Just a quick question:

I have a TP2 running on Verizons network. I currently do not have a BB plan and get my internet through Verizons unlimited data plan.

I am only interested in in getting the blackberry connect software working so I can chat with blackberry users. Please let me know if this is possible without signing up for the blackberry service through verizon.

Thank you!

Hi, this is nonsense. I went through the hoops getting it to work on tmob but got there. just tell them to switch to the BB data service (dont let them argue). It just means you pay BB for data and go via their servers, but without it you cant get BB to work on winmob (you don’t need the other package). I know this is right as I had to switch to AT&T and got their BB service, and all worked seamlessly.

For those having trouble getting their PIN, have you used your sim on a regualr BB device first??? I hadnt, but went into T-MOB and asked to see if a BB worked with my sim (so I could find out whether it wasnt working cos of TMOB or my work's blackberry enterprise system). As soon as I fired the BB up, it generated the necessary PIN. THEN, what worked for me, was putting my SIM back into my TP2 and connecting to my work pc via activesync, and running the BB enterprise software for winmob. It asked to 'activate' my device and it changed to a new pin it had generated. After this i got a pin and connection and all worked.

Another thing... generally if i use my hotmail, search for weather, or browser (any data service) on my tp2 it makes the BB software says 'service blocked, radio in use'. Thats why you cant have hotmail on 'always online'. Every so often you may have to go to comm mgr and disconnect data, then BB will reconnect (or you can disconnect and reconnect in the BB sw).

Overall using BB has slowed down my machine, and i get quirks like always showing one unread msg when there isnt one, but its worth it to keep the device and not get a BB.

Tnx ekerbuddyeker,

Did you had to set up some "go through my blackberry connection" on the TP2 ?

Read that somewhere. Did you change the APN of t-mobile or where you just able to connect to the internet after the BB registry was done ?

My problem: If this works, I want to install Danware Netop Mobile to control an application running on a Desktop connected to an IBM Mainframe. :)

Not sure if the BB Server will let me do that.

And finally, are you with ATT or t-Mobiel US using the TP2

Tnx again ekerbuddyeker,

but my story ends here. :mad:

I had t-mob support again, they checked with RIM (I was in the conf call) and RIM said BB client with tmob is only supported for the Samsung xxx, not for the tp2. End of story. They just refused to activate the BB plan for the TP2.

I'm just fed up. Told them to revert to my old plan (changed IMEI back to my BB) and will drop the TP2 at the shop tomorrow. 10$ and a week work lost.

Not sure how to go on.

Luckily my tmob contract is on a 30 day cancellation basis (after reverting back)

tnx for the help

I tell TMO that I have 2 phones, a Blackberry and the WMO phone, I switch sims between both phones and they've never given me a hard time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rsacipher:
@ekerbuddyeker Check to see if you have a system folder, you should get a message saying you are registered on the network.

@daguilar87 I can't imagine BB Connect will work on Sprint or Verizon, the reason is the phone is linked to your account by the IMIE number. With GSM you can put the SIM in any phone and trick it into thinking it's a Blackberry.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ekerbuddyeker:
I just told them to give me BB server. If they argue, INSIST!!! what do they care????
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ekerbuddyeker:
I DO.

actually for some reason I have TWO System Folders, and they both show up as envelopes on TOUCHFLO (which is annoying). Any idea how I can stop it doing do?

Also, I always have one non existent unread email in my BB folder. Know how I can reset this to 0?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bremair:
After the thing with the SetModelID.exe BB Connect runs on my german HTC Touch Pro 2 but I have a problem with my email account. Web.de runs without any problem but I don't get any gmx.de-emails. Accounts are correct installed and both the free-versions.

Any ideas what I have to change? In the past it works with both accounts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
Ekerbuddyeker,

Use this to delete/fix your email accounts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ivwonka:
Just got off the phone with Sprint customer service and IT (they were both very friendly and customer service called me back after I talked to IT, btw). But IT insists that there is no way for them to add the code to my phone, as it is not a bb. End of the road. A person could probably try to escelate the problem and see if it couldn't be fixed eventually. But I wasn't even sure if I wanted to pay the extra cheese for it. Besides Gmail can be used as push now! Just use an "out-of-office" message and a link to your gmail account! (or forward it all to gmail!)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ekerbuddyeker:
it deleted the extra system folder, thanks. it didnt reset the BB counter. I still have a phantome email...!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] HigginsB:
Ekerbuddyeker and others

just to let you know :)

After I told tmob that I return the TP2 and want to use my BB again, they gracefully switched the account back to my "old" plan (BIS&BES Addon).

