Sorry,

but I upgraded to this Version because:

A) I am using a Vodafon Sim

B) I am using the Blackberry Software with my Vodafon Sim

I had a T-Mobile Software on this o2 XDA before but I wanted to change to the Vodafone one and I am now stuck with my mother language ;-)

Is it possible to just add the language ?

8125 Blocked - Radio In Use

Hello -

I've got BBConnect installed and looking ok so far on my Cingular 8125, but I'm stuck with the service status of "Blocked - Radio in use".

My device uses Summiter's latest ROM version 2.24.10.1 WWE, ROM Date 4/17/06, Radio version 02.25.11.

Any idea how to get past the blocked status?

Thanks

try to delete all data connections and allow BB software to generate PIN, you can add them later on
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] groggrog:
Well, that got me a little closer so thanks for that. It's no longer giving me the blocked message, but now it first says Network Available, and then Not Connected. I noticed that no IP address is provided either.

What next?

Thanks again...

same thing happening to me on Prophet - just wont connect

But on my Wizard it works perfectly with the 2.25.11 radio rom, and 2.17.7.2 WWE Normal Qtek 9100 ROM

just one note for all the others - RIM provides the same service to all of BB customers, if it's BB internet service, then you log in to their pages and use their infrastructure, it's up to the operators only to support the package they demand, IN OTHER WORDS - if it's working for a guy next to you, try and ask his ROM info, the problem is probbably on your device's side..

be patient and persistant and it will work.. Oh it's worth it 8)

Does TMO US ROM 2.26 and BB Connect 2.1.2.16 work???

Hello,

Been trying to get BB Connect to work on my wizard for over a day now. no luck.

Through reading the posts and with help of a few folks, it seems like the setup is fine.

I am wondering of the 2.1.2.16 client works with my rom?

Symptomps that I see: the BB Connect client always reports "not connected". it will dial out, establish a GPRS connection (the status icon switches to that stage), then disconnects.

Setup:

T-Mobile MDA

ROM 2.26.10.2 WWE (latest TMO US ROM)

radio: 02.25.11

Anyone got this to work????

thanks

8125 and BB Connect

I have just succeeded in getting this to work. I switched to TMobile US, my phone is unloacked.

Flashed TMobileUK Roms.

Installed BB Connect v2.1.2.16

Privisioned with BB Desktop Software

Contacted TMobile to ensure Blackberry Services were connected to my phone number.

Opened the BB serviceson 8125 and selected REGISTER NOW.

Which exact ROM version from TMO UK do you have?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jurnaza:
Thought I would post my experience.

Unlocked Cingular 8125

Qtek 2.17 ROM

Cingular 02.25.11 Radio ROM

BBConnect 2.1.2.16

Cingular 64k SIM with BB Unlimited Data Plan from my 8700c

After installing I used the Blackberry Desktop to provision the phone. A pin was generated and my BES server switched my service over to the new pin. The desktop manager also immediately began a manual sync of my calender. While connected to the desktop the connect read "Blocked - ActiveSync". Once disconnected I got an IP and was connected. A few seconds later and email started flowing in & out.

I thought I was home free, then I performed a soft reset. The bbconnect failed to start, I restarted the service several times before it finally stayed running. Once running it connected again and started receiving email again.

I left things running this way only to find that about 8 to 10 hours later bbconnect went into blocked mode. I tried restarting teh service again, but it would not stay running. I had to uninstall and then reinstall to get it up and running again. Only for it to go into blocked mode again several hours later.

I have two conclusions:

1.) This service/client is not 100% stable on Qtek 2.17 ROM

2.) Cingular/RIM eventually figure out that my PIN should not be on the network and shut it down

PS Someone else may understand RIM licensing better than I. But I was under the impression that your PIN tells RIM what providor you are using and what device. Given these details Cingular has to pay licensing to RIM if it intends to run BBConnect on the 8125's, hence why I go into blocked mode eventually???

ROM Versions

I was able to flash TMobile UK 2.21.2.6 with radio ROM 2.19.11

I tried several variations with Cingular with no success. TMobile was a walk in the park. After switching providers I did reset my 8125 so that I would start clean and then installed BB Connect.

I doubt RIM has anything to do about it... I have my BB solution running for quite some time now, as well as many other people without it being disabled..

Blackberry Enterprise Server 4

We have just migrated at work from BES 3.6 to BES 4.0.

