Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

The downloads don't seem to be working. The person who was hosting them is working on it I think. None of those are my own downloads.

WHERE DO I DOWNLOAD?

allison · 4 months ago

having trouble loading the new BBM onto my phone.

when i'm using desktop manager and the application loader, i click on the .alx file and for some reason, i get a pop-up that says "No additional applications designed for your phone were found"

can anyone help me with this?

i have a curve 8310

Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

Try re-installing your device's operating system onto your computer.

When you plug it in it might ask you to update your OS, don't update it just hit cancel and then go into the application loader again.

Let me know if that works.

Eric · 4 months ago

everytime i try to download it, half way through, i get a download failed, error 907 invalid COD unable to import zip file. i have a curve 8900 for att. pleaseeeee help!!!!!

Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

Yeah the server where it's being hosted seems to be overloading. The world jumped on this one lol.

Name · 4 months ago

it seems that the sms feature is not working on my 8900, what should i do?

Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

Do you mean sending a regular text message stopped working after you installed bbm 5.0?

pachanga · 4 months ago

OTA link for curve 8300 series not working. Been trying for over an hour, keeps failing on download.

Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

Yeah the server it's on seems to be overloading. A lot of people are trying to download it.

misscloud · 4 months ago

HELP...i join with the troupe that's the BBM went AWOL :(

Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

What do you mean by AWOL? Is it working or did it disappear?

misscloud · 4 months ago

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

vanessastyles310 · 4 months ago

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 !

Tricia · 4 months ago

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.

beri · 4 months ago

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 · 4 months ago

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 · 4 months ago

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!!

nick32 · 4 months ago

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

Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

Working on updating the links as we speak :).

beri · 4 months ago

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 · 4 months ago

It popped up to download, but said "download failed".

BERI.....how come your step by step wouldn't work for the 8900?

beri · 4 months ago

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

Candy · 4 months ago

it really didn't work for me, i did everything you said and it keeps saying it is not compatible with my device!

beri · 4 months ago

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

jammie · 4 months ago

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 · 4 months ago

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 · 4 months ago

what version did you download to get bbm to work on the 8830?

beri · 4 months ago

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 · 4 months ago

Tried this with 8830 and get not compatible error...what's the other way?

beri · 4 months ago

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

Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

Thanks for helping out :).

noluck · 4 months ago

actually got it to work...hopefully...with DM 4.6

Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

Great! Enjoy it :) it's pretty cool.

troy22 · 4 months ago

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.

deeptali · 4 months ago

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.

Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

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 · 4 months ago

Sorry for the trouble but now it says its forbidden Error 403.

Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

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 · 4 months ago

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.

Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

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 · 4 months ago

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.

deeptali · 4 months ago

Hi. Sorry but still no luck about bbm d on bold os 5.0.0.100

becklyn · 4 months ago

So the pearl doesnt get the love on the new messenger?

:(

Mary Ippolito · 4 months ago

its okay cuz neither does the curve 8900.. UGH

Mary Ippolito · 4 months ago

so like... can i get an OTA link for my 8900 that works for that new BBM????
anyone????

nick32 · 4 months ago

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.

Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

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.

nick32 · 4 months ago

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?

Mary Ippolito · 4 months ago

i finally got it to work... but wasnt there supposed to be SMS threading on there? or did i hear incorrectly?

Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago

Yes it was supposed to have it. Maybe it will be in a later build.

jazmyn · 4 months ago

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

Ste7enm · 4 months ago

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...

ShaneeR · 4 months ago
