Let see how it goes??

At least we try!

Proper Upgrade / Downgrade Procedure

Basic Procedure (Beginners)
Backup Phone in DesktopManager.
Unplug phone and close DM.
Install new OS .exe file.
Plug phone back into PC and let drivers install.
Launch DM and proceed with update of OS.
Make sure you pick Backup Data and Apps (including Messages) during the backup!!!
DO NOT under any circumstance unplug the phone or use the PC while the update is in progress. Do not let screen saver kick in either.
Unplug and use phone ONLY once the upgrade procedure states that it's finished by the DM update software on the screen.

Sorry to interrupt your topics... It think its not necessary to create a new PIN topic as its been discuss before furthermore Leaked/Hybrid are not official OS by RIM.. But what Im doing is to let the forumer about such OS existing info on BlackBerry World... Thanks for your concern and help...

Whatever it is just let it be... No point for renamed it...

Yes that is the procedure... 100% correct!!!

Congratulations on successful of installation...

BTW better dont discuss here, bcoz this topic is for OS upgrade.... If you want to discuss Hybrid better open a new thread...

You need to re-install your OS then your BlackBerry are back to normal...

1) Download the OS, it is better to download from blackberry website.
2) After download. install this exe file. do not run desktop manager.
3) Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader and delete vendor.xml
4) Now run your blackberry desktop manager.
5) Go to application loader . then goto update software. After it initialize your phone it shows you that recommended to update to OS5 BUT when you want to continue it will show you that "no update needed" or "you should be subscribed user to update" SO wait do not close this page.
6) go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader and run loader.exe now
7) In the list choose what you want to install.(here you will see the blackberry OS5 is ticked already)
8) Complete your install (it take some time (for me around 15 min)
9) Then your device will be restart and as it first run it take more than 10 min to start.
10) Now you have OS5 on you BlackBerry. You can check it on menu>settings>about.

The you need to use 3rd party Apps.. BBSAK.. Apps Loader to re-install your the OS you downloaded... Here are the BBSAK download link:

You are welcome... What the problem you have after upgrade??

What is the problem you had after you successfully installed your OS??

That is impossible! What you see and got is OS5 Base with mix .COD from OS6 .cod files...

Hybrid is not bad you saved a lot of space in your OS.. BTW this topic is for OS Update not for leaked nor hybrid discussion.. Please keep to topic...

It is on first page:

So, you downloaded the newest, latest and greatest OS for your BlackBerry and have followed all the instructions found here.

1. Download and install Desktop Manager.
2. Download and install the OS of your choice for your device.
3. Delete vendor.xml located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader.
4. Plug in BB and open Desktop Manager.

However, when you open Desktop Manager you get no prompt to update. When you open Application Loader your new OS is not listed!!

This has been plaguing people for the last few months. I've never experienced the issue because of the way I've loaded Desktop Manager but Vasco at Horizon did and he and I together figured this out. I believe we've found the issue and will explain how to fix here.

The problem lies in the new Desktop
Manager's automatic "Check for Updates" feature. This feature uses your internet connection to look for OS updates for your device from your carrier. When it does this it loads a second virtual vendor.xml file in the temp folder on your computer (Vista users look in C:\Users\Username\appdata\virtualstore.) So, even after you delete the normal one that is installed with the OS and Desktop Manager, the automatic "check for updates" feature loads another one based on the brand of device you've got plugged into the PC.

To prevent this from happening this you need to install Desktop Manager WITHOUT this Automatic Update service. Below are the steps to remove this service.

1. Go to Control Panel >Add/Remove Programs.
2. Click on "BlackBerry Desktop Software" and select "Change/Remove."
3. When prompted, hit "Next" and then you should get options for Modify, Repair, or Remove. Choose "Modify."
4. On DM 4.7 and higher, in the list of installed items, you should see "BlackBerry Automatic Update." Click the icon next to it and change it to "This feature will not be available." That should put an "X" next to "BlackBerry Automatic Update." If you are using DM 4.6 or lower and don't see this option in this list then just continue with the install and the installation will ask you a few screens later. A screen will be shown where you will be asked to check the boxes for:

A) "Start BlackBerry Desktop Manager automatically each time the computer starts."
B) "Create a shortcut for BlackBerry Desktop Manager on the Windows Desktop."
C) "Check for software updates."

Be sure number 3, "Check for software updates," is NOT checked.

5. Finish the installation.

(Note: If you're doing a fresh install of Desktop Manager, be sure and choose the "Custom" install button so that you get the prompt for what features you want installed. Otherwise all the features will be installed as normal and you'll likely run into this issue.)

Once that is complete, you'll need to go back and search your computer for vendor.xml. When you do the search, make sure you click on "Advanced Options" and make sure that you search Hidden files and folders. This is important as some operating systems create a virtual store in the temp folder that this vendor.xml file is located in. You will not find this particular vendor.xml if you don't have hidden files/folders selected for search. Once the hidden vendor.xml is deleted it won't come back if you've reinstalled Desktop Manager without the Automatic Update Feature enabled.

Now, make sure your OS is installed (you may need to install the OS again, if you actually remove Desktop Manager and then reinstall Desktop Manager again. Make sure that you delete the normal vendor.xml file LAST before updating the device.

Tip of the day: Desktop Manager is not even required for doing an OS upgrade. In the same folder as the vendor.xml file is a file called Loader.exe. Running that will run apploader without Desktop Manager. It still makes the full backup and restore, but without all the DM stuff running in the background. I use this for all my OS upgrades. Then later I connect to DM to start my BES activation.
