- So hey guys I just bought a BlackBerry 9700 from eBay. I found it it has OS 6
So I did some research and now I know how to downgrade it. Only problem is that on the T-Mobile USA website, it only gives me the download link for the OS 6 operating system and not OS 5.
Is it possible for me to download an OS 5 OS from AT&T and use that OS 5 for my T-Mobile phone? The OS 5 I downloaded is still for Blackberry Bold 9700's.
Someone please let me know asap!
EDIT: I GOT THIS OS 5.1.0.177
Btw this is how I'm going to downgrade it someone please confirm.
1. Wipe using BBSak (Don't need to backup anything since I don't have anything on the phone thats my personal use)
2. Install OS 5 on the Desktop
3. Delete Vendor.XML
4. Run Loader.exe
5. Wait for it to finish then enjoy
Someone also please let me know!07-26-11 11:18 PMLike 0 - Yep, the steps you listed are what you need to do. BUT... Ensure you note the app version of OS 5. For example: 5.0.0.979 or 5.0.0.1014.
If data services don't work at all on it, likely it was a stolen and sold blackberry and you'll be ripped off.

That's the one I have even though I have T-Mobile USA. Someone told me any OS software would work as long as its the OS for the 9700 phone.
And I'm going to call T-Mobile and tell them to add me a BB Data Plan on the phone. Would I have to configure anything like go on settings or anything like that?07-26-11 11:34 PMLike 0 - Official OS 5.0.0.979 For The BlackBerry Bold 9700 From AT&T
