgot which one
so rules of thumb, if u hv problem with any 3rd party apps, just delete it and reinstall the latest version.
btw i had to download BBM5.0, coz OS5.0 does not comes with it, in my case

I have reinstall Viigo a few times but still it hanged. Think that it could be not supported yet on the new OS. Will try again later this week.

sorted using bbsak.but after upgrading..normal connection to wifi not possible d...please help...
