For the original thread and .484 fixes, click here.

*Warning - just like installing any software, all data should be backed up before attempting any of these steps. These patches have been tested for the mentioned OS versions only. Install on any other OS at your own risk.

Want to stick with your carrier's official OS but are sick of the browser hyperlinks not working? Running a leaked OS and want the registration message at reboot to go away for good? Below you will find the fixes you are looking for.

*Note - the registration browser patch causes an App Error on any OS lower than .643, so do not install this on OS .591 or below. Also, the browser patch will work for OS .643 & .662 and give a speed increase.

1) Choose the fix you want, then follow the links to download

Browser patch 3.0 to fix hyperlink clicking issues - for OS .591 & .624

Registration Message patch 2.0 - for OS .643 & .662 (Sprint users only)

2) Decompress the .rar file, and put the file(s) into a single folder in Windows (this is untested for OSX/Linux)

3) Connect your BB via USB to your PC

4) Open BBSAK (if you don't have it download here and install it onto your PC)

5) In BBSAK, go to the "Modify CODs" tab, then hit the "Install COD(s)" button

6a) Navigate to the folder in step 2, then select all files in that folder (to select multiple files in Windows, highlight the first file, hold shift, then click on the last file) and click "Open". If BBSAK successfully installs the patches onto your BB and the handset reboots, go to step 7. If you get an error after clicking "Open" on BBSAK, go to step 6b.

6b) For some users, BBSAK is finicky about installing multiple .cod files at the same time. try installing the patches one at a time. if you still get an error when trying to install the browser patch by itself, split the patch into smaller and smaller portions until you stop getting an error message. you may need to do multiple .cod installs and sit through a few handset reboots.

7) If you installed the browser patch, it is recommended you do a battery pull afterwards. Also, to maximize its speed go to any web page, hit the bb/menu button, go to set encoding and change it to any ISO-8859- other than ISO-8859-1 (e.g. ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-3 etc.). Most find ISO-8859-3 to be best. Unchecking the "Auto" box may also increase speed. Play around with the settings to find what works best for you.

Edit: looks like Sprint eliminated the sending of the registration message from their side recently, so no more need for that patch
