Thread: How To Run Loader Without JVM

If your device fails to connect while "connecting to JVM" during loading process you can try a force detect found here How To Force Detect Apploader - Desktop Software 6.0
or you can run the loader without the use of the java virtual machine. The following will guide you through the process.


To start you need to install a BlackBerry OS file that is specific to your device. The original version, as supplied by the carrier, is the safe choice, but you can use any model specific version.

Once the OS has been installed, you have to prepare it for the device software.

Go to "My Computer"

navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\vendor.xml
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\vendor.xml on 64 bit operating systems


Navigate to the bottom and delete the file Vendor.XML file. (also the computer may have a backup file of the vendor saved to
C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop)

Now you are now ready to restore your device. Verify that BlackBerry Desktop Manager is NOT running. Plug the device directly into the computer's USB port. (do not use a usb hub or splitter)



Windows XP: Start / Run... / Command

Windows Vista: Start / Command (type this into 'start search')

You will see a black window similar to this. I have used UPPERCASE to highlight the typed commands.




Windows Vista

CD \ CD PROGRAM FILES CD COMMON FILES CD RESEARCH IN MOTION CD APPLOADER LOADER /NOJVM

Windows XP:

CD \ CD PROGRA~1 CD COMMON~1 CD RESEAR~1 CD APPLOA~1 LOADER /NOJVM

When using Vista 64 bit operating systems the command should look like this... CD \ CD PROGRAM FILES (x86) CD COMMON FILES CD RESEARCH IN MOTION CD APPLOADER LOADER /NOJVM

When you hit enter at the last command a forced rebuild will start. Follow the on screen instructions and wait for it to finish. Thirty minutes is typical, DO NOT interrupt it.

Thanks to Reed McLay over at CB for most of the info.

Nice guide, LShap. Thanks for the contribution.

nice thanks

Hello!
Followed you Vista 64 bit operating systems steps, and it worked well until the "communication port selection " part. That's where it says nothing. I've tried taking out the battery, and waited for long periods and no luck.
