Default SUCCESS: Dumped Sample Pix
Greetings Folks,

While the update to .83 was less successful for me than others, a silver lining of being able to dump the sample pix was a nice bit of news for me.

Here's how I did it:

1. I back uped my storm (highly recommend this to all who have yet to practice this)

2. I went into c> program files > common files > research in motion > shared > loader > java > the largest file in there is the sample pix. File name is net_rim_bb_medialoader_backgrounds_360x480_t.cod

3. I just moved this file to another location

4. Run the OS update and BAM! You are 5mb richer!

Happy dumping folks!

EDIT: MAD PROPS TO JRSCCivic98 WHO GUIDED MY WAY TO DUMPING HEAVEN! JRSCCivic98 sorry for missing the cred!

FOLKS! Before you can find these files (as many of you have been unable to do this) you have to install an OS on your computer. Unless you do this, you WILL NOT find the needed folders.

You must also have the "Show Hidden Files" option selected

Honestly, if you are not familiar with your PC or your phone, you prolly should not try this.

Proceed at your own risk. I do not claim any responsibility for bricked phones or otherwise.

What's funny is that apperently it takes a girl to get this going. lol

I reported being able to do this like a week ago and nobody but you have been able to make this happen. Yeah, girls rule!

Anyway, if you look in that folder, there's another 360x480t file right above that, I've been deleting both cods myself to free up the memory.

Why can't you just delete the sample pictures manually from the phone? Do they get reinstalled when you do a sync or something?
