Thread: Tour 5.0.0.191 Findings and Discussions

BBM 4.7 does work with this build Dream.

Would it be possible for bbm5 to work if we downgraded the radio back to .140 or would we lose threaded messages if we did that

You would most likely loss threaded SMS

If your BBM is not showing in your device, try taking these steps.
This is for the 4.7 version of BBM

BBM 5.0 will not work on Build numbers higher than .16x

After you install the leak, look on Applications List to see if in fact the BBM is installed on the device.

If it is, delete it then let your device reboot. After the reboot is complete. Uninstall the OS from your PC.
Now reinstall. Do not get this action confused with deleting the OS. Simply unistall the reinstall.
Remove the RIM Internal Tool then run the connect your device to your PC and run Loader.exe.
Be sure to select the BBM to install at the Configuration screen.

That is going to be awesome. This with 5.0 will be a huge plus.

If Jeremy can figure out a hack for BBM 5 he's a god.

since both the storm and the tour have the same .191 build, and since i'm itching for the .191 to leak for the storm, i'm wondering if someone could post wat actually is in this build. As in, does it have threaded sms, does it run faster.. u know, wat's different with .191 than the previous 5.0os. Just curious.

Thanks

Pros:
Icons appear to be bolder
New clock scrolling feature, when setting an alarm clock spins like a rolodex
Trackball response is faster

Cons:
MeterBerry causes an error
Tab browsing from .140 is gone
Pandora is not working
Random reset first 5 minutes

Believe it's RIM Internal Apps. I uninstalled them, restarted installation, am same thing. Never had this happen before, or had to install these internal apps before.

Any suggestions?

Found the issue. It was in the security settings.

Check this out DTB...I posted this up earlier....

Hey,
The latest os version is showing up under options along with version 4.7.... i can select the newer version but it is not installing... There is an * at the end of the description that is detailed at the bottom... it states that you must be a blackberry service subscriber... What exactly does that mean and is that interfering with the latest os upgrade? any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Thanks
