Hello,
Sorry to bother everyone - have tried searching but can't seem to find what I need - may be asking the question wrongly!
Currently have a K700i which has some purchased games on; getting W800 tomorrow, and want to know if - and how - I can transfer the games I have paid for on the old phone to the new one.
Have been told to connect the two phones together via bluetooth, which have tried on couple of K700's, but can only see the other phones music files, etc, not games.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you! |

If you can move the games to the external memory (card), then you can get to them on the PC, then put them in the 'other' folder and you can bluetooth them.
You can also send by infra-red but it takes ages..

This can be done; any .jar file can be extracted from your K700.
Illustrated below for Super Real Tennis
1. Open UltraEdit and create a new file
2. Write this in: /tpa/preset/system/oaf/superrealtennis.jar
3. Save the file as 1.jar.vlnk in the "UTF-16 - NO BOM" format
4. Switch to HEX edit mode, add 00 00 to the end of file
5. Save the file
6. Transfer this 1.jar.vlnk to the "Others" folder in your phone.
7. Transfer this file out to another device, e.g. you PC, to get the .jar file
You may first wish to extract /tpa/preset/system/oaf/applist/suites.dat using the method above as it contains the paths of all .jar files currently on your phone. |

cant get this to work with K750 using the above method..
could you elaborate a little more? or are you using extra hardware?

you can send by bluetooth or infrared etc...
you need to send the install file, NOT the shortcut.

@chrisdaniels:
Haven't tested this method on a K750; it definitely works for K700.
Which step can't you go through? |

transfering back out of the phone...
made the file as instructed above, put it in others.. now what?
copying back out just copies that same file.. have i missed something?
@Xugaa: i'll try sending the install file, but how does that work for /tpa/preset/system/oaf/applist/suites.dat ?

@chrisdaniels:
The file you have created is a Virtual Link file. It points to an actual file in your phone. Once you have transferred the .vlnk file into your phone, your phone can recognise it as its target - it simple 'becomes' the file it points to. So if you transfer it out, you effectively copy out the file it points to. In our case, the 1.jar.vlnk in will become 1.jar out, where the 1.jar is a copy of superrealtennis.jar.
If the .vlnk doesn't come out correctly as the file it points to, you might have done something wrong creating the .vlnk.
Or, again, I'm not 100% sure if this really works on a K750.
Edit: I've just repeated the steps I've given and it worked as it should.

well i dont know then.. i got the idea that it was a link, and that you were implying it would pull it from the phone.
but i just cant get it to work.
i put it down to the file too. I played with it for ages last night, adding 00 00 in hex then just 00.. i gave up eventually,
i looked on the net but could only find references to the cruiser kit, so was wondering if that was needed.. but it seems not..
can you pull it back out still using USB or do you need to bluetooth ? do you need to disconnect the usb so it links to phone memory? is it the vlink that i transfer back out?
EDIT:Sorry, forgot the K700 doesnt have usb cable..or did it? i cant remember now..
If i can get this working, maybe i could do other things..!
PS. can you upload to phone memory using a similar method? i wouldnt think so..

@chrisdaniels:
It's not all that hard... When I just tried it, it took no more than 1 minute, including creating the vlnk file, tranferring it to my K700 via bluetooth, and transferring it out.
Adding 00 00 to the end means appending 00 00 in hex. You have to put the .vlnk to the "Others" folder using normal OBEX file transfer. At the moment the phone receives it, it's all ready 'changed' to the file you want so you just copy it out straight.
Which file are you trying to get out? Are you sure you've got its correct path?
EDIT: This method should work for almost any file resided on the phone, which you normally can't have access to. But you have to make sure you have the correct path.
