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

1. Download desired OS to your PC
2. Install/run OS to PC
3. Delete vendor.xml file. It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Connect the BB to Desktop Manager and it should prompt the upgrade. If not click Loader.exe and that should initialize it.
5. Do not unplug your BB during the process. It will take around 30-60 minutes to complete the upgrade

Any notable changes/improvements? I just updated to .57, so I don't know if I'm willing to jump to this so quickly.

Sorry I'm running 5.0 :rolleyes:

nothing in the 4.7 OS compares to the 5.0 os

+1, Come on Blackberry Let's get the 5.0 on Tour (sprint) already!

Can Verizon members download this as well?

EDIT: It starred out the "H" word? Lame.

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 upgraded and didn't notice any difference from .57 , everything went smoothly with loader.

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.

If anyone notices any fixes/changes/improvements, please post!

I'll download when I get chance�

Thanks again dohasoul!

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?

@ successful downloaders: from which carrier's link did you download?

I know they should all be the same, but still curious!

I'm up and running on my VZW Tour after downloading from Appalachian Wireless. Will report back on changes(if any) once I've played with it more.

in rapid, please?

How can we use this on Mac DM?

You can't unless your carrier has officially released it...

Can anyone confirm this update corrects the huge font issue?

I do... same exact problem... running Sprint .57 and no matter what I've tried, I can't get this .61 to install on my Tour :(.
