OK guys, so this is the deal
I have a Z10 stl100-3, i am running the official 10.2 software bit all this talk about the 10.2.1 is really making me itchy to try it, now I have side loaded stuff on my phone so I have tried that before but I am no super computer whizz
Can some guide me to a link (or maybe a vid) were there are some step by step instructions to do this.
The Z is my Maine device so i do rely on it and wouldn't want to screw up on this

One of the easiest things ever. Download OS you want. Backup you phone. Close link. Run Exe that you downloaded.

If it is OK for you try not to do a restore. Things seem to work better without a restore.

Here is an original thread on how to

Look I. The beta OS forum for the 10.2.1 for all devices and download the correct one.

Search in the forums, Google Chrome sideload, that will help you and for me is the easiest way

Do it! 10.2.1.1055 is awesome!

People say to backup up using link, but restoring a backup may cause some complications.

The only thing I backup are music, videos, docs, pictures by drag and drop. I sacrifice my text messages and app progress (saved games). Never have I encountered a major problem, but it's not for everyone.

Also you can use fire chest app for some backup you will love the effective the app is

1. *If you are installing a leak for the first time, download "7Zip" (free) from the web.
2. Disable device radios (this prevents new messages arriving during backup/restore. Most people do this by putting the device in Airplane Mode.) Delete ALL accounts.
3. Do a backup using Blackberry Link, unplug phone and turn it OFF. Remove sd card.
4. Close Link
5. Double click leaked file.
6. Double click file in 7Zip folder (if necessary and wait for screen on PC to show a black window and look for the words "Connecting to Bootrom". (may take up to 6-7 minutes)
7. Plug in phone. Red light comes on and turns to green. OS will load up in about 3-5 minutes or so.
8. Complete initial device setup (if using the optional Security Wipe method below, don't bother signing in to BlackBerry ID)
9. Disable device radios
10. Optional : Perform a Security Wipe. NOT recommended on 10.2.1.1055 leak install(Settings > Security and Privacy > Security Wipe)
11. Complete initial device setup (I usually sign in to BlackBerry ID here)
12. Sideload your selected applications
13. Restore from Link (Optional and I do NOT recommend doing this. I personally do not use restore. I start fresh)
14. Enable radios if needed.
15. Sign in to your accounts.
16. Insert sd card. Choose where to save files (usually "SD Card")

*I do not restore except when reinstalling an os from the same version number. (IE: restoring 10.1.0.273 backup to a phone that has 10.1.0.273 os installed) I have found that older os data sometimes causes conflicts on newer os's.

Some people have experienced a few. Go back to the forum post that you found the link to download it. On the first post it will say what some of the issues are and some fixes. If you are going to do 10.2.1.1055. I know it tells you.

I do not restore and I do not security wipe and I do not have any of the issues that others do.
