# Install instruction to load any carrier 9630 OS on your BB:

Reason: Change font color
So this will only work for Bluegrass and Appalachian carriers?

thanks Doha...
installed it with no probs (vendor file was not there to begin with). I really dont see any noticeable changes from this version to .153 but phone does seem a bit snappier.
I am curious to find out what differences there are. Don't they come with release notes?
Also, just a thought, how come some updates are put out by certain companies, but not other ones? Is it by choice or some kind of contract thing? Just asking.

Each carrier approves the OS releases independently. RIM creates the builds and the carriers get to test and decide which one they want to have on their devices. Some carriers are less picky than others about what they will accept in terms of remaining bugs and so forth.
i cant load it to my tour... i deleted the vendor file and use the app loader but it wont load... it will start then show all my 3rd party apps and then it says no additional action required...im running 4.7.1.57. maybe its my new windows 7... because i just installed in on my laptop and i couldn't backup my 3rd party apps... might try it later on my desktop... anyone got similar problems?
