Installing Blackberry Connect

Hi, I have done a lot of searching on this topic, but haven't been able to find anything definitive on the best way to install blackberry connect. I am about to pick up a Siemens SX66 (Cingular version, but will be using on Tmobile) and want to make sure that I will be able to get the blackberry functionality to work.
I have a few questions/comments/observations that I would love to get everyones feedback on. If there something out there that explains how to get it working, I am sorry and please feel free to point me in the right direction.
1. My understanding is that the blackberry connect software is in the extended rom. So far I have been able to find the following cab files which I believe have the blackberry software: htc_pocketpc_tmo_germany_2.0.0.25-18.cab, HTC_PocketPC_TMO_Austria_Germany_Load_Working.cab and htc_pocketpc_tmo_england_2.0.0.25-18.cab. Not sure what else is in here, but it looks like the blackberry client is there as well.
2. If I use one of those roms, what language will the software be? Will have to use the tmobile UK version for english?
3. I have been reading about people have problems with the phone rom. These are post from a while back, it seems that the UK blackberry client need version 1.0 and the german version need 1.06? Is this correct or can I use the lasted phone rom?
4. Is there any limitations on the System Rom or Extended Rom? Do I need a specific version? I want to make sure I have english on the device though.
5. Let's say I do get all the right software. Is there a problem in the US where Blackberry won't register Blackberry Connect PINs? I was reading in another forum that someone was having a problem with this on their SX66 and also I am upgrading from a Sony Ericsson P910a where I couldn't get my PIN added to Blackberry servers.
The main reason I want the device is to replace my blackberry and this is extremely important. Other functionality is awesome, but secondary as I need to make sure I have access to my corporate email.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

There are 2 threads in the blue angel section that have Blackberry connect ih the title. Might be of help.

Thanks saw those posts after, I figured the info would be in this section. I posted some questions there as well, but any help would be appreciated. Not sure if this is going to work....oh well..

To the best of my knowledge...
NOBODY has been able to make the BB Connect software work on SX66 on Cingular.
I've all but given up. Maybe WM2005 will be different...

Crap, though I take it the problem is Cingular not the phone right? Do you know if anyone has been able to get it to work on T-Mobile? What is the problem you are having, is it the PIN / IMEI registration issue?

that's certainly a part of it...
pin/imei, software (nothing supported). The blackberry connect desktop software for XDA2 is a couple years old and does not let you change the PIN.
No way to configure, so you're hosed. The O2 software on the pocket pc is also locked to an O2 blackberry APN. No way to change that either.
It's possible that somebody somewhere has taken the T-Mobile German MDAIII software -- and somehow obtained the T-Mobile desktop software -- and translated both --
but I doubt it! Definitely not to be found anywhere on this site...
Of course, I'D LOVE TO BE PROVEN WRONG, as this has been the biggest issue for me since I got this bloody device.
Bottom line: either use the crap XpressMail redirector product that Cingular offers, or use IMAP/POP on a "pull" basis. Neither way works well. We're screwed until Cingular steps up to the plate or until some brave soul on this board saves us all!

Umm i hate to say this but also that PIN number is alos tied to a carrier, and RIM will NOT release that PIN number to be used on another carrier's network, i know, i am a data support rep with Cingular. if you want something just like the Blackberry then go pay and get the GoodLink solution, otherwise i wouldnt complain about something free that cingular offers, I use it and i agree it isnt the best but works pretty damn well considering it FREE!!! for the PErsonal Edition. Besides, if you wanted to use the BWC (BlackBerry Web client) it isnt exactly Push either, the only forms available are the Redirector and the BES, but considering Congular is offering a solution for FREE i woulnt complain if i were you. If you wanna get mad at not having that solution get mad at RIM not Cingular...... :!:

Re: that's certainly a part of it...
Well I have the desktop software in english and just installed the german software on my sx66. I think I got it to connect but its hard to tell. Iwonder if there is any other software out there....

Damm, I actually just found the software for 2.0 software for Tmobile UK. Now it only gets an IP address for two seconds then looses it. I think its the same problem I had with my p910a I can't get the server to recognize it.

Please prove me wrong!
Figure out how to make this work, and you'll be the hero of every Cingular / SX66 user on this board!

I am getting much closer now, I hacked (hex edit) one of the dll files to point to an IP address of 206.51.26.192 instead of 206.51.26.189. I know the .192 is the right address from my old blackberry. Now I actually stay live on the APN with an IP address and everything, where before I would get one for a second and get kicked out. I think it's a matter of registering it now. If anyone wants to try this dll, replace the one in the windows directory. Also I will upload the version of blackberry connect I am using... Please try as well...

Here is the dll I mentioned...replace this with the one in windows directory

Seem s like you are getting somewere on this issue.
Feel like writing a How to so that we can post it on wiki?
If you need help PM me I can also move what ever files that you like on the FTP site.

Thanks, just haven't gotten it to work totally yet, but that may just need a call to Tmobile to ask them to set it up. I have made progress in the fact that my blackberry.net apn now stays connected, where before it would disconnect after a minute or two. I think I am half way there. Need some more people to play around who have tried before to see if they get anywhere...

Can you also post the desktop software version you're using?
There hasn't been a recent posting of the BB Config software in quite some time...
Thanks!

It's too large, check the ftp server. look for somethign called bb_desktop_sw_mda3_20.exe It's up there somewhere.... poke around uploads as well...
Oh wait... I got it from tmobile directly, hehehe...
http://www.t-mobile.de/business/blackberry/smallbusiness/1,8236,8577-_,00.html

So you're using the German version?
Make it work, and I won't care what language it's in!

I agree, first I tried the german one, before I found the Tmobile Uk one. Did you try downloading everything and installing?

yup...
still can't make it work on my end... although I haven't changed anything in Hex...

Try the dll I fixed up also, let me know if it makes any difference....

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.
---------
im using Helmi AKU3.2 v1.3.2 (WM5)
anyone can help pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase.. im a blackberry Tier 1 support with etisalat operator. also i have a testing sim with BIS (which is blackberry internet service). i would love to make it work on my PDA2K.

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 (2 or 4) and WM6

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

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.

Now it flashes with an IP for about a second.

BlasckBerry on Kaiser / Tilt

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.

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

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.

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 ...

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.

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
