BlackBerry® Bold™

[leebh]

I have a Doc To Go file that has the .rem encryption.  I saved the file on my laptop and then reformatted the media card and wiped the Berry.   I have tried every possible solution to encrypted the file possible.  Does anyone know how to unencrypt the file without the original berry.

I had the same problem of having pictures in Blackberry stored as jpg.rem,  and you know what I found out to save the pics in jpg?

Well, use your blackberry email, and attach the pictures one by one and send them to your own email address, somehow when I received the pictures from the email, the .rem extension disappeared and I was able to save all my pictures on my laptop.

What a relief!!!   It is tedious to do the attachments of the BBerry pics one by one to email, but at least I got all the pictures saved on my laptop with just the .jpg extension!

Try this!!!

I tried the move from one folder to another and it didn't remove the encryption.  My device connects to a BES and the IT policy is set to encrypt file system (including the multimedia sub folders.)

Do you have any other ways to try to remove encryption with an IT policy setup this way? Currently I am using the media manager program, which as you know can be a pain to work with.

As was posted before, the only way to decrypt once encrypted files is to mail them to yourself. Pain in the neck...

What worked for me to avoid the encryption although our IT turns encryption on was to store to the pictures/ folder on an SD card inserted into the BB. For some reason only that particular folder is not being encrypted. I now set all apps that need to store data that I may want to access through USB to store their stuff to the pictures/ folder.

But there are limits to this. I every now and then use the BB like a USB stick and of course push it all through the pictures/ folder to avoid encryption. However, for some reason the entire device slows down with an increasing amount of files in the pictures/ folder. When I accidentally left a 6GB backup in there the BB turned unusable. Any interaction took at least 5 seconds. Trying to delete the contents using the BB's explorer didn't work either. I had to connect through USB and wipe the stuff using the Windows explorer.

I want an iPhone...

Very simple: click on Options then Memory once there change the Encryption Mode option to None.,

that would be it. . jpg.rem is now changed to .jpg

This will not work for files that are already encrypted.  Once the file has been encrypted the setting in the Memory options to disable encryption will not remove the encryption it just stops the phone from ecncrypting any new files. 

As for the earlier post about putting the files in the Pictures folder, well that will not work if your BES policy is set to encrypt all folders including the multimedia folders.  The only time it will work is if your BES server has no policy set on Memory encryption or you are not managed by a BES server.

Besides, I get the message "The chosen encryption level is less than your current IT policy setting". I guess a "managed BB" always does this encryption nonsense, even for pics that you take.

1. click on Options
2. open Memory
3. change the Encryption option to None
4. Save changeds and start taking pics. all files will be on .jpg

True... but u can convert that through your PC or Laptop. all u gotta have is the converter and you can download one from LimeWire or use the one that comes with the new Realplayer.

[r2dent]

so nobody has been able to answer this straightforward question so I'm going to ask it again being very specific;

How do you convert .jpr.rem to .jpg ? Please answer if you know how to do this using two things

1) a computer with any kind of software

2) a .jpg.rem file

Please do not respond with an answer that requires using a blackberry, as I have thrown mine out and now use an iphone.  thanks
