How to jad/jar without OTA
 

I have a blackberry pearl 8100. I dont have a data plan and so cant do OTA installs. I have some programs in jad/jar format and want to install them... How can I do so? I can connect the pearl to my computer with the cable and have the DM installed. I have the latest version that I downloaded not too long ago and I also have bluetooth... Any suggestions? Thanks.

a search "jad convert" would have shown

Sorry. Thanks for pointing that out to me... Is there an option B? That one seems way too complicated.

put the files you want to your memory card, and then install them from the phone, it works like ota

This is what I do, It is nice and easy.

I never thought to do that before I got my data plan. Guess it doesnt matter now haha

btw troydbrown love the avatar hilarious

I love your avatar as well, Foamy is my hero!

ya... but how? i cant seem to view anything other than pics and audio and other media type files.

how are you viewing and launching jad files you upload to your card?

When you are in the media gallery applicaton hit the menu button and click explore. Then find the jar files...

i was having the same problem didnt want to do ota.. wow that was easy.... thanks so much...

Oh I forgot here is an old writeup we did with pictures on how to do this

what happens if you get an error code 907 about some invalid code and file not found?