BB started to work again after a few hours and connected to my companies BES and Lotus Notes. Just out of curiosity, I switched the SIM card back to the TP2. BANG, connected, PIN, IP address etc. I tapped to Enterprise Activation, emailaddr and pwd. BANG, keys exchanged, activated and my companies mails started flooding in to the TP2. I could go ballistic why I had such a hard time because they refused to give me the BB plan.

Anyway, here I am, playing around and trying all the features.

Thanks again all of you that helped !!!!!!!!

Maybe I still return it just out of revenge and switch to Sprint :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ekerbuddyeker:
Congratulations! I guess putting the SIM in a BB does something!

Q for anyone: if you hard reset, or put in nother ROM, do you need another key generated by your Company's system admin, or does it work straight away anyway? I really want to HR my TP2 and try out another ROM but dont want to have to ask for another password key to be generated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] merryg:
Yes, unfortunately that is the case. Your admin will have to supply you with a renewed password. I have already gone through this twice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
Sorry - I don't agree. I have flashed many roms on previous WM devices and never once had to contact the IT department to renew any passwords.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] merryg:
I have a different experience. It may depend on your IT security policy. I had to ask for a password after plain hardreset. The initial password is only valid for a certain period of time in our company (1 week I believe). Different companies will have different policies.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
I think you're right merryg. The BB Security Policy is the single biggest gripe I have with any WM phone by a long way. Thankfully for me, I don't have your problem with my IT Department, but they do enforce the security policy so it locks my phone after every soft reset and would lock it every 60 minutes if they had their way, but I have a programme to deal with that at least. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ekerbuddyeker:
Problem for me is that the PW seems to expire after one use, even though IT says it should last 2 days.

BTW someone should chage the title of this thread to BB Connect IS working on TP2!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lmk0:
Hi,

I made the registry edit, threw the SetModelId to the folder, and I can get .104 Blackberry to open up in settings...it allows me to select what to sync (calendar, notes, etc) and when I hit next, I get an error regarding no radio being available...

Anybody have any suggestions? It's the Telus CDMA+GSM Touch Pro2...it's SIM unlocked and running on another GSM carrier (Rogers).

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ekerbuddyeker:
YES, I toiled for a day on this one! You have something else using the radio. could be windows live or activesync. whatever it is, mnake them check mail every X minutes, not 'always on'. Or could be your stocks, or weather: stop all these things downloading automatically. Its a bit of a pain, but worth the convenience of having BBB on your WM device.

I regularly go to my comm manager and switch off Data, and within a short time BB starts using data and working again (or you can force it to work by manually disconnecting and connecting in the BB software itself). it also means when you check other mail your BB mail may stop.

give it a try and let us know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AirwolfUK:
I have contract data and Blackberry data connected at the same time, all the time.

I assume you have a blackberry service on your account?

Also, try changing the AKU in the registry to .1.6.3

I have been flashing a new ROM almost daily this week and get BBC up and running straight away.

Yes... the password reset for activation is a pain
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ekerbuddyeker:
Also, try changing the AKU in the registry to .1.6.3

CAN YOU ELABORATE ON THIS PLEASE
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AirwolfUK:
If you experience no PIN or the IP address shows for a few seconds and then drops, then you need to change the AKU registry entry.

HKLM\System\versions\AKU - change to .1.6.3

For reference - Here's what i do after a fresh ROM flash and it works every time:

I use CeRegEditor from my laptop, connected to my TP2 via ActiveSync

1. HKLM\System\versions\AKU - change to .1.6.3

2. HKLM\Init - add the new entry Launch130 with the string SetModelID.exe

3. On TP2 use Total commander to copy SetModelID.exe to the Windows folder

4. Restart TP2

5. Install Blackberry Connect .106

A few things to note:

1. After BBC installs and you select the PIM entries to sync, right before the restart - unplug your TP2 from your laptop/ PC

2. after the restart it can take a minute or two for the data connection to kick in. Double check by looking for Blackberry in your notifications screen.

