Unlocking the phone

I used this one.

Install Blackberry Desktop Manager version 4.7 (https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22)
If it asks if you want to do automatic updates say no - we don't want a newer version.

Make sure you have .NET Framework installed or get it from here (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads)(version 2 is fine also)

I downloaded the firmware for my model of Blackberry from members.a1.net/updateservice/bb/. Install this on your PC
then go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file vendor.xml

Install MFI MultiLoader from here (http://www.mediafire.com/?y2vmtmjhjmj)

I then spent hours downloading the following files from Rapidshare (it takes hours if you don't pay rapidshare as they
restrict your downloads)

http://rapidshare.com/files/190760622/BB.part02.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/190760681/BB.part03.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/190759086/BB.part04.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/190759100/BB.part05.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/190760607/BB.part06.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/190760570/BB.part07.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/190758440/BB.part08.rar

Extract these and copy to "C:\MML" overwriting all files there

Now open MFI Multiloader and connect the phone to the computer via USB. After some time it will show 'PASS' in green.
[picture to come]

The phone will show a 1 on the screen like thus.

Now disconnect and on the blackberry keyboard type START

Shut down MFI Multi loader, reconnect the blackberry and open blackberry desktop manager

Click Application Loader. Click Start in Add/Remove Applications When the Device Security Password dialog box appears if
you don't have a device password (I didn't) just click next. If the Communication Port Selection dialog box appears. Click
Next. Click Next.

To add any of the base applications provided in the list, select the check box beside the application. This is a good point to
pause to download Opera Mini unzip this somewhere then back in Blackberry Desktop Manager.

Download Opera mini Attached below

Click Browse. Select the
Opera application loader .alx file. You can do this with any other .alx applications you have found that you also want to
install. Click all the Nexts and Finish. It will take some time for the software changes to be applied so make sure you have
left yourself enough time to wait around, you don't want to brick the phone by having to unplug it and leave the house
before it's finished.

Setting up Data settings
As we have no Blackberry service books we need to set up the TCP setting directly. On the phone go to Options >
Advanced Option> TCP
APN:
GLOBE:http.globe.com.ph
SMART: internet

Username for APN: (any name)
Password for APN: (any password)

Ta-da! you now have data. Note that the built in blackberry
browser will not work without the servcie books - this is why
we installed Opera Mini, this is now the web browser you need to use.

Installing further applications
As I have mentioned neither the builtin browser or email work without the service books so we need to find replacement
applications that will work directly with the TCP settings.

I have installed:-
LogicMail - for my work imap email
Gmail - gmail account
UberTwitter - for Twitter
TwiXtreme - you can never have too many Twitter clients
IM+ - for Skype
GoogleMaps - you guessed it

Now if you can find the .alx files for these you can install them via the application Loader method above using your
(windows) PC. However that's not my style and I wanted to get back to Linux as quickly as possible...
Linux Java Application Loader
I found this great blog l on how to use Barry to do all klinds of things with your blackberry from a linux machine. I am
going to detail now the bits I found useful.

Firstly rather than compile from source I found a PPA and just added ppa:doctormo/barry-snapshot to my sources
list. I updated the respository and installed Barry via Synaptic.

Some useful barry commands
b i d e n t i f y
b t o o l - t ( - h )
b a r r y b a c k u p

But the one we want right now is the Java Loader
b j a v a l o a d e r - h

To use the java loader you first need to grab .cod files of the java applications you want to install

To get hold of the .cod files I downloaded OTA Loader and ran it under Wine. You need to find the .jad file URL for the
app and paste it into OTA Loader it will then find the individual .cod files and download them for you. I have linked some
of the applications I use in the list above.

Download OTA Loader Attached Below

If you are having a problem finding URL's to .jad files then follow this guide (http://www.kleinfelter.com/node/147) which neatly shows how to use the User
Agent Switcher extension for firefox to make it look like you are browsing from a Blackberry and you will be able to
access the .jad files/URLs in the same way you would if you were installing direct from the phone.

Once you have all the .cod files then just load each one as shown in the following syntax example
b j a v a l o a d e r l o a d u b e r t w i t t e r . c o d

There are usually more than one cod file for each app and you need to load them all before the app appears on the
phone.

Now the Blackbery is unlocked, set up to use data via TCP settings with no service books and is customised with
applications for browsing, email and twitter. Now perhaps you understand why I am not quite ready yet to part with 500
nicker for a state of the art phone.
