Leaked: OS 5.0.0.314 for Bold 9000 and Curve 8900

The guys over at BerryReview got a hot tip and landed OS 5.0.0.314 for both the Bold 9000 and Curve 8900. If you've been hanging on to a buggy 5.0 build, now is your chance to upgrade. No word of any major finding or fixes for these, so be sure to leave a comment and let us know what you find out.

*OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you're comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. If you require support, you will find it in our CrackBerry forums via our extremely knowledgeable community base - do not contact your carrier or RIM for Beta OS technical support (their first course of action will be to advise you to downgrade to a supported OS). Follow the links below for more information and instructions. *

Beat you! And my links work!

The rapidshare link for the 8900 file isn't working.....Can someone PLEASE upload the 8900 file again, and post a link. Thanks!!

D/L ing now. Anyone have any improvements to report?

MEGAUPLOAD -- For 8900

got the link from crackberry

Installed without any problems! Didn't have to reload BBM 5.0, and didn't have to reconfigure anything. Only thing that I noticed is a new SMS & MMS Icon and I have an extra G-Mail icon (2 for the same mail account).

NOTE: Clicking into the contact folder now allows the option to back up your contacts wirelessly (in my case with T-Mobile). Terms said it was a free service and can be managed online by logging into your T-Mobile account. Tried it and it is apparently active and synced my contacts without a hitch. Shortly thereafter, got a confirmation message from TMO confirming the process was completed sucessfully!

*** Merged ***

This what i found so far
threaded sms icon color has changed to some goldish color
BES inbox comes seperated from the message inbox now
You the option of wish accounts you want to show up in the main message inbox.
The tmobile address book backup option now works
The home screen preference option menu has changed. It seems more consolidated.
There are several new icons or place holder for pictures and folders
Voice dialing works

I keep getting stuck on the status meter on the reboot. Tried wiping and got the same issue. Guess I'm going back a version.

UPDATE: I got it loaded up. Just wish I had backed up my apps.

anyone know if there is still the random reboots? i tried 238 and could only use the phone if the radio was turned off

Did those of you with .190 or .238 do a wipe before installing or did you go straight to the upgrade?

Excellent upgrade.

OS 5.0.0.314 is the best one for me as of now.

Running well with all my 3rd party apps and even Gmail apps.

Good job RIM.

I upgraded after a wipe from 5.0.0.238, went without a problem.
However im having a problem with my wallpaper, it seems to work on the front page, but then when i hit the blackberry key to expand the menus, it uses either a white background or the stock background. have pulled battery several times, tried different themes, and different pictures, but i still can't get the same picture to stay as the background on both menus.. anyone catch this yet?

I hope the wifi issue is fixed.

device constantly rebooting over and over. anyone else having this issue? i do not have 3g coverage where im at only EDGE. any thoughts on this?

Mr. Knight, I'm having the same problem with the theme. Front page (home) seems to be fine.....other pages are white or black...lost all ring tones-- re-sent service books and they returned. Everything else seems to be working quite well.....at least for now.

Did a wipe (using BBSAK 1.6) from 5.0.0.238 on the Bold. Following apps installed, OTA:

GoogleSync
Google Maps
Facebook (1.7)
BBM (5.0)
Quickpull Free (doesnt work correctly. Devs suggest a 5.0.0.250+ build)
BerryWeather
Smrtguard

All apart from QP are working correctly. So far not had any of the random resets / dropped calls that plagued .238 either. Only time will tell. It does feel snappier than .238 as well.

No reboots for me. OS is pretty stable. Can't save Enhanced Audio settings in the phone options though.

Media player bug is fixed.

BT now works good for me. Can now pair both phone and audio to my Pioneer deck.

Wirelessly posted

Phone seems to reboot constantly unless the radio is off or I am in 3G coverage.

Gmail application works on this one. One thing I've noticed on all the 5.0 releases is the video recording has slight pauses every couple seconds. And it saves that way as well. Not a huge deal, they're watchable with little annoyance.

Buttons, status bars, selections, check boxes are prettier. They got rid of the transparency in the menus and dialog boxes. But it's nice. Oh, and the scrolling time selector in the clock is prettier too.

Yes,

Also, you can now input the alarm time instead of scrolling to the desired digit.

Loving .314. Official 5.0 should be soon.

Did a wipe with BBSAK before installing and it worked like a charm. No wifi issue like I had with 238.. Loving it so far!

Anyone get 2 browser icons? Mine shows up twice..

Some pretty noticeable changes with this release eh?

If you search with the search function for the name of a street in the address book, does the search now returns a correct result with this OS ?
(dont open the address book and search, open the search in the main menu, and check the address book, then search)

Answering my Question:
The bug is still present, no search result are returned if you search for a street or a city

File copy from remote server to device works, but still does not work in the other direction.

some changes regarding the style of the theme, but, this is no candidate for a release.

Been running this for 24 hours now and it's stunning!

anyone try todomatrix on this? i know they don't support OS5 as yet but here's hoping it works on this build. my upgrade to OS5 has been thwarted by the inability to run todomatrix on OS5.
thanks

I'm having no problems running IdeaMatrix with this OS.

Viigo scrolling is fixed in this. Looks like they worked on some sort of backwards compatibility?

Opera Mini 4.2 won't load. No other problems. Any fixes for that?

Get the more recent OM 5 version.

Opera Mini | The most popular mobile phone browser in the world

Downloading now ... hopefully can get it installed before I have to leave for this baby shower. Gotta love my priorities, install a leaked OS on my BlackBerry THEN go to my friend's baby shower.

This seems to have the fastest browser I've used. It was pretty noticeable to me at least.

i dont understand how to install it can someone plz help?

i tried using the same method as the real os from rim but it just installed the same thing over again not the leaked one.... so then i tried desktop manager and it finds the os but then it says no sftware update is required for your device....

can someone help plz?

1. Download the file from the links provided
2. Double click on the file for Install
3. Go into the directory and remove the vendor file
4. Run loader.exe

I would try maybe removing your old OS, and then do the above process.

For this OS I wiped the system with BBSAK and then ran the process above and it worked without any issues.

I've noticed BBM is much quicker than when I was running 303.

I don't know if this was an issue before, but when I was on google maps, I received a phone call and the call quality was somewhat poor. Anyone notice the same thing?

I also found that Today preview themes now work with multiple calendars.. I now get Facebook events/birthdays etc in my preview.

what does wiping the system do and how do u do it and wats BSAK
