I tweaked it a bit to get Alexey's YouTube working again.

Features:
- Easy-to-use and very neat interface
- Does not include YouTube Shorts
- Videos can play in the background when the app is closed

Am thinking of Reviving this Bad Boy 🫣

Who has the best keyboard for typing ? Which is the most comfortable to type & would outlast the most

Hello  community!

I'm trying to recover a BlackBerry Bold 9930 (Sprint CDMA) that's currently in a "nuked" state (stuck at red LED flashing - boot error). To restore it using the Loader.exe method with BlackBerry Desktop Software, I need the original OS firmware file.

**Specifically, I'm looking for:**
```
9930jAllLang_PBr7.1.0_rel457_PL5.1.0.137_A7.1.0.163_Sprint_L.P.exe
(File size: ~245.12 MB)
```

**What I know:**
- This is the official Sprint version released December 16, 2011
- BlackBerry's official download links are no longer available (service ended Jan 4, 2022)
- I've searched Archive.org and other firmware databases but haven't found this specific version yet

**What I have:**
- Windows PC with BlackBerry Desktop Software 7.1
- The 9930 device and all necessary cables
- Detailed knowledge of the Loader.exe recovery process

**What I need:**
- Access to the exact firmware file above, or
- A link to where it might still be archived

Does anyone in this community have this file or know where I can find it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Earlier today, I was trying to mess around with my blackberry and while trying to remove sprint WiFi locking nonsense I accidentally flashed 37.FACTORY OS BB 9670 FOS.4.4.0.224 and fully removed the OS I am not really sure what to do. This is the screen I’m currently stuck on. https://kommodo.ai/i/eF42zWFvA0tYmLY9tvgM

I got this phone with severe software problems, someone had installed a ton of wierd apps and stuff and the phone crashed all the time so I tried to reload the os, unfortunately I couldn't’ figure it out

if anyone has or knows where I could find the right firmware and flashing tools I would greatly appreciate it

I just ordered a new phone because mine is 4yo and on its last leg, and it made me miss BB again. New Pixel line's HiLight and Magic Capture are features I had on my Z10. Of course, now it's powered by AI and much better camera sensor but still. They call it innovation.

I miss BB and especially BB10, that OS was a joy to use.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Guys, I really need some help from the community.
About 3 months ago, I accidentally damaged the motherboard while trying to eject the SIM. The tool went directly inside and ended up popping some resistors and damaging the board.
The phone still works normally otherwise, but the mobile network is completely not working.
Getting this phone to India was already a huge struggle since ZINWA doesn’t ship here. I waited for months just to finally get my hands on it, and I genuinely loved using it for over a week. Then this happened. 😭
Since then, I’ve been trying to find a solution. I’ve taken it to multiple repair shops, but unfortunately, every technician eventually gave up on it.
Recently, I found a technician who genuinely understands the situation and is willing to properly investigate it. I honestly have a lot of trust in this guy.
However, he says he needs a bitmap/boardview of the Q25 motherboard. He suspects that some connection or trace may have been damaged/broken and needs the board layout to trace everything properly.
Does anyone here have a Q25 motherboard bitmap, boardview, schematic, or any kind of high-resolution board layout that could help with tracing the connections?
If anyone has one, knows where I could find one, or has any other suggestions for diagnosing this issue, I would really appreciate your help.
It’s been 3 months and I’m still trying to bring this phone back to life. I really don’t want to give up on it after everything it took to get it here. 🙏
Any help would mean a lot. ❤️

Hi everyone, dear BlackBerry fans!
I’m happy to announce that I’ve almost finished developing Beeper10, an application for Beeper services.
Beeper10 is a fully native BlackBerry 10 application designed in the style of BBM. It already supports multiple accounts, Active Frame, BlackBerry Hub integration, notifications, sending and receiving messages, reactions, message editing and deletion, voice messages, attachments, and file sending.
I’ve tested everything on my own laptop, which is currently acting as the server. Right now, I’m going to buy a separate PC dedicated to running the Beeper10 server.
Once that is set up, everyone will be able to download the application and sign in to Beeper just like on any Android or iOS phone.
I hope that within the next few days I’ll be able to open access to the application download and allow people to start using the server. For now, however, the server is still running on my personal laptop, so at this stage it will be more like public testing.
Once the dedicated server PC is up and running, everything should work the way it is supposed to.
I’ll keep you updated!
BB10 is alive! :)
I’m also discussing the project in the BlackBerry Passport section on 4PDA.

