Update: It looks like this might actually be a RIM sourced release so I might have been a bit hasty with the Hybrid labeling. On the other hand there are some indications pointing towards it incorporating files from a 9500 build of .113 such as an older radio file. Not sure if that makes a difference though…
With that said our buddy the Fantom sent me a few tidbits. There is a new OS online for the 9530 dubbed OS 4.7.0.113 making its rounds online.
You can pick it up at this link @ Filefront
On a side note it looks like Verizon will be releasing an official upgrade for the 9530 Storm in the next week. Supposedly a new build for the 8900 Curve & Bold are also in the works for the near future.
Let us know what you find in the new OS versions in the comments below. Keep the tips coming!
NOTE: Do not install this software if you do not know what you are doing. It may make your BlackBerry FUBAR or just plain angry.

That was not rude or anything…if you were to research at all or actually look at this build you would notice it contains an older radio file and various files from the 9500 .113 build…signed by rim but still a hybrid by definition keep up the good work Ronen

It may or may not be a hybrid but it’s not in the same league as the other leaks. MMS is broken again. This is a skipper.

I just love how people are able to ignore broken features. MMS is broken but the accelerometer is faster and there is less hour glassing so it’s the best build yet . . . good grief!

I have .114. Is it considering downgrade if I try to load this version and have to go thru downgrade procedure?

We first day the new text edit thing as linked to a then unreleased .113. So now a hybrid 113 comes out?
I’m normally pretty brave when it comes to upgrading this Storm, but I stop short of hybrid’s. Whose desperate idea was creating these hybrid’s anyway? Seems like just a recent trend. Okay if it is limited to Storm, but if these hybrid’s start popping up for other devices too I think its bad for the BlackBerry community.

Sith_Apprentice on Crackberry started this whole thing and it just took off from there. The problem is that they are mixing components together which were never meant to be used together and could have unseen consequences. I am avoiding them as well.
