Thank you for answering me. I have searched hi and lo. You'd think BlackBerry would have an archieve of older OS. Too much to ask for? It's such an easter egg hunt looking for anything on this site. Oh well.
RIM (btw -- "BlackBerry" is a device, RIM is the company that makes them) does not control any OS releases to end users. The carriers are 100% in control of that process. It is that way due to the support model, and that support model is contractually controlled. The carriers, by agreeing to be BB carriers, further agree to providing 100% of the formal support to their end users...as part of that, the carriers test and certify the specific OS packages that they will support for their specific customers. And, like all things, they roll off older versions as newer ones come along -- it's way too difficult to keep their staffs fully trained on too many different versions.
So, if RIM were to do what you desire, they would be violating the terms of their contracts with the carriers. Not something that is easy to accomplish at all.

Anybody have any ideas on where I can get a download of 7.1.0.074? I must have it to have 2G capabilities.
As a formally RIM-sponsored site, it's not allowed to discuss things that are outside of the contractual controls. So, while I'm sure that there is some archive site out there somewhere, links to it cannot be provided as per the Ts and Cs here. But, I'd be hopeful that your favorite Internet search engine could provide you with possible results, or at least pointers to archive sites at which the friendly site managers might be able to answer your quest.
If anyone wishes to provide PaulaJava with links, please do so via Private Message on this site, not in the public posts.
Good luck!

Skype for Blackberry 9900?

What about BB 9900

Hi, OB3, and welcome to the Community, Skype has not made any recent announcements about plans to release versions of the Skype app for older BlackBerry OS devices - that includes OS 5, 6, and 7. Skype Lite, upon which we were able to use Skype, was decommissioned in January 2013: https://support.skype.com/en/category/SKYPE_LITE/
Skype is now available on the newer BlackBerry devices such as the Z10, Q10, and Classic running at minimum the 10.1 OS. As the BlackBerry 9900 workhorses continue to age, I do not believe it likely that we will see any further updates either to the device, operating system, or apps.
Best regards,
Elaine

Software update 7.1Os for blackberry 9900

Hey, I have recently tried updating my software to the new 7.1, and when I try installing it, my screen stays frozen when it is backing up "social feeds" my mobile network connection has also turned off... It has been frozen like this for over 5 hours... Any ideas on what I do?

If you're updating via BlackBerry Desktop Software, unplug your phone, shut down the software, plug your phone back in, start up the software again and wait. Once the software tries to connect to your phone and sees that your phone doesn't have a proper OS installed, it will suggest one to you and will ask if you wish to install it.
If you're updating OTA (Over The Air), remove your battery then reinsert it. If you're not offered the opportunity to install an OS, you'll need to plug your phone in to your PC and use BlackBerry Desktop Software as I've described above.
Keep us up to date on your progress.

Podcast for Blackberry - no Explore Podcasts option on Bold 9900

Hi,
Just got my new Bold 9900. Originally supplied with a Orange sim and number and has recently had my Vodafone number ported across to it..
With the orange supplied Sim and number, the Podcast for Blackberry app worked fine and I was able to use the Explore Podcast option and find a couple of podcasts that worked well.
Since my old number being ported across, i have lost the Explore Podcast option and no longer can add podcasts.
I found KB25642 which explains the exact problem, but following the workaround does fix the problem. Can anyone help? I am in UK.
Cheers
Paul

Unable to find the requested server on Blackberry 9900 Smartphone Simulator

I have downloaded the Blackberry 9900 and 9930 Simulator . When I launch the browser on the simulator ,It is showing unable to find the requested server.The device is connected through Wi-Fi.

Greetings and welcome to the Support Forums.
I am really not clear as to your specific question.
You want to be able to login to your work WiFi?
You want to be able to resend Service Book to your device... for what need?
Do you have the BlackBerry Data plan on your service provider account? If you're not sure, call them and ask.
Who is your service provider?
What other details can you provide?

Camera flash light switches off my blackberry 9900

Whenever I want to snap with the flash of my blackberry 9900 the fones goes off..why

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

Can I get a QQ software for Blackberry Z10

I get two Blackberry mobiles , one Blackberry 9900 , one Blackberry Z10 ! I am Chinese living in London , The QQ , just like face book it is really important and necessary for European or Anerican etc. There is an increasing number of Chinese people use Blackberry , it means people need it when they use it or after buy !If the soft ware is not already they won't buy it after the people checked information about APPs online,and RIM will lose a big part of prospective customer .So I am waitting for the Chinese APPs not only for QQ , we need others also like : wechat , renren , 58 , QQreader , FM radio , QQlive , baidu ,Qzone, etc. Thank you very much !

You will have to contact the support developer at QQ to ask them to see if they are going to make a app. Also all those other app you mention you will have to send a email to each one to let them know their is a user-base on blackberry wanting their app.

