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. | |
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). |
