No, don't mind flashing. i back up my data every friday.

Only problem is the net connection, i tried downloading several over the last few days. i get 70% through and the net crashes. ny work pc doesnt support resuming and my personal is having dramas with my phone connection (typical).

you are correct, i used a setmodeid from one of the posts, it was the only one that would run with BAS. I could remove it but obviously i need to flash the ROM for this to work.

i tried the reg tweeks with no improvements. i might have to wait for my wired connection to arrive and download the new Rom.i just hope ican get my stuid IT department to issue a new pasword for my email server. they are very difficult. i hope with all the pressure from personnel are pla ing on them to not use BB they will eventualy convert to WM or Iphone (hope not the latter).

never the less, i will persist with rom download. im tring either miri or arthemius (cant remenber exact spelling). i noticed their are so many versions of these and not sure what will work on my model, i hope i dont brick it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
Ok, good luck with flashing your rom. You will need to flash the rom first then install BB Connect to find out what it thinks the phone is before reg editing the rom to HTC-Elf. Remember to keep to the same number of digits, so you will need to copy and paste the dots over the additional letters if there are any. Then you will need to change the AKU to .0.4.2 if you use HTC-Elf and also change the device ID to HTC-Elf. THEN install BB Connect.

Good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rousie83:
Ok, Got the Miri ROM,

Havnt ran yet but ill do it soon, Fingers crossed!!

I know how to change the device AKU but how do i mod the Device ID,

Cheers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rousie83:
I cant get the rom to install, keeps coming up with a comm error before goin past 0%. Lucky it recovers ok, ill try the other rom (if i can get it to download ok).

is there any reason for the above error you are aware of, the active sync connection seems solid.

ill keep trying, not having much luck technicaly this week.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rousie83:
Ive read a bit about the SPL being the issue,

Ive found a version from Dark Forces Team (HSLP 4) that is compatible with my SPL 1.42.0000 (which i found by performing a shut down and reboot while holding the volume down button)

im scared, this seems to be getting harder and harder.

at least its giving me something to do in a new town

Apparently HSPL will disable CID checks and allow flashing of any rom without the use of a gold card (even unsigned ones). [what ever that means, ive never gone this far into phone development]

im a bit confused, if i use the RUU file to install the rom does it carry with it the moded (to elf) .nbh or is there a procedure to install the .nbh?

Helpppp

im having fun though, i just think its a bit beyond my expertise.

im not a hacker but do have good cpu skills and am a quick learner (just bad speller)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rousie83:
Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk,

ROM installed, Seems ok.

A bit strange compared to original but i can try others if i dont like it.

Should be worth it if BBC works.

Ill try the Elf mod now.

Only reason for the step by step is so other australian HD2 users can get BBC to work if i crack it.

Down with IT department!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
I particularly agree with your last statement! I have had more trouble with BBC than with any other mod.

If you now install BBC (I use the 097 version) and check what device yours is (in the about tab) so you can then Hex-edit your rom before re-flashing it. Read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=593162 to see how to do it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rousie83:
ive done the rom install, changed the HTC name from J15 (???? only line i could find remotly close to anything in the posts) to elf using Neo hex edit.

i havent done the model id change as i cant find how to do it yet.

Changed the aku to .0.4.2.

Installed BBc, the about tab snow shows HTC LEO.

Tried the connect with the same responce as before,

ill try the setmode id change to raph and give it another go, i hope i hear back from you for the model id change to elf.

I tried running the RUU first, this brings up new files in the RUU and .nhb folder with one labled MODEL ID.Fig. ive looked for the same as before but cant find anything to edit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
I don't know what J15 is, but that wasn't it. Can you change it back? You should be able to find "HTC-Leo" in the search string. It must be there!!!

By the way, once you have found it and changed it to HTC-Elf, you won't have to worry about the setmodelid stuff again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
Also remember to change the AKU BEFORE installing BBC. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rousie83:
The following lines are the only reference to the Model id i could find.

an i editing the right file, if not ill try duttys rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
It IS there!!!

I have downloaded the Miri_HD2 file and searched for HTC-Leo. It appears twice. In the Hex editor you open the ruu_sisgned.nbh file and use the search function, checking the Unicode string box. See the screenshot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rousie83:
Could you provide the link you found the ROM on.

Ive used HXd and Neo editor, search provide "pattern not found".

I cant even see the line you have (000188800) in the screen shot and ive scrolled through the whole list.

