First off, welcome to CrackBerry!
Please update your profile to include device, carrier, and location. Makes it easier for others to help you.
If you're ever noting your OS version, please provide the entire OS version number. There are a dozen (or more?) different 10.2 builds out there, for example.
If you're into this sort of thing, I'd highly recommend upgrading your OS to the leaked 10.2.1.1925. See thread in the BB10 Leaked/Beta OS Forum. Sticky thread at top of that forum will outline the relatively simple process. (Simple but can be slightly time-consuming while you wait for steps to complete.)
With 10.2.1.1055 and up, you can directly load Android apk files. No need to convert to bar files, worry about whether your Runtime is locked or unlocked, mess with debug tokens, or anything else.
Google Play store doesn't work directly, but a couple other Android app stores do. Just check out or new forum on this: Android Apps (APK Files) - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com
If you do want to keep to sideloading, hopefully someone else with more experience doing so can lend a hand.
I didnt expect such a warm welcome, thanks for that really sweet of you.
Device : Z10
unlocked probably carrier wont make sense.
I recently updated OS to 10.2.0.429
I am based out of india.
I dont understand updates to OS in india have still not been available any particular reason.
Just out of love for BB i bought this phone.
As elite mentioned, installing 10.2.1.1925 OS leak definitely improved your 10.2.0 OS experience by leaps and bounds.
You could choose to enjoy your current OS for the time being until you get bored and wanted to do the leak. But please be forewarned, you'll need to do quite a few extra steps to get android apps running good on that build.
Or
You can just straight away download the leak OS and enjoy lots of features especially loading a direct android apps.
And the only 5minutes sideload you have to do is to download SNAP app (bar file) onto your device and register your play store id (if you have one) to start downloading direct apk files.
Anyways, please do a thorough search for steps to install leak OS, tips and tricks and also other discussions to fully enjoy your device.
