JL_Cmder *Updated 11/7/2007* -

I know many of us on this forum have to support BlackBerry devices in one way or another. I really like using the JavaLoader utility, from the BlackBerry JDE, during my troubleshooting. So I made myself a little batch script called JL_Cmder to manipulate JavaLoader for me. I figured I would share it with everyone else on the site. To install JL_Cmder just extract the files and run Install.cmd. Or, download the single file installer package.
Note: The screenshot command will only work if your BlackBerry is running OS 4.0.2 or higher.
If anyone has any suggestions you can leave a note in this message thread.
The JavaLoader switches it uses are: deviceinfo, eventlog, radio, screenshot, and wipe. For commands that list information from the device JL_Cmder will automatically expor the data into text file for easier reading/modifying. When using the screenshot command all you have to do is type in the name you want to give to the picture. Since the wipe command is a little more dangerous (nukes the device), I added a number of confirmations.
Nothing really fancy, but it gets the job done for me.
I uploaded a new attachment. JL_Cmder does the same thing as before, I just reworded a few things and made it a bit more modular. I also uploaded a screenshot for those who are interested.

Hannah - The screenshot function does not work except for the 7100 and 8700 (guessing) series BlackBerries. This is not a issue with JL_Cmder, but rather with javaloader.exe itself. JavaLoader was not able to capture the screenshot and save it to disk. JL_Cmder does not currently look for the existance of the screenshot, so you see an error when attempting to open a non-exsistent file.
As a work around, you can download the BlackBerry JDE Kit. This will install a number of BB simulators which you can capture screenshots from the simulator itself.

I am not a programmer, so no laughing at my fancy interface. If anyone has any suggestions you can leave a note in this message thread or send me a PIN message. Keep in mind that due to my company’s policy, I can receive PIN message but not send them. So don’t expect a reply to a PIN message.
Enjoy,

Thank you for your application, I finally got it to work, great neat little app, I had been looking for this for a long time.
Uploaded a new version of JL_Cmder. The primary change is the addition of an uninstall option (see thumbnail above). An empty directory is left behind at %ProgramFiles%\JL_Cmder.
Do you have the handheld software installed on your computer? IS your USb connected directly to the port and not a Hub? It will sometimes not find it on a Hub.
It work perfect on my 7105t, just one suggestion, when capture screenshot, can it be change to jpeg instead of bmp.
Edit" I mean default save as jpeg instead of bmp"
Unfortunatlly no. JavaLoader saves files in BMP format. JL_Cmder is is simply executing the commands built it to JavaLoader. After the screenshot is saved it is automatically opened in whatever application is set to open BMP files. Right now, all you can do is save as into JPG format. I will see if I can come up with something to make this automatic.

Reason: Corrected incorrect statement

Got it figured out. Bad USB cable. Kept losing connectivity. Replaced cable and all is well. Able to wipe and do the 4.1 install without a hitch.
it keeps crashing on my windows xp machine whats wrong?
Honestly, I don't have any idea what the problem might be. JL_Cmder is a simple batch file that executes JavaLoader command-line options.
I would suggest trying to execute JavaLoader.exe directly (C:\Program Files\JL_Cmder) and see if the problem continues. If it does, then its not my batch file causing the problem. You might want to make sure that your computer is set so that it does not automatically reboot on BSOD. If you get the error message from the BSOD it may help determine the problem.
