Blackberry Connect - Manual Set the PIN - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Ok folks,
I just need to know one thing, in BB Connect v2.0, how can one hardcode in a PIN?
I want to use the same PIN my current BB 7100 uses.
Cheers

BlackBerry Available Cabs Here

ok just for everyone who was trying to get these, i have tried all of them, none work, maybe it's a problem in my BB account still not sure.
i linked all of them here for better support for guys like me.
hi,
I am on Cingular in the Us. Am I able to use any of these cab files to put blackberry on my Tytn or is it network specific and if it is, is there a generic blackberry client I can put on my device?
Thanks,
Gilbert

most of these 3 could work with any operator as i have been told before but still i think someone who succeeded to activate it would be better to give you the ok.
the Blackberry service depends on your registration with your operator not the application, these are just extracts From the ROMs provided by the operator meaning, you need GPRS, an active BB account to use them.
if your BB account is activated on the provisioning and at Blackberry i see no problem in you using them.

Thanks for this but my thought is, the company I work for has a BB support for exchange. I have GPRS and if I use the BB configuration which they supply, I should be good? right?

since your company uses exchange then apparently you are using Blackberry Enterprise ( meaning you have a license ) thus there is no problem for you to connect.
P.S. i have tried the 3 of them they do read the IP and APN, so i think you should be ok.
One concern though is the PIN, if your PIN is associated with another handheld you will have to contact your provider to deassociate it from the account on the provisioning site to be able to use it on another handheld.
It it possible for me to set up blackberry on a linux email server?
why should i want this
for as far as I know BB gives me pushmail and access to the company's global addressbook.
in wm5 they're both working for me without this BB function.
so, what else is there in BB I want to have?

If your company has Exchange with Direct Push, it gives you nothing. If your company had a Domino server and Blackberry, it would give you pushmail and addressbook (and calendar sync).
thx. @work there's a lot of BB devices in use by another part of our merged companies. All talking about their great BB funtions. I think that with my BA including pushmail and accessible global contacts including free/busy info, appointments, etc. I have a lot more functionality.
So you say we can use this BB cab files for both personal (which the BB service that operator gives) and work (which my company uses bb enterprise edition for). We can use for every bb service?
And what number will we use when they ask the PIN (what is it anyway) thing?
Thanks
Configuring Blackberry connect using a UK Tmobile ROM on non-Tmobile service provider
The latest Tmobile UK Rom supports blackberry connect but there doesn't appear to be anyway to configure. Anyone get blackberry connect to work with a non-Tmobile service provider using a BES?

when you setup the cab , after opening the application from start/settings/BlackBerry you will press i agree then you will be set in a screen where a PIN will be generated and connection and server status shown.
Yes you can use for Enterprise and Prosumer BB accounts.
configuring IP address for non-O2 UK
I reverted to the O2 UK ROM 1.40 with the BBConnect. Everything appears to be working but its only sending the message headers. I can do a lookup on my office address book but not receive the entire message contents.
I think the problem is because the IP address for the O2 UK blackberry server is hard coded in the installation as 206.51.26.189 and my office's BES is 206.51.26.xxx (other than 189). I have all three blackberry services loaded (ie. AUP, CICAL and CMIME) but these show an IP address of 206.51.26.192. On the BBConnect status screen it shows an IP address of 100.50.40.197. I'm not sure if this is coming from my local GPRS provider or the blackberry service.
I suspect the problem is that my messages are being routed through the O2 UK blackberry server and as such its only sending the message headers. If this is the case is there a way to modify the dll installation files to change the IP address to the IP address I am using in Indonesia? Which file would need to be changed?
Someone must have gotten this to work outside of the UK so any input appreciated.

Thanks for the answer.
Did you get any feedback about this?
Seems to me that the connection settings are in XML format in the BBConnectInfo_bb.dll. However this is signed/versioned so you cant just hexedit the address otherwise the dll wont load.
Unfortunately I have no experience with WM5 SDK.
I tried to install the CAB file but it says :
---------
Unable to install.
Uncertified system
software detected.

if you are using WM5, i have no idea. i have tried it on wm2003 se and worked great.
also check certification, if you got this handset locked by Etisalat, you may not be able to use it.
i think we need a wm5 expert to advise on this

First of all .. thanks for replying me .. as i searched the net i found another CAB file. and i can send it to you or to anyone who likes.
but the problem now that it installed and connected. generated a PIN # .. stayed live connected for 5 minutes after that it disconnected . when i tried to reconnect it connects for couple of seconds then says disconnected.
so i would be trying something during the coming couple of days using a different mobile to see if the network is blocking me or the device have a problem.

