How To: Load (Almost) Any Game or App On Boost and Nextel

2010-05-26T08:36:00.002-06:00

With over 57,000 freely distributed Java applications available, I'll never be able to download, test, package, write up and post all of them.
You don't have to wait for me to post your favorite game or app. This tutorial shows you how to load Java applications on Boost iDEN and Nextel phones using Sprint/Nextel's ADP iDEN Content Uploader, which is a web based developer tool. This method does not require a data cable but it only works with phones on Boost Mobile or Nextel USA and requires access to a PC.
These instructions are based on using Windows XP because that's what I have. As far as I know, everything should work the same on Vista or Windows 7. Users of other operating systems will have to find alternative programs for creating .JAD and .ZIP files but otherwise the process should be the same.

Find the game or app you want to load and download it. The best selection of free legal mobile games seems to be at GetJar.com. Other good download sites include Mobango.com Phoload.com, midlet-review.com and Mobilerated.com. Many more can be found using Google.

A Java game or app consists of two files; .JAR and .JAD. The JAR (Java ARchive) is the actual executable file. The JAD (Java Application Descriptor) is a text file describing the JAR's characteristics. iDEN phones require both files in order to install. Some sites, including Getjar, only provide the .JAR, but the .JAD is easy to create using a program called JADMaker.

If you already have both the .JAR and .JAD files skip to the next step. If you only have the .JAR file - download JADMaker.zip. Unzip the contents into a folder and then run JADMaker.exe by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer. Still in Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder with the .JAR file and drag it into JADMaker, which will to create the .JAD in the same directory as the .JAR.

Create a .zip file containing the .jar and .jad. There are many programs that can create .ZIP files. I get good results using the ZIP file utility that is built into Windows XP, Vista and 7. To use it highlight both files by holding Ctrl and clicking them. Then right-click the selected files and choose Send to and then Compressed (zipped) folder (image above). If you get a dialog box asking you to "Designate Compressed (zipped) folders as the application for handling ZIP files?", click "Yes"

Open the ADP iDEN Content Uploader at http://144.230.114.35/adp1/FUN/index.jsp (image above).
Enter your Boost or Nextel mobile phone number in the field labeled PTN:
Click the Browse button and navigate to the folder where you created your ZIP file.
Click the ZIP file and then click "Open"
Click the Upload button
The rest of the process is the same as if you sent the app to your phone from BoostApps;
Press the phone's Menu button.

In the menu, highlight Games & Apps (called Java Apps on some phones) and press OK.

In the Games & Apps Menu, highlight Download Apps and press OK.

In the Download Apps Menu, select New Purchases and press OK.

Scroll down and select your new game or app, they are listed in alphabetical order. Press OK and on the next screen click the left soft key labeled "Get It" and the download will start.

When the download finishes, close Download Apps and your will be prompted to install the new game or application.

If the installation was successful you will see the new game or app in you Java menu. Try running it.

Sounds easy, right?. Well it is except that it doesn't work over half the time. Lots of things can go wrong. Here are some of the problems and what you can do about them.

When you go to new purchases, your new game or app isn't there. The most likely cause is that you entered your phone number incorrectly. Try again and remember to enter the number with no dashes or spaces, just ten numbers starting with the area code. Do not put a "1" in front of the number. There also seem to be a small number of phones that both BoostApps and the ADP iDEN Content Uploader just don't work with. Its probably a provisioning error by Boost, but as neither BoostApps or the Content Uploader are supported by Boost calling customer support is unlikely to help. I'm sorry but I don't have a solution if this happens to you.

"Failed Download with status code:904 (Attribute Mismatch) Please Retry" at the start of the download - This is very common. It seems to be a bug in the Content Uploader. The solution is simple. Rename the zip file and upload it again. It doesn't really seem to matter what you rename it to. I usually just add or remove a letter from the file name. In a few cases I've had to rename the file a couple of times before it would work.

"JAR file mismatch" while installing - this is an error in the JAD file. It should never happen if you use JadMaker but seems fairly common with downloaded JADs. To fix it, delete the JAD and ZIP and use JadMaker to create a new JAD. Then make a new ZIP and upload again.

