Succesful bypass the BES activation

Hi guys. This is my first post in this forums. Anyway, I've managed to get through to pass the BES activation, but my problem is that I couldn't surf the Internet or even run any messenger at all. Here are the steps in what I did..

Btw, I'm running on a TYTN II, WM 6.1

1. Install BB Connect, Get PIN

2. Uninstall BB Connect

3. Install BAS

4. Run BAS, and then select Register

5. Then when it asked you to go for Activation Enterprise, just check in there and see if your PIN is there. If the PIN is there. Then leave it as it is.

Ok, the next step I took whereby it is the most important step :-

1. Download Blackberry Desktop Manager - (Google this as I can't post links)

2. Install on your PC..

3. When it asked you either to select (personal) BIS or (Work) BES. Select Work for the Blackberry Enterprise Server.

Ok. For the next Step I I've tried 2 methods.. One with BES account, another one without a BES account.

WITHOUT BES Account

1. Google "Remove IT Policy - BlackBerryFAQ" should show up on the first link

and do only the following method 2 STEP 2, STEP 4, STEP 5, & STEP 6 first.

2. When it asked you to select a profile, select outlook or whichever profile it comes out.

3. Then it will prompt you if you would like to use Redirection Application, and another one just set up personal Email. Click on NO whereby it will select personal email.

4. Once you've got that running, connect your phone with your PC. Make sure the BlackBerry App is running.

5. Once it syncs, you should be able to access the Blackbberry Applications already.

WITH BES Account

1. Because I didn't have a BES account, I went and applied from 123together.com to get an account. Once you've set up the Blackberry account hosting. Do the following..

If you have your own BES account you can skip the first step.

2. For windows XP, go to Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Mail --> Show Profiles --> Add

3. Type in A Profile Name and click OK

4. Fill up your name

5. Email address (the one you created from 123together.com or your own BES email add)

6. Password (the password you sign up with 123together.com or your own BES email password)

7. Just followed everything on from there. Occasionally it will pop up a login box basically just put the password in there as well. *This step will take a while, as it tends to connect to and fro the BES.

8. Once that's done, you should have a new profile your done in this part.

9. Connect your phone with the Blackberry Apps running.

10. Run Blackberry Desktop Manager, and when it asked you to select profile. Select the one you just created.

11. It will prompt you once again to login your account. Just sign in.

12. Basically just let it run here, and it will ask you to generate some keys by moving the mouse around.

12. Once you're in the desktop, it should prompt you saying that to sync over your BES server device to your handheld.

13. Once that's done, you should be able to see all the applications already.

Anyway, whatever you do just make sure you don't close the application or restart your phone. There's actually a minimize button for you if you would like to switch back to WM. If you were to restart that, you need to uninstall BAS, and redo everything from the top.

If you just close the Desktop Manager and resync the phone again, it sometimes will get you through the BES activation. But sometimes it won't. But when it does, the Host Routing Table will be empty and you won't be able to get any connections, no matter how many time you register. So here's something you might need to worry about.

Ok.. From here on onwards, is where I'm still trying to figure out what settings could have gone wrong to prevent me from browsing.

If I were to use the No BES account, then my service books are all empty inside. This could be the main reason maybe all the softwares I tried running didn't worked out as I thought it should. I have a BIS account connected and running, but can't seem to get anything out from it. Oh yeah, the BB Browser will not show here. I tried installing Opera, MSN & Eqo. It wouldn't connect at all.

If I run with the BES account from 123together.com, my service books showed results. BB Browser is available, BUT, I still was not able to surf or do anything much. As the problem it gave me was Unable to connect to the selected mobile data service, please try again later.

I suspect maybe 123together.com doesn't seem to have that function to get it working due to it's IT Policy. So maybe those who have a BES account, could try this method? Who knows it might work..

So I've done my part here to actually get pass the Activation Enterprise. If you can find a solution here, I would be most grateful for everyone. So don't give up yet, there might still be hope :D
