I'm running the stock 4.7.1.40 OS and just downloaded/installed BBM 5.0.0.33 through App World. Got the nice friendly "Reload Software: 522" error on reboot. Lovely...
Sigh.. might use this as an excuse to try out 5.0.0.230 now...
Am I doing this right? I'm trying to reload the OS and it's taking forever. It's sitting at the second "Connecting to device" and the bar is CRAWLING. Is this normal? When I reload the OS, will I have to reprogram my phone through Verizon?
yes it appears if you are not running 5.0 os then it bricks the phone. The problem with the OS is that too many things do not run on 230 yet - Sprint Navigation, Shazam.
I downloaded the new BB messenger and got error 523. I am running OS 4.7.1.53. I had to do two battery pulls and now my phone is working. So I did not have to reload the OS or anything but it is a shame that just downloading it would not work properly.
Overview
The process of upgrading the BlackBerry� Device Software fails and the BlackBerry smartphone displays a white screen with one of the following errors:
Cause
An application was not indexed correctly and resulted in a failure to properly initialize the applications. The Application Loader feature of the BlackBerry Desktop Software should be used to remove any newly installed applications that may have contributed to this state.
Resolution
Complete the following steps to resolve this issue:
Verify that the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and the current BlackBerry Device Software (for your BlackBerry smartphone) is installed on the computer.
Remove the battery from the BlackBerry smartphone.
Open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
Connect the BlackBerry smartphone to the computer. Do not insert the battery.
Click Application Loader.
Under the Update Software heading, click Start.
Click Options. This allows you to add or remove applications from the BlackBerry smartphone.
Select the applications that you want to install.
Click Next.
Click Next.
Click Finish.
Once the application load process starts, insert the battery into the BlackBerry smartphone.

Negative. At least it worked fine with my VZW Tour with 4.7.1.40.

Does this procedure basically reset the phone to default, or does it restore all your existing apps/settings?
Upgrading has significantly slowed down my Storms boot process. Actually it still boots in about the same time but its unusable for about a minute after it gets to the home screen. I'm running .230 and I definitely didn't have this issue before the upgrade. Anyone else having this issue?

Bricked mine, too (OS 4.7.1.53). "Reload Software 552". In the final stages of loading v5.0.0.230 right now.
I take it I've lost all of my data? I couldn't find a recent backup, except for an App_Loader back-up from October 1st, but I don't see any way of using it for a restore.
