Hybrid: OS 7.1.0.74 / 7.0.0.540 For Torch 9810
http://www.blackberryos.com/bbos-ima...-OS71a-7uq.jpg

The guys over at OSBB have developed a unique hybrid OS 7.1 for the Torch 9810. This OS provides mobile Hotspot and EAS to the 9810 by injecting 7.1 files into previously released OS 7.0.0.540. Now, before you install this release please remember that it is not an official release and its a little tricky to install. Here are the basic instructions to install this release, please proceed with caution.
1. Download & install official 7.0.0.540
2. Now, Download the leaked java here
3. Once downloaded, run the installer & locate its destination to OS 7.0.0.540 folder e.g. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9810* - Folder
4. Now install/re-install OS
If you are successful please let us know your findings and fixes.

Warning: Please remember that this IS NOT an official release OS. If you wish to install this OS keep in mind that this may cause your phone to not function correctly. If you are not comfortable and/or unsure as how to upgrade to this OS and need assistance, please click the link below.

I'm hearing that OSBB are calling this a leaked OS and denying it's a hybrid. They may have had the original OS 7.1 files for the 9810, but once they manipulated the OS and required the installation with another OS this is by definition a hybrid.

It's a case of semantics as well. Calling this a normal leaked OS would be not accurate. Plus I've been hearing that a lot of users are having many problems with installation. So it's not the run of the mill leaked OS installation process.

Are you going to try to install on your 9810?

I can't even get .540 or any OS installed on my device. It's driving me a little crazy and I'm starting to think it could be my computer. I'm gonna try updating my OS on my dad's computer tonight.

The problem is it just wont notify me of an available update even though i've installed the OS and deleted the vendor.xml file. I've tried different USB cords, ports, deleting the DM, older OSes, everything I can think of nothing. Neither the DM nor the Loader will recognize the new OS for some reason.

I'm stumped.

I know a little trick that works every time, let me know if you still can't get it working.

Also, I know that there can be two vendor xml files and that they can come back after deleting. So be sure they are deleting for good.

Okay so I was able to get .585 loaded onto my device using my dad's computer... so it's definitely something with my laptop then

I could only think that there is a permissions thing going on. Have you tried running as administrator on your laptop?

I don't know why you needed 7.0.0.540.

Everything is working great :D

7.0.0.540 may just be the OS they tested the 7.1 hybrid with, so it's what they recommend.

How is it running?

How is it running?

I have come across several bugs now, such as starting up the camera function, and I'm unable to return to the main menu, also when someone has attached a picture in BBM, and as I observe the picture in question, I am unable to return to the main screen again, it completely freezes the phone, and the only way to return to full functionality is to remove the battery, and put back in phone to be fully functional again.

We all know that this OS 7.1 is not an Official release nor endorsed by RIM for the BlackBerry Torch 9810, so to install this or any other leaked release, you have to understand that there are risks involved to your BlackBerry phone.

In conclusion, I have finally decided to reinstall 7.0.0.585 as it is a very stable build for my BlackBerry Torch 9810.

Yep. Hopefully a "official" leaked or official OS comes out soon for the 9810.

I'm sure it will happen eventually, a lot more carriers will be offering Official OS 7.1 updates to the end user as time goes on.
I am glad I did install the leaked 7.1 for my 9810, so see what it can offer, and any outstanding issues that may arise, and be corrected in near future builds.