Since the migration my qtek has stopped working. The blackberry service shows a connection through GPRS to blackberry.

But if I try to look up a address it just fails and I don't receive any mail. Has anyone got any advice?

BBConnect_PocketPC_TZP_TMO_Dual_ exe

Hi all

A version 2[1].1.2.31 is available on the tmobile.de site:

https://after-sales-service.t-mobile.de/eg_online/t-mobile/t_mda_vario.htm

Now, could someone please explain me how can I try to get BB working on my Wizard please? :)

The pdfs that I found are either in German or Dutch, no English ones ...

What I would like to do is to connect to my company work exchange server to retrieve my emails via GPRS or Wifi

1) First: Is it possible to retreive the emails via WIFI with BB client or only GPRS is working for this?

2) I don't know exactly what is the install sequence (the funny activesync first, then the BB connect client, then?)

3) Should my french provider (Orange FR) enable my SIM for BB service? I have a personal subscription, not company one

4) Should I upgrade my roms: OS 2.16.9.1 WWE TMO; radio 02.07.10 ?

5) Long shot: Did someone succeded to do this on the Orange France network? :-) (or other french networks)

Cheers,

Kelu

I tried installing this on my 6915 and never even got a PIN generated on the device. I am not sure what I need to do next. I hope that the 6915 is capble of this. If I saw that more people were having success I would try harder but I am aboutto give up trying. It is appears not ready to be used RELIABLY on Windows Mobile if this many people are having problems.

If someone could post specific, detailed, step-by-step instructions for those of us who obviously don't get it I'm sure we would all be appreciative. I definitely would be.

Tmobile MDA & Blackberry Connect

Has anyone been able to get Blackberry Connect to work on the following MDA configuration?

MDA ROM 2.26.10.2 WWE

Radio 02.25.11

BBConnect Pocket PC 2.1.2.31

BBConnect Desktop 2.1.1.18

-----------------------------------

I was able to install the software on both the MDA and PC. I received a BB pin and was able to be seen on our company's BES.

The problem I have is that I don't have a connection. The MDA attempts to connect but then disconnects.

I'd prefer not to flash the MDA with another ROM or Radio. The fact that I was able to install the software on the MDA without error is a major improvement over previous attempts (and with other devices). I fear that if I do flash the ROMs I still won't get service because I can't seem to add BB Email service to my TMobile plan.

I tried going to the TMobile website to add Corporate Blackberry service but it won't let me because I have their Unlimited Internet plan for $19.99 a month and it states it conflicts. Even if I change my phone to a Blackberry style phone. One post suggested by changing my phone on TMobile's site I would be given an option to add BB email but I wasn't.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

I have a Cingular 8125 with the following current configuration:

T-Mobile ROM 2.26.10.2 WWE

Radio 02.25.11

BBConnect Pocket PC 2.1.2.31

BBConnect Desktop 2.1.1.18

The problem I have is that I can successfully register my device with my local pc but cannot get the device connected to Blackberry. My BES configuration is correct, as I can access it off my local PC. The furthest I can get is the Blackberry Service on my 8125 saying "Not Connected", then it goes to "Network Available" and then back to "Not Connected".

I have used many different ROM's to try to get this working and I just installed the T-Mobile this morning but it didn't resolve the problem. I'm wondering if the problem I'm having is because of my Cingular account configuration.

Here's my entire Cingular configuration from their website. Does anybody see anything that would prohibit me from connecting via Blackberrry connect?

Thanks in advance...

Groggrog,

RIM is very specific about which combination of BB connection version, ROM version & radio version they allow on the BB network. This is true for both the 2.x BB Connect client as well as the older 1.x BB Connect client (I used this with the UK based rom on an XDA II for a couple of years before I upgraded to the Wizard this year).

From what I've seen for the Wizard (in english), the only combination thats widely known to work (with a BB 2.x client) is as per this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=276371&highlight=blackberry:

I use:

BB connect: 2.1.2.16

Qtek ROm: RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship

Cingular Radio Rom: Cingular_2.25.11_Radio_only

Tmobile in germany actually first put out a 2.x (older than 2.1.2.16) BB client, but it would not work with an AKU 2.x rom. On their site it was promised that a new BB client and an approved 2.x rom would be delivered in July this year but never seemed to happen. I keen an eye out on that site once in a while to see if a newer client/rom version is possible.

