New OS for the 9000 from AVEA.
This OS will load to ANY carrier's 9000 model by following the instructions below.
(Multilanguage version)

Details
BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.6.0.331 (Multilanguage)

Package Version: 4.6.0.331
Applications: 4.6.0.190
Software Platform: 4.0.0.172
File name: 9000M_PBr4.6.0_rel331_PL4.0.0.172_A4.6.0.190_AVEA. exe
File size: 93.55MB

https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...F22A6C2A830A17

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."
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.

This is the best bold OS right now, assuming its the same as the beta

So.... I just upgraded to the .185 software. Anyone care to comment on the benefits of going to .190?

[conker]

I am running .190 Beta. Does anyone know what the changes might be?

[aslamc]

humm it will not work if you have the new 4.7 installed...

[jdk2]

It works with 4.7 but I find the phone doesn't stay in 3G where with .185 that was never an issue.

[rmelano]

So guys, right now I'm running with the .162, so what are the significants differences for the bold if I install the .190?

[mjbanks]

Web browser is better. It renders pages properly where .185 didn't

I hope this is less buggy than the OS that shipped with my at&t version.
4.6.0.167

I've never had a BB crash so much. I started with the 957 then > 7100 > 8700 > 8100 > 8310 > 9000

It crashed within 10 minutes. Went to download twitterberry and when I was presented with the "Download" button the screen turned white and only a battery pull fixed it. On the way home (same day) was listening to a podcast on it and the device was unresponsive but the podcast continued--a battery pull fixed it. Viigo updates once and then never does again until I pull the battery or do a alt + shift + del.

It seems with each new device crashes happen more an more. I can't recall my 957 ever crashing, my 7100 maybe a couple of times, my 8700 once or twice and my pearl just a few. My 8310 crashed a couple of times per month. And I'm a pretty heavy user and install a lot of apps.

I have .190 when it was in beta, and when I installed this to my computer and plugged in my phone, DM said that it was a downgrade. How annoying.

Yes, that is annoying. I guess I won't "upgrade".

Wow, you are way behind.... get .190 now! I have been running the Beta version for quite sometime now, and have not had any crashes.

Just got my Bold about a week ago so....

Installed it and I hope it's less buggy.

Still getting the java error on boot though. Must be some sort of application permission thing.

I couldn't install this update with 4.7 either. I don't know the reason, it just didn't work. I had to reinstall DM 4.6.