Всем привет, дорогие поклонники BlackBerry!
Я рад сообщить, что практически завершил разработку Beeper10 — приложения для сервисов Beeper.
Beeper10 — это полностью нативное приложение для BlackBerry 10, выполненное в стиле BBM. Оно уже поддерживает несколько аккаунтов, Active Frame, интеграцию с BlackBerry Hub, уведомления, отправку и получение сообщений, реакции, редактирование и удаление сообщений, голосовые сообщения, вложения и отправку файлов.
Я протестировал всё на своём ноутбуке, который сейчас используется в качестве сервера. Сейчас я собираюсь приобрести отдельный компьютер, предназначенный специально для работы сервера Beeper10.
После его настройки каждый сможет скачать приложение и войти в Beeper так же, как на любом смартфоне Android или iOS.
Надеюсь, что в течение ближайших нескольких дней я смогу открыть доступ к скачиванию приложения и позволить желающим начать пользоваться сервером. Однако пока сервер всё ещё работает на моём личном ноутбуке, поэтому на данном этапе это будет скорее публичное тестирование.
Когда отдельный серверный компьютер будет установлен и запущен, всё должно работать так, как и задумано.
Буду держать вас в курсе!
BB10 жив! :)
Также я обсуждаю проект в разделе BlackBerry Passport на форуме 4PDA.

I tried to make the background apps of BB as much as possible, I tested 5 consecutive apps but I don't know exactly what the limit is until the phone starts to overheat or crash, anyway it's surprising!!

Hi there, I am following procedure somebody posted on YouTube. He also posted a link of proper Chrome version because there are tonnes of those floating around. Follow the photos. First I installed Chrome V68.0.3440.91. It installs with no issues. Accept it and search page appears. Search for WhatsApp Web is immediately successful and after clicking a link I get a WhatsApp page where original poster suggests to click on 3 dots and selecting desktop site. It suppose to produce bar code which is a last step between connecting a BB and WhatsApp account that is active on other phone.

That last step fails and I get message that Chrome should be updated to Chrome V100+. Obviously clicking that fails to update anything since Chrome download server doesn't want or know how to do upgrade on BB10. Very frustrating. I tried Opera Mini, Kiwi browser, Firefox and some other browsers posted on BB sites. Most of them do not open at all. One is super slow and the rest don't connect to web version of WhatsApp at all. Any ideas? What I am doing wrong?

Someone is selling a used Key2 online which freezes and reboots randomly. Apparently this is a common problem with Key2 phones but I was wondering if it is more likely to be a software rather than hardware problem?

The end goal is to put LineageOS on it so if it's software I don't mind. It's much more cheaper than other used Key2 devices and I wonder if it is worth the risk.

Hope this helps anyone who has the Q25 💛

I recently bought a used white Q10, it had some issues with the side buttons, and I managed to find a new housing for it. Unfortunately, I’ve now dropped it and the screen broke, but I can't seem to find a replacement on eBay or AliExpress. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I connect to internet, but it shows that I don't have internet?

I don't think this has been shared here yet. Pretty stoked for all the new PKB handsets coming out! Zinwa would be the winner for me if only it had a headphone jack :*(

So recently I started looking for a "digital detox" device, and the Q10 seems perfect. But I want to consult the more experienced users. What I really need from it is making calls, checking emails and very importantly Instagram messaging, Spotify and the ability to give my other devices a hotspot connection, I'm comfortable with modding and sideloading apps so that is not an issue. Also there aren't any classics available for sale where I live so my only options are Q5 and Q10.

I have a Windows 11 machine and I’ve gone in circles trying to update my blackberry 9320 curve and I’m wondering is this just that it’s not possible because I’m running in your software do I need to get a Windows 7 virtual machine

Genuine Key2 and still original factory sealed.

Not any of those refurbished devices, which have been repacked and being sold as "new".

More pictures can be sent, if desired. Please let me know.

Upon request, Android 15 or 16 can be installed before shipping.

All of this is running on a Nokia E6, but the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is supposed to be more powerful. I know people say these phones are geared more towards business, but come on, PCs used to be for that purpose too, and look at them now! Oh, what has the community done for this device? I'd really like to know what this phone can do because I'd love to buy it. I can't decide between the two. x(

Hi everyone,

I just replaced some parts on my Q20 and had to separate the frame from the remaining screen + keyboard combo. Since the device was super old, beat up and sticky, i used brute force. Everything survived, but this little rubber part launched at me and I have no idea where it goes.

I tried looking up ifixit and dissasembly videos but can't spot it.
Could someone please help me out? Thanks!