I now have BBConnect working with my companies enterprise server and I am using Vodafone contract and HTC Wizard.
Last week I was using the Molski custom ROM (fantastic ROM btw) and for the love of god BBconnect would not connect. I would connect for a second or two and then disconnect.
On Monday I installed the latest Vodafone UK ROM that is posted on the FTP server. Reinstalled the Vodafone supplied software for BBConnect and Desktop SYNC, and then connected the phone up to my laptop and exchanged PINS using the supplied Desktop SYNC (BBCONNECT) software supplied my Vodafone.
My GPRS Modem setting is web.vodafone.de (I am based in Cologne) You dont need to enter blackberry.net
Disconnected phone from laptop and all works fine. If anyone wants more info, please let me know.

Blackberry Connect on S730

Hi,
Please can someone talk me through trying to get BB Connect 4 working with the new HTC S730 (Wings)?
I'm trying to move across from a BlackBerry Pearl, so I know my subscription with my operator (Telenor Sweden) is working just fine.
I've tried using BBC 4.0.0.76 and 4.0.0.84 for WM6 Standard.
I enter BBC app on the phone and click Menu > Register Now. Back on the home page the BB status changes from Not Connected > Network Available > Data Tunnel Available > Not Connected. I have no PIN (Pending) and no IP.
I also tried BBC 2.1.2.39 but this just stays at Not Connected. Any idea why this is not working, since BBC 2 is not supposed to be so fussy about checking if the device is supported?
When I try to connect with the BBC Desktop software, it says PIN is "Unknown Type"
So....
I'm guessing the S730 isn't certified by RIM yet and I need to trick BBC 4 into thinking it's running on a supported device.
Please can someone help with the correct steps? Here are some of my questions:
1. I have the S730 Nordic version so I guess the first thing I need to do is dump the ROM from my own device. Am I better off using the grab_it ROM dumper from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945 or using this method http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...x_HowToDumpRom ? I'm struggling so far with the pdocread method as I my device seems to be application locked. I'll post more about this in the S730 ROM thread.
2. Assuming I get the ROM dump, I need to use a Hex Editor to change the GetDeviceInfo from HTC-Wings ( I guess) to a supported device. Can anyone tell me the best device to change this to e.g. HTC-Vox? I've read reports of BBC 4.0 working on the S710 Vox but also people have asked for help hacking it. Which device string should I use?
3. I'm a complete noob when it comes to repacking ROMs and flashing WM devices. Can anyone point me to step-by-step guide to this?
I've tried to read around this subject but I've quickly exceeded my technical comfort zone to put it mildly, so any help with this would be really appreciated!
You carrier needs to support the Blackberry Gateway forwarding. If it does not, from your device, then Blackberry Connect will not work. They literally need to sort of "open ports" on their system.
I tried a Blackberry Connect activation on a Samsung BlackJack II, on AT&T here in the states, with no luck. Same symptoms as you describe.
Read all of the comments here to see what other people have done.
Oh well... get your peoples to enable ActiveSync on your server. Or at least to forward your Email to an outside address.
Good luck,
Matt
I'm not ready to give up on the S730 and BB Connect just yet.
My operator supports BB Connect on Sony Ericsson and Nokia smartphones but say there is no reason why HTC models shouldn't work. I have a colleague with a HTC Tytn II, also with Telenor connecting perfectly with my company BES, so there is some hope.
The hack described in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294218 basically tricks BBC into thinking it's running on a device which is supported by RIM and your operator. That's what I'm trying to do. That's where I was going with my questions.
But I don't know a) how to dump my ROM b) what devicetype value to set and c) how to repack the ROM and reflash the device.
Has anyone else tried the same thing and can help a noob like me?

