Yes you needed to be CID unlocked to install another rom that is not from the same provider unless you cook your own rom without the IPL/SPLs (which is what I had to do with a G4 chip as I couldn't CID unlock the phone).

You can't have BB & the standard GPRS (Internet) connections up at the same time as they are both GPRS based but point to different APNs. You can only have 1 on at any one time. I generally suspend BB then start IE to see web pages, then I press & hold the end-call button to quit the GPRS connection, then re-enable BB. Btw, I never had to add blackberry.net as a connection, the BB client works without it.

titus

ps, congrats for getting BB to work

pps, I never did get the upload to the ftp site to work, sorry about that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] faria:
if this is true then all you need is a suported radio and a simple registry edit to change the rom version to a suported one .this way u can run any rom you like.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] titus666:
And that may be true, although I haven't heard of anyone doing this as yet...

Bad PIN

I have not tried the above instructions yet, I will admit that. However, I have installed the BB Connect on my unlocked 8125. I also got as far as Not Connect/Data Tunnel Available/then back to Not Connected.

Upon further investigation, the BES server shows up as Illegal Pin. I know it is trying to connect, otherwise the PIN would not have been transferred. So I really reluctant to try this. It appears to me the Cingular, even though I have the BB Connection package turned on, has somehow added my PIN to the DNA list @ Blackberry.net. Is there someway I can confirm/deny this?

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] groggrog:
I got my 8125 working with Blackberry Connect & Cingular a couple weeks ago. The only way it worked was to install the QTEK ROM. Check my post above about using Doggiedoor's directions above. From this I can tell that Cingular was not blocking my phone, it was blocking something in the ROM, and when I installed the QTEK it was no longer blocking it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jspohn:
OK, next

I have downloaded all of the files, but I am unable to load the ROM. I did lokWiz a few days ago, but I assume this is because I am not SuperCID'd'd'd'd. Where does this program reside????
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] groggrog:
I had a similar problem before I supercid'd. I used lokiwiz02b for the supercid. Do you have that?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jspohn:
Back Again

OK, my bad. Should read a little more. I ran LokWiz again and did the SuperCID. It appeared to function correctly. I then tried again to install the Qtek, but it still comes back with an "UPGRADE ERROR". I am running 2.5.2 currently, and it appears Qtek is a lower version. hmmmm.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jspohn:
Also

also noticed that LokWiz is giving me an error. Interal Error ITWrite. I really hope that upgrading the ROM to 2.5.2 did not screw me out of doing this. Boy, I am t'ed off.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] groggrog:
Not sure how to help you on that one. I'm sure a little searching on here'll do wonders. Good luck...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] titus666:
Only RIM blocks PINs, and they block based on Device type/ROM version/Radio version/BB connect version combinations.. ie, they allow certain combinations.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] titus666:
Doesn't sound like the SuperCID unlock worked. What version of ROM did you have before you tried the downgrade? Also what chipset (G3 or G4 (search the forum if you do not know what it means to have a G4 chip))?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jspohn:
Unlock

I have a g3. I did check that. I am going to do a HARD reboot in a minute, and rebuild it back to an original 2.5.2 ROM then try the unlock again. I will keep you posted.

anyone tried this on the Cingular 8525?

anyone tried this on the Cingular 8525?

i just got a cingular 8525 and want to use BB connect.

right now I have the unlimited media for $40 bucks (with patchy 3G coverage).

If I can make this work, I would only need the basic BB BIS for $30 bucks from Cingular and that should work.

Am I right in terms of that's how it works? thanks.

One last question, I am requesting an unlock on my phone but how do I know if the SIM card is unlocked???
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jspohn:
Update

OK, after many tries last night, I have come to the conclusion that:

1.) 2.52 has completely hosed my ability to upgrade/update anything.

2.) LokWiz 2b no longer functions. LokWiz3 appears to work, and it does unlock the phone, i.e. a sim from another carrier works fine, but I am unsure if it is SuperCID'd.

3.) I am no longer able to alter the ROM in any way. Even attempted to reload 2.52 from Cingular, and that now fails as well.

Plan B: Purchase a new TyTn......

Hello,

I would like to try this way but I can't download the files.

Do you know why?

Thanks for your help. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] titus666:
So what versions of ROM/IPL/SPL did you start with and moved to? It still sounds like it is not SuperCID unlocked. I seem to recall reading on the forum that there were some 2.x roms that you cannot downgrade from.

You should still be able to cook a new room with the same IPL/SPL as what you are using currently however.

Also I didn't think LokWiz 3 did SuperCID unlock, only SIM unlock. LokWiz 2b did both SuperCID & SIM unlocks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] titus666:
Hey Faria - I (think I) read in another thread someone saying you were looking at trying this out. Is it true?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jspohn:
I don't remember where I started. I know LokWiz3 doesn't do SuperCID (now :0)), but 2b not longer functions on the 2.5.2 ROM. I guess gonig to 2.5.2 was the clincher.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jspohn:
OK OK

UPDATE!!!!!

