BIDENTIFY(1) General Commands Manual BIDENTIFY(1) NAME
bidentify - Barry Project's program to identify BlackBerry handhelds SYNOPSIS
bidentify [-B busname][-N devname][-h][-v] DESCRIPTION
bidentify scans the USB system for available BlackBerry devices and probes each one it finds, then sends the identifying information to stdout in a computer-friendly format. OPTIONS
-B busname Specify the USB bus to search for Blackberry devices on. This is the first number displayed in the output from the lsusb command, such as 002. If the busname is numeric on your system, 2 and 002 are equal. See also the -N option, which can be used together with this option to precisely select the device to work with. -N devname Specify the USB device name. This is the second number displayed in the output from the lsusb command, such as 005. If the device name is numeric on your system, 5 and 005 are equal. See also the -B option. -c If used with the -m option, ESN numbers will be displayed in both hex and decimal formats where possible. If -m is not used, this option has no effect. -m Also show the device's ESN / MEID / IMEI number. This requires desktop database access, so is an option. It will only work on devices that have no password. -v Dump verbose protocol data during operation. -h, --help Show summary of options. RETURN STATUS
If bidentify detects a BlackBerry device, but cannot access it for some reason, it will write an error message to stderr describing the access problem, and return a count of the number of such failed devices as the error code. A return code of 0 means there were no Black- Berry devices found that could not be probed. In the event of a fatal error, the message will be written to stderr, with an error code of 1. AUTHOR

BJAVALOADER(1) General Commands Manual BJAVALOADER(1) NAME
bjavaloader - Barry Project's program to manage BlackBerry applications SYNOPSIS
bjavaloader [-h][-p pin][-P pass][-v] bjavaloader dir [-s] bjavaloader deviceinfo bjavaloader load <.codfile> bjavaloader save [-A] <module_name> bjavaloader wipe [-a | -i] bjavaloader erase [-f] <module_name> bjavaloader eventlog bjavaloader cleareventlog bjavaloader logstacktraces bjavaloader screenshot <.bmp file> bjavaloader settime [yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS] DESCRIPTION
bjavaloader is a tool for loading, listing, and deleting applications on a BlackBerry device. It has a few other features as well, not pertaining to application management. The command syntax is intentionally similar to the Windows program 'javaloader.exe' provided by Research In Motion, in order to make it easy to use the same build scripts on Linux and Windows. OPTIONS
-A Used with the 'save' command to save all available modules. -a Used with the 'wipe' command to only wipe the applications. -i Used with the 'wipe' command to only wipe the filesystem. -f Used with the 'erase' command to force the erasure of an application that is currently in use in the device. Experimental. -h Display a command help summary. -s When using the 'dir' command, list the submodules as well. -p pin Specifies the PIN number of the device with which you wish to communicate, when multiple devices are connected. -P password A simplistic method to specify the device password. -v Verbose debug output. This enables dumping of USB bus scanning, as well as the protocol packets used during communication. COMMANDS
dir [-s] Fetch a list of all applications and display them on stdout. When used with the -s option, submodules are included, and can take a long time to display. deviceinfo Provides information on the handheld. load <.cod filename> ... Loads one or more COD application files into the device. save [-A] <module name> ... Retrieves modules from the handheld and writes them to .cod files with the same name as the module. Note that this will overwrite any existing .cod file in the current directory. If the -A option is specified, a dir will be done internally, and all available modules will be saved. wipe [-a | -i] Wipes the handheld, removing all data such as messages, contacts, etc. and/or all .cod files, including OS .cod files. By default, with no options specified, both applications and data are wiped. Use the switches to specify only applications or data. erase [-f] <module name> ... Delete the specified application module(s). The module name can be determined using the 'dir' command. When used with the -f option, the module is erased even if in use, and the device will be reset. eventlog Retrives the handheld event log and prints it on stdout. cleareventlog Clears the handheld event log. logstacktraces Dumps the stack traces for all threads into the event log, which can then be viewed with the 'eventlog' command. screenshot <.bmp filename> Capture current screen image and save in BMP format. settime [yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS] Sets the time on the handheld to the current time, or the specified time. If time is given as an argument, the current system time- zone is assumed. AUTHOR
