Here are the instructions AFTER the download. PHONE NOT PLUGGED IN
1.Back up OS and 3rd party apps
2. Download the Zip Hybrid (Instructions also posted inside of zip file)((See above to download))
3. Download OS .114 (See Above)
4. Install OS .114 TO THE COMPUTER (This is not the hybrid you are installing to computer.)
5.Extract Zip Folder
Now you need to open the extracted folder, in that folder is another folder labeled 4.7.0.114 Hybrid, open that one. Inside that folder you will see 2 items
1. 4.7.0.114 ( this is the Hybrid that you need to right click on and copy)
2. A readme file
Now rt click and copy the 4.7.0.114 file from here
Go to C:> program files> common files> research in motion> shared> Loader files and paste (see pic) yes to overwrite (Yes to all).
If it does not ask to overwrite you need to Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9530-v4.7.0.114_P4.0.0.143 And DELETE THE FOLDER it should have replaced. You MUST delete the FOLDER and REPLACE it with the BBCrackman HYBRID if it does not automatically ask for an overwrite/ copy over.
go back 1 level to the apploader folder and delete the vendor.xml file,
NOW PLUG PHONE IN, DO NOT OPEN DESKTOP MANAGER/ CLOSE DESKTOP MANAGER In the same folder is the Loader.exe file, double click that program. When it asks you if you want to keep the current system file or downgrade, choose downgrade and then hit next (Second Option).
This is after you start the loader program, you want to downgrade
Make sure you back up
verify installation This is going to take A WHILE but not as long as v1. WALK AWAY FROM PHONE
finish and verification
DO NOT TOUCH PHONE UNTIL AFTER IT BOOTS ITSELF UP, EVEN IF IT SITS ON WHITE SCREEN OF LOADING FOR 5,10,15 MIN. LET IT DO WHAT IT DOES. LOL
ALSO the platform and version will be the same as v1. The only way to know if you have done this correctly is to visual see the computer tell you the process has been finished.
VIDEO Explaining how to install version 1. These are the same steps as version 2! Also the same for Version 3!
Thanks for your support crackberry.com and thank you blackberryos.com for creating these hybrids.
Its not a teaser it is to draw everyone into this thread so they know what is going on before all the directions hit. That way we can work out any bugs etc before the flood gates are opened.
Have you seen Oceans 13? We are having a 'soft' opening.
MAYBE tonight or tomorrow. We are polishing off instructions as we speak. May try to tone them down and change them to help out EVEN More.
We will also hopefully explain the pros of the update, what changes, maybe what parts of .113 have been included etc.
I just wanted to get this page up to let everyone know it is on the way withing the next dayish.... Hopefully I will have a couple more things to post tonight.
The hybrid will be rolled out sometime between tomorrow and April 4th. I am guessing from what I have heard the release should be closer to 3/28 than 4/4 but no promises. We'll keep everyone posted as soon as we get the word.
