SBB Bolt

This version is no longer working.  It shows the same "Bolt browser has been discontinued message as all other Bolt versions. There's a new working (for now) version here.

The Bolt Browser was discontinued  Dec 14th and the servers were shut down.  At least that's what Bolt is saying. However a reader on my WapReview.com site was kind enough to send me a link to a version that works.  It's labeled "SBB Bolt".  I'm guessing SBB is a mobile operator (Google seems to imdicate that there are SBB mobile companies in Pakistan, Switzerland and Russia) and  this is a  custom version of Bolt that was created for SBB.  I think it works either because Bolt is contractually obligated to keep the service running for a certain period of time for SBB or else SBB has licensed the Bolt server code and is running their own server.

I have no idea how long this version will continue working, enjoy it while it lasts

On  iDEN phones if you have the old non-working version of Bolt installed, delete it before sending this one to your phone. Or else choose highlight Bolt in the Java menu, press the Menu key and choose "Update" after downloading.

On iDEN phones the OK key doesn't work, use the Call key as OK. Also  the following settings are recommended for best performance and stability on all iDEN phones except the i9 and i856:

  • Set magnification to large or greater;
  • Set image quality to low or none;
  • Turn off the inline text input;
  • Set the display mode to mobile.

  8. Sir,
    There is a rumour that BOLT Indic version working has been found.
    Is it true?
    I cant check as the file is .zip which my phone doesnt support.
    Help!

    • Leave a comment with a link to the zip file and I'll test it.

  9. Yep , SSB_Bolt has been discontinued now .
    I don't imagine that there will be another working version of Bolt in the near future unless somebody like Amazon or Google licenses it . :(

  10. Now this 2.31 is not working.
    Please check 2.52 working or not!

    • 2.52 doest work. As far as I know, there are no working versions of Bolt anymore.

  11. Bolt Browser 2.52 working found. Please upload it too.
    I need the file.
    But its .zip on other sites, so cant download it.
    I need .jar or .jad file of Bolt Browser 2.52 working.

  12. it works on my i9

  13. I tried the restart..nothing, but the reinstall worked perfectly! Thank you very much!

  14. Na blot never seemed to work on my innuendo even before it got discontinued when i had the incognito it worked perfectly fine but now on my innuendo never has worked

  15. It worked on my Juno surprisingly. But today it doesn't seem to load :0/ should I remove and redownload?

    • It's still working for me do the servers still up. Try turning your phone off, waiting 30 seconds and then turning it back on. If that doesn't fix it then remove and re-install.

  16. bolt never seem to work on the innuendo

  17. not downloading my nokia C503 Why???

    • No idea, what's the error message?

  18. Awesome! This actually worked on my i465 Clutch. Thanks. :)

  19. Its working on my lg ku990,thanks

  20. yes!! it work on my S.E :D who can make ssb_bolt to handler application? Please..i need it to free of charge internet in my country :) thx

  21. Bolt browser is perfect to all but.why not woking before 1month

  22. Yes it worked perfect on my blackberry..but this version just not made for blackberry probably need a jad and jar together or sumthing

  23. This does not work at all on my innuendo for boost when i try to start it it makes me cell power off and on again which sux

    • Before it was discontinued, did the regular Bolt versions work on your phone?

  24. Strangely enough , one of my favorite sites identifies SSB_Bolt Browser as : Nokia3120classic12.0(06.20)
    So I guess that SSB is Nokia .

    • Possible, but I doubt it, Nokia has their own Java proxy browser that only works on Nokias so they don't need Bolt. Plus Nokia rarely supports apps that work on non-Nokias.

      I used http://ua.yeswap.com to dump the headers this version of Bolt is sending. There's a Via: header that shows the location of the server is at boltbrowser.com so I expect it will be shut down or non-SBB users blocked eventually.

      via: 1.0 us21.local.boltbrowser.com:3128 (squid/2.7.STABLE7)

  25. Error: Invalid manifest or application descriptor.

    The "MIDlet-Vendor" attribute is missing.Is what I get for the Jar

  26. Oh , and thanks Dennis .
    Have a Merry Christmas to all of you .

  27. 907 Invalid JAR
    Error!: control flow verification information too large: a that's what I get when I do the jad

  28. :D Woo Hoo !
    It works great on my i465 , it even restored my favorites from Bolt Space .
    It performs just like Bolt Full 3.1 and still works quite nicely .

  29. No..I keep getting errors.

  30. Is there gonna be a working version of this for blackberry

    • No idea. Doesn't this one work on BlackBerrys?