3. make sure you have a solid Blackberry data connection and steady PIN/ IP address showing in the Blackberry client before attempting the Activation process.

4. if you do not get automatically connected then hit the "Register Now" button on the utility tab in the blackberry client

Hope it helps....

thanks for the reply...i did check a few things...turned off weather from auto update...i don't use stocks, all emails set to a 4 hr schedule, turned off data in comm manager and still no matter what, it gives me the radio error...

i've also tried changing the aku to .1.6.3 (from the default .1.6.5)...

by the way - activesync, how can i check if that's running? i had used it before but then removed the connections - so now when i click on it there's a bunch of options available to setup connections again (like when it's run for the first time)...i've also changed the usb to pc settings and disabled 'faster data synch' and set it to auto default to 'disk drive' when plugged into usb...

anything else?

will try uninstalling and reinstalling .104 bb again in the meantime...

HAVE YOU TRIED A HARD RESET? I think this kind of SW needs to be the first thing installed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:
Guys,

thought this was obvious, but it seems to be not. If you have hardSPL'd your device you can flash any ROM. By changing some info in your ROM you can make the ModelID Hack permanent, thus there's no need for the modelid.exe procedure anymore. You just need a hex editor and edit the ROM. You have to search and replace the string "HTC-Rhodium" with "HTC-Raphael".

Hi c0rnholio, I have read your thread, but have never done Hex editing before and am not very comfortable doing it really. I have followed gnick on the Topaz forum here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544950&highlight=blackberry. There he has changed the device type to HTC Rafael as the Topaz is not supported. Please can you help me to change my "hex" to something permanent? :)

I want to know is it possible to just have BBmessenger on my TP2 tmobile? is it possible and if so how?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] palmop:
None of the Blackberry Connect versions on a Windows Mobile devices supports sending PIN messages or BBM.

The only solution is to use Blackberry Application Suite, which has the full BB OS emulated, and it supports BBM and pin-to-pin messaging.

However, I havent seen any news about it lately, when it will see light of day is unknown.

I installaed BB Connect .106 and activated through the desktop software. I have a PIN but cannot establish a connection

My SIM card ist working in my TYTN II for years so my SIM and provider are BB enabled.

What can I change on the device to get the BB Connect working ?

Changing the ROM to get BBC working

Folks,

as I get mails every now and then on how to change the ModelID in ROM to get BBC wokring I wrote up a step-by-step HowTo. When following this it is no longer needed to use the SetModelID stuff and stop and start services and so on.

It worked for me on 6.1 and it works also on 6.5 ROMs.

Read more here: http://www.silentservices.de/HexEdit-ROM-for-BBC.html

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
cOrnholio,

Many thanks for your efforts. I have a Touch Diamond 2. This is otherwise known as a "Topaz". My problem is that for the rom I want to flash, "HTC-Topaz" has fewer letters than "HTC-Raphael". When I use your suggestion in the Hex editor, I can follow the instructions, but how do I replace with the extra words?

I have tried two times now.

(1) If I try search and then replace, the Hex editor tells me that this increases the rom size, but lets me do it anyway. When it comes to flashing this rom, I only get to 7% and then it stops... So that option doesn't work.

(2) If I try to just replace the dots for the extra two letters in "Raphael" than "Topaz" this doesn't cause a problem with the Hex editor and the rom manages to flash ok. However, when I check the Blackberry screen, it tells me that my phone is "HTC-Raphael_D'}?__" Needless to say, Blackberry doesn't work with this.

Please can you help me? :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:
mitsi,

you can't do it that way. Do what I have done. I searched for a device with the same number of letters and on which BBC is working.

In your case look at sedna, sable, maple, titan, etc.

Search the according forums for blackberry connect and look what version is running on what device. Remember to find out what AKU string the devices ROM has. Then try the settings on your device and hopefully you're done and BBC is working for you.

