Run, don't walk:

Leaked: BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.52 | PocketBerry

OS 5.0 is required.

All the links (these, the ones on Crackberry) are dead.

Mirrors, Mirrors everywhere...

HTTP Error 404: Not Found.

I tried it earlier and just now.

Just be careful loading it, since this BBM v5.0.0.52 is from BBHybrids, it is not the official RIM release, for one thing.

Secondly, BBM 5 requires different version for different OS versions. I know of one user who installed and couldn't restore the backup.

What I did...and it may not work for everyone (Device Model and Operating Systems vary) was download 9700 OS 5.0.0.415 and extract it to my PC. I then copied the following files from the 9700/5.0.0.415 Java directory to my device's current installed OS Java directory:

net_rim_bbgroup_calendar.cod
net_rim_bbgroup_database.cod
net_rim_bbgroup_inbox.cod
net_rim_bbgroup_lists.cod
net_rim_bbgroup_messaging.cod
net_rim_bbgroup_photos.cod
net_rim_qm_api.cod
net_rim_qm_lib_barcode.cod
net_rim_qm_peer.cod
net_rim_qm_peer_lib.cod
net_rim_qm_peer_resource_en.cod

I then opened up the BlackBerry.alx file located in my current OS directory, scrolled to the section "net.rim.java.blackberrymessenger" and changed the version to "5.0.0.52". I then connected my device, ran apploader.exe and removed BlackBerry Messenger. After the device rebooted, I ran apploader.exe and installed BlackBerry Messenger. Upon reboot, I had BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.52 installed and running.

Mostly a maintenance release...just bug fixes.

[nobody7290]

Then I better stay away from it - Bold with beta + crashes + BBM inofficial might not be got for my health.

But, thank you for the information !

[chetzy]

anyone know what the major difference is...

[JSanders]

nothing major. It's a simple maintenance release.

Some are saying the pictures in a chat download faster.

[chetzy]

Thanks, Jsanders don't think worth the risk then in installing

Wow... that would be nice. Of course, I can't get half of them to download at all, so anything would be better.

[JSanders]

Yep, very nice, just installed. I have NEVER been able to get a picture to transfer in a single chat, now it works, with preview, as intended.

Here are the download links I found....
The third one at rowald.net is the one that worked for me.
The process is VERY SLOW (~30 mins) and you must click YES on all pop-up screens..

Yes trying rowald link now. Hopefully, I will have a battery left in the end

[akosnitzky]

This link worked for me http://bit.ly/8ztYQT

[akosnitzky]

The time you send the text in the chat is a very nice feature. I am glad I installed it

[rick chi-town]

My wife and I have actually noticed that the pics seem to be coming thru alot quicker... weird

[akosnitzky]

Good to know. I do know if you have to upgrade if you were using 5.0.0.8. I usually then leave things alone. This was a good build. I also notice the option to end chats
