This is second post. I put first one in wrong place sorry..

I have storm with 4.7.148 installed. I have one of the storms that can not upgrade to 5.00.328 because when the screen dims on time it does not come back up. Seems to be a problem for how ever many storms I not sure. Its bberry unnerving and I have tried every which way to get it to work. Long and short of it is I was looking for a leaked 500.230 and found it. Its in rar for download. I have un_uzipped it but have no kind of exe. file or app loader. I am new to this but have put my BB back to original saved backup several times now. I have lots of reasons for wanting to see what happens with 230, but dont know how to install. I have read lots of install instructions, i.e back up, wipe if need be vendors list delete all that and ok with it. I just dont understand what to do with all the unziped cod's and other files or how to install. Any help would be great..
Thanks..

I don't understand your post. Unreadable.
And you've posted it in several threads and it is still unreadable.

Try breaking it into a few sections. Full sentences.

What are you trying to do?
What hasn't worked?

lol take it easy NJBlackBerry, i reread my post and see i was a little excited and gave to much info. Like I want the whole world to know that my BB storm cant be upgraded to 5.0.328 because the screen goes out and don't come back up. But you are right no need to share that.

All I want to know is how to load (if it can be done) the OS leaked 5.0.230 i found in .rar format. I unzipped it and have cod files and others but no apploader or exe file. So being new I was wondering what to do? Now please tell me that not to hard to understand .

BTW: NJBlackBerry, you said I posted in several threads this question, and you are in error. I posted in one other place by accident and stated so in my original post, so please if you going to be insulting lest be accurate.. No bad feeling though, I just looking for anwsers.. Thanks for anyone who MIGHT be able to understand my question..

I'm not sure I would trust a RAR version of the Handheld OS as that is not how RIM distributes it.

You load the OS using Desktop manager (application loader) or LOADER.EXE which can be found in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader

Remember to delete VENDOR.XML which is in that directory.
