SDA Application Unlocker
Direct Download (Download Page)
Canadian Fido/Rogers Blackjack II users do NOT use the SDA Application unlocker – reportedly, it will prevent your from making phone calls. Check the comments and forums for more details.
Application unlock your Blackjack 2 with SDA Application Unlocker. Application unlocking your phone will allow your Smartphone to run unsigned code (software that has not be “sanctioned” by Microsoft .. aka all the good software). Application unlocking your phone will also allow you to modify previously read-only files on your Smartphone and change registry settings.
To run SDA Application Unlocker, Download it to your Windows computer, connect your Blackjack 2 to your computer via USB/ActiveSync and then run SDA Application Unlocker from Windows (You cannot run SDA Application Unlocker from your smartphone)

I am unclear about the legality of hosting this file (I can’t find the developer web site speaking to the how it is licensed) so I have removed it from my servers. The file can be easily acquired by using the “Direct Download” link above, or by googling “SDA_ApplicationUnlocker.exe”. If it possible to purchase this application from the creator then I endorse that option.

how do you remove this program from your phone?

Raman,
You do a Hard Reset. SDA Application Unlocker doesnt install anything persay – it just modifies some registry entries.

Is there any way to verify that the SDA install worked? Thanks, jt

After running it, if the SDA Application locker tells you that SDA device (your phone) has been unlocked its unlocked. You can test this by trying to delete/move am AT&T shortcut from your start menu.

I’m having trouble using the SDA App Unlocker. I ran it, and it says “Unlocked” — but I can’t delete the AT&T Mall icon in the start menu. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

is there any way to reset the lock to factory settings? and when i run the unlocker it says, “removing the application lock from your phone might allow programs such as dialers to run without your concern>” what are these dialers it speaks of?

so im concluding that installing the SDA unlocker is a BAD idea if you have a fido(which i do) or rogers BJ. but i am getting very frustrated because i cant install any applications period in this thing, i havnt done anything to it but take it out of the box. im wondering if this is just an issue with my phone or others are having the same problem with the fido phone? any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

TMskates – what applications have you tried to install that don’t work?
February 2nd, 2009 at 7:34 pm
ive tried installing SPBattMet (Battery Meter), SMS bubbles (came up with an error message saying “necessary priviledged certificate could not be found”… still installed, but the app doesnt work), and MoDaCo GPS Hack/Application unlocker

Hey im from canada and my phone is issued by fido…i wanted to know if instead of using the SDA application unlocker there was another program available
February 27th, 2009 at 11:32 am
fofo – not that I know of
Try the forums – there are some good Canadian threads in there that might have your answer.

Hi i’m new to this but i have a question about my BJII what is a good program to use to unlock my GPRS and proxy setting cuz right now i can’t access mobile IE
March 3rd, 2009 at 3:50 pm
just so you know i’m running WM.6.1 and it seems the only way i can aceess the internet is connecting a usb cable
March 6th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
is there a way to re application lock your phone because when i unlocked my phone it said that i may use the dialer without me knowing it freaked me out
March 7th, 2009 at 10:14 am
squish – the only way is to back up your data and perform a factory reset on your phone.
June 4th, 2009 at 12:01 am
How do you go back from 6.1 to 6.0? I really want version 6.0 back!!
June 6th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
I just want to clear one thing: I am a Fido costumer but using an unlocked AT&T BJ2 with windows mobile 6.1. I cant see or launch application (.exe) files to install GPS maps. Should I or should I not install this unlocker?
June 7th, 2009 at 10:56 am
Update: I installed the unlocker but still the exe files are not visible under my stuff/storage card. It is visible with file explorer but will not launch to install maps. Help please……
June 17th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Update: If anybody reads these pages. my post is still waiting moderation after 11 days. Anyway. I got the Garmin GPS going from the awesome guide from here http://www.myblackjack2.com/forum/how_to/topic_99/ so that’s solved. The only thing that pisses me off that I still cant see and or launch exe files.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:08 am
what do i open it in
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:00 pm
@ Peti: any .exe files you have, which were intended as mobile software must be run from your desktop/laptop PC while your phone is connected via active sync. WinMo OS is not designed to run executable files.

do i need this to run the pocketsnes or genesis emulators?
July 31st, 2009 at 10:41 pm
Just to make sure, im on wm6.1 and on Fido and everything worked fine with the SDA unlocker. Not sure if im just lucky but ive had no problems with calls or downloading programs. but this is my second time using the SDA unlocker and everything worked fine
August 6th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
i actually can’t download de SDA unlocker file.. is there anywhere else that i can find that file? thanks
August 9th, 2009 at 9:11 am
Strange, the first BJII I upgraded to 6.1 didn’t need this program, but the second one is giving me the “registryKey” errors and appears to need it. HOWEVER, I too can download this program using the provided link — it just takes me to a screen that states “This website has been suspend temporarily for some reason”. Is there any other source for this download??
August 9th, 2009 at 9:12 am
Sound have said “I too CAN’T download this program …”
