Us cellular 8230f, Cannot load 5.0?!?

no matter what i do i cannot get 5.0 to load onto this device, i have no idea why i delete the vendor file.

im not new to this, and never had a problem loading any os, beta,leak or hybrid.

now i even bricked the phone during the process, then i would attempt to unbrick and apploader would say it cannot find software for the phone.

it couldnt find any software for the phone until i re added the stock os from uscellular,

so why cant i load it??

is the the F definition behind the 8230?? is this the reason??

can anyone help?

is there a way to get bbm 5.0 on here with just the 4.6.1.302 thats currently on the phone?

I am not 100% sure the 8230 had a 5.0 release/leak??

What I do suggest though, if it does and you have the right files.. Delete the BBDM and any software you have installed on your PC. Restart your PC. Use JL_Commander or BBSAK and completely 100% wipe it. Then try to install your OS via apploader.

I'll ask for help from higher up for you, just in case! :)

What OS version are you trying to install? Are you just wanting BBM 5.0?

i was trying to load os 5.0.0.230

it is out there everywhere as a leak for the 8230, but the us cellular pearl is the 8230f, and i read where someone had a problem with a alltell 8230f , and couldnt get this installed but anyone with a 8230 could install this np.

anyways i could care less about the whole os 5.0

all i really want is bbm5.0, is there anyway i can get this installed without the leaked os 5.0?? im pretty much sure i cannot get it installed.

the device was basically wiped and ready for a os, i was unable to load the 5.0 no matter what, the only time it reconized anything was when it was the stock os from the device that was orignally loaded.

Leaked: OS 5.0.0.230 For BlackBerry 8230 Pearl Flip | CrackBerry.com

Yeah if all you want is BBM 5.0, you can get it by going to BlackBerry Messenger. I certainly would not recommend such a early version of OS 5.0 for any device.

thanks for the help, i just hate how there is no life in the pearl flip devices :(

like no OS support.
