Hi there!
I have a t-mobile mda III for two months. It had the original latest rom released by t-mobile (TMUK 1.42 1.12 1.13.00). I tried to connect to my university's network with wlan, but i have to connect there by VPN too (Connections->My work network->VPN). It worked really good without any problem. But I downloaded the Helmi's wm5.0 rom and i upgraded it. My phone didn't work, so i downgraded back the official TMUK rom, but since that i can't connect to VPN. Everything else is okwith the pda, but i can't use the internet in the university (that connects to the network, but i can't use it without VPN). I think the upgrade and downgrade deleted or changed something in registry or something, i don't know, so please help me!!!!
Really thanks!
It won't be the registry, as the hard resets during the upgrade/downgrade should zap the registry.
VPN has a million things that can go wrong. Access to the server logs would likely point you in the correct direction. I actually gave up on the ipsec/l2tp implementation and switched to using OpenVPN. Far easier to set up, but probably not much use to you as you are limited to what the uni has.
Really thanks for OpenVPN, but i can't use this. I don't know how to use this exactly. In the uni is PPTP vpn, not IPSec, so could you give me some advice about programs to use it.

Personally, I use a Linux server and this page (and others on the site) has been invaluable:
http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/openswan-pocketpc.html
The built-in client on the PPC supports L2TP/IPsec and PPTP. OpenVPN is completely different and incompatible with either. This page contains info on all of the varieties of VPN:
http://www.natecarlson.com/linux/linux-vpn.php
As you are using PPTP, you should be able to follow guidelines for OpenSWAN, as I believe it supports PPTP. The first link I posted has info for the pocket pc.
These pages should help you out somewhat. I'd recommend setting it up on a desktop first as you will be able to see the client logs. Once you get it working, you may have figured out something specific to your university that you need to set.

I know I am probably the millionth person to ask for help but here goes. I installed the 2.17 ROM on my Cingular 8125 (yes I CID unlocked). I have seen others post that LEAP authentication is included in the 2.17. Perhaps I am missing something but I don't see it. I am trying to connect to a server that authenticates with LEAP (this uses a dynamic WEP). Is there any ROM update out there that has LEAP or is LEAP only a Cisco technology? I appreciate all the work you guys do!

