Where do i find the BB OS to install to my PC. This is the first step listed in the instructions for getting the internet working on my BB storm

I want to start off by saying thank you for the great instructions. I have an unlocked 9530 and everything is working great with a solid EDGE connection. After doing everything I looked at my buddies Blackberry Curve he has on at&t also. The error I have found is in this step:

8. On your Storm go to Option > Advanced Options > TCP/APN should say
APN: wap.cingular
Username:WAP@CINGULARGPS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1

The correct username is:WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

I found that on his. Thought that may be helpful

thank you, corrected

In the Sticky Notes at the top of this same 9500/9530 section where you found this thread posted.

I didn't paste a link to a specific OS release, as that will change from week to week.

Hi, thanks for the great instruction.

I ran into a problem at point #7.Go to AT&T BIS Page log in and resend your service books. I cannot compete the registration, it is telling me, that device is registered with different carrier (phone comes from Verizon). I followed the instructions:
1. In the Application list on your device, click Options, or click Settings Options.
2. Click Advanced Options > Host Routing Table.
3. Click the Menu key and click Register Now.

The Host routing table still says no entries - might be ok , I don't know.

The phone keeps giving me error, when I try to use any data application:
"There is insufficient network coverage to process your request. Please try again later."

I am using SIM card that is activated for internet (for laptop internet air card) and also I have one activated for Iphone data. Phone is unlocked, I have few ATT icons on the screen.TCP/IP connection set&correct, enabled.

Update - I got the Verizon navigation working, weather etc in that section working too. I tried to remove the battery when on too.
Thanks for your ideas, I am working whole day on it and am out of them.

I must have missed a step and probably need to start over..

I unlocked the phone (9530 on verizon)
Installed the latest software (.122) while removing the vendor.xml using loader
Have DM v4.7 installed
Have a bb pearl on ATT with a bb plan

I ran in to trouble on Step 3. - "remove the net_rim_bb_browser_dameon module" nothing came up in the apploader screen and I got the message "No software is available for your device". I probably should have stopped there, but I pressed on...

More trouble at Step 6. - "Plug in device and open DM > AppLoader > Add/Remove > and proceed your way through. You will see net_rim_bb_browser_dameon.cod file being replaced." Still got the message - No software is available for your device

Was able to complete the Step 7. Now go to AT&T BIS Page log in and resend your service books.

But I don't have the info in step 8. "On your Storm go to Option > Advanced Options > TCP/APN should say
APN: wap.cingular
Username:WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1"

What I have is :TCP/APN
APN: emgsm.bzw3g.com
Username:
Password:


Also there is no browser present.

So, how can I start over?

Thanks!!!!

got it done with a utility over at cb. also ended up with the .132 software.....

Which of the DM version do I need to use with the 9530? I downloaded the 4.7, but when try to do step 3 for the ATT directions above, I cannot get the files on the phone to come up...I updated the OS on it to the 4.7.122 before I started this process. I need some help, please.

still dont understand...what utility...the phone or the desk top on the computer? JS could you please help me?

I think there is some problems with the newer versions of the device software that is not allowing step three above to complete as expected. There is a post on the first page that describes your (our) exact problem. The solution is there but you need to search. I don't think it is good form for me to link to another blackberry forum, but the solution is there.

Another issue that is cropping up is the edge/EDGE cycling. There seems to be an issue with the current radio files and how it accesses TCP. The end result is that EDGE cycles to edge every time there is a TCP request to the network.

Version 4.7.0.75 does not exhibit the problem if you want to go with an older software.

A temporary solution that seems to be effective with more recent software versions is to disable the APN settings. I found in my case the edge/EDGE cycled for about 10 minutes and now it is locked on EDGE for the past 10 hrs.

However one caveat is that when Third Party Software that needs access to the network is installed, it will try to access TCP. This will force edge. The suggested solution is to change the options in the Third Party Software to use BIS. I have not tried this as I have no Third Party Software installed yet.

Okay...thanks. I will search it out.

I'm in the process of unlocking my Storm, and I cannot seem to find the "net_rim_bb_browser_dameon.cod" anywhere. Where would it be located?

npor, look specifically where step two states:

2. On the PC, go to C:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\ResearchInMotion\Share d\LoaderFiles\OS version\Java.

Your browser dameon cod will be located there.

Mike, I've not had a problem at all with Step 3, even on .132, .122 or any of the releases.

I had a problem with step 3. There were things left out that I needed to know...I am not a techie. I finally found a crack utility and step by step instructions that walked me through all of the process without any hitches. For those getting ready to do this or in the process of doing this, you have to have YOUR valid ATT sim card in the phone with a BB data package. Getting the passwords and username to save in the TCP/APN was the other drawback....it doesnt stay if the mobile network still connected to Verizon Wireless network. Turned it off and the apn info was there when I went back to TCP to check. Had to activate the phone though host routing table and did hard boot. Finally hit jackpot at 1 am this am...I didnt have to send BIS from Att to phone...thank goodness since 1-dont know how 2-couldnt remember my password/username and it kept saying that it was registered.
There are a lot of good things here, but please remember there are a lot of us that arent techies but are trying to learn how to do some of these things with our phones and need the spoon feeding.

Well it must be something with my setup then.(although I tried it on two separate computers)

I tried with version .122 and .132 and I never got to the place in step 3 where I could add or remove net_rim_bb_browser_dameon through DM v 4.7. Only when I wiped the device and loaded .75 could I get to step three through the DM.

One other thing that may be relevant, .122 and .132 would NOT load through the DM for me. I used the loader application in the software package to install the software.

I would always recommend using the loader.exe file to load an OS, as all of the new OS threads on this forum instruct.