"Java Error" while installing. When this happens, find the new app in the Java Apps menu. It will have a generic looking icon with an X or downward pointing arrow on it. Select the app and press "OK". It will start installing again only this time it will list the steps of the install on the screen. Wait for it to fail and then take note of which which step it failed on:

If the error occurs during the "Loading Classes" or "Validating classes" part of the install it means that the app is not compatible with your phone and will never work. I find that only about half of the generic Java apps that I try actually work on iDEN phones.

If the error occurs during the "Allocating Flash" or "Writing Flash" install phase, it means you don't have enough free space on the phone. Delete one or more other apps or games and restart the install on the phone. To delete an app, select it in the menu, press the "Menu" key and choose "Deinstall".

Good luck finding and installing games and apps. Let us know in the comments of your successes and failures. If you find a particularly good, freely distributable game or app let me know so I can add it to BoostApps.

Free 411 update

2010-05-14T17:58:00.000-06:00

So I tryed the free 411 on boost today and I dont like it. The first thing is that they play a ad off the bat. Next is the voice recognition is shitty. Also if you can get it to understand you it play one more ad. Then when you say connect it rings once then takes you back to the menu. But it does read the number to you. Also you can have it txt the number to you but when it tryed it I never got the txt. So just use goog411(1-800-GOOG-411) sure you get ads sometime but not all the time. And the voice recognition is top notch. The only plus for Boost 411 is that you can look up residential numbers. I hope this helps someone......keep on boosting.

On the Fone to BOOST for a 1 & 1/2 hours

2009-05-17T11:43:00.000-06:00

So I'm getting pissed at me txt delays. I don't txt alot but my buddys do. So I called BOOST the other day. I was on the fone for 1 and 1/2 HOURs. I talked with 2 people and that last person I talk to was talking to SPRINT via IM(WTF). Well I all that time I did 2 master resets and 2 settings resets. Change my number then changed it back. Refreshed my fone 2 times and changed my IP 2 times. Power cycled my fone took out my sim. Turned it on then off like 12 times. And who knows what BOOST and SPRINT did. All in all my txting is know fixed so they made a trouble ticket and gave me a $15 cred to my acct. So BOOST/SPRINT will call me back to tell me wut is up.

Damn TXT MSGs

2009-05-13T13:12:00.000-06:00

So i still dont get txt msg. So I called BOOST they refreshed my fone and changed my IP and gave me a $10 cred. But I can only get txt if I turn off my fone and turn it back on. I hope they will fix this so.

2009-05-13T10:01:00.000-06:00

Wow I was running around on the net looking for IM programs and found a great IRC program. Its jmirc . It has full irc on it even a user list.

get the .jar here: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=109403&filename=jmIrc-0.95.jar&a=73089232

And the .jad here: http://jmirc.sf.net/jmIrc.jad

BOLT MOBILE BROWSER

2009-05-12T01:54:00.000-06:00

Ok all this is a new Browser for your fone. It is in beta2 so try to see if it works for you. I have a i335 and i have tryed it and it does not work so good for me. I have to hit the send button to go on it. here is the URL BLOT. And here are the .jar and .jad files.

* For BlackBerry devices, you will need to install the BlackBerry specific
version:
http://boltbrowser.com/boltbb.jad

* For other devices I recommend you install the dual signed version
first, followed by VeriSign then Thawte signed. If you have any trouble
installing any of these three versions, install the unsigned version:

Dual Signed Build: http://boltbrowser.com/bolts2.jad
Verisign Signed Build: http://boltbrowser.com/boltvs.jad
Thawte Signed Build: http://boltbrowser.com/boltts.jad
Unsigned Build: http://boltbrowser.com/bolt.jad

Please find below BOLT JAR file download path in this email to install
BOLT on your device.

* For BlackBerry devices, you will need to install the BlackBerry specific
version:
http://boltbrowser.com/beta/boltbb.jar

* For other devices I recommend you install the non-BB specific version:
http://boltbrowser.com/beta/bolt.jar

P.S. I tryed the Unsigned Build. It worked but, not as good as Opera Mini 3. Maybe you guys with BB and i9's will get it to work better who knows. Well post up your feed back.
