Thread: Need a Telus Hybrid with 5.0.0.140

I wonder if it would be possible to create a hybrid version of 5.0.0.140 for Telus user... with BBM 5.0, a fonctional browser and Facebook 1.6.0.21.

Thank's

Everything you listed should already work except the Facebook. I believe that is a RIM software dev limitation so the only fix I know of is to run a 4.7 or lower OS.

The solution myself and many people are using is to go with a 4.6/4.7 hybrid (depending on your device) with as many 5.0 files as possible. This can include the browser and BBM5 but your Facebook will still work.

but after installing version 5.0.0.140,
I had no browser icon and can't install BBM 5.

Did you try a battery pull and resending service books?

Also, on a side note, I am positive there are hybrids being made in progress.

I have had heard other Telus members describing they cannot get their Browser back after installing 5.0

I just googled it and there is a LOT of telus customers that don't have there browser after installing 5.0 not sure if there is really a fix's for it though, might just wanna downgrade to your last OS.

Just my 2cents

I followed this process and it worked for me. I have copied this directly from another forum.

This post assumes you have already downloaded and installed BlackBerry OS 5.0 t your phone.

First you will need to download a couple things.

They are the CrackUtil Program, and the AT&T service books. I will attach the service books to this post, but CrackUtil you're on your own for because for whatever reason I'm unable to get it to upload on my connection currently. I apologize.

Download and unzip the servicebooks zip file you download from here. Best bet is desktop just so it's easy to find.

Install CrackUtil if not already done.

Vista users ONLY: Right click on the shortcut on your desktop. Select Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab. Click in the check box next to Run as Administrator

1. Okay, connect your Bold to the computer, start CrackUtil.
2. Click on the tab that says "File Manipulation - INTERMEDIATE"
3. Click "Retrieve File Listing"
4. Scroll down and find the file called "net_rim_bb_browser_daemon" and click on it
5. Click "Remove File from Device" and it will store the file in a folder for you.
6. You will get and "Out of Grid" error message on CrackUtil, this is normal so no worries.
7. The device at this point is rebooting so close CrackUtil, leave the phone connected, and allow the phone to finish booting up. You could also see a couple of errors once the phone does finish loading up, again, NOTHING to worry about.
8. Start BlackBerry Device Manager
9. Click the Backup and Restore
10. Click on Advanced
11. On the Left hand side, you'll notice it says "File", so click on that
12. Navigate to where you unzipped the service books to, it will be the only file in the directory so no guessing here
13. Once you double click on that, it will drop it into the left hand side of the two windows
14. You'll notice 2 buttons between the 2 windows on Desktop Manager, click the bottom one has the ">>" on it
15. That will throw the service books onto the device. At this point, close desktop manager because you're done with it
16. Start CrackUtil
17. Click once again on the "File Manipulation Tab - INTERMEDIATE" tab
18. Click "Load File to Device"
19. It opens where it pulled the browser_daemon off your device and stored it on your computer
20. Double Click that file to load
21. Once it loads, your device will reboot
22. Once you see the load screen, close CrackUtil, and you can disconnect your Bold from your computer
23. Once device loads up, go to either your BIS login page, or the Personal Email Setup icon on your device, resend your service books to restore email
24. Enjoy your Browser

These instructions were written to be the most BASIC form, with very easy to understand, broken down waaaay much to be a very EASY step by step procedure. Seems like a lot, but it is very much easy and quick steps. Was written for those with a very limited knowledge.

I take zero credit for this tutorial, I found very similar tutorials on both Crackberry.com, and BlackBerryOS.com. I simply applied thier method to this OS install on the Bold. All credit for the original work goes to the authors of those tutorials.

Although this post was initially meant for bold users having issues i was able to apply it to the my 9530. The link to the ATT service book i used is ATT Service Books.

Additionally I was thinking that maybe if I reinstalled 4.7 and backed up only my service books creating my own servicebook.IPD file and then go through this process that that might work as well, I havent tried though since after tinkering with this for a few hours i was glad to move on to the next challenge of getting bbm to work, and it does thanks to you guys.

Got crackutil from here CrackUtil
Hope I was able to help and good luck