Ive obviously got the wrong ROM. my file is named Miri_HD2_WM65X_23139_Sense25_V23.0_WithSwype.rar

The .rar contains

-CustomRUU.exe

-ruu_signed.nbh which i did the edit fom j15 (????) and the search with both editors

Ive unpacked and placed in my docs and also tried the rar in the edit.

Ill download and re-flash with the provide link.

The 4 digit password should expire sometime today. I spoke to a few others at 2work and they said IT resend the code all the time for various reasons.

if i can get the connection to be solid ill give them the list of excuses my boss provided me with, as i said he is keen for this to work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
Hi rousie,

Sorry, I have already deleted the rom, but you can still read from my screenshot at the top of it - it is a different one from the one you say. Either way, I still think it should be there. Did you tick the boxes for unicode string and text string as shown in my screenshot??? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rousie83:
Hi again,

Ive Done the hex edit, the unistring box was the problem.

the BBC about tab now shows Elf.

still the same connection issues:(

on the status tab it comes up as network avaliable, then data tunnel avaliable then Not connected.

on the ID tab it shows PIN-pending and IP address shows no connection, if i watch it while it is attempting to connect it shows the IP address for a second and then goes back to no connection.

I noticed that since i have been in my new town the 3G icon has never displayed.

We do have 3G here as my BB and old Touch HD display the Icon, could this be the issue?

I googled it a while back after i noticed that i didnt get reception in remote locations when i used to(worked away a fair bit) and if i swapped the SIM back to the old phone i would get full bars.

The posts said the same thing. people have said that the Radio is weaker on the HD2, HtC have not been very helful (suprise, suprise). They say it could be a radio version issue (can be fixed) or a hardware issue which cant be corrected.

Do you know of a Radio upgrade on hand? have others tried this?

im going back to my old city next wednesday, ill try there to eliminate the issue.

Ill aslo try the procedure on my old THD and see how i go. (its better than the BB my work gave me).

Is there anything i may have forgot to do.

I even tried the reg edit

HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts

HKLM\Comm\cellular\RIL

with no improvements.

Ive attached an instruction (for users if we get this working),

Please have a read and see if i missed anything.

im not giving up, im very persistant (mainly need and hate for both IT and the BB is driving me).

thank you so much for your help so far, any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
Wow, you've been busy with your instructions! I hope you get to use them...

I have found an error in your instructions. Hopefully this is the error which will get it to work.

After item 17, you should change your device ID to HTC-Elf. See the attached screenshot.

By the way, you should uninstall BBC and use total commander or file explorer to delete all remaining files before changing your device id. Then re-install BBC.

Good luck
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rousie83:
Hi again,

didnt take too long to write up the instruction, going over it slowly to improve.

I did the device id change, still no connection:(

do you think the 3g issue could be it?.

i havnt tried on my touch HD yet as it is a lot more stable on the internet connection (cant wait till my wired net is on).

i might try the whole procedure again,

any suggestions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
Sorry it's not working. I only have a few suggestions.

1. Try different BBC's. 097 works for me, but maybe 106???

2. Try a rom with WM6.5 instead of WM6.5.x?

3. Change device id to HTC-P3450 in the settings folder (instead of HTC-Elf).

Good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rousie83:
Thanks for all your help,

ill try the suggested.

please keep watching the post, i will try the suggested and then try the previous when i have a solid 3g symbol.

ill also look for a radio upgrde if i find the 3g symbol was the issue.

ill let you know how i go

thanks again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
I don't think 3G will have any effect I'm afraid...

BBConnect working on TP2

Dear All

After many research I trayed similar method to Xperia X1.

I hexedited rom(Energy.RHODIUM.29022.Sense2.5.Jul.04) at 00349D18.Put Raphael instead Rodhium and change AKU to .1.6.0

After that from two weeks my TP2 working with BBConnect 106 without any issues.

Regards
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] peebee01:
I just did!

Without bbconnect I cant really use my new TP2 on a daily basis but already sold my Touch Pro......
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] quattro_rs:
Hi,

i was able to connect for about two hours but after i suspended the service im now unable to connect again :( im using 4.0.0.90
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mirage22:
how does HTC call it a business phone without Blackberry?? :(

come on... don't htc engineers visit these forums? understand our plight guys!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mirage22:
ok.. this is the latest reply i recd from HTC Europe.

So basically we need to wait for the Rhodium to release in the USA to get an update for bberry connect! :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AirwolfUK:
I just ordered my TP2 and need Blackberry Connect to work.

HTC Europe support said that Blackberry Connect is only for the US market and have no plans to release it for the UK.

