Remember, if you are not experienced with loading the operating system onto a BlackBerry, please take the time to search the forums and read our BlackBerry 101 articles before getting started.
When it completes, you'll have a completely useless BlackBerry on your hands.įrom here you can use BlackBerry App Loader or BBSAK itself to load the OS. Before completely deleting the operating system and all files on your BlackBerry, you may want to consider backing up your email, contacts, applications, etc. There is no undo after starting this function. I do this for my windows machines about once every year.īeware. Sometimes you want to completely wipe everything off your device and start anew, with a clean install of the OS. Wipe OSHands down, this is my favorite feature of BBSAK. Trust me when I say downgrading an OS is a lot easier this way. To the average user, this probably makes to sense. BBSAK takes care of that, allowing you to keep multiple OS loaded onto your computer. And of course, all of this is before you load the OS on to the BlackBerry itself. It irks me to have to uninstall the old OS from the computer before installing the new BlackBerry OS. If you're an experienced BlackBerry power user, then you've probably installed your fair share of OS updates on to your computer. Pro Tip: BBSAK will restore the COD files that are located in the Backup folder you specify, located at C:\Program Files\BBSAK\Backup\. This process does take a while to complete and will be longer if you have many apps to be restored. While you cannot pick and choose what apps are restored from within the program, BBSAK offers a no-nonsense way of restoring your smartphone programs. Restore AppsPresumably after backing up your applications, you'll want to put them back on the BlackBerry at some point. The solution? Close the Desktop Manager and click "Backup Apps" again. This usually happens when both BBSAK and the BlackBerry Desktop Manager are both trying to talk to your BlackBerry. Though a quirk of programming, BBSAK can erroneously tell you that apps were backed up when they are not. If you do not see a list of COD files that were backed up, then the backup was not successful. Once you are done, you'll see a screen like the one above. Backup COD's (your application files) can be found in C:\Program Files\BBSAK\Backup\ After specifying where I want the complete backup, BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife takes care of the rest. All I have to do is make sure BBSAK can see my BlackBerry and then click backup. There's no direct way to trigger a simple app backup.
The Desktop Manager can handle app backups, but it's not the simplest way to do so. Creating useful backups of your Third-Party apps can be a chore.
