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?
Vinny
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 ...

i don´t have a MDA Vario, so i can´t try out.
I have the German MDA Vario but running QTEK 9100 Firmware on it .... seems it really needs the german rom to work/install properly. can anyone extract the cab file from the pocketpc client ? seems it cant launch the installer or setup program .... perhaps anyone has an idea on how to fix this ??
I too would really love info on this. We use a Blackberry Enterprise Server at work and I would be in heaven if I could use my HTC Wizard with it. Anyone??
-Keith
I don't want this fu**ing Berry Bull****, they should release a new AKU2 Rom!!!
The Vario BB client that you can download from T-Mobile Germany :
- Has a German installer
- but is English software
- Works on HTC Wizard and Universal devices, regardless of OEM (IMate, TMO, Qtek)
- But only on AKU1, not on AKU2
- and requires radio 1.12 (Wizard) or 1.06 (Universal)
- has T-Mobile settings coded into DLL files so cannot be used with other providers
(I have tested all variations)
I've installed this, I have VF account, it installs ok gets a PIN briefly gets IP address then disconnects, I have pushed the policies from our corporate BES Server, all downloaded ok, just need to check with our BES Manager to see if all setup on their end correctly, it WONT connect and stay connected, I can only assume this is a policy/encryption key issue.
What would be the best ROM for me to try this with VodaPhone BB Service...?
My actual Version is:
1.5.4.2 WWE
11/8/05
Radio 01.12.10
4.0.13.23
It connects quickly to the Blackberry Server but then disconnects.
I also am missing one of the Services (I have ALP,CHIME)
A colleague with a XDA 2 goy his working and he has 3 Services.
I have exactly the same question - which ROM would give us the #'s listed in the previous post?
The issue is the base ROM, I had to flash to a Tmobile Rom for the Tmobile Blackberry to work properly, I use Vodafone as the carrier but the corporate BES server as the Policy Push service. Vodafone will not let you set up a non VF device on their service hence having to use the Corporate BES server for email etc.. I dont need the VF service anyway
I tried the German Blackberry Connect software on both of my devices. One of them is a Qtek 9100 and the other is a Qtek 9090 (WM2003). I have a BES and a Blackberry 8700 for work.
I saw the same problem everyone else is seeing, in which the client will try to connect and then will disconnect and stay disconnected. I checked out the BES administrator and I confirmed that both clients have communicated with the BES because I was able to see each PIN associated with the Blackberry user in the admin tool.
I concur that the network settings for the client are hardcoded with Tmobile and probably will not work with any other carrier.
Anyone figure out a way to hack the client to set the network settings? Has anyone successfully registered their Blackberry Connect client using Cingular?
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.

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?

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.

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

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.
---------
im using Helmi AKU3.2 v1.3.2 (WM5)

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.

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,

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.

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

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.

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
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.

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
