AFTER BACKUP USE WIPE DEVICE USING BBSAK OR JL CMDR
AFTER WIPE DEVICE YOU WILL SEE A ERROR 507 ON YOUR PHONES SCREEN. THIS MEANS THERE IS NO OS INSTALLED ON YOUR PHONE.
BEFORE U LOAD YOUR HYBRID TO YOUR PC YOU WILL NEED TO GO TO YOUR OS FOLDER AND DELETE EVERYTHING IN IT.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9530-v4.7.0.151_P4.0.0.186

DOWNLOAD YOUR HYBRID YOU WISH TO INSTALL. EXTRACT IT TO YOUR OS FOLDER.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9530-v4.7.0.151_P4.0.0.186
Now you are ready to install the hybrid OS onto your device. The simplest way is to follow this path: C: > program files > common files > research in motion > app loader > and double click the loader icon that looks like a phone. This is a good time to double check in this same folder and make sure vendor.XML has been deleted.
OR USE BBSAK CLICK LOAD OS. RUN APP LOADER

IF YOUR APPS DOESN'T LOAD UP AUTOMATICALLY TO THIS SCREEN. HIT BROWSE THEN BROWSE TO BBSAK FOLDER. SELECT THE FOLDER LABELED BACKUP. OPEN IT THEN HIGHLIGHT ALL YOUR APPS IN THAT FOLDER THEN CLICK OPEN. IT MAY TAKE A MIN FOR IT TO LOAD UP YOUR APPS. NEXT SELECT THE APPS U WANT AND HIT NEXT AND LOAD TO YOUR DEVICE.
AFTER U LOADED APPS GO BACK TO DM AND RESTORE YOUR LATEST BACKUP.
AFTER YOU RESTORED YOUR DEVICE PULL BATTERY THREE TIMES. LEAVE BATTERY OUT FOR A MINUTE EACH TIME. I USUALLY WAIT AFTER MY SECURITY SCREEN SHOWS UP AND PHONE SETTLE A LITTLE TO DO OTHER PULLS.
When everything is complete, restored, etc. I like to do the following things: a. options > advanced > host routing table > menu key > register now; b. call *228 option 1, then repeat and select option 2; c. resend service books; d. battery pull
