BB10 users: If you missed updating BlackBerry World before May 30th and it's no longer working for you; here is an easy, straight forward method to get your BBW up and running again.
This will also get BBW to work if you've needed to wipe your device for some reason.
Note that this will only work on OS version 10.3.1.xxxx and above, if you're still on an older version you might need to update your OS with an autoloader if possible.
This method will be using Darcy's BlackBerry Tools (DBBT) for Windows, or Sachesi for Mac. You can also sideload using a Chrome extension, see TechOdyssys' video below if you prefer a visual guide.
You will need;
• Your BB10 device (running 10.3.1 or higher).
• A computer.
• A USB cable to connect your device to your computer.
You will also need to install the BB10 drivers if you don't already have them installed. Note that you do NOT have to install Blend or Link, just the drivers.

1) First, you will need to download, unzip, and install DBBT to your PC, or Sachesi on your Mac (thanks to @TrumpetTiger for hosting the files).

2) Once you have that completed, you will need to download the updated .bar file of BlackBerry World. You will want to put it on your desktop.
3) Once you have the correct program downloaded and installed for your computer, you can go ahead and open it.
For Windows
Verify that DBBT has recognized and is connected to your device in the bottom left hand corner. If you have a password on your device, you will be asked to enter it in order to proceed.
Once you're connected, simply drag and drop the previously downloaded BBW patch from your desktop into the open DBBT window.

Verify that Sachesi has recognized and is connected to your device by clicking on the device tab. Your device info should be displayed under the Device tab if connected. Once connected, go to the 'Install' tab and simply drag and drop the previously downloaded BlackBerry World .BAR file into the window.
Wait for the installation process to complete and you should be good to go!
Good luck!
