Hi Jamaal, You might have a slight misunderstanding of how the Barry FUSE module works. It just uses the normal database communication to extract the required databases and records on the fly. Without the BlackBerry firmware to serve the data, you're going to have to reverse engineer the compression first, and see if the data formats inside the device are the same as what is seen on the USB wire. I'm sure there is little guarantee of that, unfortunately. I've already seen two different data formats on the USB wire, Barry handles one of them, and I'm sure the in-device storage format is probably different. I don't mean to discourage you, just sharing what I know, and what I can guess. - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
