BlackBerry AppWorld 2.0.0.36

Print

My earlier version of App World was working just fine, until yesterday. Today morning, however was getting an error:

BlackBerry App World is having trouble connecting to the BlackBerry App World Server. Verify your network connection bla bla.

Interestingly enough, the bloody thing works fine over WIFI. Just won’t work on the Mobile Connection. Doesn’t really make that much of a difference (to me, anyways).

While at it, decided to upgrade to App World 2.0.0.36, now that it’s out of Beta. How to upgrade? Well this is what worked for me:

  • Switch off Mobile Network. Connect to the WIFI
  • Go to www.BlackBerry.com/appworld on your handset
  • Click Open with BlackBerry App World
  • Upgrade

UPDATE:

Seems like some people are getting an error of missing COD files. Well, here is a workaround for that. You will need to install this using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.

Firstly, remove all existing App World files/installations from your BlackBerry. At times, removing them from the device might not be enough. Connect to the computer using AppLoader and make sure that it doesn’t appear anywhere in the applications list. If it’s there, delete it.

Once you have confirmed that nothing relating to App World is on your device, download the COD files from here and unRAR them onto your computer.

  • Connect your device using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
  • Go to Applications > Import Files
  • Navigate to the unRAR’ed folder and locate the ALX file (AppWorld 2.0.0.36\net_rim_bb_appworld.alx).
  • Click Apply.

Once I was done with that, going into My World showed that I needed to get a BlackBerry ID. Got that done too. Connecting via the Mobile Network, I now get a new error:

BlackBerry App World is not currently available in your country. Please check BlackBerry.com/appworld for updates.

However, having absolutely no issues over WIFI. Ah well, it works - one way or another.

Hope this helps. I am not using AppWorld. I had this version working fine on my 9700 while I was on OS5.

Once I upgraded to OS6, it wouldn't work anymore. To be honest, I didn't bother much with it.
