This totally just worked for me! Except I used it to wipe the device, and then used the app loader from Program files instead of from the DM. THANKS! Another phone is coming via Fed Ex i can just have that sent back

Search google or the forums for 5.0.0.1014 if that's what you're looking for and install it. Remember to delete any vendor.xml files if it's not from your carrier.

these how to guides are wonderful. I very seldom wipe and download just for the fun of it. Normally if I am in need of loading the os or 3rd party apps its because I am experiencing trouble with a bricked or non-communicating BB phone. What I would love to see is a step by step guide this nice dealing with a Non-communicating BB phone ,or as in the case of my 9800 that has the endless boot loop syndrome which makes it totally unable to communicate with, a guide to get it or other BB phone to a point where it can be brought back into a useful state. Anybody know of one or can a guide be done?

If you are trying to use BBSAK with OS 7 or OS 7.1, you need to download the latest version, which is 1.9.2. Previous versions of BBSAK do not recognize OS 7 or OS 7.1.
