I am attempting to unlock the vendor themes for my curve, i have read the unlocking instructions but couldnt find the .alx file.

So I realised i also have to download the OS onto my PC...is that correct?

Thing is I cant find one to match the OS on my bb which is vodafone uk and says v4.2.2.75 all I can find is

this

Can someone help me I seem to be an idiot.

I am downloading that OS version now and will post an .alx in the sticky with all the .alx's.

In the meantime you can edit your own Blackberry.alx by following the instructions in this thread:

That depends on what you want to do. If you simply want to add the themes then download the OS that is already installed on your BB. If that is 4.2.2.75 then download that OS. If you want to update your OS to the newer version they have posted then download that one, replace the Blackberry.alx and update the BB.

where would i find the matching OS and/or the new one?? is there any benefit it using the newer os..any improvement that you know of? thanks

[John Clark]

Um...you linked me to it in your first post?

[thetonyclifton]

thats very possible, i just wasnt sure, it seemed to be a different version...either way its ok to use that file?

[John Clark]

The second one listed on the site is 4.2.2.75

[thetonyclifton]

thanks i am off to see if i can unlock the themes then.

it seems to be taking forever to update the bb....i edited the .alx now running the uploader, I didnt know what to update or not (check boxes) so I just used the default which may be the hold up - its probably doing a full install.....but its taken about 15mins so far, is this normal? the progress bar is moving.

'waiting for device initialization' is taking up the bulk of the time.

[John Clark]

The process takes anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes. Give it time. You may see an hourglass on the device for up to 20 minutes. It's normal, just let it go don't unplug it.

[thetonyclifton]

yeah wasnt going to - too afraid it is restarting now nearly there...will see if it worked.

[thetonyclifton]

Quick question - can I still unlock themes (by following the instructions on the above link) if I'm running BES from my company? I'm assuming that when downloaded, the OS works on my PC solely to unlock the themes and doesn't intefere with any other aspect of the BB?
Is that right?

Thanks in advance for the help.
