BlackBerry pictures QL 09718115630 Leaked: BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 For Many Devices!

* New BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 ZIP And OTA Download Links! *

* UPDATE Follow @BlackBerryRocks on Twitter for updates or send me a tweet for help. If you send me an email for help please include your BlackBerry model and OS version.

It has come to my attention that the Curve 8300 series OTA link may work for the Pearl 8100 and 8800 series. Install at your own risk. MAKE BACKUPS! *

BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 was first revealed to use about a month ago and then again yesterday with some new features. It looks like the guys over at BBOS were lucky enough to get their hands on BBM 5.0 for a few BlackBerry devices and were nice enough to share it with everyone.

Info: Features And Screenshots Of The Leaked BlackBerry Messenger 5.0

Links updated as of 7/19/09 at 10:55PM EST.

A few people have been reporting issues about losing contacts. This is why I have the REMEMBER reminder below. It is VERY important that you make a backup of all your data before doing any kind up installation where beta software is involved.

If you are having problems with BBM 5.0:

  1. Do a battery pull (reset)
  2. Try re-downloading BBM 5.0
  3. If all else fails, reinstall your original BBM by connecting your BlackBerry to your PC and running the Application Loader in BlackBerry Desktop Manager. Make sure your current OS is installed on your PC. You can find an OS for your BlackBerry in the Mini Directory.

REMEMBER: Install at your own risk. Always make backups before making major changes/upgrades/downgrades to your BlackBerry.

  • ShaneeR
    Tried to download 5.0 on my bold and it totally deleted my blackberry messenger!!! There is no icon or old messages in the messages folder, like it never existed. I want 5.0, but I really just want my BBM back period. Please help!!!
  • i have a bold and anything i do to download this bbm 5.0 doesnt work it just says 907 unable to import ZIP files
  • I successfully installed it OTA on my Storm (amazing) but am now trying to install it on my girlfriend's 8330 (4.5.0.160) using techniques described in http://blackberryrocks.com/how-to-install-appli... (she does not have a data plan) and am getting the same "907 invalid COD Unable to import ZIP file" error.

    I'm on a mac so Desktop Manager is not an alternative here... wondering if anyone can point out a little trick that might get it to work? I'm downloading the .jad file and all .cod files listed in the .jad file and then putting them on her memory card in the same directory and launching the .jad file. The installation begins (but doesn't warn me that it's replacing any modules as it did on my Storm) and gets about 3/4 of the way through and then fails.

    Any help would be appreciated... at this point I'm contemplating a virtual machine just for the sake of BlackBerry Messenger...
  • sure does work with my 8110 thanks Mauricio!
  • WORKS AMAZING NO CLITCHES 5 DAYS NOW.
  • rishadabdulrahiman

    Thanks!
  • jazmyn
    Please be careful installing things and not backing up your phone. I just tried installing BBM 5.0 on my Bold and everything has deleted and the BBM didnt even install. Now I am stuck with a complete blanked out phone
  • so like... can i get an OTA link for my 8900 that works for that new BBM????
    anyone????
  • nick32
    Can anyone confirm an OTA that works for 8900? The new updated links still don't work. Either they don't load or the download fails halfway through.
  • If the download is failing that means a lot of people are trying to download it at the same time. Keep trying with the last few OTA links I just added and you might get through :).

    Having WiFi enabled helps too.
  • i finally got it to work... but wasnt there supposed to be SMS threading on there? or did i hear incorrectly?
  • Yes it was supposed to have it. Maybe it will be in a later build.
  • nick32
    for the 8900, which version should it be? Depending on which 8900 link i go to, it's either 5.0 or 5.0.8 what's the difference?
  • becklyn
    So the pearl doesnt get the love on the new messenger?

    :(
  • its okay cuz neither does the curve 8900.. UGH
  • deeptali
    hey its 24 hrs i am looking a coorect link can u help me?
    I have bold with os 5.0.0.100 all the links says its a zip file.
  • This would be the OTA link you use: http://bit.ly/VwmzN

    Make sure you read and understand everything in the post before installing it.
  • deeptali
    Sorry for the trouble but now it says its forbidden Error 403.
  • No trouble at all :).

    That means the site where this OTA download was being hosted is currently offline.

    Unfortunately you'll have to wait for them to come back online before trying to download it again.
  • deeptali
    Thanks. Oh ok so I save this link and try after somre time rt? I understand if u don’t reply. But I have become a BB -OS freak.

    Thanks again my friend for your prompt replies.
  • I always try to reply if I can help :).

