Morning, does anyone know where I can get my firmware upgraded on my bb storm 9530. It's unlocked and using 4.7.1.. and I would like to get 5.0........ on it. I tried with the desktop manager but it said subscription required. What does that mean? I"m prepaid

thanks,
 
I did that and got up to 4.7.1.. But I wasn't allowed to get the 5.0........ maybe it's because my account is prepaid. They want everyone to have a plan. I assume the software read my sim card and said no way jose. I might try it again this weekend
 
You might try checking crackberry.com for OS leaks. You'll find installation instructions there as well. I think the latest for storm is into the 5.0.xxx series.
 
thanks, so far. I don't want to do it myself and fuck up the phone. I guess I can wait til it's not the latest and get it then. That's what I did with the 4.7.1...... just one step below the latest and it was free.
 
Did you delete the vender file before you did the update? Also, it would be wise to download and install BBSAK (Blackberry Swiss Army Knife). Makes the backup/software update process much easier.
 
I'm going to take the leap today. Got some good instructions from someone I was emailling about it. Revolver the key is deleting the vendor file. I have bbsak but as I said, didn't want to fuck up the phone during the process.

Thanks,
