imagesecretagent 7545 sent us a link for OS 5.0.0.348 for the Bold 9000. Not sure what is new in this version but from what I can tell it is the latest. They also sent over a link for the 8900 but I am still trying to sort that one out since they accidentally sent over an older version.

Download @ Megaupload
Download @ Rapidshare

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.

Keep the tips coming!

    Rapidshare is telling me I have to be a premium member to download this file. Any chance it can be hosted by another service?

    U guys can d/l the file but only after a certain time once rapidshare frees up some “free user” bandwidth. For me that usually happens after 6pm eastern time. They used to let me d/l during the day but not anymore. After about 6pm I’m able to d/l again. :( how about some megaupload links. 700+ kps…I don’t complain. :)

    It does work for Free Users, you just have to keep trying until you get a slot.

      Hmmm,

      Just downloaded but due to the negative comments so far I´ll just wait awhile before I install. Will be on the road the next 72hrs and need a stable O.S. Running version 5.0.0.314. and except for the disappearing / reappearing act by BlackBerry App World works great….

      Could those who are having problems mention what link was used to download?
      RapidShare or MegaUpload? I downloaded mine from MegaUpload as RapidShare was giving problems.

    How bout the reboot fix where you delete the BBThumbs.dat files in your SD card and on board memory? That fixed the problem for .314 for me

    I had this give me the reboot cycle also on my Bold 9000. for AT&T. I did a clean wipe prior to the install. Pretty nasty reboot cycle after the install.

    I went back to .314

    I installed yesterday around 4:30pm – no problems. Took longer to reboot the first time but no rebooting like everyone is talking about. I’m with Rogers and my phone is unlocked.

    ATT Bold – got caught in the infinite reboot. Just use BBSAK, while it is booting back up, connect to it, hit wipe device, then uninstall the 348 from your add/remove programs, when it comes back up, in BBSAK click Load OS and assuming you still have the 314 or whatever installed, it will load that OS. Then perform a restore from the backup you created right before you hosed your device. Too bad for ATT :(

    I found a torrent to the firmware file. You can get it here:

    Bold 9000 5.0.0.348 Torrent

    If folks use this and seed for a bit, it should make distribution of the firmware a little more efficient than rapidshare.
