BB Connect 4.0.0.106 working great Windows Mobile 6.5

Hello,

This post is rather long but I want to provide as much detail as possible with my success in running Blackberry Connect 4.0.0.106 in Windows Mobile 6.5. So bear with me…

First thanks to c0rnholio for developing this solution. In this post I am just merely reporting back my experience based on the information and programs provided by him.

I am in the AT&T network and already paying for BB Connect on top of my wireless unlimited plan for PDA.

I have an account setup in my BES server (we are using Exchange 2003).

a.	I used to have an AT&T Fuze with Blackberry Connect (working with no issues with NATF 4.7 – Windows Mobile 6.1. Never tried 6.5)​

I bought a new Unlocked (Telstra) HTC HD Black120 (Blackstone) from eBay Australia.

a.	I know that in this thread the conversation has been around the TP2, but the procedures described in this thread worked great for my HTC HD, and I imagine that this procedure should work for other device types.

b.	I get 3G speeds here in the Nashville, TN area. I also tested it in Knoxville, TN with 3G speeds.​

I flashed it with Duttys HD WM6.5 Leo R6 which you can find here http://htcpedia.com/duttys_hd_leo_r_9b853eda83bfda130/soft/htc-blackstone-rom.html?page=1

a.	To flash the device I used USPL 2.5 which you can find here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_USPL

b.	Please note that USPL as far as I know only works for the HTC HD Blackstone. For your device you can use HardSPL which by the way it worked great in my Fuze.

c.	After first boot, I hard reset the device

d.	CE OS 5.2.23016 (Build 23016.1.6.3)

e.	Radio 1.14.25.24

f.	Protocol Version 52.64.25.34AU

g.	Manila Version 2.5.19201130.0

h.	As a side note, AT&T used to correctly identify my Fuze in their website. Now it doesn’t show any type of device.​

I used a registry editor and changed the AKU to .1.6.3 (HLMK\System\Version) --> Please note the leading dot before the number 1.

I tried first all the steps I describe here but this one and BB Connect Security Service would always die; that’s why I am including it in these steps before SetModelID.exe​

Created a new String registry entry under HLKM\Init called Launch13 and set its contents to SetModelID.exe

I didn’t use Launch130 because after a reset Blackberry Security service would die and I wouldn’t get a PIN or any type of BB connection.

Why 13? Honestly, I did that to try to make the program run as early as possible on boot way before any BB Connect Services.​

Copy/Paste SetModelID.exe to the windows folder in my Phone

You can find SetModelID.exe here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=520413&page=4

Installed BB Connect 4.0.0.106 (It will softreset after the initial configuration/installation)

On reboot, from the utility tab - registered on the network (PIN and stable IP address straight away)

Run the Wireless Enterprise Activation process (No need for BB Desktop Manager)

I have done a soft reset 6 times now without issues. Today I received more than 250 emails in my HTC HD and I also replied to many of them. The calendar works great too.

I hope this helps.
