cojac5d, Welcome to PinStack.

As N8 asked, where are you having problem with the procedure? Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help with this.

I downloaded the software from the rim site, but I don't see a Telus fileset anywhere.

What do I need to do?

[Rcbjr]

fabb, did you execute the downloaded file?

Rcbjr.

[fabb]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~i did. download the exe file and I foud. the info but nothing telus. specific.

[Rcbjr]

Well, since I haven't done this unlocking, I'm going to have to bow out now and let someone that has help you from here.

Sorry
Rcbjr.

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~i did execute the file but I can't find vendor code 102 anywhere.

Fabb, did you open the Blackberry.alx file? Scroll down a quarter of the way? Starting with Cingular fileset you should see many different carriers in there. Find all that say qwerty and whatever code is in there replace it with yours. If there are more than one code, replace all with just your one code. Good luck.

I found an even easier way to do this on the 8703e/Verizon.

1. Go to Verizon's Blackberry OS Software download site.
vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry (no www)

2. Download and install the BlackBerry Device Software v4.1 (updated 9-25-2006), to the default installation folder. Note, this happened to be the exact version that was already on my Blackberry.

3. Go to the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\8703e-v4.1.0.344_P2.2.0.149\Java" folder.

4. Copy the 12 files in this folder with names starting with "net_rim_theme_*********.cod" to a new folder on your desktop.

5. Open Notepad and create a new file named NewThemesLoader.alx in the same folder that you copied the 12 files to.

6. Copy exactly the text below into this new file and save it.

<loader version="1.0">
<application id="newthemeloader">
<name>MoreThemes</name>
<description>Used to load new themes to Blackberry</description>
<version>1.2</version>
<vendor>Just Me</vendor>
<copyright>Copyright 2006</copyright>

<fileset Java="1.0">

<!-- Cingular -->
<files>net_rim_theme_102_320x240.cod</files>

<!-- Verizon -->
<files>net_rim_theme_105_320x240.cod</files>

<!-- Bell Mobility -->
<files>net_rim_theme_109_320x240.cod</files>

<!-- Orange Theme -->
<files>net_rim_theme_119_320x240.cod</files>

<!-- Vodaphone -->
<files>net_rim_theme_120_320x240.cod</files>

<!-- Vodaphone Today -->
<files>net_rim_theme_120_today_320x240.cod</files>

<!-- O2 Icon Theme -->
<files>net_rim_theme_125_icon_320x240.cod</files>

<!-- O2 List Theme -->
<files>net_rim_theme_125_list_320x240.cod</files>

<!-- Dimension List Theme -->
<files>net_rim_theme_bb_dimension_list_320x240.cod </files>

<!-- Insight Icon Theme -->
<files>net_rim_theme_bb_insight_icon_320x240.cod </files>

<!-- Insight List Theme -->
<files>net_rim_theme_bb_insight_list_320x240.cod </files>

<!-- Dimemsion Icon Theme -->
<files>net_rim_theme_blackberry_320x240.cod</files>

</fileset>
</application>
</loader>

7. Connect your blackberry to your computer and use the Application Loader to load the NewThemesLoader.alx file onto your Blackberry.

This should be it. This is close the way that this thread suggested doing, but I did it this way cause I didn't want to load the entire Blackberry OS and risk corrupting something, this just loads the themes.

[hondaguy900]

Note: You can also get the Dimension_Zen and Dimension_Today themes by downloading and installing the 8700g software from T-mobile. software.se.t-mobile.com (again, no www).

[hondaguy900]

Not sure if anyone is refering to the instructions above, but I just found out the following the hard way...

If you include the factory loaded themes that are already on your blackberry in the above code, and then go to remove it from your applications list later, ALL of your themes will be removed (including the factory ones) and you will just have a default "None" theme.

If this happens to you, reload the themes that you want individually and you should be OK.

The better way to load themes is to create one ALX file for each theme, such as the following...

<loader version="1.0">

<application id="Theme-BB_Dimension_Zen">
<name>Theme-BB_Dimension_Zen</name>
<description>BB Dimension Zen Theme for Blackberry 8700 series</description>
<version>1.1</version>
<vendor>Nobody</vendor>
<copyright>Copyright 2006</copyright>

<fileset Java="1.0">

<!-- Dimension Zen Theme -->
<files>net_rim_theme_bb_dimension_zen_320x240.co d</files>

</fileset>
</application>
</loader>

I can't seem to find this shared folder. I've looked in the Research In Motion in the common folder area but it is not there. I've also did a search for *.alx files and nothing appeared. Am I missing something?

[Rcbjr]

drkfantom, Welcome to PinStack.

Until you install the OS for your BlackBerry on your PC, you won't find these files. Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help with your BB.

Found it. Would help if I installed the correct stuff the first time. :-P

Used hondaguy's suggestion, created 2 separate alx files for the 2 themes I wanted - used the application loader - loaded fine. I can see the themes in the applications section of my advanced options BUT they do not appear as choices in the Themes area so I can activate them. I have checked the permissions,etc (and they match existing themes) - any ideas? Thanks-David

Do they appear in the modules section? Go to Options > Advanced > Applications > click the trackwheel and select Modules. They should be towards the bottom, example: "net_rim_theme_bb_dimension_zen_320x240." If they don't appear, then it probably wasn't loaded properly.
