I have hooked up my phone to the USB cord but when i click on download now i don't see where it will go onto my phone. Can someone help please? also can i put my downloaded songs onto the phone and make them my ringtones???

open the song list, highlight the song you want Hit the bb button and look for make a ringtone it works for me. I have saliva "click click BOOM" full song now as ringtone

You can download .99 in the OS thread. Some advice though, if your a new BB user be careful upgrading to an unnofficial OS.

if you have questions like these, you may want to wait until an official update comes out....almost no chance of bricking the phone...just some friendly advice

Don't download an unofficial version until you have gotten used to the phone.

I've never downloaded a leaked OS. I don't think it is advisable if you are unsure what you are doing.

ok now what about downloading songs? do i have to put the CD in the computer so that it sees my 9530 as a spot to out songs? i have a lot of songs on my computer that i want to make ringtones but unsure how

not really understanding what your saying here....but download and install blackberry media sync. it will let you import music straight from itunes onto your storm. you can then set them as ringtones from your storm.

btw, the blackberry button is the button with the blackberry logo on it. lol

that helps me because that is what i am trying to do, but where do i download this blackberry media sync? in the box the phone came in, there are two CDs. Do i need to put the CDs in my computer before i start linking or syncing my phone with the computer/ sorry i am prob asking stupid questions that are simple for you guys but like i said i've never had a blackberry

Yeah, you definitely dont want to touch any leaked OS. You barely know how to operate a PC.

Read your discs, you will see one that says "Desktop Manager"

Install that, then plug your USB in

Moviemogul and the others recommending you learn how to use your phone and PC first, have a point. Read the following thread and decide if you really want that leaked OS:

In order to install a leaked OS, you need to know basics of how the main BB systems work, DM, installing programs on your PC, etc

No. There is no question here. Do not upload the leaked OS. Just don't touch it. Learn how to use the device, BlackBerry Device Manager, and the other 93475 things listed around this site. The people here know what they're talking about. Seriously.

Also, learn to use the Search function of this forum. People will start to get annoyed rather fast if questions are asked that have been asked and answered several times before.

Just a friendly warning, honestly.
