Try wiping your device and then hook up your phone to DM and let it install the last OS directly from T-Mobile's server.

I had to do this with .100. Bold wouldn't except anything until I wiped it, and installed the latest AT&T release.

i was wondering.. i see a hybrid for the 8330 and for the storm but does 8900 not have hybrid i want this .130's tabbed browser but dont wanna lose all my stuff on my phone so thats where yalls amazing hybrids come in just dont see any at all for 8900

The only reason I'm asking about stability is because the previous builds were essentially unusable and had major bugs in basic functionality. Bizzaro clock fonts, broken web browser (without tweaking) etc....

Just checking to see if this is a huge leap from there and it is usable every day. I understand it is a beta, (I'm usually pretty bleeding edge), but the prior 5.0 was garbage.

.130 is stable but the browser is horrible..... the tabs are nice.. but again links are all messed up on the browsing end...

only appsi have that work are weatherbug and slacker..

Cool thanks for letting me know man.

also googlemaps works..

I won't say your wrong but most of the time the way the OS works it depends on the way you install it, I have both Bold and 8900 right now, my 8900 is running this OS and I have no probs at all, many of my apps are working, I haven't tweaked the browser nor anything, I'll say it is very stable, and works great for me, I have had no problems at all, tabs browser are working nice.

When installing this is what I do every time:

Remove the mem card

Make a backup

Go to options, security options, click on the first line (don't remember the name right now), menu key wipe

Then using JLcmder or bbasak I'll do a wipe to reset to factory, then a full wipe till I get the 507 screen to reload software.

Then go c: program files/common files/research in motion/applications loader/

and delete the vendor.xml file, locate loader.exe (small phone icon) and double click on it.

Wait till the device restart after re loading the OS and make a battery pull, reload all your applications, then restore the back up.



That's they way I do it. Never had problems.

I was of the same opinion until I tried to install a hybrid on my 8900 and could not get it to work until I used jlcmder to wipe the device prior to installing the hybrid. After the wipe everything worked fine. The problem could be related to other issues but albeit being a catch-all solution, jlcmder fixed the issue

Just my 2cents

If you've installed BBM5 using the wrong version, it's a rather simple fix...

1. Remove BBM 5 and downgrade to BBM 4.7 using DM.
2. Reboot the device.
3. Install BBM5 for OS 5.0 OTA from here.
4. Reboot the device.

Does anyone have a mirror of the link above, I can't get to this link.

ealvnv, does FB work on this OS?
