Pretty old news! ju1ce discovered this in the forums almost 2 months ago:

You should also point out that after you upgrade/reinstall the OS, not only will you want to install this again - but you'll also want to restore your sound settings.

When you do the upgrade it will try to restore everything for you (from the automatic backup) but the "old" ringtones won't be on your phone so it won't work. When you do install them again, you can go to Desktop manager and do a restore again. If you want, you can just do a selective restore and restore only the item "sounds".

I still find this highly confusing - even months later. This install will put audio files in your 'ringtones' app (is it an app?). If you change profile settings you wont see all these files in the drop down, instead you have to select media and find the file. Why can't we get the audio files in the drop down list whenever we see the ring tones drop down list?

how can you install them one by one? is there a link where you can find the files and just email them to yourself?

Mine were in my ringtone file already y do I need to reinstall OS6

After I installed the OTA of the ringtones, when i try to assign one of the OS5 ringtones i receive a message that says "invalid selection". Do i need to reboot after installing the file?

I have a question. Is there anyway to do the reverse? Get the OS 6 tones on an OS 5 Device?

If there is already a thread for that, can someone point me there?

I also found this a while ago in the forums and I wish there was a way to download the tones individually as I only use 3 of them. I guess its not THAT big of a deal, but its still wasted space and extra tones to scroll through.

I've personally never understood why RIM eliminated so many ringtones in making the transition to OS 6. At least in that respect, 5.0 seems clearly superior.

Thx buddy

I did that a few weeks ago and my 9650 started acting weird so I deleted them.

My favorite alarm to wake up is the evolving seaside on 6.0. I always wake up before the tone turns in the annoying alarm sound. Hopefully somebody knows what I'm talking about..

Dude, your the man. I was pizzed when I upgraded to OS6 on my 9700 and found I lost the Ringer_ClassicPhone ringtone. Thanks.

If you save the ringtones to your SD card you never have to reload them.

I miss the alert for BBM and email.

If someone could please correct me if I'm wrong, can I go back into my back up file from OS5 right before I updated to OS6 and restore the OS5 ringtones or is this asking for too much with such an easy task?

Sorry to sound a little slow, but I don't want any mishaps, but yet would like a few of the ring tones back.

Thanks!

nice app

I'm having issues trying to use os5 ringtones. They don't always work. I guess I'll stick to os6 tones.

Do these ringtones work on the Torch 9800 OS 6.x.450? I took a gander and installed it but it does not show up on my list of ringtones? ANy ideas as to why? Newbie, help appreciated!

Tom

I keep getting a 907 error on my torch when I try to download :( Any advice from a more proficient user?

*EDIT* Bahahaha! Sure. Seventh/Eighth try is a charm.

Thank You for the post. This is just what I have been looking for.

Thank you my wife was ready to kill me after the OS6 upgrade..Thank you again

I've tried clicking the link a couple times. Both times, the progress bar has gotten all the way to the end, and immediately my Bold 9650 freezes so that I have to pull the battery. Any thoughts/ suggestions on how to get these ringtones without clicking that link? Any way to do it through BB Desktop?

worked fine with Bold 9650 just now. best to go to link thru phone on wifi and it worked great. went to change sounds for profiles and all OS 5 were there.

Thank you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I had upgraded to a 3G Curve and just gotten the hang of things and set it up the way I wanted when the upgrade came... after that, I lot all my ringtones, and I could never hear the damn thing ringing!!! I've got my fave ringtones again!!! yaaaay!!!!

Awesome and thanks. I keep coming here everytime I upgrade an OS or swap devices.

Thank you OP, I don't see any significant performance improvements from OS5 to OS6 just aesthetics, and actually I think my web browser is slower now. I guess it's back to using OperaMini

Thank you!!!

Just did this on my new 9900 with OS7 and it worked just fine. Thanks, now I have something to choose from. The 990 with OS7 has very few chooses out of the box.

just did the same thing as j10too. Loving it!!
The selection in Os7 is crap! This set of ringtomes is problably the best set of all the ringtones BB has come out with!!

Works in Curve 9360 OS 7.

Thanks!

Yes indeed the Ringtones came into the Ringtone section of Media. Thank you to the ones who got them ready for us to download. What I would like is the OS5 Wallpapers. I really don't know if anyone will see this post either. Don't know how to start a post either--I'm new to Crackberry.

Does anyone know how to download the old wallpapers of OS5? The Ringtones are great.
Thanks
