Ummmm ..... ya. Because all BB users have Sprint right? Ive been with Sprint, and never going back.

My very simple questions are, who posted the .ipd file in the first place? And why cant this person get the new service book and post it up?

Anyone figure out how to get Y! messenger working on AT&T using a MAC?

we need new service books now.... lol

Actually, I can do with the old version that worked. If anyone knows where I can download the previous version, I'll be happy with that. It worked just fine for what its used for. Even if someone has the file to load using desktop manager or download over the air, could you please post it for everyone that downloaded the new version and are screwed.

Guess that's what I get for tryin to always have the latest and greatest things, lol.

Please post this old version.... It worked on my AT&T Curve

Hi Folks,

New to the list. I've got a curve as well and I can't get YIM to work. I'll be back again looking for the service books.

Ciao,
Jessica

I did a switch device wizzard OTA backup a while back (see the FAQ) - looked in the files and YM is not there. So its not there for people to find the old version.

Look forward to the "new" service book being posted.

i believe if you want the old version and you have a 8320, all you have to do is connected your BB to DM and then app loader, and it will not recognize the upgrade and will want to downgrade back to 1.0.95 yahoo. anyone know how to get the current modules of the new yahoo on the comp, so i am not prompted to do this everytime? i want to add a theme and i can't without deleting yahoo...kinda frustrating...what do i do?

Well, as someone who had an extremely difficult time getting the service books for the AIM and MSN messengers for my 8300, I suppose it is time to return the favor. As someone stated before, it's still called BBFS2, but perhaps they changed it internally. In any case, have fun and good luck


p.s.
Sorry, I had such a rough time getting everything right on mine, that I put all my Service Books in this .ipd so just delete the extra ones

edit: I removed the Service Book attachment since Spencer made a much better one. You can find it in the 1st post of this thread.

Thanks Ophidian, we appreciate it.

Hi Folks,

Thanks so much for that new service book. It worked great on my first try.

I'm on AT&T and I can only imagine that they disabled YIM to force folks to buy an SMS package. Being a bit paranoid, is there any way I can confirm that this new YIM is -not- routing chats thru SMS? I'd hate to get hooked on using it only to find that at the end of the month I have 4323 SMS messages at 15 cents a pop!

Thanks,
Jessica

Don't worry, it definitely uses data and not sms

I have that on my BB BBFS2 and it doesn't work for me. Must be a newer version of it. What's it say when you open it from the BB.

Hi Folks,

When you install the new service book, if you go into profiles before you reboot your device you are able to see the previous user's email address. This seems to disappear once you reboot. I'm only posting this here because I'm not sure what other personal information might be tucked away in a service book and I thought you all might want to know before posting others in public forums.

Eric, sorry to post this here, but I lost your email when I rebooted my BB and was unable to write you directly.

Because I am on BES and BIS, it will not let me add the Service Book. Can anyone send me or direct me to a download of the OLD VERSION OF YAHOO MESSENGER?

OK, i am on BES and BIS, and my service books were read-only. So I deleted the Service Book DESKTOP SYNC. Then with desktop manager I added the yahoo service book and yaho works! Great!
I then registered handheld through host routing table, then resent service books from BIS.
Everything appears to be working, but I am still missing the service book DESKTOP SYNC. How do I get that back? What does it do?

You'll need to regenerate your encryption keys via the Desktop Manager. It must be installed for BES usage, and it MUST MUST MUST be on the PC connected to your BES (i.e., your work email). You should also be connected to your work network when you regenerate.

I appreciate the heads-up, I actually deleted those service books before I did the back-up. hmm, lame.

Well, if anyone (hint: Spencer) wants to make a shiny-new backup of the service books from their phones with the books I posted (wow that's a confusing sentence) that would probably be the way to go, to avoid any further confusion.

i just wanna say thank you for the updated service book!

I did have yahoo working on my pearl. Then I changed something. I tried to erase and redownload everything. I am getting an error: uncaught exception java.lang.erro

Lol, no joke, I'm talking to you right now, as we speak.

Always make sure to uninstall the old version and rebooting before installing the new version. Since the uninstall of the new one and the reboot didn't seem to fix it (same error after reboot), you'll want to go ahead and update the OS on the device.

Just got off of the line with ya. Glad your Y!M is up and running again. ^_^ Enjoy!

anyone have the old verison????

I do not have the Desktop Manager...is there any other way to get Y!Messenger on my phone?

yup, just by using the search button, you can find all kinds of crazy things to do with ur blackberry... you should try it! click the "search" button... then type in "yahoo! messenger download" and look for your answer. think of this place as an encyclopedia britannica... you have to locate the question you have, before finding the answer.

i will help you once and one time only... here is the link you need.

Jeez ... little bit caustic, there, aren't we, db?

yeah, just a lil...

Hey spencer I have a question:

I have my pearl 8100 through T-Mobile and I recently installed the Y!M application. it installed just fine but when I tried to sign in it says "server does not support handheld"

Now, this pearl is just for my personal use, I dont have it set up with any business and I dont have any other SIM card to work with so I was wondering if you had any tips on how I can fix this problem? Everyone I talk to on any messenger is on yahoo so I could really really use this app.

Thanks in advance

Jake


P.S. dunno why I went and got a blackberry haha I am not that tech savvie.

Nevermind

I'm retarded haha I figured out what you guys were saying in the original post on this thread and I got it to work. Thanks a hell of a lot Spencer and Ophidian! You guys rock!

Thank you Spencer....I had used your instructions before to get Yahoo working on my 8700C and they worked great.

I tried downloading the new client and all H*** broke loose.
I tried wiping out my device and starting over but to no avail.
I have been able to load the new service books and the new client (listed under the applications) but I cannot find the icon anywhere for it.

anyone....please help....desparately need Yahoo on my BB

Just wanted to say thanks, after downloading the new service books, I have successfully got yahoo to work on my 8700c.

Arghhh Keep getting "service not enabled for this handheld" on my blackberry pearl. Have tried 3 times to make this work. Can see the yahoo service book on the phone, followed the steps each time. The only thing different I can see is that when I resend the service books to the phone, I just get confirmation of setting up my email accounts, rather than a message which tells me the service books have been reinstalled - is that right? Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hey guys, just had to say that I did a search this morning, found this page, followed the steps, and had it working in less than 30 minutes. Thanks a bunch!

Worked for me too - and I am on MTN Nigeria.

Did anyone notice that you cannot see any MSN contacts online on YIM. Seems this is a bug on the 2.0 ?
