I am trying to link a BB smartphone to one of the new BB Playbook devices for a user on AT&T. I see on the crackberry site that AT&T is not supporting the software until their testing is complete however the article lists a manual work-around where you can install OTA anyway. Unfortunately the download link is not working for me, I get a 404 error. Anyone else running into this?

I also wonder if the files are out there so that this software could be pushed from a BES. So far I have not found it.

Could AT&T be blocking the work aound too or is this just a temporary problem?

Thanks in advance for any ideas, comments or suggestions that will help me get to the bottom of this!

Dropbox link is broken. Any alternate solutions?

I agree that the original article links appear to be broken. However, I was able to load the software OTA today on both an OS5 device and an OS6 device using the site Najo referenced in the earlier reply.

Thank you so much Najo!

I'm going to tell my story and hope it helps other frustrated ATT users out there.

I updated my playbook last night to 1.0.3.1868 and left downloading the new bbm and bridge phone apps for today. i recently updated my bb bold 9700 from os 5 to os 6 because ATT finally released it. After upgrading, i lost my bb app world icon. searching the forums i heard that you must perform a security wipe on your phone to get it back. I wish i hadnt because after performing the security wipe, my BES email service didn't restore as planed. i had to contact my IT guys to reactivate my email. After doing this and a few soft resets on my phone, Still no app world icon. I deleted the app world app by going to Options - Device - Application Management - Blackberry App World - Delete. In my google app, I did a search for Blackberry App World and downloaded the new one from the browser version of app world. After that my App World icon appeared. I then proceeded to update bbm.

After updating bbm, I noticed I was a version behind, no wonder why it didn't appear on bridge yet. After installing the new bbm it showed up. My new problem was I was receiving a 404 error on every bridge app that opened. Only item that worked was to un-install the blackberry bridge app and install the new one that Najo linked above. Its the new version. Finally the 404 error resolved but I had yet another problem.

Only my messages, contacts, and memo pad would open. All the other bridge apps closed right after opening them. Back to google, I found a work around on bb's help website. You have to basically unpair, delete, and repair twice, then perform a restart on the playbook. Now, finally, everything is working.

KB26643-'Unable to start application - error code 13' error message is displayed when trying to open a BlackBerry Bridge application.

Thanks Crackberry community for the help.

I still love my playbook!