Funny you mention that - I was just cracking open some of the cab files in the latest ROM and one of them appears to disable LEAP. Let me look into this more and get back to you. I don't use LEAP, so if I find something to try you'll have to let me know how it works out.
Leap?
What the hell is LEAP? or Dynamic WEP? Sounds like a Cisco proprietary wireless thing, I'm more into things like WPA w/ Radius Authentication, or WPA Pre Shared Key (PSK) for simple users. Before that, WEP 128 w/ MAC filtering as well on a private subnet then you'd vpn into the main network.
I'm not sure about any of the other ROMs, but I'm on the 2.17 / 2.23 AKU2.2 ROM that Summiter put out last Friday, and when I go into the Wireless Lan settings, there is a tab called "LEAP". I don't have anything to test that it works, but it looks like the option is there. Hope this helps in some way.
I am running Summiters 2.17 w/ CF2,AD2P,etc. and I also have a LEAP tab in my wifi settings. Likewise, I have no hardware to test if it works, but it's there.
Thanks for the feedback. I see no such tab. Perhaps I installed something incorrectly.
I recently updated my ROM to the custom AKU 2.2 that summiter released. I now have a LEAP tab in my "Wireless LAN" options. I am able to connect to the internet using the LEAP option. However, though the phone says I am connected via WiFi, I am unable to browse using Internet Explorer. I keep receiving an error message that says "Connection was lost" when clearly my connection is stable. Also, I get the same message when I try to connect to anything via WiFi (not just a LEAP authenticated server). Pehaps this goes back the the cab file issue summiter mentioned. Is anyone else experienceing WiFi issues with the new ROM?
1.40.00 with radio 1.12.00 (This was actually whay my device was shipped with. I chose the wrong version when downgrading from wm5.
Anyway, my problem is that with old version of 1.22 I was able to use the internet using t-mobiles proxy settings of 216.155.165.50 port 8080. I made the exact same changes to my settings in the upgraded OS but I cannot browse anywhere. The only thing I can do is use AIM on port 25 but want to be able to access the internet.
Any idea on what's going on? Because I don't want to downgrade again because I want to keep Media player 10 and have mp3 ringtones.
phone support!
Hi, I just phoned support (which is 2828 for t-mobile-Business customers don't know whats yours). And they just gave me some settings I had to make (including atwo letter password) and it worked out fine (sorry Ive not got my blueangel here by now, cause its in the IT-Dept for setup of "messaging and security services" for pushmail with Exchange 2003SP2 - so I can not tell you the settings from my mda and I also have not memorized them in a way to tell them from mind).
Actually I did NOT tell the support that I flashed anything, but told them that my settings got lost.
So I'm now using Ivans ROM with some additions from TuMa1.4 and still have GPRS-Internet-Connection. The Internetconnection through Active-Synch (for e.g. AvantGo) works as well (but the latter did also without asking support)
I have upgraded my active synch to the 4.2 beta and even that works better than ever.
So I can just recommend "ask support"
I tried asking support. As usual, instead they just said it cannot be done and that I would have to upgrade to the 29.99 package which I am definitely not doing. I really need to find those setting you received.
Do you need to use the proxy on T-Mobile? If you are getting AIM through then you have connectivity to the net. The only thing holding you back would be if they blocked port 80 outbound and forced you through a proxy. My Orange GPRS doesn't need one.
Have you checked the "programs connect to the internet / work using:" settings? AIM probably ignores them, so that might be an issue.
i thought to ope a new thread about this.
i tried to get bb connect on wm6 (at&t) versions 2 and 4.
i didn't get any of them to work.
did sombody succeeded in the meantime?
is there a new version coming up?
hope te hear...
Tried them both too on my 750C w/ WM6, unsuccessful. Right now I am on BBC 4.0.0.90, still not working, getting from: No Connection -> Network Available -> Data Tunnel Available (at this point gets an IP address) -> No connection. The PIN is never generated so BBC is unusable for now. I was following a thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294218 , tried to modify my AKU version (didn't try to modify the build in the ROM though) w/ no results.
In the mean while, Hermes/ATT 8525 w/ WM6 and BBC 4.0.0.90 works just fine. What are we missing here ? Anyone w/ a clue ?
I am happy that someone opened a thread for this, I hope we'll get a fix.
Thanks,
HC
i've upgraded mine with wm6 non attws , unable to connect on bbc4 as well
does anybody know the latest b uild of the bb connect software (and where to get it)
i have (downloaded from vodafone nl)
blackberry version 4.0.0.67
transport version 4.0.0.70
and does anybody has a list of new features in later releases
I have 4.0.0.90, check the thread that I posted above for links to download it. Also Google for "Blackberry Connect 4.0.0.90" and I am sure you'll get something. I think the 4.0.0.90 version is not specifically for Treo 750, it's rather for larger screen devices, like the Hermes etc. but it doesn't bother me scrolling a little bit in one or two tabs.
Good luck,
HC
i'm on 750v wm6.0 vodafone and can't get bbc4 to work
not even 2.1
argh!
pissing me off!
I recommend you just to wait a couple of days with the device switched off. I have a HTC Touch, vodafone, Germany. Downloaded Blackberry 2.1 and 4.0, didn't work. Never got a PIN ("PIN pending"). Read somewhere that it worked after a couple of days, so I switched my device off and was frustrated. I even wanted to sell it on eBay already. After 2 days I switched it on again, and, guess what, I had a PIN in the Blackberry software!!! Then I configured my Touch using BlackBerry Activesync Software, and it's now working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Version 4.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So my recommendation: Try to wait 48 hours.
Currently no BB client is working with WM6 Treo, no matter if you use 2.1.2.52 or 4.0.0.67 or 4.0.0.90. Its always the same, as soon as you connect to the BlackBerry infrastructure you are blocked >>> no IP-adress >>> no connection. Sometimes you can connect one time and when you send the PIN via register now you lose the connection and never get it back again. RIM blocks all device/client/provider combinations which are not supported by the providers. So if you have a provider who supports BlackBerry on WM6 Treo you should be able to connect. I have not found a provider who is doing that so far. The same is with HTC S710. This device worked fine with BB connect 4.0.0.67 for some time, but now you are blocked by RIM if your provider does not support BB on the device.

Wrong. I have been using BBC 4 on my Hermes for months with AT&T and as far as I know the Hermes is supposed to be a "blocked" device. It's not that RIM is blocking it, it's that the software has to be HEX edited to work with WM6. No version of BBC will work on WM6 on the Treo until someone smarter than me can cook up a ROM that is HEX edited to run BBC.
Anyone succeeded in gettings this to work - I'm about to flash to Wm6 so better be sure...

