So I am thinking of running the 5.0.484 with a Hybrid for my VZW Tour. I am running .591. I am not having the nightmares other people are having, but the Bluetooth is terrible and it is enough to make me switch. Which method of wiping the device is "better". Also I am assuming that if I am wiping the device I don't need to start from 4.7 I can do a 5.0.484 and then run the upgrade.
Thank you

Correct. And I prefer BBSAK, the interface is more user friendly imho.

BBSAK is user friendly and easy to soft wipe the bb. Reloading the os and third party app is a breeze using bbsak

BBSAK for me too.. used it many, MANY times and never a problem once. Very user friendly and makes it a breeze to re-install your apps.

[TomAd9]

Looks like BBSAK. Thanks

Did you replace the java folder? Or did you run one of the installers?

I did not replace anything. I ran the installer. There was only one installer, It brought me to the shrink OS which I selected what to remove and ran it. It definately ran as I was able to remove certain things. Only thing now is that the time is 4 hours ahead and I can't change it to the correct time. I get a Java error.

+1. I just installed a leak. BBSAK was easy to use to back up my 3rd party apps and wipe my device. Restoring was just as easy.

By any chance was the hybrid you installed driphter's Dv8.5?

If you did install Driphter's Dv8.5 hybrid, there is a patch on Driphter's Web-site for that issue called "dv 8.5 date/time patch." You can find it under the "Patches" section.

[TomAd9]

Yes it was 8.5. Thanks

[mededitor]

Yes it was 8.5. Thanks

Then download the patch I referenced and you'll be able to set your time-zone properly.

Worked like a charm. Thank you.

How is everyone using BBSAK but me? It keeps telling me that BBSAK is expired! And the link the program sends me to, is dead.

My pleasure. I had the same problem, I think I was the first one who reported it at Driphter.com. Driphter described the fix and Shuck7 created an easy patch to download.

Glad that it worked for you, too.

I got the same message, but after I restarted my PC the next day and reopened BBSAK, I was able to use it like always.
