Instal Blackberry priv Non US Carrier autoloader on AT&T

Search This thread
Here is what I have done with my AT&T Priv.

1. Download both AT&T and common non-US carrier autoloader archives from BB website and extract them to separate folders. Make sure to download the closest versions of the two autoloaders.
2. Replace img/oem.img file in AT&T autoloader with the one from common autoloader.

Run flashall script in AT&T autoloader to flash your phone as usual, you will be upgraded to the latest AT&T ROM without those AT&T bloatware.

Bonus:
If you would like to preserve data when flashing autoloaders, i.e. upgrade without reset your phone to factory default, follow this:
Open flashall script and comment out two lines that run below commands:
fastboot.exe oem securewipe
flash userdata %IMG%\userdata.img

Then run flashall script as usual.

Above are all tested on my phone without problem.
I know this is an ancient thread, but hoping anyone has these auto loaders still around? I have attempted to use the wayback machine for autoloader:

https://bbapps.download.blackberry.com/Priv/bbry_qc8992_autoloader_user-common-AAW068.zip

However it just reloads the page and I am unable to download this file. Does anyone have this available to share?




Thank you in advance

    Hey Kraml, your solution has a lot of interested folks over at Crackberry. Can you post some more detailed instructions?

    Better yet, if you have an autoloader that's Marshmellow based already set up and share it with the community you'd become an instant rock star!

    Did anyone else that did this get an OTA update notification today? I'm actually surprised I would get something considering I'm not using an AT&T simcard.

    Update:
    Looks like this is the reason why I received the OTA update. Blackberry is starting to support the unlocked AT&T phones. http://www.techtimes.com/articles/1...receives-updates-directly-from-blackberry.htm