I just got this and it works perfectly on my S710. I had got wipe the device and do a fresh install of the application. Give it a shot. Make sure you have an Active Sync connection to your device before trying to install.
http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_standard_bb_4.0.0.84.zip
On the AT&T Rom you get Uncertified System Software detected on the install. I assume this is because the S710 is a smartphone rather than a WM device?
Strange thing today on my 750c - Got PIN
Hi all,
It seems that something is changing w/ either RIM or ATT. I installed again today BBC 4.0.0.90 onto my 750c w/ WM6 ATT leaked ROM, after the normal reboot, surprisingly, BBC service connected to the network and I got a PIN. Clearly it said "Connected" on the status tab. Well, I connected the device to my laptop and ran the BBC Desktop, the system was provisioned properly (I think ...), Notes Backend, but now it fails to connect to Blackberry, same symptoms as before, even after multiple soft resets, see comments above. I'll play around some more w/ it and let you all know if I get anything to work. In the mean while, if anyone else has any success, please share ....
Good luck
HC
PS. Posted this in the "Palm Treo 750" forum too ... hope I don't bother anyone

Still doesn't work. I tried to install/uninstall etc. w/ same results, no connection. I am using the leaked ATT rom which otherwise works fine, no strings mods, just the rom w/o any modifications.

Anyone w/ other results ?

Installs fine. Gives me PIN and IMEI but no IP and no connection. IT says Network Available and tries to reconnect every few mins. I'll wait for few hours before unistalling it. Sometimes Blackberry Service can take little bit longer to register on USA T-mobile provider.

750V with Vodafone WM6.
Now it flashes with an IP for about a second.
For many of us having BBC running is imperative for our proper "being connected".
RIM choose to be strict on blocking "unsupported" devices and BBC client versions. There is 2 major releases of Blackberry Connect - BC client version 2.X is stable, but limited on features and version 4.X, which has few welcomed additions, but also introduces quite few annoying problems. In this thread we can share our findings, which are either specific to Kaiser / Tilt or do apply to any device.
As a thread starter, I'll bring in the good news for those interested in making BBC2.X running on Kaiser / Tilt - it's simple. In addition to my signature's HEXing of any current WM6 .nbh ROM files, one would simply replace the unicode string "HTC-Kaiser" to "HTC-Hermes" , reflash, change the Aku string to .2.3.0 and BBC2 will work as a charm.

HELP!! Blackberry Connect NOT working
Hello I have tried to get the BBC 4 working on my kaiser without success, on the kaiser I get a Pin Assigned, service connected and all but I don't get ANY email, the lookups all fail, the email I send from the Kaiser don't get sent but I don't get any error messages.
When I check the Blackberry connect desktop I see that it says PIN: unknown type, if I sync the device again I get a success message but again an unknown pin type
I'm using:
HTC Original ROM
Blackberry Version: 4.0.0.84
Transport Version: 4.0.0.86
Blackberry Enterprise Server: 4.1.2
System Version 77.122.174.117
I am on a coporate BES, which officially doesn't support BBC, is there any way they can block BBC devices?
Please any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
Vinny
Connected. You just have to get provisioned.

Does any have a bb connect working (BES) on any of the upgraded roms? Tried version .84 and .90 on helmis big storage rom and it would connect for a second and then disconnect. So i switched back to the HTC Rom.
by the way i'm using 4.0.0.84. without any problems.
HExing you should be able to make any BBC client to connect on Hermes or Kaiser/Tilt with any current WM6 ROM.

That is precisely the problem when aI try to provision my kaiser via BBC Destop I get a sucess mesage but nothing happens, and every time I connect the kaiser says your email is set up for pin "unknown" do you wan to chang it to pin XXXXX?
So I guess I'm not getting provisioned right.
Any ideas?

Hello moisha,
i am a bit confused. I had Blackberry 2.1.x running on my Hermes with a patched WM 6 Version. Now I try to implement it myself on my new Kaiser (t-mobile Germany). So far I followd the instructions under
I have not been successful so far. You recommend just to hex HTC-Kaiser to HTC-Hermes. I tried with Hexedit but could not find the string in the nbh file. I use the HTC German ROM for Kaiser (KaiserHTC_GER_1.56.407.3Reconstructed). Can you give me some more hints, how to proceed ???
Thanks ...
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