I was able to downgrade, using a Qtek ROM. Then, once back @ 1.01, I was able to unlock and SuperCID unlock!!!!!!

Rock'in now!!!!

I then installed the Prodigy ROM, without any issues.

Now - I cannot get the Radio Only file listed here. I keep getting permission denied on the FTP server. HELP!!!!!! I am so close!!!!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jspohn:
Got It!!!!

OK, I don't claim to be an expert, in fact very far from it. Put this forum, and others here really helped quite a bit. So, after many trials, and almost "bricking" the darn thing twice, it works!!!

First off, I have 8125 G3. It was at IPL 2.5.2, which was my first mistake. Upon doing this, it effectivly stopped Lokiwiz (2b and 3) from working. So, I downgraded to a ROM @ version 1.0x. This allowed LokiWiz2b to do both unlocks.

Then I followed the instructions to a "T". Let me offer this advice: Read the Instructions posted here, then read them again, and before doing anything else, read them two more times. That is all I have to say about that.

I did not have to setup the BB connection, as it just worked. It toke about 8 hours to start getting emails, not really sure why, but it.

In closing, let me offer this advice:

1.) When flashing the ROM, mine got to 98% and sat for a long time. DONT GET WORRIED (like I did :0( ). Let it go. I almost bricked it because I got impatient and pulled the plug. Got really lucky here.

2.) Don't use Vista!!!!! I tried this once just to see if this would help/hurt. It did not hurt anything, but it did disable the flash program from working. XP is the way to go.

3.) If you have trouble getting the files above, read other posts here. I ended up using a command prompt FTP session to get them. The last file, the radio file, is not properly cased in the post, so be careful.

4.) Never Give Up. Keep reading here. I cannot even begin to tell you all of the posts I found helpful. Hat's off to the many people here who are obviously much more in tune with this stuff than I.

Anyway, thanks to all.

One More Thing

I also found out the BB Connect interferes with Bluetooth modem operation. I have my phone Bluetooth'ed into my laptop and use it as an internet conection via GPRS in times of emergency, i.e. no wifi or other means.

In order to get this working again, I had to Suspend BB Connect, otherwise, the connection from the laptop attempted to use the Blackberry connection instead of the standard GPRS. Just FYI.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] titus666:
Congrats and well done. Did you enable PIM/calendar? I ask because I found the client unstable when PIM was enabled.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] titus666:
Its not bluetooth modem, but BB vs normal GPRS. It is because BB uses a different APN than "normal" GPRS internet access, and unlike a real BB device, the BB connect client does not do MDS passthrough, so you can't "surf" via the BB connection. The upshot is that you need to suspend BB before re-starting a GPRS connection for internet access.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jspohn:
Calendar and BB and Bluetooth

Yes, I did turn on Calendar. I have had no issues at this point, but it's only been one day. The only thing that I had an issue was holidays that extended accross midnight. It seems Lotus creates them that way. I had to delete them all, but no biggy.

The bluetooth connection was important, so I was just glad I got it working. I understand that both cannot be active at the same, it just seemed weird that the modem connection went there first, and not the standard GPRS, which is where I thought it would. Again, no big deal as I only do that in emergencies. Just so long as I can do it when I need too.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] titus666:
Hmmm we use exchange, I wonder if that makes a difference. I also have something in the order of 50MB of calendar entries...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Rafael K:
It works!!!!!

I would like to thank you for posting your experiences here and helping me accomplish this. I have a G4 device and, after CID unlocking it with imei-check (yeah, it hurts), I managed to load Prodigy ROM and Cingular Radio and it worked as mentioned in the first post above.

However, I was not thrilled with reconciliation of emails between the device and the servers, although mail came very quickly. In the end, I decided to uninstall it all and go back to my original ROM (it is a Qtek 2.22 rom, from the Brazilian provider Claro ), which is in Portuguese, its faster and better looking.

I would like to try other ROM/Radio combinations (specially newer and faster ones). Does anyone keep track of what works and what does not with the Blackberry client?

Thanks again

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Rafael K:
I believe it is blackberry.net for BES and BIS. You shouldn't need to bother with this, though. The BB Connect connects no matter you have a GPRS connection set up or not.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] R1blade75:
After reading each post, if I'm understanding this correctly...

1) We can use our 8125 as a BB.

2) Do we need to sign up for the Blackberry Enterprise or can we just use our ulimited Media Net?

3) Do we have to sign up for another service?

It sounds like once the updates are done, we can access our corporate emails through the 8125 where before, you would need the BB.

Is this true?

This post summarizes my problems. I have seen posts scattered throughout the boards of my days of searching. Currently, IE calls up Media Net, then Blackberry calls up blackberry services. This is all working - getting emails, surfing the net, etc. There are 2 concerns

1 - What is Cingular charging me? Since I made the switch, I do not see my data useage on the web. I'm going to be calling them.

2 - Sometimes when flipping from Media.Net to My Blackberry there is a 2 minute delay. It is automatic, but the lag can be annoying.

Why do I need to switch back and forth to media.net if I don't have to?