Blackberry 9900 bricked with red LED flashing

My cell phone Blackberry 9900 was bricked last night. No special usage or status before. Now it can't be turned on any more, just the LED flashing. I have tried many ways to re-turn it on, not work. It even can't connect to computer. the computer is able to find it just when the red LED is lighting!
What happened on my phone? What can I do next? I must turn it on!

Cisco Jabber for Blackberry

Hi Jabber Experts,
I was trying with Cisco Jabber IM for Blackberry(9700) , i had manually loaded the application on the device and chose the CUPS(On-Premise) mode installation. I was able succesfully login with my CUPC login credentials. I could see all my contacts, presence info and chat. But Iam not able to place a call. I tried to search one of the contact profile and see no information there, though my desktop(cupc) application all the contact profiles populated with required informations(work phone, cell,email)
We have a LDAP integration on CUPS.
Please advice how can i place a call from my Cisco Jabber Application?
Regards
John

Hi Binu,
Cisco Jabber for Blackberry probably has similar causes for failure to register as the Android version. You may wish to check out the "Cisco Jabber Registration Fails" section at the following URL for ideas:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cumc/cisco_jabber/Android/86/Cisco_Jabber_Android_8.6.x_Admin_Guide.html#wp170272

Facebook and Twitter for Blackberry..

Is Facebook and Twitter for Blackberry fine? I tried to download it to my BB phone but it says it doesn't support it. Do I have to download a different link? I need help asap.
I love my BB!

I got mine working. If your service provider is globe you should use their service which is BB Social but 300 a month. BB SOCIAL ON send to 8888. You'll get confirmation messages and twitter, facebook and adding email will be no problem.
I love my BB!

Any roadmap to have to Lync client for Blackberry 10?

...with full feature support of course (phone, video, presence,...).
I know there are still some challenges like at current time with BB10 OS (like you must keep you app in an active frame), but these limitations will soon go away with the new OS version (http://devblog.blackberry.com/2013/05/blackberry-jam-headless-invoke/?CPID=E10C020,
new Background Services framework which allows developers to bundle a separate process with their application to run in the background without a UI)
The Lync for Mac version still lacks of some critical phone features not being implemented (delegate support, team-call group members, wireless QoS tagging 802.11e,...)

Hi,
There is currently no Lync client available for Blackberry (RIM) devices. Sorry to say I also did not find any roadmap about lync for Blackberry 10.

Unable to log into Facebook for BlackBerry 10 since last year

Please help me understand why the facebook app for BlackBerry 10 doesn't allow me to login at all. See the attached screen shot which may not successfully load (error message reads as follows "sorry, an unexpected error occurred. Please try again later), I haven't had the chance to even submit my login credentials. This has happened every single time I click the app for several months now.
Bought my Z30 last year summer/ fall and love it except for the lack of app selections.
However no luck even after the two BlackBerry 10 OS updates to 10.2.1 and the last two Facebook for BlackBerry 10 updates to 10.4.0.12. Un-installing, re-installing, deleting from phone and also removing from My BlackBerry World account did not work.
I have no problems logging into the facebook app made for iPhone, iPad. I'm able to login into my Facebook on Mac computer. Windows computer and even on the BlackBerry browser.
I have already exhausted my options with hours on the phone with tech support at Phone company.
I am hoping I can get some help without having to wipe my phone completely or having to send it into the phone company.
In addition, they will give me a loaner which so far I'm told all their stores only have z10 and no Z30s to give me while my Z30 will be in for repairs.
Any useful advice would be appreciated. Please read the above in its entirety before responding so you will know what I have already done.
Thanks in advance.

Photoshop.com is gone. If you had photos stored there, you should have received a series of emails about their being moved to Revel. You can't sign in because there's nothing to sign in to.

Problem with Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry 10

Hi Blackberry Team,
I've recently encountered a problem with Yahoo Messenger 10.1.0.88 on my Blackberry Q10 running OS 10.1.0.4181 software. It had been working fine for like a month after I purchased this phone from the authorized shop in Thailand until a few days ago it started showing the message within seconds after signed-in: 'Your connectino to the instant messaging provider has been lost. You can wait for the connection to be re-established or close the application and try logging in later'.
This is only when I'm on 3G cellular network. It works fine through Wi-Fi connection.
I did some research on website and found that the latest version of Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry is actually 10.1.1.16 released on Sep 30th, 2013 but, for some unknown reasons, my Blackberry World only shows the '10.1.0.88' (which already installed on my phone) as the latest version.
I really need this for work as I'm communicating with international bankers over yahoo. Please help look into this problem and get it fixed at your earliest possible. Thank you.

I have the same problem with my z10 always unknown error it getting me crazy