On Step 3, there is NO place in the process where you choose the browser dameon to add back, the loader process simply compares the software on your handheld device (not having the browser) and that on the PC (having the browser dameon reloaded to the java folder) and proceeds to reload it. Once you hit next, you will see the language in the process window indicate that the browser is being loaded to the handheld.

I just think you might have been expecting somewhere to in Step 3 to make that choice, but it isn't there, it just happens.

I think I understand now. In step three you are having the DM check to see that you have no browser file loaded and then when you come back in step 6 it installs the replaced browser file?

I guess I am just thick, I must have screwed something up along the way with expecting something to "happen" in step 3.

I am glad I got it working, but your directions are the simplest and "safest".

Thanks for your contribution to this forum!

Hello All. Long time reader, not a big poster, but i did want to talk about this as i just moved my storm over to AT&T

i'd like someone to chime in if they see any problems or something i may be missing. i didn't have to do many of those steps to get my storm to work on AT&T. i did get it unlocked, and i had to change the number that appeared on the screen, as well as go into mobile network options and change it to GSM. once i did that, i rebooted the phone and it came up capital EDGE.

now, i don't have the usb cable so i couldnt' do the service book swap, so i thought i was SOL. i assume (may be wrong) that the service books is what gives you browser and data capabilities. i checked my service books and i saw that provisioning showed up, so i thought "well at least i can setup BES". so i had my email reprovisioned and activated it. well as part of the email reprovisioning, apparently our email provider (usa.net) downloads EVERYTHING because i got my browser working, some additional code modules, my BB messenger contacts, as well as the standard email/cal/address book.

so here i am right now installing FB and all these other apps on this storm and it seems it's 100% functioning w/out swapping service books.

am i missing something? has this happened to anyone else or does this make sense or am i lucky that my email provider provisioned me with the proper service books? just wondering what some of you pro's that understand this more have to say about it. Thanks!

I'm sorry but how is this any different then sending the service books to yourself from say telus.blackberry.com?

Nope, this instructional is for those who need the additional steps, not all will need if the carrier does not push the proper service books over.

Your carrier pushes the service books, not the email provider. In some cases, being on BES, you won't need to perform the service book loading either.

How do I remove the file? I don't see how to find it in DM.

This is the last thing I need to do before I can actually use the phone, so any help would be appreciated.

I also have the same problem like "one028". Need help please....

i did everything but there is one thing i cant figure out? do i need to have a different data plan on my at&t service since i have the BB storm 9530? or can i still keep my iphone 3G data plan. cause i keep reading that i need to have EDGE when i only see edge in lower case letters. anyone please help asap

Help!

My only options at: Common Files- Research In Motion-

are

AppLoader
Auto Update
BBBI Drivers
BBWebSLLauncher
Modem Drivers
RIMDeviceManager
USB Drivers


Which do I chose??!

No offense to the writer of this process but I think you need to be more specific.

I am having trouble with:



3. Plug in device and open DM > AppLoader > Add/Remove Programs and work your way through the process to remove the net_rim_bb_browser_dameon module.
Close DM on completion.

Okay so I finally finished but I'm still not getting my internet working.
I followed every step as best as I could and in the end I DO see step 8.
Now what?

Need advise please. I have a Storm with AT&T now and it is working perfect. Followed the instructions and they worked great. I tried to install some of the apps that I normally use (I wiped the handheld and installed Verizon OS from their site cuz I had beta OS 141 before).

The problem is that I’m installing the apps and I don’t see the icons. I see them listed under applications and when I go the App world it says they are installed. I also checked that they are not hidden.

Any idea what could be happening? And if I upgrade to 122 do I have to follow the steps that I already went thru to get it to work with AT&T.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can somebody help me out with step a) installing os, and b) installing desktop manager...followed the link but didnt know which one to download....how do i install my os to my pc.

For you OS install... follow the instructions in this link:
http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...ilanguage.html

For the Desktop Manager install... download verison 4.7 withOUT Media Manager, install the DM to your PC by double-clicking on the file which you downloaded.

Look in your "Downloads" folder.

Yes, you will need to follow the procedure again as outlined above with any OS upgrade or reinstall.

On ANY BlackBerry, you will need THE BlackBerry Data Plan for uppercase EDGE. The iPhone plan will not work on a BlackBerry.

If you don't see the "Shared" folder, then you probably have not installed an Operating System to your PC.

If you have performed Step 2 above, then upon running the App Loader, you won't see any apparent change UNTIL you complelete the App Loader, and then you will see a message that the "net_rim_bb_browser_dameon will be removed". Just do this step in faith... and you will see.

i made it all the way up to step 6. i didnt see the file being replaced. what am i doing wrong...i proceeded to send the books on step 7...didnt work..am i supposed to see the stuff on step 8 if i did everything right or put it in myself

On Step 8, you may or may not already have the APN entered there, likely not., or you could see the Verizon info entered.

On Step 6, without details, all I can ask you is IF you did perform Step 5?

Anyone out there using Storm with AT&T has any issues with getting EDGE with Beta OS or other carrier OS. I had VZW .75 and I was always getting EDGE all the time no issues at all but I upgraded to .141 and it could never get EDGE, i had to do a battery pull all the time to get EDGE back and then it will go away shortly after that.

I read about in this forum that some versions of the OS have issues getting EDGE connection.

Can anyone with ATT tell me which OS are you using and if you are getting any issues with EDGE, I want to upgrade a newer OS. Thanks in advance

I have.

Go to Manage Connections > Mobile Network Options > Network Mode > change 3G & 2G to be 2G only and exit.

Then go to Manage Connections > Mobile Network > and UNcheck your service, wait for it to show OFF in the signal indicator area at the top of your screen, then return and CHECK your Mobile Network to be back enabled.

You should be ok from there once it reaches EDGE again.

Thanks JSanders and thanks for your response on my previous post
