I've installed leaks which are really easy. Delete vender go up to app loader and double click. How do I install hybrids. Seem much more difficult. Please step by step instructions. Have .428 now want to go to the .45* Hybrid. Thanks, hope someone can help.
Go to the thread that's offering the hybrid. I'd assume instructions are posted there.
Briefly:
Ensure that .428 is installed on your computer, and that it's the only OS installed. Verify that in control panel/add/remove programs.
Download hybrid. Install hybrid by launching it. Shrink if you want. Then install using loader (c:\program files\common files\research in motion\loader).
As always, back up your data using DM before you install the hybrid.
Step 1. Remove ALL BB OS's from your computer in Control Panel>Programs. (Device Software)
Step 2. Remove ALL BB OS files in C:\Program Files>Common Files>Research In Motion>Shared>Loader Files
Step 3. Download the base OS and install onto your PC
Step 4. Download the hybrid you wish to install
Step 5. Wipe to 507 with BBSAK or JL_Cmder (this step is optional as when you load a new OS a wipe happens in the process however some still like to start completely fresh)
Step 6. Run hybrid over your base OS. (if the Hybrid is built as an installer, just run the .exe and it will load/replace the files for you. If its not an installer then you will have to manually move over the files)
Step 7. You can use Shrink-A-OS by Lyricidal to remove preloaded junk on your device if you choose
Step 8. Use loader.exe to instal OS to your device
Step 9. After the install restore your apps and personal info, etc.
Step 10. Do a few battery pulls to let OS settle and stabilize.
Step 11. Enjoy
******Always backup personal info with DM and back up 3rd party apps with BBSAK

I really hope this thing installs. Everything went smoothly. but it's been 2 hours and it's still going.....oop just finish....wish me luck
EDIT" Well that's a NO. There's a circle in the middle of the screen and it says "reload 507".
Any help?
Yeah should never take more than 30 mins to load. Right now you have no OS on your device. Where was the hangup? Did something happen during install? ie. pull the USB? what happened?
nothing like that. i thought everything was going smoothly. i knew it was taking too long, but i didn't want to pull the cable. i got to the point of deleting the java in .428 (that's the whole folder, right?). Installed hybrid on pc over it. And then hit the .451 exe and let it do it's thing?
It seems everyone was asked where to install .451 when they clicked the installer, i was not, could that be it?

Yeah when you run the installer it should prompt you to ask what OS to load the hybrid into and you are supposed to select .428.
Do this, open up your OS folder on your PC then open the Java folder and see if the files are in there.
They were in there......but i just finished reloaded my .428 and in the process deleted them all. If i try the zip instead of the installer, would that be any better you think? How does that installation differ? btw, thanks
