HOW TO MAKE THE BLACKBERRY BROWSER
WORK ON A REGULAR (NON-BIS) DATA PLAN

You should back up your device and
apps. There is a step at which you
could erase a lot of important stuff!

1. You can back up your phone settings
and some data using BlackBerry
Desktop.

2. You can back up your third-party
apps (including the OTA apps) using
BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife

3. Before beginning, make sure to set
your APN. The instructions are on the
introduction page.

THE PROCESS:

1. You need to have BlackBerry Desktop
installed on your computer. If you
don’t have it, get it:
BlackBerry Desktop
2. Download the Anworm service books.
Anworm Service Books
If that link breaks, search for
"Browser_via_TCP_all_network_beta_V1.1.ipd"
and you should be able to find them.

3. Connect your BlackBerry device to
your computer with a USB cable. If
BlackBerry Desktop does not start
automatically, start it.

4. On your BlackBerry, go to Options >
Device > Advanced System Settings >
Service Book.

5. Hold down the 'Alt' key and press
S B E B. You should see a message that
says, "Legacy SB Restore Enabled."
Press Okay.

6. On your computer, in BlackBerry
Desktop, go to Device > Restore.

7. Press "Change" and navigate to the
folder with
Browser_via_TCP_all_network_beta_V1.1.ipd
file in it. Press "OK." You should now
see the file
"Browser_via_TCP_all_network_beta_V1.1.ipd"
listed in the Restore window.

8. Click on
"Browser_via_TCP_all_network_beta_V1.1.ipd"
to select it.

9. Under the heading "Select Data to
Restore," select "Select Device Data
and Settings” and then tick the box
for “Service Book."

Step #9 is really important.

Make sure it's done right. If you
screw it up you could end up wiping a
lot of settings and data, but then,
that's why you did the backup, right?

10. Press "Restore" and answer "Yes"
to the confirmation dialogue.

You're done. Your browser should work
over your cellular data connection.
There is no need to reboot the device
in order for the new service books to
take effect.


NOTE:

If you have problems, you can use
BlackBerry Desktop to restore just the
service books from the backup you made
using the BlackBerry Desktop software
before beginning. The procedure is
almost identical to the one above (on
step 8, use your backup file instead
of
Browser_via_TCP_all_network_beta_V1.1.ipd,
and on Step 9, tick only the box for
service books).
