Hybrid OS Installation Guide

[MikeGomez]

This was a great help.
I already install the OS after following this step, my torch is working and all my app are installed and working but how I know that I install the BDHP 6.1 on my phone???

Go to Options > Device > Application Management, hit the menu key, select Modules. Scroll through the list and you should see a variety of versions for all the net_rim_xxxxx entries, including some that are 6.1.0.7.

that's a nice one.. thank you for the info.. even though to some it's already known how to go through the process but i guess some fine info can always be pointed out.. in my case, i wasn't aware of the downgrade message that might show.. so we have to go through downgrading since some cod files may be of the previous version.. no wonder.. it's common sense too..
so, thanks!!

as i've been always following up on an upgrade after a clean wipe.. i'm still unsure if we should directly go ahead with the new os (hybrid or plain) installation without a wipe.. hmmmmmmm

how do we know that the hybrid is compatible with our bb model? for example i have a 9670 style and i havent seen any hybrids for it. on;y ones i think may work are the ones that say "all os 5 and os 6".

I have a beginners question.

This is the the first hybrid os that I have tried to install on my Torch 9800 or on any other phone for that matter.

I followed all the instructions given by wu-wei to the fullest.

Everything went smoothly until the final reboot. After the reboot there seems to be some kind of software conflict (not positive) and end up getting an app error 606.

I have tried wiping the phone with various programs but the major problem is that I am unable to connect to the phone.

I have read many posts and threads and wasn't able to find a solution to my problem.

I would appreciate any help on this matter due to my phone being good only as a paperweight right now.

Kind Thanks

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with a hybrid. I'm hoping it wasn't one of mine. ;-)

Hi!

Are you using the latest version of BlackBerry Desktop Software? Ever since I updated to the latest version everytime I want to wipe my device I have to go to Control Panel (on Windows OS and with my Bold connected via USB all the time), Uninstall a program section and then right click on Blackberry Desktop Software 6.1 and choose Repair. Once it is repaired, I run BBSAK and it gets recognized, and I can wipe my device with no problem. Maybe you should give it a try.

Hope it works..bye!

I have a problem. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files
I don't have Loader Files in the folder named Shared. What's the problem? Is it because of windows 7 or what?
