Helpful tip if you are loading a leaked OS or your are using JL_Cmder and you want to back up your 3rd party stuff

1) Plug in device to the usb port >Open DManager> Device Switch Wizard
2) DSW> BlackBerry devices
3) Make sure ONLY 3rd Party Applications is checked> Select Next
4) DM will back up 3rd party apps, when finished (DO NOT select Next or Cance!)
5) Search your computer Files & Folders and DEFINITELY make sure to search HIDDEN FILES & FOLDERS for a folder with the same name as your PIN and a .alx file.
6) Move both the folder and .alx file to your own file folder
7) Go back to the DManager and cancel the process.
RESTORATION process
1) After you've loaded the OS go back & run the Apploader & Select ADD
2) Then find the folder we saved with your PIN # and Double click on the file named yourpin.alx.
3) Your 3rd Party Apps should appear in the Apploader screen
4) Select Finish to load Apps to device
5) Now you may restore other data from a previous backup.

Don't just use it for updating OS. Use it for a complete backup.. this way if you ever get a stalled out phone you can reload 3rd party software.