Also didn't know when it was going to be released for the TP2

What gives...!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] peebee01:
Here's the answer I got:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mallman:
lol you have to admit they are some of the best at dodging the issue :) it will come in time, this always happens with new devices
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AirwolfUK:
hi Quattro_rs

hi, how did you manage to get it connected in the first place?

thanks-
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AirwolfUK:
I have been away from windows mobile devices for the past 2 years but this week took delivery of a TP2.

From a completely new device i installed .106

Whenever i try press register on the utility tab i get a data connection and an IP address flashes up for a second or so.

I am wondering if i have the connection settings correct in the connection manager - Work/ internet/ proxy etc.

without a stable connection i cannot go through the Enterprise Activation process (well at least give it a try)

any pointers appreciated
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mallman:
it simply will not work until a new version (newer than .106) of bb connect comes out. You will just have to be patient.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AirwolfUK:
Thanks Mallman at least i now know that i am hitting the same brickwall as everyone else.

I'll wait, and in meantime try and persuade my company to enable OMA on the exchange server for me
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fadimck:
Any news about the relase date of BB Connect?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:
It's kinda working

Well folks, like I said before, as soon as we can manipulate the model-id (HTC-Rhodium) of our phone, blackberry connect will work.

With the invaluable help of cmonex (thanks again for the code examples and your help!!!), I was able to patch the model-id during runtime.

I did this hack a while ago to get bbc running on several devices on which it was not allowed (by RIM) to run on. For doing that it was nessecary to change the model-id in ROM (in nk.exe to be exact). This was not possible for the rhodium because we only can flash manipulated ROMs when we have hard-spl (yeah, I know you where aware of that... :-) )

However, I asked cmonex for help finding a way to manipulate the model-id during runtime, and we succeeded.

The following will work for HTC-Rhodium only and is highly experimental. You try this on your own responsibility. I can not be held responsible for any damage caused by this ;-)

I will make a cab if I hear reports that this worked for more people than just me...

Instructions:

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

- Make sure you have uninstalled blackberry connect before doing the following.

- Attached you will find a small zipped executable (SetModelID.exe). Unzip it and copy it over to the \windows\ folder of your device.

- Open a registry editor and navigate to HKLM\init

Create a new string with the name "Launch130" and a value of "SetModelID.exe" (without the quotes of course)

If Launch130 already exists, choose a number higher than, it doesn't really matter, just make sure it is higher than the other entries so it get started after everything else.

This makes sure the exe ist started after every softreset.

- Make a softreset, or execute the SetModelID.exe manually.

- The program changes your model-id from "HTC-Rhodium" to "HTC-Raphael" in memory

- Install Blackberry Connect like you usually do (My tests where successfull with version 4.0.0.106)

- After installation and the auto-reset through BBC open the BBC settings and go to the Info-Tab. Under device-name there should now be HTC-Raphael.

- If you're using BES configure your device using enterprise activation or the desktop app

- I don't know the procedure for BIS, but you know what you will have to do, don't you? ;-)

Let me know if this works for you and if so, think about making a small donation to cmonex or the forum!

Cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AirwolfUK:
hi c0rnholio

Thanks for the opportunity to try again....

Followed your instructions and although the ID has changed to HTC-Raphael, I still cannot get a connection/ IP address so I cannot perform Enterprise Activation.

Any ideas, other REG hacks to try, would be appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:
Strange.

Ok, reg edits are not needed any more because BBC seems to not longer depend on OS-version and AKU, etc.

Did you get a registration message in your system-inbox after installation completed? You normaly will get this even if the bbc software is not ep-activated. The message is from your provider to acknowledge the registration to the service in general (I think it proves that you're subscribed to bbc at your provider).

Did you get a PIN?

I've uninstalled and reinstalled it 3 times to proof it is working correctly. Maybe you should try to reinstall it one more time.

Initially, even if the enterprise activation is not done, the bbc software should stay connected and receive a PIN.

Do you have the chance to activate it via desktop application?

Is your EP-activation password correct?

That's all just suggestions, but maybe will help.

Cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AirwolfUK:
thanks for your help.

I didn't get any messages or PIN. Stuck at PIN Pending and no connection - just like i had before your model-id change.

I will perform a Hard Reset and try from scratch.

Let you know how i get on

Cheers...

