I installed the MFI Multiloader software and followed readily available instructions for debranding and installing the most recent OS (I’m using 4.6.0.247 currently). I avoided using software to release the network lock and instead went with a remote unlocking service.

Somehow a side effect of using the MFI loader is that you’re prevented from using the 9000 as a mass storage device in Windows. I quickly found a fix on Pinstack (do a search for mass storage fix). The reflash worked (for me) and I can now transfer my own music, videos, images, etc. without installing the RIM Media Manager.

BTW – the Today theme by Marco (mobile link for OTA install) is super clean.