Good luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
Thanks for your reply. I have searched for these and have tried Dream and Titan, but these don't work. I did get my option 2 above to work (re-naming it HTC-Raphael) and this now shows up properly. I changed the AKU to .1.6.3, but I don't get a PIN. This is just pending.... I think I'll have to revert back to the ModelID thing again, which is a big pain in the neck after a soft reset.... :( Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: I am now trying Dopod with AKU .0.4.2. I am very excited at the prospect that it may work!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:
Well if you stick with the SetModelID stuff, I think I can make your live a bit easier with this:

It's writen for my german device so the paths wont match. I will make it comaptible for other languages.

BTW: AFAIK there is no device with the name HTC-Dopod, so I think you will fail with this one...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
Hi cOrnholio,

Well, you're right as ever. I tried 104 and 106 and neither provided a pin. This is quite frustrating as I feel I am so close.

Your solution to the SetModelID looks very interesting. I wonder - can you also do this with gNicks version please which is for the Topaz? I attach this if it helps. Thanks for your help. :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:
For the Topaz ONLY!!!

mitsi,

please try the attached file. This program requires that BBC is installed in the path \Program Files\BlackBerry\

In addition the EnableBBCTopaz.exe MUST be placed in the \Program Files\BlackBerry\ directory!!!

Warning to others: This is for the english version of the TOPAZ ONLY!!! It will not work on any other language or device!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:
For the Rhodium ONLY!!!

Attached you will find BBReloaded for Rhodium owners that have to stick to the SetModelID stuff.

Download the file according to your language (EN = WWE, DE = German)

cOrnholio, you are a complete genius!!! Many thanks for this - it works a treat. I will post a link on the Topaz forum for others and give you credit there.

I take my hat off to you. Can't you get a job at RIM? ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mitsi:
cOrnholio,

Can I assume that if you don't press item 7 - security, then you won't need to install the other programme you wrote to disable bb security?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:
Nice to hear that it worked for you!

Well, AFAIK you have to enable Security once to get the connection running properly. After the connection is established you can disable security again with the BBReloaded program. Or if you don't wont to run the BBReloaded GUI you can use the other program as a "fire-and-forget" option...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0rnholio:
If you feel bad with disabling the security totaly, but feel it's a pain in the a$$ to each time enter the password you can use BBUnlock.exe as described in this post:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ekerbuddyeker:
this looks GREAT! Anything that can help BB work properly on my device is wonderful. Er, what does this actually do?

Actually what I need is the ability to automatically periodically disconnect data then force BB connect to connect again (as whenever I use another data service it knocks out BB Connect). Can you add this in?

This is very smart - I will see if this is enough for our IT security folks and cannot wait to try. I am thinking to upgrade to Win6.5 and then would like to have the TFlo2.5 lock screen which shows as quickview calendar, clock, etc. rather than the dull BBerry white blank. Can that be done?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] adervishi:
please be aware that SetModelID will not return any error messages if mistyped, if unnecessary spaces are inserted, etc. I did this rookie mistake myself, and had to look 3-4 times before I saw the mistake. Check for this. it works very well with me. Thanks c0rnholio

Hi all,

Confirming this general method works for a stock US AT&T Tilt 2. Changing the AKU did the trick for me.

Small question - the "add email account" button in the BB "Utility" setting tab is greyed out. As I remember, on my old Tilt, I could add a Yahoo, Gmail, etc acct as well as corp email for push. Can't seem to do it now. It's a nice to have, not a must have since I got the corp. email to work.

Any thoughts?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] miscom:
Add email account under BB Utility

BB Connect won't enable that functionality in Winmo 6.1 and Winmo 6.5 because those versions already have built in support in Pocket Outlook for Yahoo, gmail, hotmail and others. You will see what I mean when you try to add a new email account from Pocket Outlook: It will recognize those services and pre-configure them for you. That's how I am using Yahoo. The down side is that you no longer get push email.

Doesn't have anything to do with that setting as it is already set on my phone and I have the same problem (It saves email attachemnts to the SD card when checked). New sms messages go directly to the sim and are not listed in the inbox.. and when viewed can not be moved to the sms inbox either. Also when I send an sms it goes straight to the outbox and stays there. After 24-48 hours the message might send or it will stay there forever :(
