@palak Delete the file you downloaded and repeat the process. 907 errors mean the downloaded file is corrupted in some way.

I’m trying to upload .jar files on to my blackberry bold, and it said it would not read the file name.
I’m trying to find the .alx file,

Hi there
thanks for this guide, its great.

my desktop manager says my BB is connected, and I can send photos etc via usb.
But when i follow these steps to add alx. apps, it doesnt give me the “add” option… it just shows me the things that are already installed.

i can not find the same apps in jad or anything else other than alx. and cod.

can anyone help?

Wrong!

There is no Add button in Application Loader!

What a waste of time.

I believe it would be possible although the bundling of the DM exe may cause you some problems with the RIM legal team.

Your best bet here is to contact RIM directly and ask them what their policy is on this type of thing and perhaps they can steer you in the right direction regarding the driver downloads.

Hello,

Our company is developing an application for the Blackberry. This application requires a RIM driver (for their smart card reader) to be installed. Our sales peeps feel that the current method of installing the driver through the Desktop Manager is going to be too complex for many of our end users.

The OTA method may be helpful in this regard. Do you know if it’s possible to download BB drivers in this way? I.e. could we grab the driver and make it available through a link on our site?

The actual method I was researching when I came across your article was scripting the Desktop Manager. That is, we’d like to distribute a CD or file that included the DM exe and that ran the DM exe and used a script or command line options to install the driver and our application without the user actually clicking around in the DM. Do you have any idea if that’s possible?

Thanks so much.

If you can not find the application in either the downloads folder or the applications folder, try un-hiding all icons on your device. You may have a folder (sometimes messaging or others) that is hidden by default or by choice.

Your app may be in a hidden location.

I´m developing an application with TotalCross (old SuperWaba) to run at a BlackBerry Storm.

I´m using Netbeans 6.5 and JDK 1.2 and Black Berry JDE 5.0.0. I´m able to compile the
application with Netbeans, and I get the HelloWorld.jar file.
After that, I created a the files, like HelloWorld.alx, HelloWorld.cod, etc under the path /install/bb.
Then, I signed the application using the SignatureTool.
So, I opened the Desktop Manager, I clicked at Application Loader option, then I clicked at Start button under Add/Remove Applications option and then I pointed to HelloWorld.alx file at my desktop. I got the message:

The loading operation was successful.

My question is: where can I find HelloWorld application at my BlackBerry? I searched at
Downloads tab, but there´s nothing there.

Thanks a lot.