When I first bring up IE it says "The BlackBerry Browser could not be repaired, please contact your System Administrator." Not sure what that's about. A second press sends it off to media.net

I did try enterring blackberry.net into my connections with the use ip compression header checked but none of that helped.

Isopropyl Alcohol?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoriginalsss:
Similar thing happened to me - I have a white nexus, got swiped with a black pen. A very light wipe with a Clorox (or any disinfecting) wipe on the spot did the trick for me... the surfaces of the red and white are identical, so it may hold up. Again, mine is white, so even if it discoloured slightly, it may not be that noticeable. Good luck!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
A small bit of alcohol works or hand sanitizer works as well. If you're very careful it shouldn't do any damage but it will take a little elbow grease to get off. A microfiber cloth will probably be best to get it off as well.

Too much moisture for a phone though. A small amount of hand sanitizer won't hurt the phone and will get it cleaned off.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] weregoingunion:
Ok, so last night before my wife went to bed she plugged in her phone after it ran out of battery. I was still awake at least a half hour later and noticed the phone boot up. When some time had passed and I noticed the screen was still on, I looked over and noticed that it had booted into the initialization process - like she had just purchased the phone.

So I'm panicking because she has loads of photos on there and I need to save them if possible. The weird part is - and I'm sure this is why this happened - the memory is completely full (I think). Under "Storage" settings it says "Not enough storage space" and under that it shows "Total Space: 10.97GB" and then "Applications: 186GB". So the bar at the top just shows a fraction of green which is applications and nothing else. The rest of the categories it should be showing pop up and disappear every time I re-enter Storage (downloads, pictures, videos, etc) but they are not shown on the top bar.

This phone is NOT rooted. Because it was her phone, I did little to it beyond install a file manager to copy pictures to an external memory card (which rarely worked well.) This file manager is gone and so is every downloaded program.

When I plug the phone into the computer, I have two options: Connect as Camera and Connect as Media Device. When I open explorer it shows a folder "Phone" and says "0 bytes free of 10.8GB." The media device option does the same thing.

I have enabled the USB debugging device option which says that "debugging mode launches when USB is connected" but that changes nothing - I still connect as camera or media device and I still say the same thing.

The only "solutions" I am finding are to download some ****ty spyware invested program to recover files.

At this point, I only want to salvage whatever pictures I can. Nothing else. I am afraid that if I download anything to the phone it is going to start overwriting the "lost" data but maybe not because the phone is still aware it's there. I can't clear up any space either from the phone because the only thing it shows is on it is stock apps. After copying the pictures to a computer I will format it and she can start fresh.

PLEASE give advice on how to simply access the internal storage to copy pictures to my computer. As I've explained I'm kind of at a brick wall, so I need an obvious solution if there is one. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] weregoingunion:
Please help. I have tried everything. I can't even download a File Manager because it says "insufficient space." Because it reinitialized, I *only* have the default apps. There are NOTHING I can delete.

So while the phone is full, the OS is in a fresh state with no possibility to download a program to find pictures and transfer to SD card.

Anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SH4YD33:
If the phone is in fresh state then you should have a gallery application to check to see if you have any photos on the internal memory.

If your photos were on the SD card get a sdcard reader from a store and plug it directly into your pc.

[Galaxy Camera General] apprentice:
As one of the first to own one of these cameras on launch day, I have been pretty much promoting it everywhere and certainly contributed a lot in these and other similar forums. But as time has passed it's evident that Samsung has no love for this first edition as they have failed to keep it updated. Even the second edition offers little improvement, just a slight memory increase and minor CPU increase,it still runs Jelly Bean. It's a real shame as these two had so much potential.

The Galaxy Camera takes superb photo's but the interface lags and the start up is slow and it lacks so much that Kit-Kat could fix. Then there's the various scene modes found on the Galaxy S4 and S5 that aren't available on this capable camera.

So.. I recently played around with a Galaxy S4 Zoom and apart from only having 10x zoom rather than 21x and slightly smaller screen the whole experience seemed better. Which prompted me to look at the upcoming GALAXY K ZOOM. Released this week in the UK sporting a 20.7MP camera, better connectivity, double the ram, faster processor, much better battery life, Xenon and LED flash, NFC, many more scene choices, Android 4.4.2 and a lot more specs too many to mention... all in a lighter smaller chassis, and all for £360 (and includes a case thrown in for pre-orders worth £20) means I am done with the Galaxy Camera and today I have ordered the K Zoom.

I hope things for you guys improve, but I wouldn't be holding my breath sadly.

So, farewell Galaxy Camera forum, it's been nice knowing you.

[Galaxy Camera General] apprentice:
It is, but I need a pocketable camera that can also make and receive phone calls and is much more likely to be updated by Samsung. The original camera was once snappy but it just failed to be updated making it sluggish and buggy. The pictures I have seen taken from the K Zoom are just as impressive as my GC1

I am receiving it tomorrow and will post up a small review here.

While I'm happy with my GC2, I look forward to your impressions about the K Zoom.
