Blackberry App World Issue - Update 3.1.0.56

CB.Mike-D · Thread Author #1 12-17-2011, 07:40 AM

I'm hoping somebody reads this, I don't know how active the Storm forums are these days

I tried downloading Blackberry App World 3.1.0.56 and I keep getting the message:
"Uncaught exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError"

I've tried installing it and restarting the phone.
I've tried un-installing it and re-installing it.
I've tried installing it and doing a battery pull.

Just about everything and I keep getting this message popping up after I install the app and when I try to click to open the app.

If someone could let me know whats going on that would be great.

Anyone!?!?!

Getting the same error as well Mike. You're not alone. Saw other people on another thread with the same issue. I have a Curve 8530 so it doesnt appear to be tied to a certain model. I tried everything you did as well, with the same results, before I came to the forums. Hoping someone has an answer.

I think this should be in the general form because I have the exact same problem on my 8530.
Question is; as it doesn't seem to be affecting a lot of people how long do you think it will take to get this fixed?
because I tried everything I could think of to get the update to work, I now have a phone with no apps on it and no App World to get them back.
And the other question, should one buy another BB to fix the problem or get an Android?

I have the Storm 2 with OS 5 and had the same error upon updating app world.

I went into options, applications, add ons and deleted App World. After a re-boot, using the PHONE browser, I went to:

RROYY - APPLICATION ARCHIVE

This web site has previous versions of BB apps.

I clicked on the link for BlackBerry App World v3.0.1.29 (OS5). This is a previous version.

It took me to the download page. It downloaded fine and works fine.

Good luck

I have the same problem with my Curve 8530 running OS v5.0.0.508 (Platform 4.2.0.230).

This really sucks. Now my BBM Music subscription wasn't renewed automatically because AppWorld doesn't work on my BlackBerry!!

I will download a previous version as suggested by gebco.Thanks for the tip!

Hello,
I am new and have a question. My son gave me his old BB Storm and I am having the same problem so I followed the web link and downloaded the file "BUT" I am at a loss at how to load it on to my phone. Could someone please be kind enough to walk me through it.

Thank you in advance

Matt

From what device did you download the file? PC or BlackBerry? If you open the link on your BlackBerry, the app should install when you press the download button.

Well, that raises a question as to whether you even need AppWorld, if you can't get data to the BlackBerry.

Leaving that aside, you could try BBH Tool's OTA Downloader feature. That will grab all the files you need.

Basically, OTA installs are links that point to a JAD file. The JAD file contains information about which COD files are needed to install the app. On the BlackBerry, all of that is handled behind the scenes and the CODs are just installed OTA to the device.

If you can't access the JAD with your phone, then you need an app that will take the JAD info and download the CODs to your PC.

Once you get the necessary files (and for AppWorld, there will be several), then you need to get them onto your phone. There are two ways to do this. First, you can use the handy ALX creator on the OTA Downloader panel of BBH Tool. Then, plug in your phone, point App Loader at the ALX file, and let it install.

You can also copy the JAD and all CODs to your SD card, navigate to the JAD using the Files app, and it will do a "local" OTA install.

And just to complete my random thoughts on app installs, the ALX file is basically the same as the JAD file, it just uses a different method (App Loader) to install apps to the BlackBerry.

Hope that's helpful.

Thanks again for the reply, I don't think I said that I couldn't download to my BB the wrong way. Maybe I should have said that I can download through the BB desktop but not through the web.

Thanks again

Matt

Had a problem too. Uninstall the old one and restart the phone. Visit AppWorld and download the new version. Worked for me, I hope it works for you as well.
