Download HERE
Instructions for installing either version on ANY carrier's 9500:

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.

Hello, not sure if this question has been asked before but do these instructions work if you are using a Apple MAC? If not, could someone please post instructions on installing with a MAC system?

Thanks in advance!

Since it is a Windows executable, the only viable solution is windows-on-a-mac, such as a Bootcamp or a Parallels Desktop installation.

managed to download it and install it. had problems. went back to 4.7.0.122

[bogman]

I have had .141 since it was in Beta and I really like it. Haven't had any issues.

[zeeshany]

upgraded from 122 to 141 working fine so far...

[jameskirk]

i've installed 195/141, but it doesn't really show up in the add/remove or update software in the DM ... i can't update unless i used loader.exe any idea?

Upgraded to 4.7.0.195/4.7.0.141. No problems during the setup. Storm seems faster now. I didn't know that you have a Full Keyboard in Portrait Mode. I wouldn't recommend it though as they keys are too small.

[SVX90]

Downgraded to 4.7.0.122 and upgraded again to 4.7.0.141

It works beautifully. All application operational except youtube.

No, v4.7.0.78 (Platform 4.0.0.98) is not the latest. v4.7.0.141 (Platform 4.7.0.195) is the latest. Your Storm will not upgrade by itself. If you want to update, please check this forum for v4.7.0.141 bugs, and how to update.

Sorry dude, but I just updated from .78 to .141 so it's a new feature for me, and I didn't read too much about .122.

n.p.

I can't enjoy it as the keys are too small not even my gf can text with those keys. Also, there is no point in using that as typing with 2 hands is easier and faster.

[zeeshany]

upgraded to 141 any idea why youtoube is not working?
even for appworld it says does not meet sys requirment :(

[dreamtheater]

Does this version have the tmobile "edge" problem where you get no data service? I have a thread here trying to figure it out on .122 but if switching to this one will be a better shot then Ill do it.

[project86]

What happened to the LED with the 132 update? It's not on anymore. Another problem with this update? Can anyone tell me how to roll back to .75?
