Cux Tmobile just keeps dropping the ball. This is certainly a botched release.

Service books not right

Provisioning not right

Software not for the phone not right

Where can I find... BlackBerry.alx for the 8320 ? or can I use an alx from another 8300?

NJBlackBerry · 09-24-2007, 06:31 PM

tdawg00 is allowed to express his opinion, even though I totally disagree on all points

No Service Book problems.
No Provisioning problems.
Software is just fine.

And I've had an 8320 for a while...

Like NJ said, my own experience and other people as well are going through this as we speak........

I posted it in the first post of this thread.

serrano_yejo · 06:47 PM

found it

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

Sorry, I knew I put them somewhere. They are in the first post now. I had them in another post in this thread here.

*It might be possible to extract the .cod's for the IM apps and load them onto the other Curves, however, I don't have one to try it on.

http://www.blackberryforums.com/atta...-4.2.2.310.zip

Now that i found it I can't install it ... because i get Handheld Software (v 4.2.2.171) but the 10mb version so i cannot install it to my laptop...i dont have a Installation Path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files

bummer!!!

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

There is no "10Mb version." It's an error in your download. Keep trying until you get it. My guess is lots of people are downloading it.

I figured its not but I cant just download the right size

Helmdawg · **OS:** 5.0.330

How many themes are with the edited ALX file for 8320? Is it the same themes that came with the device? I think there are only like 3 or 4.

Thanks

Ophidian · **OS:** 4.6.1.239

Just keep trying, I was finally able to download it an hour ago.

Now I just need to figure out a way to get the IM clients onto my 8300

secrecyguy · 09-24-2007, 08:03 PM

There's already an update so soon after they put the 8320 for sale?

What's wrong with the OS on the phone right now?

Nextel User · 09-24-2007, 08:05 PM

it is the OS did you read the thread?

we want to edit the alx files

To install this software on any 8320: (If you just purchased an 8320 from TMobile then you likely already have this OS on your device.)

1. Download and install the latest Desktop Manager from here

2. Download and install the OS packaged linked above.
3. Delete the vendor.xml file located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Connect BB, open Desktop Manager and you should be prompted to upgrade.

To add vendor themes here is the link to the edited .alx files for this OS. There are IM alx's included as they were in the same folder and vendor coded to TMobile. When the other carriers come out with the 8320 this may allow them to work on the other carries. (just a guess on my part-John Clark.)

Edited .alx's

Check the bold type.

melodic · 09-24-2007, 08:10 PM

i just downloaded the 81mb one.

flash24 · 09-24-2007, 08:15 PM

Downloading the 81mb now

xploit · 09-24-2007, 08:18 PM

ok so...same deal as the 8100 here? wipe 8320 using JL_CMDER and then application loader to install the OS with no extra languages etc,etc?

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

Nooooo.....No need to wipe the device. Just install the software and then follow Rivviepop's instructions above.

xploit · 09-24-2007, 08:40 PM

so will it delete all the stuff autmatically?

xyrcncp · **OS:** 4.5.0.138

I'm assuming that once the software is installed the procedure to get rid of unwanted themes and/or MyFaves would be the same?:
http://www.blackberryforums.com/medi...tml#post653037

I haven't installed the software on my PC as I have not received my 8320 yet.

Did anyone else have the strange half-deleted languages like I did? I might have missed that with the flurry of replies....just interested if I was a lone soldier with that issue.

u have to take ownership of the file. add this file to the registry so u dont have to do it manually--> Easy way to take ownership of system files in Vista - WinMatrix

Ophidian · **OS:** 4.6.1.239

Well, I installed the AIM and MSN ALX's into my Vodafone 8300 folder, and put their .COD files into the Java folder (I stole all the files from the T-Mob 8320 version)

When I entered Desktop Manager it gave me the option to "check" them. So I've got my fingers crossed for my 8300

xploit · 09-24-2007, 09:12 PM

YES!!!! im at 27MB by deleting all the default pics it leaves a clean folder by removing--> net_rim_bb_media_320x240_b.cod form the java folder then run the APP LOADER.

Wow! I wonder if you can replace the media player files as well, and get the newer one on the 8300...

that's great! Is there a master list, somewhere, that maps these file names to meaningful descriptions of what's in them? This would make it a lot easier to start selectively stripping them out and making out machines leaner and faster.

Please note: Even if you already have this OS on your device you'd want to go through T-Mo's upgrade. I already had this OS on my device but could not use App Loader via Desktop Manager's upgrade provided by T-Mo. Only after I upgraded the OS (seems redundant but do it) that I was able to use the most current Desktop and the App Loader.

I didn't need to upgrade OS on mine... App Loader worked fine

That's great! I couldn't and only after an "upgrade" that it worked. I guess if you are having problems using the App Loader just do this upgrade anyway.

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

It's not really an upgrade. Rivvie posted about it here and tells how to take care of the "upgrade" box.
