1) Type *#0002*28346#
It will bring up a menu:
[1] Load Params [0]
[2] Dump Params [0]
>>> Data Load Complete

3) Press “Back” 3 times

[1] Debug Screen

4) Press 6
Menu now shows:
[1]Samsung USB[*]
[2]Qualcomm USB []
[3]PictBridge USB []

5) Press 2
Display should now say:
Qualcomm USB Configured.
Plz Reconnect the Cable.0

6) Unpack the Qualcomm USB drivers to a folder (exp. Desktop) but don’t install it.

7) Install BitPim.

8) Connect the SUPPLIED USB cable to the phone (PC Suite mode) and the PC.
Windows should now start its “Found New Hardware” wizard.
When asked about driver disks, direct the wizard to the folder in which you put the Qualcomm USB Drivers in.

9) Once the driver install has finished go to Device Manger and select “Modems” and choose Qualcomm Proprietary USB Modem. Depending on your version of windows depends on how you do the next bit. If using Vista click the Modem tab and write down the port listed in the top left. I dont have XP so can not tell you how to find port on it.

10) Open BitPim and configure the software for your U900 with the following settings:
Phone type: Other CDMA phone
Com port: *look at step 9* (you can browse the list, but chose the right one)
Press “OK”

10a) Restart computer. Once done, reconnect phone (PC Suite mode).

11) Start BitPim, go to the “View” menu and activate “View Filesystem”.

12) Click on “Filesystem” (Left hand frame in BitPim).
Now can you see a blue folder in the middle frame.

13) Click the “+” that is next to the blue folder.
Under the blue folder now says:
Retrieving….

14) Eventually you will see a filesystem tree, depending on what stored on your phone will depend on how long this takes to appear. Click the “+” icon next to the following 2 folders:
Media
Games

15) Open JADMaker, Drag & Drop your *.jar file into it and it will produce a corresponding *.jad file. YOU NEED BOTH FILES!!

16) In your middle BitPim frame, right click on “Games” and choose “Create Subdirectory”. Name the directory to the name of the game / app you want to install, I suggest you put “PIM” at the end for reasons I will explain further down.

17) In the newly created directory Drag & Drop BOTH the *.jar and *.jad files.

18) repeat steps 17 & 18 for each piece of JAVA you want to install, but try to refrain from doing more than 4 – 5 new installs at a time as some may get missed during the next step.

19) Disconnect the USB cable.

20) Enter *#6984125*# into your phone:
It will bring up a menu titled “Admin Setting”:
[1] Software version
[2] Pre-Configuration
[3] Network & call setting
[4] Internals
[5] Feature settings

21) Press 4
Master Key:

22) Enter the follwing *#9072641*#
Menu “Internals” now listed:
[1] Build information
[2] Debug settings
[3] Test mode
[4] Conditional featue
[5] Video call settings
[6] Protocol settings
[7] Storage setting
[8] Java settings
[9] Sound samples
[10] Test cases
[11] Timer

21) Press 7
Menu “Storage settings”:
[1] Update media database
[2] Update Java DB
[3] Create records
[4] Create emails
[5] Create Nv
[6] Create call logs
[7] Update app database
[8] Create Ax DAT File

22) Press the following, wait until it says “Updated” or “Created” after each press until moving on:
1 “Update media database”
2 “Update Java DB”
8 “Create Ax DAT File”

23) Press “End Call” then restart phone. Test new games and apps which will be found under the entertainment menu.

24) Important: DON’T delete the JAVA from the mobile phone, you must delete the folder you placed it in from games within “BitPim”. IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS!!!! This is why we entered “PIM” at the end of each folder from step 16 so we can identify which ones CANNOT be removed from the phone.
