When I go to <c><program files><research in motion> the only folder to click is "blackberry".
When I go inside that folder, nothing says apploader, or vendor.xml

I need some help, take it easy on me, i'm new. Trying to the the Bharti Loaded, I already downloaded it and installed it, and now i'm trying to delete the vendor.xml as states in Seattle18 step 2.

Thanks

hah, i think my blackberry despises me already.

I changed vendor.xml to vendorOLd.xml, as stated.

Step 6-B, states locate <shared><loader files>

I definetly don't have that... When I go into <c><programfiles><commonfiles><researchinmotion> my choices are:

<apploader>
<modem drivers>
<rim device manager>
<usb drivers>

Not one of those four folders has a subfolder called "shared", or "Loader Files" for that matter

I think that is b/c u have not installed the os yet. After you install the device o.s onto your computer those directories are created.
I think?

Not sure if your BB hates you, but you haven't followed the instructions at all.

1 - download the handheld OS
2 - Execute the handheld OS you just installed
3 - delete VENDOR.XML
4 - Start Desktop Manager.

Exactly what I have done

1) I went to the Control Panel and uninstalled BB 4.1

2) Download Bharti

3) Install Bharti

4) Do not click "Launch Desktop"

5) Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader and delete or rename Vendor.xml (renamed vendorOLD.xml)

6) There is no "shared folder" in <C><PROGRAM FILES><COMMON FILES><R.I.M>

My four choices are:

Apploader
Modem Drivers
RimDeviceManager
USB Drivers

Some body hook me up! I'm at the end of my rope



4) Th

maybe i did everything right. i assumed that after installing bharti, ZEN theme would be under setting>options>theme

I still only have the regular 5 themes

Desktop manager and the handheld os are two different programs. Install your desktop manager 4.1 or 4.2 which ever you would like. Next install the handheld software Bharti.
Re-boot your computer (may not be essential) but not knowing your computer os it's best.
When back up and running look in those directories for the file(s).

[NJBlackBerry]

If there is no SHARED folder then you didn't install something properly.

There are two components - Desktop Manager and the Handheld OS. Are you sure you have both pieces.

[NOMADGAMER]

Hmm. I'm not sure what I actually have.

The CD that came with my 8700c sayas "blackberry Desktop Software"

And When I downloaded from Blackberry its a Zip File that is titled "41013dt-MultiLang"

And the "blackberry.alx" file is in a Zip that is titled "8700-Bharti-4[1].1.0.466"

Am I missing a piece to the puzzle?

[NJBlackBerry]

You downloaded the Desktop Manager AGAIN.

You *must* download the HANDHELD OS FOR THE 8700 BLACKBERRY.

works now, just a few kinks to work out like how to get BIS back

after a hard reset, everything works perfect.

Thanks for NJBlackberry for your help!
