Latest Official OS 9900 7.0.0.598

[innocentman]

hm, i got official os, i mean it was already on my bb (7.0.0.540) and not very happy with it, almost every 3 weeks getting error and it makes me pissed off, know white screen and some app error but the battery is doing great, so im not sure which os should i choose to upgrade

any advice?

well i would say go for the latest 7.1.0.267, most of the folks are on it though.
so why not you? well aslong if your current is working out for you.
then i would stay on it, and if you don't need some of the OS7.1 features.

Try the latest leak 7.1.0.267. It has many additional features over old 7.0.0.540

Yes i agree try it out,no issues currently battery life has improved without doubt. Everything just seems a lot smoother could be the placebo effect but iam happy with it.

In words of three letters, yes.

Can someone who is running this build (.598) confirm the version of Social Feeds on this build??

.540 was pulled by the carriers although we never got to know why.

If you want to stick with 7.0 then the best version I found was the .585/.540 Hybrid. Stable and good battery.

However, if you want to try 7.1 then IMO there is little to choose between .205 and .267other than the "battery saver" function, the value of which is debateable.

@Legal Eagle,

I too find that hybrid as the most stable, it has the best of both worlds.. unfortunately I dont have a backup of that build... Do you by any chance have the links for both builds? so I can revert to the 7.0 hybrid?

The 7.1.267 is a bit buggy for me and the signal is really weak in my area....
+++++


Nevermind! I found the folder here in my PC that has the FWs! just a question, is it safe to downgrade the firmware from 7.1 to 7.0?

You should be able to downgrade with no problems, just need to delete any higher OS builds from your PC and DM should then recognise .585

Im just looking for the instructions on how to move the radio file to from the 540 to the 585... totally forgot on how to do it :P

If I remember correctly it's in the Official .585 thread somewhere on page 2 in a post by Phill_UK

If you have installed it previously, won't your version of .585 on the PC actually already be the Hybrid ???

[sensei_renegade]

I uninstalled the 585, as i just flashed it with the 7.1... I want to go back to the 585 hybrid as this was the best for me..
