I can't figure out how to get any Android apps due to being stuck with AT&T 10.1. What to do?

Use sachesi's autoloader, in pretty sure you could pull a Verizon or similar 10.2 update

Load the latest leak 10.2.1.1055 and you'll be able to run loads of Android apps.

Not Verizon.
But Sanchesi is awesome. I don't have the instructions with me, but as long as you use and official 10.2 ROM from a carrier that sells the exact same version, it will work fine.

I recommend going with what they said above

But, if you prefer staying on official releases of your carrier I'd say:
Get your bar files from here: http://bb10bars.net/
And follow the sideloading tutorial here: http://m.crackberry.com/sideload-app...-google-chrome

I also recommend you just load the latest leak. So many new features are available (including Android app installation) and I haven't encountered any bugs.

Just download it here (assuming you have an STL100-3): https://mega.co.nz/#!j1AX1JpL!SsRF9W...EFtkdRN5HbDHJY

Plug your phone in
Open the file you downloaded (it's compressed so you have to unzip it and then click the resulting file)
A black box with white letters will pop-up that will eventually ask you for your device password if you have one - type it in and press enter
Then just wait for it to finish. It will restart once it's finished so you will know. As well, the LED will shine green until it is done so don't unplug it if it is green.

you will lose all of your information on your device though so backup using BB Link.

If you won't do the leak then either do the sachesi method or Google Chrome method to side load. There are tons of thread in here explaining the steps to do it. Search them up

I finally completed the upgrade to 10.2, it took about 4 hours to complete. I followed the instructions below. Thanks for the help!!!! All went well.

thx again, all went well so far.

[Aljean Thein]

Did you upgrade to 10.2.1?

[Drake Photography HD]

I did upgrade to 10.2.1, thanks for your support.

I used the auto loader, totally worth it
I was afraid at first but some members here walked me thru it.
Real easy, and you will love your phone

I downloaded the link and when I try to open the zip file I get this error box.

Anyone know what I can do about it?

[srzjumper]

I was able to open and install the autoloader and update phone to the 10.2.1 leaked OS.

Now onto the next step to restore my data.. using Link, should I check off "restore all data" including the "settings"?

So your not frustrated with your Z, your frustrated with your carrier..

Call and complain! See what they say and depending on, you can either wait for the update or take matters into your own hands and install the update via leaked auto loader or sachesi

I was able to upgrade OS on my Z10 and download/install some android apps via Chrome extension.

Here's the thing though. 1. I really like the 10.2.1 updates (so far). 2. The only Android Apps I want, theScore and News360, I cannot find the rar files for to install. Both of these are available in BB World, but they are pretty damn crappy versions with lots of bugs, nearly useless. The other popular apps, Instagram, all the chat apps, Vine, Netflix, I don't care for installing unless I decide to go promote some product or service down the line.

Anyone have success getting Android version of theScore or News360 on their BB device?
