I found this one posted by “BESadmin” on CrackBerry Au: www.crackberry.com.au. He got it from “PC Advisor UK”: www.pcadvisor.co.uk . So to say it has been around the world to get here is just about spot on. So thanks all involved.

I have to start off this post by saying that these instructions probably do not work for the 8130. With that said Rcbjr (AKA Richard ) has kindly allowed us to republish the great instructions he posted on PinStack.com on how to unlock vendor themes.
