.132 Leaked OS

NOTE: You do NOT need the .141 leaked OS, it is in the installer.
(there are also other files there that you can look at, but these are the necessary ones to get it working.)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Tips:

Make sure you do not have any OS's installed on your computer. This creates the least amount of errors.

Download your specific Installer and the .132 leaked OS before you start

Dont have too many things running in the background
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A big thanks goes to lyricidal for helping me compile this tutorial and building the programs to make this upgrade possible. MAKE SURE TO DONATE TO HIM!


if people use the my installer over 132, they will have the full 141/5.0 (141 radio)
if they do the Java files only over .132, they will have 141/5.0 with .132 radio

Step 1. Install the .132 leaked OS on your computer.
Step 2. Go to your Hybrid installer that you downloaded and run and click install
Step 3. Shrink A OS should have popped up
Step 4. At the top, where it says Select your OS Install Folder:, make sure you choose your .132 folder (it is located C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9530-v4.7.0.132_P4.0.0.162)
Step 5. Go through what you want and what you dont want in the check boxes and shrink it!
Step 6. When you are done with that, hit Launch Loader.exe next to the shrink button
Step 7. Go through the steps and make sure to backup. (you will go through a few steps)
Step 8. You are at the upgrading screen... it will take about 20 minutes... the device initialization takes the longest so be patient
Step 9. Ok, its rebooting... now on your blackberry, go to ->options -> About -> Third line should read v4.7.0.141. Platform 174 (if it doesnt, recheck your work and start over)


------------------------------------------------------
quick rundown of Swap-A-Radio:


Click Browse, choose your latest OS install folder (in this case C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9530-v4.7.0.141_P4.0.0.174 if you're swapping .141's)
click the radio you want to change to (.90)
and wait til it gives you a message box saying it was swapped
then Launch Loader.exe and update your phone

If im missing a step, please tell me... im really tired, but i hope this helps!!!

You're tutorial doesn't answer the question I have from my reply.

[Shamrock013]

Don't forget that some suggest to delete the Vendor.xml file prior to installation.

[howarmat]

why are you installing .132 on your phone, then installing the hybrid and installing on your phone again?

If your computer's operating system is 32 bit, use the x86 installer. Use the x64 installer for 64 bit operating systems.

Does anyone have anything good or constructive to say? I may try running this tomorrow afternoon after I get home from working... at Verizon Wireless :-)

How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the Windows operating system

[x1208x]

so far the only thing i see that is noticeably better is the memory. the screen lock problem not responding when you touch the screen is actually really annoying me. i am thinking of removing this and putting back in bbcrackman's v3 .114 hybrid.

And to answer the other question,

the point of the hybrid is it uses files from other versions and overites ones being installed. so basically the creator is chosing different components to make the best possible os. What the hybrid installer with this OS does is it automatically overites the files he wanted to put in the OS. Thats all.

in the about, on your phone, the third line should read v4.7.0.132... if you did it at the end it should say .141 instead of .132

[CrackBurglar]

I did this yesterday. It was simple, and only a few little problems. nothing to balk at. Follow the idoctor's steps exactly and you should be fine.