Not an option for me, unfortunately. My company only support BES and so either I get BBC working or the S730 goes up on ebay. I'm back to using my Pearl until I get this working.
Is there anyone else out there trying to get BlackBerry Connect working on the S730?
also trying for BB connect
I just tried to install three different version yesterday with no success.
4.0.0.76 (wm5 version)
4.0.0.84 (wm6)
4.0.0.91 (wm6)
http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276
They all installed properly but did not generate a PIN number, it was stuck at "PIN pending".
It went thru the same sequence "Network Available" --> "Data Tunnel Available" --> "Not Connected"
have not tried version 2.1 yet will do that shortly
Tried 2.1
update:
Tried 2.1 on the s730, it does not function.
If anyone has anymore ideas please post, and i will try it .
I know this is a separate platform, but perhaps bbconnect for the HTC tilt might work. AT&T have it available here http://www.america.htc.com/mobile/connect/8925/
Has anyone tried emoze as a push solution?
Has anyone found a working BB Client for BB Internet Service for The S730?
I see over the years ... nobody read carefull Threads!
Black Berry is a complicate and secure Application!
How they generate a Pin?
The Device Name, Device OS Version and Build Nr. are for the generation importent. It means ... if your modded os have a wrong OS Version and Build Nr. you doesnt get a Pin and you see every time "Pin pending"
How i can fix this?
Try to use a Original HTC Rom. If you get Pin Pending again ... try to reg edit your Build Nr. If its work, you have the right version Nr.s you need and Build Nr.! Then you can ask you favorit Rom Builder for changing does numbers.
Use Black Berry Connect Clients over 4.0.0.90
If you know the right ids ... publish it!
But where can I get the right rom for my HTC S730 and where can I get a BB client over 4.0.0.90
Original Rom ... www.htc.com -> eMember
Black Berry Client ... netrunnerat.4shared.com -> tools

That's a cool site. Thanks.
Also, did you test this on the S730 with your theory?
It dosn't work. No PIN.
New Ideas ?
your carrier needs to allow your phone to access the Blackberry servers. It's a provisioning thing. Call them and try to get it added... try to convince them just to add it and see what happens, even if you don't have a Blackberry. They might have a special thing... like AT&T's Tilt has the ability to use blackberry connect, so AT&T probably has some special feature for provisioning that enables a non-blackberry phone to be provisioned for blackberry service.
Without this connection allowed by your carrier connecting you to RIM's servers... Blackberry Connect will not work.
Prove me wrong. (seriously, because I want to get this working for myself )
I have the blackberry connect service activated for my s730 but can not get a pin number. I will try different versions, if anyone has anymore ideas please post
Thanks

Blackberry connect + TyTN II pin pending

I just installed BBC on my TyTN II and I called my service provider (t-mobile) to add the service, and they asked me for a pin #, I told them it was pending and they said I must have a pin #...
What do I have to do to get the pin #? it just keeps saying pending on my phone.
No one else is having pin pending problem?
Not sure if you tried a search, but many others have gotten BBC to work successfulyl with a TyTN II. The instructions on how they did it and what they followed are int those threads.
I tried searching and I couldn't find it, can you direct me to the link? Thanks
I think the problem is that I haven't connected it to my computer.. is it necessary to connect the device onto the computer? because I think my USB port on my phone is damaged and I am unable to connect it...
Is there any other way I can connect it to my computer without using USB?
Haven't lookd for all the threads. But you should be able to roughly follow the instructions listed here:
http://www.america.htc.com/connect/8925/
Even though you are using TMo vs. AT&T, it shouldn't matter. You get the PIN by using the BlackBerry Connect Desktop for Windows Mobile software on your desktop PC while you have your phone connected to the PC and your PC able to log into the mail service you want BB service for. (So yes you do need to have a working USB connection).

Black Berry Connect for Windows Mobile

Where can I find for download the Blackberry Connect Client for WM ?
I know only about the dopod Asia website, but when I register it says there is no valid SN. I have a SN with GB which is for Europe.
Thank you very much in advance!
Alex,
you might try here

Have you tried the Blackberry website? I think I remember seeing it there.
Here you go. Straight from HTC website for the TyTn2

Thank you guys!
And also a link for the Desktop Manager ?
Thank you!
I installed Blackberry Connect. I am using it with a Blackberry Enterprise Server.
But I see in order to have the BB icon, the GPRS is always attached. Should it work like this ? I know/knew that with Blackberry phones it attaches to GPRS only when incoming email is coming, and only with Microsoft Directpush technology it stays attached all the time.
If it works like this ( Always On ), is there a difference between BB Connect for WM, and Outlook with Microsoft Direct Push ?
Yours,
Alex
Is BB Connect sensitive to AKU registry key.
I mean I used .0.4.2 sofar but I saw also that there are 0.4.4 or even 0.5.0 values ?
Does this values matter for BB Connect for Windows Mobile ?
Thx!