    The site probably won't be back online today. If it does come on I'll let you know so you can try again.
  • deeptali
    Hi. Sorry but still no luck about bbm d on bold os 5.0.0.100
  • deeptali
    Wow man that's great. Ok I will wait. But believe me I see how fast u r replying and also to so many people. Thanks again.
  • troy22
    Lost my BBM on 8330 for VZW. Tried reloading the new version 5 times and still getting no love. My app list on the computer and device say it is on there but it's nowhere to be found. Even tried going through SMS, options, instant message, and it's gone now.
  • beri
    ok, so after some intense search, i finally got the bbm 5.0 working on my 8830 WE!!! can we say love it?!? yes!!! thanks alot!
  • elliottdonnelly
    what version did you download to get bbm to work on the 8830?
  • beri
    if you are running a 4.5 OS just try loading these files to get the BBM 5.0
    http://www.berryosfiles.com/downloads/BBM_4.5.0...
    instructuions are in the post above on how to install, if this dosent work there is another way just let me know.......
  • noluck
    Tried this with 8830 and get not compatible error...what's the other way?
  • noluck
    actually got it to work...hopefully...with DM 4.6
  • Great! Enjoy it :) it's pretty cool.
  • beri
    well i was about to post the other alternative until i came across this....
    http://blackberryrocks.com/2009/07/17/leaked-bl...
    A link has been added for the 8800 SERIES! enjoy

    Thanks Mauricio
  • Thanks for helping out :).
  • Tricia
    ok...So is the ota for the 8900 working or not?? I tried to download and got the same errors as everyone and the disappearance of my BBM and the app is no compatible with my phone when i use desktop manager. I am livid right now, since i didnt do a backup since June...so I feel its only fair to communicate with everyone about this download that seems to be jacking up people 8900.
  • jammie
    My 8900 downloaded with no problem... it kept asking me if i wanted to replace something that was already there and i just hit yes and mine worked absolutely with no problem....
  • beri
    after you download the files, copy the first COD, and your language COD files from your subfolder to the main folder, then use DM to load the BBM to your device
  • worshipfulone
    Can you expound a little bit on where you copy the COD files? I just don't want to do it incorrectly. THANK YOU!
  • beri
    Ok, after you extract the files from the .rar archive, you should have a folder with a '.alx' file in the folder along with a subfolder which is labeled 'For 4.x.x or 5.x.x' you now open that folder and locate only two files, the largest '.cod' file which is labeled 'net_rim_bb_qm_peer' along with your language '.cod' file, mine being english would be 'net_rim_bb_qm_peer_resource_en' you will know your language by the two or three last letters. After locating these files, you copy them and paste them in the file directory with the '.alx' file labeled 'BlackBerryMessenger' then you open Desktop Manager and connect your bb, go to Application Loader, then Add/Remove Applications and browse for the folder with the 'BlackBerryMessenger' '.alx' file and after a successful reboot, you have your BBM 5.0 and thats the most THOROUGH explanation i can give, hope it helps :^) enjoy!!
  • beri
    What is your device model and OS version?

    For the curve 8900 you will need to upgrade to a leaked 5.0 version OS inorder for the BBM 5.0 to work
  • Candy
    it really didn't work for me, i did everything you said and it keeps saying it is not compatible with my device!
  • beri
    the instructions should be the same for all device models, but i believe for it to work correctly on the curve 8900 you must upgrade to a leaked 5.0 OS version or else you will have problems
  • nick32
    It popped up to download, but said "download failed".

    BERI.....how come your step by step wouldn't work for the 8900?
  • beri
    try this OTA link for the curve 8900 http://www.prp2.com/bb/Tour/BBM5/BBM5.jad
    if not, then you will have to upgrade your current OS, to possibly the leaked 5.0 which you can find here on BlackBerryRocks
  • nick32
    Followed your instructions EXACTLY on my 8900 and it still says that the application is not compatible. And the OTA links still aren't working. Please help! Thanks
  • Working on updating the links as we speak :).
  • vanessastyles310
    i tried doing the ota download via my bold as well as zip on my computer. when i tried it on my computer it said my phone was not compatible and when i try the ota download on my phone i get an http error...can someone please help !! thanks !
  • misscloud
    HELP...i join with the troupe that's the BBM went AWOL :(
  • What do you mean by AWOL? Is it working or did it disappear?
  • misscloud
    when i download, it's halfway and then close its self. then the BBM icon is dissapear. no matter what i did, i cant make the icon back. i just got ur email said that the minimum requirement is V. 4.5.0.181, but when i download, i only see v.4.5 and above...mine is v.4.5.0.81 and i didn't know until everything is too late. can't use BBM for 24 hours even tho i try to download the older BBM version,can see on the application, but icon is missing. then i bring to the telcom provider and they put the BBM back, the older version of course, not the BBM 5.0
