did you delete the vendor.xml file before you plugged the bb in and launched DM?

chopstix · #**123** 07-08-2007 -

yea, i did. that's whats confusing me.

**cherrichiodo** · #**124** 07-08-2007 -

well, if you are currently running the att os, then it isn't going to prompt you to do anything...

well when i connected it, it auto syncs and nothing popped up and it didnt reboot. so i opened app lpader and hit next like the instruc and nothing happened. So i tried to actually load the 2 files but it said that no additional applications were avaliable....

what do you mean auto-syncs? try downloading the new aussie OS, then we'll edit the blackberry.alx file (i'll post it if need be) then try the process over

ok, so dm is re-installed and the shared folder is gone.

chopstix - DM isn't what creates the shared folder. download the Operating System for your device does.

here are my short instructions:
1) download the OS
2) install the OS
3) edit blackberry.alx file
4) delete the vendor.xml file
5) reboot pc
6) plug bb in
7) launch DM

ok, so do i put the two edited filed in the shared/loaderfiles or in shared/loaderfiles/8300-v4.2.2.89_P2.4.0.39? ...and os is installed as well now

**cherrichiodo** · #**130** 07-08-2007 -

ok, not sure about that one...is it the blackberry.alx file? if so, it goes in the latter, because it needs to go into the os files.

Okay chops,
it goes int he last one you mentioned with the 8300-XXX numbers. That is the OS folder.
Your OS is installed on your PC at the moment, but not installed on the phone till you run it with your desktop manager.

chopstix · #**132** 07-08-2007 -

its updating now...taking a while but we'll see how it goes

**cherrichiodo** · #**133** 07-08-2007 -

i've seen it take up to an hour

chopstix · #**134** 07-08-2007 -

excellent....thanx...i really do appreciate it!

AceBB · #**135** 07-08-2007 -

I've got a nub question... Now that all of the themes are unlocked does it make sense to edit the file again and remove the themes I dont want on the phone? Will this save any space? I didn't think about it before hand and I can't remember how much free space there was so I have nothing to compare it to.

Thanks.
