I apologize in advance that this is likely a stupid question. My wife has an unlimited data plan with Sprint - not a BIS or BES plan. I have been trying to download Opera on her Pearl vis USB cable, but have not been successful. When I use the Application Loader from the BB Desktop Manager, it says the file is not found. When I download Opera it comes in a zip file with two files (extensions .alx and .cod). How come I am having such difficulty with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unzip the file then in Desktop Manager >> Application Loader select ADD and select the unziped folder, then the file...

Thanks. Unfortunately, when I try that it says, "Error: No Additional applications designed for your device were found."

Do I need to have a .alx or .cod decoder on my computer to transfer it through USB?

Hi

When you select ADD in the Desktop Manager applicaton loader you need to find and click on the .alx file, this puts it in the loader, then select next then next again ( I think ) then finish.

If you get the 'no applications found for your device' error again you need to download and install the Operating Sytem version for your device from your carriers website onto your pc. Then do the process again.

To find your Operating System Version go to options > about.

Hope that helps

If my operating system is V4.3.0.71 is that not the correct version? How do I get the right operating system to be able to use Opera? Thanks for all your help.

do you have the OS installed on the PC as well? it has to be on your device and on the PC in order for the BB to recognize software to be installed

[azpearl]

Can you help me how to check to see if the OS is installed on the PC? Thanks!

[Dawg]

go to control panel add and remove and see if its listed

[azpearl]

It says 4.3.15 (which appears to be different than the one on my phone V4.3.0.71). Can you tell me how to get them the same?

[Dawg]

find a carrier that has the same one and install it.

[azpearl]

Still having issues finding the same operating system. Does anyone have a link that they could pass along? Thanks.

theres a link in there for the software once thats installed, you can load it throu DM

[azpearl]

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

[azpearl]

If I use 4.3.0.71 for my OS on the Pearl and BlackBerry Desktop Manager v4.3, that should allow me to download opera to my pc and then USB it to my pearl, right? Am I missing anything?

[dankarlinski]

4.3 is the newest DM

if your software on ur computer matches your phone, it will woork fine =)

[azpearl]

Yikes. Both my OS are 4.3, but I am still getting an eror "NO Additional Application Designed for you device were found". UGh.

[dankarlinski]

hm. thats really weird. turn the phone off and reconnect it without powering it on. it will power on by itself and windows will try to install drivers for it. that might help with something

[azpearl]

No luck either. I'm sure I am missing something small, but it is frustrating. Is there any other way to get Opera onto the Pearl without BIS or BES access?

[azpearl]

Thanks for all your help.
