Thanks jnepsa.
I tried using a previous device backup as the source of the Service Books, and that did not work.
If I use another carrier's Service Books how will that affect my device? I noticed that there were only 13 Service Book files in my Cincinnati Bell ipd file, while AT&T's file contained 50 or so SB files. Is there a reason for the large discrepancy in the number of SB files?
Some of the different features and apps from different carriers. It wont affect your device at all other than giving you back your browser. The only thing is I dont konw if this will work if your carrier doesnt support 5.0 OSQuote:

Yes, but the only way you are going to get the full browser back is to downgrade to 4.6Quote:

This may be true, but I certainly hope not. Cinbell has been notoriously slow in releasing new OS versions (relative to the official releases of other carriers').
That is the truth.. we have seen this with a few carriers that didnt have the correct service books(telus was one I think).Quote:

Opera Mini 4.2 still will not work properly, and the 3rd Party Apps I backed up are refusing to load (I get an error message saying "This application (.alx file) is not compatible with your device and cannot be installed.") **UPDATE** I was finally able to reload the backed up 3rd Party Apps (used DM instead of using Loader.exe).
Glad to hear. Some of your apps may need to be redownloaded so that you have the 5.0 compatible version but just run them and see. If you get errors or they freeze your phone up just delete them and download them again from where you got them to make sure you have the right version.
