Make 9500 4.7.0.106 work for 9530! It is Amazingly Fast!

SnowBrdPaint · Thread Author #1 02-16-2009, 01:44 AM

Thanks to BBCrackMan, I have successfully installed the 9500 4.7.0.106 version on my 9530. Here are the instructions below. I took BBCrackMan's instructions from here but made them easier so there is no confusion.

NOTE: Please be aware that we are still using features of 103 and some of 106. This OS is basically a HYBRID since we do not have the new sfi file for CDMA on 106.

Please make sure you back up data on Desktop Manager under Back up/restore option. NOTE: If you get an error during this process, clear your browser cache (Browser > Menu Key > options > cache operation > clear all of them)

You may also want to backup your 3rd party applications.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS UP YOUR PHONE DOING THIS PROCESS. I AND OTHERS CONFIRM THAT IT WORKS!

Please use THE WAY now. Until we can get an MSI for this build, you have to do it manually. The New Version was screwing people up. If you tried the NEW way and it didnt work, just use THE WAY

Please also remember to use CrackMem if you want to remove modules that are already installed.

The WAY:
1. Download 9530 4.7.0.103 and install it
2. Download 9500 4.7.0.106 and install it
3. Go to C:\program files\common files\research in motion\shared\loader files
Your program files might be C:\Program Files X86 if you are running a 64-bit windows installation. If you do not know what I am talking about here, just ignore this line.
4. Go into the 103 directory and then go into Java
5. Select all of these files and COPY them
6. Go back one directory (so your into the 103 directory) and create a new folder called Java103.
7. Paste these files into this directory. It serves as your backup 103
8. Now go back into the loader files directory so you can now go into 106
9. Now that your in 106, go into the Java folder and copy everything.
10. Go back into 103/Java and paste. Confirm that you should overwrite everything. Some of the old CDMA files will remain there.
11. Then uninstall .106 from the control panel.
12. Now use the AppLoader located at "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\Loader.exe"
It will be loading .106 files. You can confirm this by checking on the core files details. It should also say update.
13. Wait and you will be done with the greatest OS yet!

Let me know what you guys think.

bbcrackman and I both request that you guys be polite, calm, and respectful of one another when responding, commenting, or adding your feedback to this thread.

A thanks to either of us is also appreciated!

I'm heading to bed soon so I don't have time to try this, but I'm looking forward to what the verdict will be on it.

Thanks for the info!

its too bad even with the custom .106 for 9530 it still has MMS issues (cant forward MMS with .jpg/picture files). I was really hoping that this hybrid of sort might solve the issue. Alas it does not.

is attaching a .jpg/picture file from a website to a MMS working for others (using the .106 hybrid from the 9500-9530)? Im still getting the blue box, or sometimes gray box instead of the picture im trying to forward. Shame...

The overall response of the OS's is fabulous. There is still a degration of overall resolution (very noticeable when you go to Media).

Never had the MMS issues, but this hybrid is still worth the effort!

No OS Lag!

Browser a lot faster (still typing lag though)!

This fixes most of the typing lag for me, but obviously the real verdict is what you guys think.

Please discuss nicely and politely to each other. Be thankful that we have something to tide us over until the real .106 or hopefully a newer release like .111.

I have not experienced that issue, my MMS is working flawlessly. I will look into it tomorrow. Time to sleep....
