BlackBerry OS 6 on BlackBerry BOLD 9650 walkthrough

Upgraded my Blackberry Bold 9700 with the brand new OS6 this morning. Smoother menus, faster loading applications, less issues!

You will need to download OS6 (updated link), and BBSAK 1.7.

Works on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Desktop
Upgraded from OS5 this morning.

Main Tips: MAKE SURE BLACKBERRY DESKTOP MANAGER IS UPDATED TO LATEST VERSION FROM BLACKBERRY WEBSITE.

FOR BBSAK: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A VERSION THAT WORKS ON YOUR WINDOWS. IT MAY NOT BE 1.7, it MAY BE THE LATEST ONE (1.8.5) THAT WORKS. ON MY WINDOWS 7 COMPUTER 1.7 WORKS. 1.8.5 DID NOT WORK BECAUSE WHEN I CLICKED "LOAD OS" Button IT GAVE AN ERROR. SO I UNINSTALLED 1.8.5 AND LOCATED 1.7.

There is pretty much no way you can brick your blackberry if you are just using these programs unless you disconnect your blackberry half way through or something!

Upgrade your Blackberry Bold 9700 by following the links:

1. Connect your Blackberry to Blackberry Desktop Manager (DM) and Backup everything.
2. EXIT out of DM. Make sure no other Blackberry Process is running in Windows Task Manager.
2a: Go to your computer, delete the vendor.xml file found at this location on most Windows PC machines: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader . This is so that DM will recognise the update later.
3. Visit http://www.mediafire.com/?zqzndyyijmt and download BBSAK 1.7 Installer. Install application.
4. Download OS 6 application from:

http://www.zshare.net/download/822542... - BOLD 9700 OS 6

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XMRU46WR - Pearl 3G OS 6

http://hotfile.com/dl/80049736/e9558d... - Curve 3G 9300 OS 6
or
(if files removed, search for the exe only then im sure they will be updated soon somewhere...trnts sites)
5. Once downloaded, Install 0S6 exe on your computer. (exe file)
6. Run BBSAK 1.7 9 or whichever version works on your computer (C:\Program Files\BBSAK) or C:\Program Files (x86)\BBSAK depending on what Windows you are using. (MAKE SURE BLACKBERRY DM IS NOT LOADED OR RUNNING)
7. Click Load OS (the BBSAK Program will automatically scan your computer for installed OS's)
8. Click next, next.
9. BBSAK will begin installing OS 6 and will reboot your Blackberry after going through a number of steps.
10. Close BBSAK completely after Blackberry has re-booted itself.
11. Load DM and backup everything as normal. (If you removed the XML file in Step 2a, your compter will recognise the Blackberry as normal)

Notes:
- Blackberry Desktop Manager may allow you to install OS 6 after you installed the OS exe file. If so, try it in there as normal. If not, then try the steps above.
- Always backup your Blackberry before updating anything.
- Make sure you run through all the steps above ensuring you have downloaded the software you need FIRST!
- BBSAK 1.8.5 did NOT work on my Windows 7 Computer. (http://www.bbsak.org/)
- BBAK is a swiss army knife software which does all the things that DM does but in a simple interface.
- Whatsapp! does not seem to download from their site for some reason, doesn't recognize the OS, if someone gets it to work comment below.
- If you do not like the OS, you can always downgrade by going to DM, Click Device, Update Device, and then View other versions. Downgrade as normal.
