Downloaded and installing now.
We'll see how this OS performs after a week of extensive testing :)
Here's my updated OS install guide if anyone needs a refresher...
ELITE1's OS UPGRADE GUIDE
- (Optional) Uninstall any previous OS from PC.
- Download OS to PC. Use Internet Explorer, not Firefox or Chrome. (For leaked versions, browser is irrelevant.)
*If 100% certain you've previously used FF or Chrome on same PC to DL an OS successfully, feel free to use FF or Chrome again.- Following successful DL, run OS file to install OS on PC.
- On BB, go to BBM Options, scroll down to Backup section. Ensure Remote Backup is enabled AND also conduct a Local Backup to media card.
- Go through any 3rd party apps with option to save settings to media card. Conduct Backup to media card within each of these apps. (Examples: Bellshare apps like BerryBuzz & BerryWeather; QuickLaunch; Shao's apps like Wallpaper Changer & SixTools; etc).
- Connect BB to PC. Open DM and backup device. Close DM.
- (Optional) Use desktop app like BBSAK or BBMCP to backup 3rd party apps.
- On PC, delete Vendor file located here:
�64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
�32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader- (Optional/Recommended) Run BB Boss v2.2 or BBH Tool (formerly Shrink-A-OS).
- In same AppLoader file where you deleted Vendor, double-click Loader to load OS to BB. Follow onscreen instructions.
- After loading OS, perform several physical battery pulls over first 1-2 days for OS to "settle in." Perform first batt pull very soon after OS is loaded.
TROUBLESHOOTING
How to Fix OS not Appearing as Available
There are 2 common reasons:
A. HIDDEN VENDOR FILE
Consider trying this new desktop app to remove Vendor from several common locations:
Vendor XML Remover V1.0
If manually deleting Vendor, always hold down SHIFT and press DELETE to permanently delete.
Check here first:
�64-bit: Computer\C:\Users\{USER NAME}\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
�32-bit: Computer\C:\Documents and Settings\{USER NAME}\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
If Loader still doesn't make new OS available, search PC for "Vendor".
If Vendor is not found anywhere, see below to delete contents of AppLoader folder. (Folder where you found Loader & Vendor.)
B. APPLOADER FOLDER ITEMS
- Uninstall the OS: Control Panel\Programs and Features, highlight this BlackBerry Device Software, click Uninstall at top.
- Delete AppLoader folder contents: Highlight any item, CTRL+A to select all, SHIFT+DELETE to permanently delete.
�64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
�32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader- Restart PC.
- Re-install OS on PC: Go to your browser's downloads section, double-click OS to start InstallShield Wizard.
- Delete Vendor: Return to AppLoader folder, highlight Vendor, SHIFT+DELETE.
- Load OS to BB: Attach BB to PC, double-click Loader (in AppLoader folder, where you deleted Vendor).
PS I've posted this before in other threads, but there always seems to be some people that appreciate a step-by-step each time.
Trying a new method to keep my Japanese Language font support and input,
I wonder if I can still use the fonts from .523 or if I'll need new ones.
Scratch that, apparently my idea didn't work.
Does anyone have the .COD files necessary for BOTH Japanese input and read to be supported?
Thanks :D
Do you mean if you drop cod's for fonts into the Java folder of 649?
Are there fonts not included in 649 that are in others? Just curious, what are they called?
Oh, I probably should have reworded that.
I meant the .COD files that allow for reading Japanese fonts, as well as the CODs which also input of Japanese. On .569 they worked perfectly, but on .649 they don't work so I'm figuring out what went wrong.
Gotcha.
Oh that's odd. I'm not up to speed on adding cod's for Asian lang's.
There's a couple threads on CB about just that. If you can search and find them, try posting the question there.
Just installed .649 on my 9360 and everything went well thanks to Elite1's nice upgrade guide some posts earlier. :)
Initial reaction...everything 'net' seems to be running a little quicker which is nice. Hoping the battery drain is better than .258 version I had earlier. 1.8%/hr is going to be hard to beat tho. :)
Bbm bug, when u type a person's name in bbm. It frozes and can't open the bbm software. Word substitution cannot create new file and cannot delete.
No problems here Mate. Did you see the post about doing some battery pulls for 1-2 days after installation?. Helps the OS 'settle in'
well i guess i'll have to wait for the .658 cos this leak didnt work properly on my device, even after a clean wipe and reloading the OS, the trackpad was jumping all over the place not functioning well. :(
Hi all,
When I am trying to install the lastet version of OS 7.1 on BB 9360, there is nothing coming up on app loader.. not able to get where to head for?
