Before installing the OS I did a wipe using BBSAK. Then used it to load the new OS. That might not have worked if I had tried to do the install using Desktop Manager.

I put my SIM in it to test and everything seemed to work well.
Wait a minute!

If I install the os5 without a sim and after a bbsak wipe, I will have then a Bold with os5 that I could use as I use now with the os4.6????

Does anyone have a problem with MMS texts outgoing on AT&T?
What about SMS texting in a chat format.. Mine freezes every once in a while to where I have to delete the current message and start over?

Don't have that problem though sometimes, it skips dates and does not show conversations in certain dates. Like it will say tues. feb 12 and then conversation, then skip to like feb 18, not showing any conversations in between, when I know I had some conversations. Also, my sms conversations sometimes show up as bbm conversations.

Ok...I used BBSAK to install the new os5, and first I tried NOT to wipe the device so to check if I could get an upgrade keeping all my apps so to NOT have to reinstall al of them.

Note1: I have noticed that the Loader was permitting me to install ONLY the main os 5 core files plus some few other things like the browser and email stuff, with no other modules like the languages and the games.

After the install the deviced was not presenting any of my apps, so I decided to go for a BBSAK wipe so to have a clean fresh install (just in case something had gone wrong).

After the wipe I executed the loader again (ALWAYS from BBSAK - same as before) and I have noticed the same thing as in Note1: it was permitted to install ONLY the main os5 core files.

After the os 5 install I tried to load all theother modules, but I am not able to select them!!

How can I do so?!?

I loaded this os on my bold a few weeks ago. I can say that the memory issue for me has improved greatly. My bold has never dropped below 20 megs yet.

I have noticed two things though. Google maps does not always put me in the exact location on the map as it used to in os 4.6, sometimes its off by a few city blocks or shows me driving on road beside a major hwy that I`m driving on.

The other issue is that when responding to an email I can only reply from the address to which it was sent as before I would be able to select from one of my three email addresses.

Ok...I tried to execute DM, and I can now see the 5.0 os in the list of the available os, but my old 4.6 os is the one selected as "preferred".

I decided to select the 5.0 os, but in the next screen the DM is telling me that there is no software for this os, so I can't select any modulesor stuff!!!!

How can I instal this new os5??? what whent wrong?!?!?!?

It works fine the OS 5 but I need the MDS services and the OS 5 not included any more. So, I need to downgrade to 4.6.

I already delete the OS 5 version from my Pc and the Desktop manager doesn't show me the 4.6 OS version to downgrade. I already delete all the previous version of 4.6 and reinstall my last version of 4.6 and delete the vendor file and I can not downgrade my BB bold.

Any hint to do to downgrade?

Hi,

I have read very conflicting reviews/information on various forums which discuss the OS 4.6 v 5.0 for the Bold 9000.

I am reluctant to move to OS 5.0 from my current 4.6

I have several third party applications installed (too many to list) and wonder if there would be any issues with these if I upgrade. Will I have to reinstall them again, or does the upgrade process install them automatically?

Also, would there be any real benefit by upgrading?

Thanks.

I'm going to try and reinstalling the update again I suppose. I still can't send an outgoing MMS and I have problems with the SMS chat logs...

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.
This is not working for me for some reason. I installed the downloaded exe on my Windows 7 computer, deleted vendor.xml in the above location, then ran loader.exe. See attached screen shot... it says nothing about 5.0. I went ahead and ran the install anyway... checked my bb, still on 4.6.

What am I doing wrong?


edit: this is the first time I'm trying to install an OS on this AT&T phone... do I need to do something before I can install OSes on here?

Thanks for the screenshot! Your file date stamps are all November '09, but mine are early March '10. So I'd say that the OS5 install file you downloaded wasn't installed properly; you're still accessing the old version of the apploader files. You did double-click the downloaded file and successfully go through that installation process first, correct?

Wipe your device with BBSAK and then use loader exe and update to 5. OS . Good luck Chuck :P
