Yea, I caught that spam. They keep getting trickier.

This should be a mandatory read for every BB user joining any BB forum.

Agreed, would put a lot of questions to rest and help users understand the update process better.

Hello cyber skate, good question. The difference is a leaked OS is an OS that has been made by RIM but just not attached to any carrier yet. A Hybrid OS is a OS made by RIM that has been modified in a number of ways by a 3rd party to create a better running OS. A Hybrid may focus on certain functions of a OS to improve upon.

Many times the leaked OS is not available for a certain device. So groups like OSBB and others take files from a leaked OS and combine them to improve performance or fix bugs as you stated.

The authoritative point of view, cognitively..

Nice post, thanks for clarifying that to us.

Thanks Joe.
