How do I add an application to my Blackberry Bold. I keep getting this msg:

“no additional applications designed for your device were found”

I followed every response given in this thread, including “I_know_how

Any help would be most appreciated. Very frustrating!

OK but what about the “.jad” files?
Anyone knows how to get those inside the BB if the device does NOT have data plan nor a SD card slot (like my 7290)?
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thx

I have been hearing about all your problems with the error message “no additional applications designed for your device were found” and people just having just general error messages while trying to download 3rd party software.
Heres the steps that worked for me:

After you have downloaded the zip file onto your desktop, open it (either automatically or using winzip or a zipping program) make a new folder on your desktop and place all the files in it except any instruction manuals, or .doc or .txt files. Those are just for you to read or know seperate from sending to the phone.

with your phone plugged in to the computer

On your desktop manager, open the application loader.

Depending on your version and model either click add or browse

a box will appear asking where the file is…. this is the tricky part….go to the new folder you created on your desktop…. you have to add the .alx AND the .cod file at the same time….so highlight the files or clicking one and holding down CTRL and clicking all the files, and click open. when you do this, you will notice the name of your application you want to download in the list now. Check the box for that application, click next or save, and then it will be in your downloads folder. For example I downloaded the mylocation application in my zip folder were 3 files .alx, .cod, and a .jad file. I highlighted all of them and it worked great.
I have the latest desktop software and I have the new Blackberry Storm, but it should be the same for most models.
Hope that helped!

My desk top is not recognizing the ota software download. It keeps saying that windows cannot open this file because it does not recognize it. What is another way I can download your software to change the color of the trackball. This would be a great help thank you.

I am trying to download the auto lock to my pearl. But the zip file is not availible at this time and I cannot figure out the ota install, please help. I clicked on the ota install saved it to my desktop, then when i try to open it say cannot find a program on my computer or the internet to open it with. And when i open my application loader and try to find it through that like i did with the color pearl i cannot find it. What do i need to do to load this on my phone? Please email me back. Thanks.

I just got a blackberry pearl thinking i could download readers and such from my desk top like the palm os, the tech support says I have to sign up for the blackberry plan with my at&t plan…at $40.00 a month plus pay as you use I can’t justify it.
