Install Blackberry App World in Restricted Countries
Thanks to this post at Crackberry Forum, I have my Blackberry 8520 installed with Blackberry App World. You don’t have to wait RIM to roll out App World to other countries, because using the workaround stated in that post will enable every Blackberry devices to have App World installed.
I know, it is annoying if you can’t install Blackberry App World if you live in countries not yet listed to receive that service. Without apps, the device is just another smart phone on the market.. without soul and boring. As I had said before, RIM is pretty slow in expanding App World, but well.. I don’t care about that anymore now.
Here is the instruction taken from there (credit to Manuelant, member of Crackberry forum)
1. Download the following .Zip File RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting
2. Unzip it to your desktop
3. Copy the files net_rim_bb_appworld.cod, net_rim_bb_appworld_resource_en.cod and JavaLoader.exe to the following folder depending on your Windows OS:
3.1 In Windows Vista “C:\Users\(Your User)
3.2 In Windows XP “C:\DocumentsandSettings\(Your User)
4. Start CMD (Windows Key + R and then type CMD)
5. Plug-in your BlackBerry
6. Type: javaloader -u load net_rim_bb_appworld_resource_en.cod
once done type next one:
7. Type: javaloader -u load net_rim_bb_appworld.codAfterwards your device will reboot and you will have it installed on your device

I also tried the Update 20-Dec-2009 with instruction, and it loaded everything “done”. But when I check my phone, I couldn’t see the app. What’s wrong there?
I’m running a bold 9700 using 5.0.0.442 and neither of the updated links is working for me. Anyone know what I can do? I’ve been getting the same error as ezz when I try the bit.ly link
I also get the 907 COD problem on my blackberry bold 9700 running 5.0.0.443 when i use the bit.ly link. The other link end up just telling my that it can’t install on my unsupported device