There is also an official O2 version/combination which I've not tried but apparently also works at: http://blackberry.o2.co.uk/xda_mini_s.asp. Looking at the docs, it looks like it uses an AKU 2.2 Rom, but the Radio Rom 2.07.10 which is older than the above combination.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] groggrog:
Titus - I'm pretty bored at work today so have some time to mess around with my device. The AKU ROM at the site you listed is for an XDA Mini-S. I'm not familiar with that device. Is that the same as the 8125 I have? Any issue you can see with me trying to put that on my 8125 to test?

Thanks again,

Greg.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] KarmaNP:
Yes It is the same device, and that ROM works perfectly with BB connect. I used BB connect for a while but I was getting bored with older roms, so these days I'm using newer ROMs (Molksi Aku 3.2 currently), which is much faster. But instead of using BB connect I'm using microsoft exchange pushmail as BB connect won't work with the newer roms as mentioned by others.

Hope this helps.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] groggrog:
I'm in the same boat, but I have to use BB Connect because it's for my company's BES server and exchange pushmail won't help. I also prefer the Molski ROM's.

Between the two ROM choices that work with BB Connect, the Qtek & the AKU, which would you suggest using? Also, since my Cingular account is set up with Blackberry Connect, shouldn't I be able to use BB Connect along with internet data on the same connection? Right now I have to disable my radio to let BB connect, otherwise it tells me the radio is blocked.

Greg.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] KarmaNP:
I would prefer the Qtek ROM for BB connect as it's cleaner compared to O2, but they neither of them gave me any problem whatsoever, Just little slower compare to new ones. About using both internet and BB connection at the same time, it's not possible as you can have only one connection at a time. Also when you use your phone, you might have noticed that your either BB connect or internet, whichever you're using gets disabled and enables again after you hang up the phone.

Faria actually said that he's working on a BB connect hack which will help us to use BB connect in newer ROMs as well. I'm waiting with my finger-crossed.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] groggrog:
The thing that confuses me is that Cingular claims that if you have the Blackberry Connect service enabled you don't need any other data plan because their BBC service handles both data & Blackberry traffic at the same time. My account with them is set up with just the Blackberry plan, but I still have to use separate connections so I guess that's just how it is. I was hoping that using blackberry.net as the only APN would do the trick but it doesn't. Any idea if this is by design or is it that Cingular just doesn't support dual use now but plans to in the future?

I really appreciate everyone's help, and I think this discussion should help others learn more about getting BBC working on our devices.

Greg.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] titus666:
You don't need another data plan probably because Cingular is lumping GPRS in with BB (you need GPRS for BB as well). The difference is different APNs thus the need to disconnect and reconnect.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] titus666:
I haven't used the O2 rom either as I said, but from what I can see it is for the same device as yours. Also, both the Qtek rom and the O2 roms are AKU2, just the O2 one is a bit newer (albeit with an older radio rom...)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Rafael K:
I took the opportunity that life in the office is somewhat slow these days (hey, it is summer now below the Equator) and decided to try to make BB Connect work in my Qtek 9100 from Claro (Telmex Brazilian sub). I had 2.22.17.1 PTB ROM and 2.46.11 radio rom. No BB Connect client would work on those, so I tried the Prodigy rom and Cingular radio, as per here. In the office, they have just implemented BES.

I was very excited at first when it worked flawlessly. I would say it is even faster than BB devices. However, I was not impressed with reconciliation of emails between server and device (for instance, the read flags where not "transferred" to the server. Also, contacts lookup in server folders is limited.

But what annoyed me the most was that Prodigy rom is very slow. It takes forever to boot and BB connect is a hungry fellow in terms of system resources. Along with this, the Claro customized rom is not hard on the eyes. So I decided to get back to it and, for now, will keep using email redirection (after all, if I don't have email redirection, I can well use a service such as mail2web - the only downside would be that people will see I am not sending from my primary email address, but anyway).

Does anyone know or has a comparison between the services available on BB devices and those on BB connect? It would be great to understand the differences between them.

Also, does anyone here use Flexmail with BB? Is it even possible? I ask that because, with MS direct push, I was able to send messages via Flexmail, which has far more options than any other mail client for ppc. Just wondering...

I am looking forward for Faria's hack to use BB connect in newer Roms. That would be very nice. Let's wait for that.

Thanks all.

