Fix for Disappearing SB's for T-Mobile for PPL without DATA PLANS

timsterzilla · Thread Author #1 07-12-2011, 12:55 AM

First you need to get SB's into your phone so you have to enable SB Legacy Restore. You cannot just download the T-Mobile SB's and inject them. LEGACY RESTORE needs to be on. To do this go to Options>Advanced Options>Service Books and then click the menu button and select "Show Keyboard" It would be easier if you phone is in Landscape so do that now. And then hold down the "!?123" button to lock the keyboard in numerical/symbol mode and type "4?2?" You should see the message that "SB Legacy Restore Enabled" Now you are ready to load those t-mobile service books.

However, for those who had problems making SB's stay after a battery pull, I found a simple solution that works. All you have to do is go to Unsupported Browser and log in to your account. Since the Storm 2 is not supported by t-mobile, it will not recognize your phone and in the section where it shows your phone there should be a missing picture. However below that, there is an option to select your phone manually. Select the BlackBerry Curve Model - any is fine and click done. Now your SB's will stay!

Also this is for people who cannot get the MMS SB's to stay which was VERY ANNOYING...

I have this dammed issue on my 9550 you sir helped me fix it and i was finally able to send MMS.
However; right after I send a picture my facebook app, t-zones and my ability to send MMS gets restricted....
And so i have to follow these instructions all over again every time I send a pic...
I'll eventually figure this out... If you still around and have any ideas I'll gladly accept anything at this point
thanks