EDIT

No change after a hard reset

If I go to the utility tab and press register now, I get a data connection and IP address appears for a second and then drops

from about TAB i have:

Blackberry Version: 4.0.0.106

Transport: 4.0.0.102

Blackberry Enterprise Server Version:

System Version:30.138.64.73

Device Type: HTC-Raphael

No luck from the desktop application either. No PIN and an error saying the service is not running on the device

I wonder if has anything to do with the fact that mine is Vodafone branded device?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:
Wow, that sucks hard. BBC needs two services and one process running.

The two services are "BlackBerrySecurity" and "BlackBerryLog", the process is bbmain.exe.

Can you see them running?

Have you tried bbc version .104?

That's really strange, because I got a PIN and stayed connected immediatly after installation.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:
Maybe a dumb question, but is your SIM subscribed to BlackBerry at vodafone? Did it work before on an other device?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AirwolfUK:
BB Connect Working on TP2

Well I reinstalled again, got my PIN almost straight away and have gone through Enterprise Activation......

Email is flowing nicely...

Thanks for your fix and a donation will be on it's way
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:
Cool! Nice to hear that it worked for you too. I was breaking my head to think what the cause of not running on your device could be.

OK folks, so if it will not work on the first run, try to reinstall again and again ;-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AirwolfUK:
I re-traced my steps and I actually installed this file (I cannot remember where I got it from)

_HTC_Touch_HD_BBConnect_WM6_Professional_BB_4_1_.0.0.106.exe

replacing the previous .cab based install. I am not sure if it was actually this that got it working but thought I would share.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] peebee01:
Thanks,

followed your instructions and see indeed HTC-Raphael being reported as deviceID. However, the situation is like before BBconnect tries to establish a connection but it is immediately terminated again.

There does seem to be a major difference as I normally got this behaviour only after provisioning my account. Up until that point a data connection would be made.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:
You encounter the same experience like AirwolfUK did. Try reinstalling. He got it working this way.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ButtonBoy:
It tells me my s/n is invalid. Can somebody provide one that allows me do D/L this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:

google for blackberry connect on domain sems.org

you will find .106 for download there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mobilefan:
I need help. I installed SetModelID.exe but after I installed BB Connect onto the TP2 there is no PIN and the phone is not connected. I checked the "About" tab and the Model ID is still Rhodium!

Is there any way to check whether the Model ID has been changed to Raphael without installing the BB Connect?

I have done a lot of hard resets and still could not change the Model ID.

I tried to use BB Connect on my TYTN2 and it went OK. I guess I must have done something wrong about changing the Model ID. The following are the procedures:

1. Copy the Zip File to my PC.

2. Unzip it in the folder of my PC.

3. Copy the .exe file from my PC to Windows folder of the phone.

4. Click the file to install it.

5. Then I do the change of registry (I understand that it was mentioned above that it might not be necessary but I did that anyway).

6. Then I installed BB Conncect .106 version.

7. The phone will restart and I will see that the model ID still shows Rhodium.

Am I missing something here?

Any help is appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AirwolfUK:
hi mobilefan - are you absolutely sure you are changing the registry correctly. First time round i spelt the .exe incorrectly - SetModeID.exe

BBConnect does a soft reset at the end of the install process so you will loose the setting if you have simply run SetModelID.exe from file manager.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mobilefan:
Hi AirwolfUK, thank you for your help. I did the whole thing again, including the change of registry and I installed BB Connect and I can see that the model ID has been changed. However, I got no PIN and IP and the phone is shown as not connected. I guess I just need to keep unstalling and installing till it works!

PIN in pending

Hi all,

Thanks for this workaround,

EDIT2:

Maybe this information can help you my system version inside BB connect : 30.138.64.73

I still have same issue (PIN in pending)

My process was :

1-Copy SetModelID.exe to Windows folder

2-Create registry string as Launch130 (last one) with data value as SetModelID.exe

3-Install BB connect version 4.0.0.106

Device Type : HTC-Raphael (OK)

After second installation of BB connect, still same.

Does anyone have an idea with my issue.

I'm using standard 3G/HSPDA connection without BB subscription.

If the subscription is mandatory, can I retrieve my PIN by WIFI connection also, I would like to be sure that is working well before I take a BB subscription if necessary.

Thanks

Stef
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] gunggu:
Well, what happens to me was:

After i released the pin from my old Javelin, I hard resetted the TP2 hence i had to install bb connect and do the procedures again. At this point, i already tried for 5th installation but the PIN is still pending, then i remembered i havent activate my BB service (subscribe) from the provider, then after i activated it (by sms) and received notification of activation, reistall the application again. wa-la..the PIN is there!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] leginag:
So we are still waiting for a new version of BB Connect if we don't feel comfortable with changing the device ID?