Blackberry Connect not working on my Wizard

I'm trying to get Blackberry Connect running on my Wizard. I have a couple of issues that I haven't seen addressed anywhere in the forums.

First, my info:

Device = HTC Wizard G4, Cingular 8125.

OS = WM 6.1 TNT.19199 v2.

Carrier = AT&T w/ a PDA Enterprise data plan, which allows BBConnect

My company runs Blackberry Enterprise Server.

I was able to get Blackberry Connect 4.0 from here: http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=225

Does anyone have a more recent version?

Do you know if I still need to use a hex editor to spoof my OS version? I haven't tried that yet.

Does anyone currently have BBConnect running successfully on an AT&T data plan using your 8125's IMEI number?

I installed BBConnect 4, it rebooted, I tried activating the BB, but it just said "Not Connected". Occasionally if I go to Utility and click "Register" the status screen will say "Service: Network Available" then "Data Tunnel Available" then back to "Not Connected".

Can I please hear from anyone running BBConnect on a Wizard? What is your configuration? What is your version of BBConnect? Where did you get it? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] pajoch:
Amazing, after flashing firmwares, installing various BB Connect clients I finally made it work!. (I think it rather made itself work to stop suffering from comas during ROM flashes :)

I use it for BES access only (access to company emails).

Here is the device I have:

Device: MDA Vario purchased from T- mobie Slovakia (i.e. HTC Wizard ). (version WIZA200), CID unlocked

Operator: O2 Czech Republic

ROM:

IPL 2.21

SPL 2.21

OS 2.21.2.7

GSM 02.19.11

This is what I have done:

1/ T-mobile branded ROM (file used for flash name was MDA_Vario_firmware_2.21.2.111.exe)

After flash it shows this versions stated above

2/ BB Connect client installed: from german Vodafone (links in posts above) filename BBConnect_PocketPC_BB_2.1.2.31.exe.

Downloaded from german Vodafone – links in posts above file name (VPA II)

3/ On PC installed file ActiveSync_BBConnect_Desktop_Setup_2.1.1.18.exe

3/ Run Bbery setup on MDA (from settings-system) on tab Tools hit “Register with network now”. On Status tab appeared Not connected – then Data Tunnel Available – and finally Connected… and stayed! (in opposite to many previous attempts to make it work)

4/ MDA connected to PC, run BBConnect destkop sw on PC, clicked on “Connect device…”

(this added services on service tab on MDA Bbery setup)

(not sure if I did not do this before step 3 actually)

5/ on tab Tools hit “Email settings” button – it opened iexplorer and opened address bis.eu.blacberry.com/wap?brand=o2cz@BBSessionID=SW.........scramble....

I think I hit submit on screen which appeared (not 100% sure)

(not sure whether that has anything to do with making it work as I believe I use BES, not BIS…)

6/ I went home from work thinking how shall I activate the service (i.e. where to put my email and activation password which I was provided by our company’s BES server administrator

7/ on the way home emails suddenly started to arrive on my MDA.

I have no clue about how it realized who I am and how it managed to route through BES server / RIM servers / O2 provider’s servers to my device…my theory is that when I setup PC Bbconnect Desktop (step 3) it linked with my Outlook/Exchange mailbox and pulled an email address from there. In step 4 it copied these data in form of services into my MDA and then these services managed to make its way through down to my company’s BEServer

( be sure I tried many combinations of ROM/Clients, only one not tried was the JoninLA’s variant with 1.06 as his link to ROM did not work for me.

(tried Button 1.05 rom instead) but no luck.

Here is where I stand right now. I have successfully installed the client onto my Vario. I have also installed the Blackberry desktop software for Pocket PC to my computer and have synced the PINs with each other. I have a request into my corporate IT dept to make sure I am still asscoiated with out BB server from my BB wielding days but I am sure I probably am. I have changed my service at T-Mobile to include the BB add-on and they are showing me as active. And finally I have changed my GPRS settings to blackberry.net.

However, have yet to get the Vario client to register with the service. I believe that this is due to the lag of RIM turning on my account on their end. If I remember correctly with me 7290 this took some time. So Ill give it some time and see how it turns out. Not sure if I will stick with this solution since there were some shortcomings I had issues with when I used a blackberry put it will be nice to be able to shut down my computer instead of using the redirector from Intellisync.

Are there any T-Mobile settings (hardcoded) in the BB Connect client that would make this impossible?
