- New to CrackMem 3.1. Running .86 on Storm 9530. I selected to remove Facebook & Flickr on the CrackMem menu but they are still there on the device under Applications. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.01-17-09 09:57 AMLike 0
- BB 8300 running 4.2.2.89
want to upgrade to latest. trying to use CrackMem to perform upgrade. followed directions to the "t". Upgraded BB desktop to latest (4.6), downloaded CrackMem and latest BB OS (4.5). Ran CrackMem (with device plugged in but no desktp running) and received "No OS found" message.
Does new OS need to be in a certain directory?
Doesn't even find my existing OS - odd?
Should I use the standard BB101 upgrade instructions instead of CrackMem?
Surely, the problem is btwn the chair and the keyboard - hopefully someone can help. Thanks in advance.01-17-09 12:09 PMLike 0 - thanks i have just figured everything out and started removing things i did not need.
Is there a list anywhere that shows how much memory these items use on the phone?
i removed the carrier themes, wallpapers and video. Is there anything else that i should remove that would free up more space?
At the bottom there is another box that says RENAME DOCUMENTSTOGO alx FILE
Rename to OLD or ALX?? What exactly is this and what should i choose. I read the help section but cant figure out if i should change it
I have the storm 9530 with .86 OS

Ran Crackmem 3.1.. found new OS. Executed checked actions. Then ran loader (per version install thread), new OS installed ok w/extra memory avail but found that deleted items weren't all deleted, most notibly vendor theme and vad (most annoying).
So, I deleted installed OS folder, re-ran install OS. re-ran CrackMem. Then deleted vad files manually from java folder. Then ran apln loader. Said no changes needed. So, how do I kill VAD?? LOL
>> next attempt...
Re-ran apln loader. said updates avail for many system files. said to update. came back w/msg "the system aplns that are currently installed on your device are newer than those available with this version of the BB device software. click options if you want to install older aplns" -- clicked options -- warning "adding this s/w will downgrade your current aplns. do you want to continue?" clicked yes. showed screen w/apln upgrade details and looked at modules.. said installed version 4.5.0.124 - available version 4.5.0.81.
But, where is .81 coming from. I don't have anything but the download file on my system. The only OS in program files-shared-common-RIM-shared-loader is 8310-v4.5.0.124_ps.7.0.92
Does any of this make sense??Last edited by sheldonbk; 01-17-09 at 11:53 PM. Reason: Added >> next attempt

- OK I know its been answered here in the 50 some-odd pages, but here I am. Sprint 8330 wanting to upgrade to 4.5 OS, using DM 4.7, Crackmem 3.1, followed instructions, everything fine until step 15 in crackmem, I click on DM and nothing happens, it wont open, also I am disconnected from the Internet. I can open DM without Crackmem, while disconnected from the internet and it will show the new OS, I selected it, checked which options I wanted to load, clicked next, and a warning came up: "after upgrade you will need to activate wirelessly to continue to use BB services" what the heck is this? I cancelled install, and here I am01-18-09 11:41 AMLike 0

So whilst the post install trick works (provided you have the exact same OS on your phone and on your PC) most of the time the best way by far is to do the removals right before you install to the phone.01-18-09 01:45 PMLike 0 - Pete6Retired Moderator

Thank You
Thre is a very comprehensive Help file in CrackMem. I know, I wrote all of it. There is an explanation of the DocumentsToGo.ALX to .OLD function there.01-18-09 01:53 PMLike 0 - Pete6Retired Moderator
I now remove more files because as new OSs and phones have appeared, I have updated my program but the guides seem to have remained static.
However there is no substitute for knowing exactly what you are doing and if you take the time to learn how to remove each and every file on every phone and every OS then, Sir, I have work (unpaid, same as me) for you.Last edited by Pete6; 01-18-09 at 01:59 PM.

On a side note, I've been thinking about doing a short series of Newb Guides and wanted to do a step by step of dumping files with pix using crackmem. Do you think this will be okay?
Wanna get your permission first beforehand. Lemme know. Will do one with the next OS update.
Cheers and keep up the great work!01-18-09 02:30 PMLike 0 - Pete6Retired ModeratorFor sure Pete, any time!

I also need to write a whole new section in the Help file. If what you write is as good as your last pictorial guide then I'll stick it in to the help text and give you credit if that is OK.01-18-09 03:17 PMLike 0
