UPDATED: This is what happened when I installed 6.0 on my Bold 9700

I’m a bit lost at words and can’t say I have ever encountered this issue before.  My whole OS seems very plain and it’s as if the graphics forgot to install themselves here.  All my applications are still there as you can point some of them from the screenshot such as AOL Instant Messenger, BerryReader, and CaptureIt.  It’s nearly impossibly to use as you can’t see any cursor moving any where. it’s more like trial and error and I’m not liking it!

Have any of you had this issue?  Now onto Round 2 of installing 6.0 on the BlackBerry Bold 9700.

UPDATE: Thanks to all who tweeted and left comments for this one.  It looks like this issue is going on for the T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold 9700, which is exactly what I’m using here and failed to mention earlier.  The solution is: After installing the .exe,  go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9700M_v6.0.0.344_P6.6.0.50\Java and delete the following two files called:

  • net_rim_theme_tmobile_BlackBerry6_480x360_b.cod
  • net_rim_theme_tmobileeu_BlackBerry6_480x360_b.cod

Then proceed and install the operating system on to your device and you’re good to go.

    The UI seems to have installed incorrectly, do a complete reinstall with a clean base, that should fix the problem. I ran into this once when i was porting 5.0 onto my 8330.

    Delete the Tmobile Themes from your 9700 using BBSAK or Loader.exe

    Yeah that is the base BlackBerry theme that practically nobody ever sees. You can usually get rid of it by either changing themes, resetting your theme settings, or doing a selective backup/restore of your theme settings from desktop manager

    UNREAL! Finally finding a leaked os 6.0 for my 9700 on Tmobile only to find it install with errors just as explained above. Deleting the files “net_rim_theme_tmobile_BlackBerry6_480x360_b.cod &
    net_rim_theme_tmobileeu_BlackBerry6_480x360_b.cod” as they explained and

    EVERYTHING works like a charm.

    Loyal and exciting BB user!
