Next time leave the post and append your answer to it in case someone else is looking for the same question/answer combination... no matter how noobish you think it may be.


BTW, I don't know what answer you found for your question, but running BBSAK or anything else doesn't free up any more memory on the device then a standard OS update will. The OS is wiped before being upgraded... it's part of how loader.exe works during the OS install process.

If there is free memory to be gained, you'll gain it through removing unwanted cods from your install or by simply installing the newer OSs which have natively dropped in size due to RIM optimizing the code of both the apps, but most importantly, the base OS/SFI file contents.
