    still downloading the app. first off once i have all of the parts where in the .rar files do click to join up the parts and then install this app. i know this sounds stupid but well hey im new at this.

    Now coming to my suggestion to ‘Garrett Berry’ is to try to get your current carrier to ‘Change the Device’ associated with your BIS account.And then ask them to resend the service books. For some carriers you can do this yourself on a website managed by RIM for your carrier it goes something like ‘www.(carrier_name).blackberry.com’ If your current carrier does not off BB services then download Opera Mini for a browser and if it is possible then get GPRS/EDGE services activated. In the country I live in you have to have a BIS/BES account to get the GPRS/EDGE sevices working on the BlackBerry (I wonder if there is a way around that).

  12. Simon Sage says:

    Once you start extracting, it should pull the files out of the other parts on its own.

  13. bb bold. says:

    Any one tried this on windows vista…

  14. casefile101 says:

    thanks for that simon,

    once its all downloaded gonna try it on the(8310) my work gave me.

  15. BaRTiMuS says:

    Simon:

    Your post states that this program should be “installed”. When I extract all the files, there is no install file. All I can do is go into the \BIN directory and run the program from there. The issue with that is that none of those DLL’s in the \BIN directory are registered and It errors out when I connect a phone.

    Can you give us some insight into this?

  16. casefile101 says:

    Im nearly done downloading (on the last file ..finally!) Ive got a question about the OS upgrade. I am used to upgrading BB device software by first wiping the handset using the command line program and entering “javaloader -usb wipe” this incurs an error 501 on the device (essentially killing the current OS) this reduces the time taken during an upgrade. I believe because it does something similar to formatting the device memory. Now i have the following questions:

    1) Is it possible to run through Steps 1-7 as you have mentioned above and then upgrade using the cmd-javaloader wipe-desktop manager- application loader approach so as to not actually have to upload a new OS software?

    I have 4.5.0.81 on my 8310 and i dont think there is anything left to upgrade to. so i was hoping if it is possible to not have to downgrade then re-upgrade.

    2) Seeing as I dont have a STORM 9500/9530 or BOLD 9000 or the PEARL FLIP 8220. Do I have to upgrade my ‘Desktop Manager’ any further. I have v4.5 @ home and v4.7 in the office. I prefer to do this upgrade out of sight of my employer (as I could get fired for unlocking a BB, they are a carrier who makes a point of locking their BB handsets and refuse to unlock it for customers even when the customer goes roaming….i know evil, but what can you do?).

  17. Caed says:

    RIM removed the files! I need number 6 and 7!

  18. Ricardo says:

  20. Aaron says:

    Was this article posted anywhere else? I just wanted to know if the Verizon Storm uses a sim card and if all you have to do to unlock the storm is to delete the vendor xml file. I’m lost. I knew I should have copied this article. UGH!

  21. Aaron says:

    Can anyone please send me the file? I was too late to get the eight. Ha ha…that rhymed.

  22. Sentosa says:

  40. What you need SC is the MML set up. Here’s the link. MAke sure you have software for both desk top and handheld before NUKING the BB. Read instructions on the BB DELETE VENDOR.XML and there you have it.

    Here’s the link http://www.mediafire.com/?y2vmtmjhjmj

    Hi guys,

    Just to let you know, if you use the free method posted above it will Void your phones warranty;

    1) If you use a HARD UNLOCKING service that requires a TESTPOINT or other method of unlocking your phone via a CABLE – this will void you warranty.

    2) If you use a Remote Unlock with the proper SUBSIDY CODE from a 3rd party unlocking company or your network provider it will not void your warranty.

    If yor network provider refuses to give you the code or is charging too much for it(they charge $50-$200) you can purchase one from an AUTHORIZED reseller,

    one that I recommend is http://www.freeyourcellphone.com

    I work for the IT department of my Firm and we have used Freeyourcellphone.com countless times to unlock phones when our employees have to travel abroad.

    If you would like you can email me above if you need help,

    We just Unlocked 5 Blackberry Storms from Verizon Wireless =).
