1) Is using an Autoloaders are safe?

2)can those auto loaded os give the same stuff which OTA does?

3)After installing leaked os can we get the official updates..

4) if we didn't like the new auto loaded 10.3 os means can we get back to our original 10.2 os ?

5) which are the best Autoloaders so far for 10.3 os?

Comrades! Please clear all my doubts. I was totally messed with all these.. and I want 10.3 for my Z10STL100-4/10.2.1.3247. Thanks in advance

1. Yes very safe however it will wipe your device to an as new condition, make sure you have a backup!

2. Yes they give the same thing as OTA updates.

3. Yes.

4. You can, in the same way you would have to with an OTA update, using another autoloader for the 10.2 OS which are available here on Crackberry.

5. Just select the latest, using the highest number is probably the best way to select.

Enjoy!

By the way, make sure you use the right autoloader for your device!

There are some differences between different models of the Z10, so there are Autoloaders for Model 1 and maybe different ones for the Verizon (USA) model. Similarly, sometimes there are differences for the Verizon Z30. Then there are differences between Autoloaders for the Z10, the Z30, the Q10, the Classic, etc.

Right on F2

1. Using an autoloader is perfectly safe. BlackBerry devices are very secure, even when it comes to loading software onto them. If even so much as a single byte of the OS/radio image were to be changed, your device will refuse to load it. This is because every release from BlackBerry is signed and any modifications would break that signature.
2. An OS that is autoloaded will give you the full BlackBerry 10 OS and the corresponding radio for your device, so this includes all of the default apps and stuff like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. You may notice that carrier specific apps may not be loaded, depending on whether or not your carrier has deployed the specific software release in which you are loading. With that being said however, you should be able to download any of the carrier apps you want (for example, an account app to monitor your usage) from BlackBerry World.
3. Yes, you will still receive official updates when they become available so long as their version number is higher than the software you currently have loaded to your device.
4. You can use an OS 10.2 autoloader to restore your device back to the older software should you not like 10.3.1. Keep in mind however that it is not always possible to restore a backup from a newer software version to an older one without some modification, and may not always work. Your mileage may vary.
5. BlackBerry 10.3.1.2708 is very stable and I would recommend using that release for your device.

Leaked OSes are in most cases considered official and no different than what you'd get over-the-air (OTA) once your carrier has approved it, with the only difference being that you don't have to wait for it to be approved through your carrier. These OS builds are typically pushed out by BlackBerry to unlocked devices before carriers approve them. Whether they are deployed internally, on a small scale, or publicly OTA, there's really no difference in what you'd get. For example, OS 10.3.1.2576 was pushed out to unlocked devices and then around a week later it was pushed out by some Canadian carriers.

The exception to the above would be beta releases, such as 10.3.2.281. You can tell if a release is a beta release by its version number, the build number (the last three or four digits on the end) will typically be under 1000 and there will be PIN watermarks in each corner of the screen. These are typically leaked from BlackBerry's Beta Zone and aren't always the most stable as they are still in development, and as such most of those builds will be listed as a beta in the thread where they are posted.
