The latest BlackBerry firmware leaks for the Bold 9000 and the Curve 8900 has been spotted over at bbleaks.com. There is also one for the 8520 and all three versions of 5.0.0.411 is available on BlackBerry Cool..

I installed 5.0.0.411 on my Bold 9000, and the single thing that impressed me most, was the significant reduction in the boot time. I hate waiting for my BB to reboot, as I am sure most other people with BlackBerrys do, hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

Here are a couple of torrents of the the operating systems, hopefully helping to distribute them more efficiently.

Blackberry Bold 9000 OS 5.0.0.348 does not work with AT&T

December 3, 2009 By clementsm 2 Comments

Recently 5.0.0.348 for the BlackBerry Bold 9000 was leaked. I installed this on my BlackBerry and all was well, until I traveled to the US and put my AT&T SIM card into the device. It then gets into a reboot cycle the minute a network connection is established. I am speculating that something in the AT&T service books is causing the device to reboot. Potentially their service books are not updated to work with this version of OS5 on the Bold.

Update: This version (5.0.0.348) has been reported by AT&T users to cause a reboot-loop. Check this post BlackBerry Bold 9000 OS 5.0.0.348 Does Not Work with AT&T. Either way, you probably want to take care using this if you are using AT&T in the USA on a Bold 9000
