I don't have a .jar file – I only have a .jad file.

If you only have the .jad file and not the actual .jar file for a Java Midlet (game, application, etc.), you can usually get the .jar file with this process:

1. [Try to do this] Rename the .jad file to a .txt file. So, if it was named SysInfo.jad, it should be renamed to SysInfo.txt. If you can't see the "file extensions" and you aren't really a computer geek, skip to step 2.
2. Double-click the file. If you were able to rename it to a .txt file, it should automatically open Notepad. If not, you should associate .jad files with Notepad.
   • Windows XP: Pick the program from a list yourself. When the list pops up, select Notepad.
   • Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT: When the list pops up, scroll down and select Notepad.
3. Look for "MIDlet-Jar-URL". Copy the URL ("http://xxxxxxxx/xxx/xxxxx.jad").
4. Open up a web browser and paste the URL into the address bar.
5. You should download the .jar file to your computer.
6. Now you can upload the .jar to your phone with this uploader.
