updated the instructions

You should now have an icon that does not open. To correct this, follow the next step.
-Using BBHTool, BBSAK, or BBMCP, install these files to your device: Download Here
Files included are:
net_rim_bbapi_blackberrymessenger.cod
net_rim_bbapi_contactlinking.cod
net_rim_bbapi_sendmenu.cod (seems to help fix on older OSs)
- On reboot, you should now have BBM6.

Loader Install:
- Drag the contents of the download above into the OS folder your are installing.

I didn't have to install:

net_rim_bbapi_blackberrymessenger.cod
net_rim_bbapi_contactlinking.cod
net_rim_bbapi_sendmenu.cod (seems to help fix on older OSs)

I did have BBID installed already and tried to install BBM 6 yesterday (failed miserably) before .526 for 9800 was leaked.

Thanks Lyricidal! +1

How do you install the missing files using BBMCP?

[tumblingdice03]

******EDIT I now see the differences after more research...Thanks!! I followed the steps above and it actually shows the new version in my info but I don't really see a difference from the old bbm. Did I perhaps do something wrong or is there not really much difference?

I can confirm that this method worked like a charm on my 2 9780s

You can add it to the compatbility list if you wish

Do you use group chat and does it show in the message list? did you install this on the new leak .526?

I did the BBM6 OTA download, was not asked for keycode. Rebooted the device and my BBM icon was gone.
Downloaded the OTA BBID file, BBM icon returned.

Used BBSAK to install net_rim_bbapi_contactlinking.cod
net_rim_bbapi_blackberrymessenger.cod
net_rim_bbapi_sendmenu.cod

device rebooted after installing the .cod files, but i still can't open the BBM icon.

I am unable to send pictures to BBM contacts, when I do try send the box is blank. Anyone else having this issue?

[DenimDemon]

Seems like both options require a PC, correct? What if I'm running a mac?

[acrogenesis]

i did the desktop install i cheked my applications and it was there but the app didn't show up so i installed BBID thru the OTA, reboot, and it showed up. Thanks. btw after a few minutes of using bbm i got an email of bbm giving me a code for it did this happen to any of you also?

i can not get the desktop version to work, and the ota version isnt working for me either. i get the icon that wont open, but bbsak and bbmcp cant find the fix file. how do you get them to load the missing files on your device?

any lag or wait clocks?

[anon(835884)]

No

It's waaaaaay to early to comment..., but I think it's causing a bit of memory leak.

I did the OTA

[dictoresno]

I did the OTA

ok thanks. im gonna try desktop install and see if it works.

[dictoresno]

well i got it installed. i notice two things...

1.) upon reboot, it takes a few seconds for the BBM icons for friends to show up

2.) if i send a BBM right away after bootup it goes to a clock and takes a few seconds/minutes to send. after that, it seems to work ok.

anyone else see that happen?

i guess you opened your pictures first then chose the option "send to bbm contact" r8?

that happened to me as well. However, if you send the picture from bbm instead of media then it would be ok... so, open your bbm.. open the contact that you want to send the pic to.. then choose send image... then browse the image from there... it'll work..

[dictoresno]

way too laggy for me and saw a memory leak. once i went back to 5.0.3.13, i actually see a 6MB memory GAIN lol. ill stick without BBM 6 as for now.

[brynrees]

well i tried it on my bb9300 but it didnt work, i get the icon but it wont open. i loaded the cods using bbsak.. any ideas anyone ?
