Did you install your OS and then try to shrink or did you shrink and then install your OS?

I still use this excellent program to make my Storm run smooth. Thank you my friend.

I always tried to shrink before installation.

Are you selecting the correct folder. I have run into shrink issues before, but then realized I had not selected the appropriate folder that needed to be shrunk.

yea the other day i was selecting the java folder instead of the os folder, couldnt figure out why it was showing 0 bytes until i READ! lol it works. i also had v4.0 of shrink, it shows 3.6 as being the latest in the OP so you may try a new version.

Just wanted to confirm that shrink os doesnt totaly work with .238? I tried to delete the ring tones and thumb nails and it didnt work or did I do it wrong. I installed os, wiped phone and then re installed the os.

OKsounds like the problem is your selecting the wrong folder. just select your os folder not java nor cdma. if you do this u would have everything shrunken like u wanted i promise

You could try....I don't know if they are compatible though, as these OS are way too far apart.

Hi... I have a problem... I'm trying to swap only my file radio in my Stom with 5.0.0.328. I did the correct way... Install shrink a OS in OS folder (not java or cmda). Run the app and select the radio file but when I clik on SWAP the message "downloading 5.0.0.140 OS to be swapped" still in the message bar. No finish message... what can I do? I try installing shrink a OS in other folder and browsing OS folder but I have the same thing.
Of course, I have windows XP and yes, I have the OS installed in my pc

My Java file shows OS 5.0.0.191 on my PC but I am running 5.0.0.328 on my Storm. where do I find .328?

If you haven't installed on your PC, you could use this one from our DL section:
BlackBerry® Software Updates

It's from Verizon, so if this is not your carrier, search for vendor.xml on your PC and delete it.

Are you still after this? If so, install this

on your PC and copy only the CDMA folder of it over your original OS installation.
That should do the trick.

I am running DM 5.0.1. Don't know why 5.0.0.328 is not showing up in my RIM Java folder

So you mean, there is no
/program files/common files/research in motion/shared/loader files/...your device...5.0.0.328..../Java folder on your PC? That would be odd, if you've just installed the OS

I'm downloading it now from Verizon. There will be one in a few minutes. Thanks for reply/help
