We attained access to OS 5.0.0.230 available for the Blackberry Curve 8330. We did not expect this 4,5 OS device to received any stable betas until 5.0 OS had been officially released for the 4.6+ devices.
This is a leaked beta variant of the 5.0 OS. Your phone may not function properly as a result. Please note that this is only compatible for the Blackberry 8330 and you may have to do the following “if present” as part of the process.
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove after installing and remove RIM Internal Tool if applicable.
Please proceed at your own risk.

[...] 06:59 PM Leaked OS 5.0.0.230 For BB Curve 8330 | BlackBerry Boards News Leaked: OS 5.0.0.230 for the BlackBerry Curve 8330!! | CrackBerry.com —— Twitter: [...]
I have uploaded the OS 5.0.0.230 on my 8330. I see a huge difference from the previous OS. Unfortunately, some of my apps are not compatible with it. The video playback is where you will see a plus. Instead of scanning in 5-minute intervals, you have better control of scanning a few seconds. There is also a analog display with day and date when you plug it in a charger. So far, I have not had any problems with the updated operating system. I think this is a keeper.
PLEASE HELP!!
So, here I am, happily updating, when the plug comes loose from my Curve. Of course, the entire installation failed and my Curve is now dead. Based on some other advice around Crackberry, I manage to wipe it and install the backup file that was saved during the installation. (I lost all of my 3rd party apps, but I have all of my contacts, etc.) But now, every time I try to install, I get an error message. The first one is, “To enjoy the latest functionality from the selected Blackberry Device Software Upgrade, You’ll need an active Blackberry service subscription. visit http://www.blackberry.com/sevice to learn more about blackberry services.” Lo and behold, the vendor.xml file has somehow reappeared. So I delete it, try reinstalling 5.0 again, and then I get, “No software update is required for your device.” 5.0 is listed in DM under the application loader – it just won’t LOAD!
I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the OS to my computer. I’ve made sure I’ve removed previous versions under “Add/Remove Programs.” I’ve tried both DM and the loader.exe file.
I didn’t have any of these issues earlier when I tried to upgrade to 5.0 before the plug came out – everything ran smoothly. I’ve been struggling with this for over 2 hours. Please, please, PLEASE help!
