The first thing I did after loading up the browser is enable legacy sb and do a sb backup!09-22-10 07:57 AMLike 0
- Great guide! One note tho... You don't actually need to enable legacy restore service books mode to backup the service books, but you do need to enable this during the restore process. If you performed a backup before upgrading you can enable this (SBEB) and do a custom restore selecting only the service books. I tested this and it worked fine for me on 2 devices.09-22-10 08:37 AMLike 0
- This depends on the phone, the carrier and what services are available. These instruction are for all phones, not just the 9650. For example, my normal dm backups contain 16 servicebooks whereas my legacy backup has 31. I'd rather have all 31. FB, twitter, vvm etc don't get backed up thru my normal DM backup process, neither do any of my IM servicebooks, so without my full legacy backup none of these services work on OS6 on t-mobile for me as they're not pushed to me automatically. In time t-mobile will support OS6 but for now I need all of them i'm afraid.

I went to do a custom sb backup and it showed 18 available...did a battery pull (finding out that VZW is now pushing the browser sb for OS6), enabled legacy restore, then DM6 found 41 SB's.
All is well with the v.22209-22-10 10:40 AMLike 0 - I installed the OS6 on my sprint 9650, and everything looks great. I got all my third party apps and everything EXCEPT MY THEMES!!!! What in the world???? I backed up everything and I THOUGHT everything was restored correctly. I backed up my 3rd party apps with the device switch wizard in DM5 I believe. Either way, it didn't seem like I needed the backup because after OS6 installed, my 3rd parties came along for the ride...EXCEPT MY THEMES!!! To make things worse, I tried to look for my 3rd party backup anyway to load through App Loader, AND THE BACKUP IS GONE NOW!!! HELP....I NEED MY THEMES BACK!!!!! Any input for me?09-22-10 12:22 PMLike 0

- No, they don't work. We're waiting for a release of Theme Developer 6 that will allow for new themes to be made.
I would recommend a full wipe AFTER you've backed up your device and the service books.
***NOTE FOR EVERYONE***
I did this backup and install of just the service books but since VZW automatically updates them, it over-wrote them again. Easy fix was to just install the old ones again until VZW comes out with an official OS6 release.
Just wanted to let everyone know. It happened after about a week.09-24-10 10:11 AMLike 0 - Not to mention, I try re-downloading my themes from the original source thru an OTA link (like through Mobihand), I get a "The item you selected cannot be displayed. Do you wish to save the item?" I select yes of course, wondering what he **** is going on. I save the *.jad file and I click on it, and it takes me to a download screen. I get happy. I click on the download button and I get a "Download Failed". I am effin' angry and ready to kick my cubicle down. PLEASE HELP!!!
I tried saving it and then re-opening it but it didn't work. So I guess ome 3rd party apps won't work on OS6 until they're updated as well.09-24-10 10:12 AMLike 0 -

OS6 is still available:
9650 v222.1.0 Released to Public!
Be sure to take a look at the hybrids available at BBtweaks.com.
Their hybrid os5 releases for my 8330 have been cleaner than some of the 4.5 standard releases I've loaded.
I would not hesitate to try an os6 release from them, if had a 9650...09-29-10 01:21 AMLike 0 - Try this. After you have selected save and you have reopened the file and are on the download page, select the option to change permissions. There are three catagories of permissions. The first is connections. Change the permissions to "allow" for the entire connections catagory. Save and close. It should start downloading.
