Here's my updated OS install guide if anyone needs a refresher...

ELITE1's OS UPGRADE GUIDE
(updated 2012-09-01)

1. (Optional) Uninstall any previous OS from PC.
2. Download OS to PC. Use Internet Explorer, not Firefox or Chrome. (For leaked versions, browser is irrelevant.)
   *If 100% certain you previously used FF or Chrome on same PC to DL an OS successfully, feel free to use FF or Chrome again.
3. Following successful DL, run OS file to install OS on PC.
4. On BB, go to BBM Options, scroll down to Backup section. Ensure Remote Backup is enabled AND also conduct a Local Backup to media card.
5. Go through any 3rd party apps with option to save settings to media card. Conduct Backup to media card within each of these apps. (Examples: Bellshare apps like BerryBuzz & BerryWeather; QuickLaunch; Shao's apps like Wallpaper Changer & SixTools; etc).
6. Connect BB to PC. Open DM and backup device. Close DM.
7. (Optional) Use desktop app like BBSAK or BBMCP to backup 3rd party apps.
8. On PC, delete Vendor file located here:
   64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
   32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
9. (Optional/Recommended) Run BBH Tool (formerly Shrink-A-OS) or BB Boss v2.2 (not as updated as BBHT).
10. In same AppLoader file where you deleted Vendor, double-click Loader to load OS to BB. Follow onscreen instructions.
11. After loading OS, perform several physical battery pulls over first 1-2 days for OS to "settle in." Perform first batt pull very soon after OS is loaded.

**TROUBLESHOOTING**
How to Fix OS not Appearing as Available
There are 2 common reasons:

A. HIDDEN VENDOR FILE
Consider trying this new desktop app to remove Vendor from several common locations:
http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...-files-709738/

If manually deleting Vendor, always hold down SHIFT and press DELETE to permanently delete.
Check here first:
64-bit: Computer\C:\Users\{USER NAME}\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
32-bit: Computer\C:\Documents and Settings\{USER NAME}\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
If Loader still doesn't make new OS available, search PC for "Vendor".

If Vendor is not found anywhere, see below to delete contents of AppLoader folder. (Folder where you found Loader & Vendor.)

B. APPLOADER FOLDER ITEMS

1. Uninstall the OS: Control Panel\Programs and Features, highlight this BlackBerry Device Software, click Uninstall at top.
2. Delete AppLoader folder contents: Highlight any item, CTRL+A to select all, SHIFT+DELETE to permanently delete.
   64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
   32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
3. Restart PC.
4. Re-install OS on PC: Go to your browser's downloads section, double-click OS to start InstallShield Wizard.
5. Delete Vendor: Return to AppLoader folder, highlight Vendor, SHIFT+DELETE.
6. Load OS to BB: Attach BB to PC, double-click Loader (in AppLoader folder, where you deleted Vendor).

PS I've posted this before in other threads, but there always seems to be some people that appreciate a step-by-step each time.

Was just going to update last 9900 one of my guys has with 861.
Wonder how much this will differ? Won't be by much... I'll probably end up using this newest one unless feedback is horrible.

Gotcha...My thoughts too pretty much.

So you're still running a 9900? No Z10 love yet?

Gave mine back and received refund... BlackBerry Turkey made me angry and I decide not to buy Z10...

[FreddyB8]

Id rather just wait for Platform: 5.1.0.652 Applications: 7.1.0.923 7.1.0 b2534

[Chaplain_Clancy]

Do we have a changelog on this?

[maxx71]

Thanks Rroyy, thought you had moved to Z10 but glad you are with us for the time being. Although i expected to see .880 or .899 first but any new OS is more than Welcome

........time for some BL magic now and RC14

[Boon185]

[hakdaddy1]

LED customisations feature removed apprentally...

BlackBerry vet since 2004! Z10; Bold 9900 & 64gb PlayBook owner

the only downside to having a macbook....every time a new OS update drops there is so much lag time before I can upgrade....

no OS upgrade in my software update screen or BB desktop

[blueyestm]

This update takes away the LED? Hows that? I use BeBuzz so it won't work?!?

Other recent OS's have had built in LED change functions.

This OS is a step backwards as it does not incorporate this feature. It might have a higher version number than .861 but is not actually a newer OS, just the same as the last Official AT&T .694 had older cods and app versions that OS's from other carriers with a lower version number.

3rd party apps such as Beebuzz and Advance OS will still function properly.

well then why'd they put it out? Lol I'm not upgrading to that.

[ddlax22]

Eh ill stick with what works for me .694 (I'm way back there!)
Hopefully Z10 soon.

[SC457]

it's not showing up for me ota or desktop, just going to wait for the Q10 i think anyway.

[Mecca EL]

Not actually an upgrade. This OS is a renaming of an older version. AT&T is always late to the game.

[Aljean Thein]

how long does updating your OS takes ? Just wondering
