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

Black Berry Connect for Windows Mobile

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,

BB Connect 4.0.0.97
http://www.america.htc.com/download/BBConnect_WM6_Professional_BB_al_4.0.0.97.cab

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!
Alex,

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.

Blackberry connect client for HTC Winmo 6.1

Does anyone know if the blackberry connect client is compatible for the htc opal winmo 6.1? I've searched and can't find the software to download it on my phone. If it isn't compatible for my phone maybe it is for another version of the htc and I can download it onto my phone.
Can anyone help!

yes it is possible, you can find the compatible rim software in vodafone (uk) and use htc touch bbconnect, it will work!

HTC Touch Diamond can't connect to Vodafone (Ireland) emailplus

I recently bought my HTC touch diamond on ebay running windows mobile 6.1 and set up Vodafone irelands emailplus (push email) which worked fine for first few weeks.
Now it won't connect
I can connect to internet via GPS no problem and have downloaded software a few times already
I install software and on first run it tries to connect and tells me theres been an unexpected error in connection and asks if I want to try again
I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times but no joy.... (it can't seem to connect to intiate setup)
Called Vodafone a few times who, apart from doin telling me to do the above and checking I was set up there end, are now saying it's a hardware problem and because phone wasn't supplied by them they can do no more
I don't think it's a hardware problem...
I'd be very greatful if anyone has a fix for this as having push email was one of the reasons for getting the phone
