[FAQ] How To Install Java Games On Samsung E250

[phantom69]

It took me a lot of time to finally figure out how to do this right lol. I am writing this guide from scratch, it is not simply a copy and paste from somewhere on the internet.

Anyway, to start...

NOTICE: I can not guarantee this will work on your phone, i can only say it has worked successfully for me and to current has not had any negative affects to the handset, USE THIS TUTORIAL AT YOUR OWN RISK! I can not promise you that it will not mess up your phone, so take notice of this warning.

What You Will Need:

• A bluetooth adapter for your PC. (even a cheap one is fine, mine was only AU$17)
• Softick PPP 2.21
• Samsung XXXX Java Uploader
• Log in to see links

Steps:

1. First start by switching on bluetooth and pairing your device with the computer and authorising the computer (this prevents any further mucking about)
2. Next activate the serial port service for your phone,
   
   For bluesoleil 5.0.5 right click on your device and select "connect bluetooth serial port". Once this has finished the install process, right click on the device again and select "disconnect bluetooth serial port"
3. Then key into the handset: *#52828378#
4. Select OTA Type settings -> serial bearer
5. after this point, restart the phone
6. once the phone has started up, right click the softick PPP icon in the system tray and select the "bluetooth/serial" tab and check the box next to all com ports that device ends with "serial@" (@ being a number)
7. after this step, click ok then right click the icon in the taskbar again and select "Activate PPP"
   
   now the red cross should dissappear and the bluetooth icon in your taskbar should be green.
8. Next, key in again *#52828378# select 'serial test' -> 'PPP Up' -> 'Bluetooth'
9. it should take you back, then once you are back in the main menu, select 'serial test' again and leave it at that.
10. NOW, open Samsung XXXX java uploader, and add the JAD file for the java game you wish to install.
11. Next, back on the phone, select 'serial download'
12. a progress bar should appear, and once the download is finished, the game should automatically start.

Thats it... you have just installed your first game

Important: once you have finished installing games for your session, key in *#52828378# again, select OTA Type Setings and then select "GPRS Bearer" and restart the phone this is important otherwise next time you select WAP, your phone will restart.