Yes, for the Tilt the best bet is to stick with what the provider is currently offering. 0.4.2 & 0.4.4 both work. 0.5.0 may work as I believe there is a valid hermes AKU, but never trid that one.

My blackberry is always connected to data...
If I reflash my Kaiser, and I reinstall Blackberry connect for WM.
After Installation how can I get the Enterprise Email box set-up ?
From the Activation Tab ?
I encounter issues with this:
- If I reinstall it, it connect as BlackBerry Internet Service ( I can see no more than 5 Services ).
- Right after I do activation, with a new password for BES email box activation, I get the new service, and short time after it says Services Received, the connection drops. If I do soft-reset it just connects than drops
I am using Blackberry Enterprise not Blackberry Internet Service.

Kaiser - Blackberry Connect Activation

Hi All,
I have a Kaiser ROM 1.56.405.5 and Radio 1.27.16.21
I installed the BB Connect delivered on CD and checked ... it is the latest version.
I installed the BBC Desktop on PC and also checked .. it is the latest version.
My mobile operator has already activated my SIM card for BB and it is working because I have the service always connected, I got a PIN and an IP address is always available.
Now, coming to the activation, I had my IT managers who make my email BB enabled and got a password (MS Exchange).
The Blackberry Entrepise Service is activated on the BBC and everything seems working.
As I was not able to activate my email with the given password, I read in several threads that we can do it through the PC with the BBC Desktop.
I did it and it worked .... miracle!
Sending and recieving emails when connected to the PC is perfectly working.
But sending and recieving emails when standalone through wireless is impossible. My email is visible and seems activated on Kaiser BBC.
Eventhough the radio tunnel seems to be connected and active (either on EDGE or 3G), no way to have it working normally.
Question 1:
Can my mobile operator be blocking the usage of HTC on the network in order to oblige buying a BB handset?
If yes, why do I have a Radio BB Connection always active?
Question 2:
Do I need for a while before getting my email "really" activated by BB?
Is it linked to the fact that I never succeed to use the password given by my IT people?
Question 3:
Is it possible that I need to configure my GPRS connection? I read somewhere that the APN could be different and sometimes we need to chaneg the registery keys. My understand was that this is needed for older versions of BBC.
I am just trying to understand whether I have to shoot on my IT people (they will not like it because of the policy: Nothing else that BB handsets!) or to shoot on my mobile operator who can also have the same policy.
Thanks for your help.

I have always had to use the blackberry desktop to provision a blackberry connect device for bes.
Check your settings and connections. You should have a connection for blackberry.
You also should have a blackberry icon at the bottom right of your home screen. Click this and check your blackberry settings such as identity (pin, imei, ip address), status (connected), email settings, services (some of the individual services have settings which you should check).
Hi
Yes everything you said is OK
What are the settings for the services?
I have no clue.
One of them is not running: IPPP for 5 click [IPPP] !!
Thx
Marko
Is your ROM a 6.1 ROM? I can't tell by just the numbers. If it is Change registry setting (HKLM\System\Versions Aku set to .0.4.2)
Not sure why 6.1 does that but it worked for me.
Thanks to Dutty for the above instructions
my ROM ver is 1.56.405.5 Radio is 1.27.16.21
Register is OK
What should I do with the password given by my IT guys? I didn't use it.
THX
Marko
Hehe
Just found out that my ROM is WM 6.0 can it come from this ?
Thx
Marko
I used the BB Connect software on my pc, clicked configure handset and it did all the work for me, I didn't need to enter a password.
You might need to go into BB security and set a password for the handset.
Hi
I flashed a new ROM with 6.1 on my Kaiser.
BBC version .100
Radio is ok and got PIN
BBC Desktop configured my the balckberry services on Kaiser.
Even, sent and recieved email when connected to PC with BBC Desktop.
BUT ... when I am on wireles, no way to make it working.
Thx for your help.
Marko
Guys,
It was my provider. Now everything seems working even in roaming.
They put me on BIS and when I asked for BES, they proposed to me a new thing: BB Multinational.
Just be careful all, there is not only BIS and BES but also BB Multinational with some providers.
Cheers.
Marko
