How can I know - on the device - that the hybrid is for sure installed ??

You should have had the message telling that some of the programs are being upgraded. If you didn't get any kind of message saying anything is upgraded, etc. You most likely don't have it installed.

My problem is that I had 282 installed with the crackman ver 1 hybrid

Is there anyway to tell on the device that the Xonz ver 9 hybrid id installed?

1. Uninstall all other OS from PC thru add/remove programs
2. Download and install .291 to PC 4.6.0.291
3. Download Hybrid 0.9a
4. Double click on v0.9 and follow instructions to install it over .291 (chose the usual path in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\ to install to)
5. Back up your phone AND 3rd party apps (click on guide in my signature and there are steps for each process)
6. When back ups all done, wipe your phone with BBSAK
7. If you would like to shrink the OS, here is a link to Shrink-A-OS: Shrink-A-OS
8. Delete vendor.xml file in c/program files/common files/research in motion/app loader, scroll to the bottom (if you use shrink a os, it deletes it automatically)
9. Double click on loader.exe or from shrink, click launch loader.exe
10. Wait for it to be finished, then restore everything thru Desktop Manager
11. Do 3 60-second battery pulls (pull battery, wait 60seconds, replace battery, wait till phone boots up, repeat total of 3 times)
12. Set everything up the way you like it and enjoy your phone

Keep us posted

You know I think the install is messed up because I did just that but when I used the apploader it only found the files for the 291 OS but not the hybrid files ????

You must install the hybrid onto your PC and then onto your BB using the loader. No OTA for hybrids.

I got my first forced reboot this afternoon. I was on a phone call and attempting to simultaneously configure a wifi connection. Rebooted during the setup. No problems since. Battery life is wonderful

Glad no problem aside the reboot when simultaneously accepting call and config wifi connection.... will try looking the fixes to the problem in next version..

Hopefully in the next version a lot change due try making a hybrid using 5.0 base... wish me luck:laugh2:

Guys you may think this is REALLY stupid by a pretty computer savvy guy but I think the instructions have to be modified just a little - correct me if I'm wrong
(the install location for the Hybrid has to be C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\then the "9000-v4.6.0.291_P4.0.0.183"folder
so that the added files are put into that folder

Is that correct?

Here would be the corrected instructions ????

1. Uninstall all other OS from PC thru add/remove programs
2. Download and install .291 to PC 4.6.0.291
3. Download Hybrid 0.9a
4. Double click on v0.9 and follow instructions to install it over .291 (chose the usual path in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9000-v4.6.0.291_P4.0.0.183
5. Back up your phone AND 3rd party apps (click on guide in my signature and there are steps for each process)
6. When back ups all done, wipe your phone with BBSAK
7. If you would like to shrink the OS, here is a link to Shrink-A-OS: Shrink-A-OS

I haven't try out the BES out... since I am only BIS user...
If there is a trouble with it.. hopefully next version the BES could be fixed.. since
I haven't any beta user using BES its difficult to try it

Xonz, I've already installed the hybrid, but i can't find Doc2Go. There's a Doc2Go ver 1.007.036 module (without word2Go, Slide2Go, etc), but there's no icons of them. Can you help me?
