~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~BlackBerry OS ARCHIVE~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Congratulations! If you can read this, then you shouldn't have any worries with this repository. Except in the case that you can read this and you *do*, in which case, notify me. SO WHAT IS IT? -------------- A bunch of OS autoloaders for BlackBerry 10/PlayBook/Android devices. WHAT'S AN AUTOLOADER? --------------------- A big file that contains a factory image for a given BlackBerry 10/PlayBook/Android OS release. Since it's a factory image, loading it onto your phone will wipe it. Caveat user. HOW DO I LOAD THIS? ------------------- I must stress this greatly; this *will* delete your stuff. Back up everything important beforehand (don't ask me how), then download one of the files to your PC. Once the file is done, extract it (with 7-Zip, preferably). BLACKBERRY 10/PLAYBOOK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You should see a big .exe file. Plug your BlackBerry into your PC, then run the .exe file. It should load the OS to your phone, then you're on your way. ANDROID ~~~~~~~ You should see a flashall.bat/sh file. Plug your BlackBerry into your PC, then run the .bat/sh file. It should load the OS to your phone, then you're on your way. WHAT IF LOADING IS BLOCKED? --------------------------- You may have run into the OS blocklist on-device. Sometimes, BlackBerry prevents loading older OS releases, for security reasons. There's no way around it. WILL IT WORK ON MAC/LINUX? -------------------------- BB10/PlayBook autoloaders are Windows only. Android autoloaders are for all platforms. WHICH FILE DO I USE? -------------------- The .7z/zip file. For your device, consult this table: Device Variant Loader Type ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PlayBook WiFi PlayBook_.7z PlayBook LTE/HSPA+ PlayBook__R.7z Z10 STL100-1 Z10__STL100-1.7z Z10 STL100-2/3 Z10__STL100-2-3.7z Z10 STL100-4 Z10__STL100-4 or 2-3.7z P9982 (all) Z10__STL100-2-3.7z Q10 (all) Q10__SQN100-1-2-3-4-5.7z Q5 (all) Q10__SQN100-1-2-3-4-5.7z P9983 (all) Q10__SQN100-1-2-3-4-5.7z Z30 (all) Z30__STA100-1-2-3-4-5-6.7z Leap (all) Z30__STA100-1-2-3-4-5-6.7z Classic (all) Z30__STA100-1-2-3-4-5-6.7z Z3 (all) Z3__STJ100-1-2.7z Passport (all) Passport__SQW100-1-2-3-4.7z Priv AT&T bbry_qc8992_autoloader_user-na-att-.zip Priv T-Mobile bbry_qc8992_autoloader_user-na-tmo-.zip Priv Verizon bbry_qc8992_autoloader_user-vzw-vzw-.zip Priv (the rest) bbry_qc8992_autoloader_user-common-.zip DTEK50 (all) bbry_qc8952_64_sfi_autoloader_user-common-.zip DTEK60 (all) bbry_qc8996_autoloader_user-common-.zip WHAT'S AN .ASC FILE? -------------------- A PGP signature for the corresponding .7z/zip file. If you want to confirm 100% that the file came from me, verify the file with the signature. To compare, my key: 0x29795048 (0xa6cccdea29795048), which should be in the keyserver ecosystem. If you're on POSIX, it should be something like this: $ gpg --recv-keys 0x29795048 //Download key from keyserver $ gpg --fingerprint 0x29795048 //Make sure it's me $ gpg --verify *.7z.asc *.7z //Check if it works; switch to .zip for Android For Windows, get GnuPG somehow (https://gpg4win.org/download.html) and do the above. WHAT'S THE OS INFO FILE? ------------------------ A list of information, sizes and hashes (MD5/SHA1/SHA256/SHA512) for each autoloader file. If you want to confirm that the file is not corrupted, compare hashes and sizes. To compare, compare the hash for the file (with 7-Zip, for example) with the file. The file is structured like this: OS: Radio: Software: Device: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ File: Size: Hashes: MD5: SHA1: SHA256: SHA512: File: etc... WILL THIS UNLOCK MY PHONE? -------------------------- No. WILL THIS RE-LOCK MY PHONE? --------------------------- No. WILL THIS OPEN THE ESCREENS? ---------------------------- No. WILL IT WORK IN INDIA? ---------------------- Hsss. WHERE DO I GO IF SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK? ---------------------------------------- http://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-leaked-beta-os-f395/blackberry-os-archive-943672/
