~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

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: <OS version>
Radio: <radio version, QNX only>
Software: <software release, QNX only>
Device: <device, Android only>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
File: <autoloader>
	Size: <size>
	Hashes:
		MD5: <MD5>
		SHA1: <SHA1>
		SHA256: <SHA256>
		SHA512: <SHA512>
File: <autoloader2>
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?
