Quite common problem on crackberry. Any ideas? I can't even do it wired it seems

have you tried it through dingleberry?

joquio 02-15-2012 03:34 PM

I think in order to root via Dingleberry you have to downgrade the OS right?
The links I found to download older OS are dead. Anyone know of working links?

Huh?
Do you have a link?
I'm under the impression that the 2.0.0.6149 can't be rooted and only way to root is downgrade to 2.0.0.486$9

EDIT: NVM, there is an option to download the firmwares once you start dingleberry.

RRxtar 02-19-2012 04:42 PM

jerche 02-20-2012 05:48 PM

^it seems like there is a confirmation

FYI Asphalt 6 and Modern Combat 2 is free right now in the app world...looks like a nice pickup!

Also Blackberry Bridge 2.0 is already available for download too

I regret buying my 16gb for $200 lol

i regret buying my 64gig crapbook with 2 screen protectors, 3 diff cases, and accessories. I spend over $1000 on this when it was just released

:facepalm:

Go to your settings by swiping the screen downward and then click on system updates or whatever it's called. Then hit search and it will search for updates.

RRxtar 02-21-2012 11:13 AM

os2 in and running well.

at first i was a little disappointed but once i figured out how to create new tabs and folders in the home screen ive got it set up nicely. native email and calendar synced with gmail looks good so far too

remote control with bridge 2 is pretty cool too!

anyone figure out any tricks yet? reading crackberry is useless. pages and pages and pages of "how do i install os2?" lol

cctw 02-21-2012 11:42 AM

^get any android apps to work on it yet?

Psykopathik 02-21-2012 12:09 PM

i sideloaded PocketManga from a .BAT file from Crackberry. however it cannot connect to the server. I copied the files from my Galaxy S2 and dropped them in the Pocketmanga folder on the playbook and i could read my library previously downloaded at least.

All android stuff will be located in misc/android.

Razor Ramon HG 02-21-2012 01:17 PM

Disappointed with 2.0. Selling my 16GB for $160; original box, accessories and receipt. PM me if interested.

If you plug in your playbook and connect it to BlackBerry manager, you can update through there , it is much faster too !
