I always follow these steps:
- Disable internet connection
- Install new berry OS
- Make a backup copy of the original OS (not absolutely necessary, I'm just crazy like this)
- Open Shrink-A-OS, remove all the stuff I never use.
- Open BBSAK, backup my 3rd party apps
- Open DM and backup my berry device data
- Open BBSAK again, and click "Wipe Device", wait for your berry to load up with "Load new Software" (I think this is error 507)
- run `loader.exe /nojvm' (C:\progra~1\common files\research in motion\apploader\)
- once OS is installed, restore 3rd party apps via BBSAK
- battery pull (once)
- restore all data from DM
- battery pull (twice)
- re-enable internet connection
Doing this, I've never had a problem with any OS (other than true bugs, quirks)
