Because you have not installed the OS to your PC yet. Either that reason, or you are not looking in the correct folders.

Nothing in DM... you should see Backup/Restore, Sync, Application Loader, etc.

After opening DM, click on App Loader > Add/Remove Programs. Your App Loader may not notice any changes, but continue the steps... and at the end of the process you should see some text about updating core software, removing browser daemon , etc.

ok i think i know where i got confused at...it's all coming together

ok i see what you're talking about through the DM but when i got into it and followed the directions i was unable to find anything that said net_rim_bb_browser_dameon module The only thing i saw that was anything related to this was just "broswer" and there was no way of clicking on it

OK, once you have performed Step 2, (removing the browser daemon cod from the java folder) and run Step 3, there is nothing for you to do in step 3 other than to run App Loader. The App Loader will recognize that the browser daemon cod has been removed from the java folder, not see it, and remove it from the handheld device. Just click next. and continue. During that next process the App Loader will run and you will see (if you look quickly) the browser daemon being removed.

Then, the BlackBerry will reboot, sometimes slowly. On reboot you should (might) see a java error on the BlackBerry screen.

and do what do i do if i do see an error with java? if i'm suppose to do anything at all?

Proceed to step 4. the Java error I mentioned above is supposed to be there (because you have DELETED the browser from the Storm). You will be installing it back very shortly

ok went through most of the set up and got my e-mail on the device but still no browser icon nor does step 8 reflect what my device says (which is blank)...i've rebooted...am i just not patient enough lol

[HoosierFam34]

and to add to that i can receive MMS either but i'm assuming that's because i have no browser??? i can get e-mails so why not MMS?

In step 8, you want to enter that information yourself for the TCP/APN settings.

The TCP/APN settings will NOT get your browser back, it only helps with third party apps and APN access.

If you still haven't got the browser, you've goofed up on one of the Step 1-7.

Did you load the Service Books in step 4?

[HoosierFam34]

yes service books are there...so how do i get the browser and receive MMS?

[JSanders]

Have you pushed the service books to your device as in Step 7?

Not that I am not asking IF the service books are on the device, but if you actually loaded the service books from your PC via the Restore > Advanced window in step 4, and did the push of the SBs in step 7.

All must be done.

[HoosierFam34]

yes everything has been done

[JSanders]

Then, if you have no browser option, it's not complete. Something was missed.

I can't say what was missed, I don't know, it's a long tedious process, I know.

Did you load the browser daemon cod back to the java folder and rerun App Loader?

Are you getting EDGE or edge on the device?

And for the MMS, that is a service book issue, so it will relate back to completing all the steps in the instructions.

It's just hard for me to determine where you went wrong without sitting over your shoulder watching you do it. The best I can do is to say, just do it all again... from Step 1 on down all the way, you can't skip a step or do it out of order.

[HoosierFam34]

it does say EDGE not edge...i'll give it another go

[HoosierFam34]

on step 3 what are you meaning by "work your way through the process" what process...it doesn't look like i need to do anything

[HoosierFam34]

well i tried to continue on and completed as stated now the e-mail that was on there isn't anymore..........
