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
Tested on Javelin and Bold so far… Not sure if it will work on other devices!STORM Users:
1. Download the following .Zip file: RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting – Easy Filehosting

@Ben – First, this is for non-storm BB device, so if you try this on Storm, it is not going to work. For storm, you need to check back at the forum.
Also, it is not working on BB OS V5.0 and above. Some even try it on V4.7, and not working as well.

Hi All, I have Blackberry Curve 8520 in malaysia and this thing work.
My OS is 4.6.1 so i choose 4.6.0 link.
If you want to find your OS, press Alf-Shift-H and find the App Version.
This is OTA (On the Air, so you need to type the link in your BB device, not from your PC)
I also share links for other OS.
Enjoy !
OTA BlackBerry App World 1.0.0.30 (Freeware)

@Jojo, check the device compatibility before install any app. You may want to restart your device after any installation

Thank you kindly for the information. I did as mentioned. And got all the way to CMD, where I typed in the commands and then it rebooted.
However after the reboot, nothing. ? What am I missing here?
First of all, thanks for the great post.
Second, which one of these link that works in Bold 9700?
I tried the last update, but it gave me a “.jad” file which not support it by the device. How can I install that?
