Using the BlackBerry Javaloader
You can use the JavaLoader.exe file to perform low-level, debugging, or loading operations on a BlackBerry. JavaLoader.exe is a powerful tool that can be used for various administrative tasks on the BlackBerry, however most users (and admins too) find it difficult to use.
This guide is relevant for all USB java models (in theory serial/com port models are the same, but you must specify the port the device is attached to rather than USB)
Notes:
- If you are looking for information on setting a BlackBerry back to factory settings (to remove security policies for example), please see Resetting a BlackBerry to Factory Settings
- This guide only covers those JavaLoader utilities which we have experience with, if you have experience with the other utilities we'd be glad to add the use here (contact us please).
- We use output redirection to save some of JavaLoader's output to a text file, to display on the screen rather than save to a file remove the "> file.txt" portion of the command.
- These commands must be run from a Command shell (Win9x: Start --> Run --> command, Win2000+: Start --> Run --> cmd) and in the directory (folder) where javaloader.exe exists (typically: C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.0bin).
- WARNING: The Javaloader.exe tool should be handled with extreme care, particularly when used for wiping devices, loading modules, or removing modules. EndUserGuides.com, BlackBerryGuide.com, drewiebe.ca, and its affiliates take no responsibility in the use of this tool, use at your own risk. Please read our disclaimer for more information.
