Although BB did not start official distribution of Z-10 in Poland, so there are currently no chances for OTA update, let me just confirm that BB Link allowed today to update the unlocked Z-10, version STL100-2 with removed SIM card, via the Restore Device. Already downloaded and updated. Hope it helps the other Users. Cheers.
this better work.. hahahah... I ll let you know if I hate you or love you when the download finishes... ;) (was feeling brave tonight... :) ).
Thank you for the info! ;)
EDIT: I confirm being able to successfully update my STL-100-2 z10 to 10.0.10.90 using the procedure described. Thanks a lot man!
Hi guys....same here in Malaysia for those who have the same model...same procedure as mentioned....voila....whatsapp too.
All I can say is WOW, WOW and Super WOW!!! I've been trying this method since I bought the phone two weeks ago to no avail. Finally today it worked!!! I'm at 10.0.10.90 and I was also able to download Whatsapp immediately!! I'm in Thailand on an STL100-2 and also have no official launch here as well.
Thanks guys for staying on top of this!!
FYI, just one point of clarification; the function is not Restore Device, it's Reload Device Software. Restore Device will only restore from back-ups or restore to factory default settings ;-)
Lastly, make sure you do a FULL back-up first because you are going to lose ALL of your settings during the upgrade!!
Good news. Will try it as soon as I get home.

Hi, I'm not sure about the procedure (I can't find "Reload Device Software") . Can you share some screenshots ?
TY.
EDIT : OK, got it, but sill no update for me (unlocked STL100-2 in France, SIM card removed :(
Same here. my Link only seems to offer "restore" but not "reload device software". where can i find this option?
Sent from my BlackBerry Z10
In BB Link, you have to select the tab showing your PC (not the Z10), then the Reload Device Software option is in the middle of the options.
I can confirm. It worked for me as well, being "On th road " with various MVNOs SIMs.
Did the update using Link method, even having the SIM in the phone

Wich language/location did you set during the BB Link installation ?
Also works in The Netherlands :) I was so happy finally seeing the official update!
Confirm. Working fine in Russia with SIM-free STL100-2 Z10.
GENIUS!
thanks you soo much :)
Grrr so frustating ! I want the update !
Many thanks Shura! Didn't think to look for this in the Link options for the PC instead of the phone.
I'm registered as UK although I'm in Italy.
I can confirm that the update has worked on sim free STL100-2 in Italy. Many thanks to OP :)

Even when I do "Reload device software" it says that no update is available, and it doesn't reload the software... Am I missing something ?
The language was English and location was set to US, though I am in Europe.

Not sure it will help, but actually, due to heaving issues with Link, I have removed Link from my computer, cleaning all history settings etc, restarted the computer and installed Link again. Then it just worked.

slightly off-topic, but I am just currently visiting Poland, and realized that one business partner has a STL100-1... WOW... and running 10.0.10.82 which he got OTA from Orange network.
Works in Czech Republic!
Cheers,

how can i find ifts available for STL 100-1 ?!
works in Romania for 100-2,work in progress
Doesn't seem to work here in france with a STL100-2
Back up first and then reload software,the first time will show u same version,click ok to restore to factory settings and then u will see the update. By the way,do that without SIM card.
Which provider do you use, mine stopped working after the update. I'm at Vodafone
