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 AppLoader 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.

improvement ive found from user:

Faster- smooth OS performance.
GPS-google maps works.
Better sound quality.
Improved BT
Improved battery life
Improved signal strength -no cycle

cmon you all must stickied this thread :)

I have upgraded mine to .57. I am on Sprint. I agree with GPS working for Google Maps, finally. I also think the battery life is improved too. I am not sure about signal strength and other improvements. Lets see.

Upgraded the other day. Time will tell on the battery. Phone sounds pretty clear (I didn't notice that it may not have been clear) and the Google Maps fix is great.

i'm not seein' it on sprints site.

Right now you can only get it via the update page @ BlackBerry.com, and only if you have Sprint. Check this post for the link to get it if you are a Sprint customer:

I *think* US Cellular has also released the same version, and you can download it from their site.

EDIT: US Cellular has .53 on their site, not .57.

The manual download is on Sprint's site, see the link above.

Stickied, thanks.

Ah. Looks like they finally added it.

It says it works on any carrier - why is it labeled Sprint in the file name?

Because that's who released it. It will work with any carrier if you follow the instructions (esp. step #2).

I just successfully loaded 4.7.1.57 using BDM; I'll post my
experiences with the new OS as I see them..

I am currently running v4.7.1.53 (platform 4.1.0.65) and am unable to load this OS. I have installed OS upgrades in the past and am sure I have followed all of the steps. When I click on apploader file, the only software that shows up in the 'application window' are my apps, but no OS. I've tried several times. I hope I am missing the obvious. Is my current OS newer than this update? Am I misreading the version numbers? Thanks for any help.

thanks JS 8-)(y)

Desktop Manager saw the installed new version and said "no software updates are required" whenever I clicked "next", but using the "double click on "Loader.exe."" method installed it right away.

use DM - application loader - update - option- update for your OS appear..
use DM 5

Can i just double check that this new OS works for the Bold, as i don't know if the 9630 is meant to be a new model

Any more feedback regarding installing this version on a Verizon Tour. Pro/Con?

problems with bbm
 

ok so i installed the new os last night. about 2 weeks ago i had installed the new bbm. well after installing the new os my bbm disappeared. lost all contacts and all but my friends say they still see me as active. anyone have this problem or know the fix to it? it would be appreciated

hey dude this one for bb Tour aka 9630 not for bold aka 9000

I put this on tonight. Taking it back off.

It works find, but the main thing I am looking for is a fix to the bug of no audio on Contact Alerts when holstered. Same problem exists in .53. UGH.

I would give 5.0.0.230 another try, but all the links look to be gone.
