V3c appdb directory EMPTY in BitPim?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Today I restored my appdb directory with a game pack for a V710 using BitPim. I didn't really like the games (most weren't made for a RAZR's big screen or soft keys), so I deleted all of them just by using the java applications browser in my phone. I lost all of my Telus games that I payed for, but that's alright. Now when I try to restore a new game pack, the appdb directory is always empty. I can't see ANY files in it. Right now I'm going to re-download a Telus game to see if it creates a new selector.utf or anything, but their game download page isn't working. Has anyone else encountered this empty appdb problem with a V3 using BitPim? Any advice at all is much appreciated. Thanks!

ALSO, the files must still be on my phone because I'm down 20 megs of space (the second game pack I tried to install was 18 megs). Where can I delete these files?

Update: I re-downloaded Tetris from Telus (quite possibly the only game worth playing from their modest selection). I went back to the appdb directory to see if this would create a selector.utf file or make anything show up, but the directory is still empty. I'm stumped, and down 20 of my 36 megs. Is it possible that the files are in a different directory? I've combed all of them but haven't seen anything.

Last night I Master Reset and Cleared my phone, which wiped all of my downloaded files including my media and contacts, but did not touch my Applications. I still have Tetris, and the lost files that take up 20 megs must still be there, because I'm still using 25145 megs with just a 40k jpeg and four contacts on the phone currently. Does anyone have any idea how to clear their java apps? (Especially if they can't find them?)

I'm still not seeing anything in the appdb directory, even after resetting everything. You would think that having Tetris on there would mean I at least have a selector file... something's going on here. Please, someone help me out if you know anything about this.

I have a similar problem... I was building on my selector file witha few games and tools.. Now I see the files in the bitpim, but not in the phone (in the applications section). I have a v710 Telus phone. Funny thing is, I have a back-up of the brew directory, I can install it all back to what I had before any problems, but I still see no files in the applications directory??? I did notice that when I use 'Brewselectoreditor'.. If I use that to remove games, it seems to mix up the info for files I want to keep??? strange. I will be trying to re-download a game to se if it re-creates a selector file for me to build on too... (site is always down). I think we have the same problem with a similar file somewhere! Same problems just in reverse??

Good lord, someone replied! I think we are suffering from similar symptoms here, bud. I tried using a PC (I normally use a Mac) to find out what went wrong (or at least find the files), but I got nothing. I think a flex/flash would be the only way to fix it, but I don't know the first thing about it...

Flashing scares me to be quite Frank.. (I need bigger balls I guess). I did how ever get my selector file back.. I guess Telus has a storage of your purchased games, all I needed to do is re-download them all for $.50 each, and my phone created a new selector file. BUT I still cant seem to add more games to my list? i am trying to use the 'BrewselectorEditor'. Maybe I should be using midlet or motomidman er' something?? anyhow. Maybe someone out there has a back up of all the RAZR files (.zip made from bitpim) for you to download? Or is there a site out there with the stock files? I dont know? I'm just new to this fone hack thing.... its a lil addictive I must say.

Good luck Man
