sx66 and Blackberry... anybody have it working? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hi. I've got sx66 version of the Blue Angel on Cingular. It was sold to me as having an integrated Blackberry client (obviously not true). Has anybody got the Blackberry client from one of the other OEM version ROM images working?
If so, have there been any other side effects in applying the image?
Thanks in advance!

MDA III & Blackberry
I am looking into the TMobile MDA III which I believe is the other name for the SX66.
I want to do the same, basically have the MDA III and need the blackberry push service (which I understand will pick my corporate mail from my Exchange server in my office) and push to to my MDA III.
I've heard from Tmobile that they will be offering the push service soon. I hope this helps. I imagine the Push service will be provided by RIM and therefore available through all mobile operators.
David.

Yes it works with my MDA III
http://www.t-mobile.de allows download of the (German language!) ROM update which includes the Blackberry client.
My local T-Mobile Shop (here in Austria) told me that this software doesn't work in Austria. (I already have had a "real" Blackberry with service from T-Mobile austria) because the protocols are not compatible. I tried it nevertheless and it worked (yes, sure ... protocols ... and that's why the blackberry client for the MDA II is supported, but not for the MDA III. Right ;-))
After installing it, you can go to the instantemail web site for your old blackberry, log in, go to "profile", and select "change device". You then have to enter PIN and IMEI of the MDA III (which is displayed in the blackberry client) and messages will now be delivered to your new device.
There is one major issue: the device will turn on whenever a blackberry message is received. Even though the backlight is turned off after the specified interval, the device itself (including the screen) will remain turned on. This obviously drains the battery in just a few hours rendering the current version of this solution non-unsable in practice.
Maybe that's the reason why local T-Mobile still says that this software "does not work" ...
-Ingo

Cingular bundles a push service called XpressMail...
... that also keeps turning on and leaving on the device. It works (to a point), but it's no Blackberry...

BB Connect on Rogers

Anyone know if it's possible to get BB Connect working on the Rogers network in Canada? Have an XDA IIs and have BB Data set up on my Rogers account.
Got the BB Connect sw working, it generated a pin, etc., but couldn't get it to connect to the Desktop sw. I tried manually changing my pin in bwc as well but it wouldn't take the generated pin or the IMEI.
Talked to Rogers and they didn't seem to know much. They said something about RIM registering pins in thier database, but didn't have any definitive info.
Any ideas, or am I hooped until Rogers comes out with a Pocket PC device?

Weird, I was just looking at that today. Was going to install mymail on my xda IIs, but then decided just to use outlook pop3 polling instead. (heard that mymail is a serious power draw).
I'd love to hear if anyone has been able to get BB connect to work.
I am curious on how you got a PIN?
I have spoken with several Rogers reps and they definitely will not support it or help, although one of their techs told me that someone with a Nokia got the BB connect working. I will look through HOFO to see what I can dig up.
Once again, please explain how you got the PIN

The PIN is generated by the device, nased on some magic and the IMEI number. This is the unique identifier.
RIM can detect the software version and the operator being used to connect via - and they block any they consider to be 'unauthorised'. So it's not as simple as just copying the CAB file to your device and running it - the real issue is RIM being twits and not allowing anything to work unless your carrier pays the RIM tax (and then charges you of course!).
Occasionally some connections get through - but RIM are worse than the IRS - they WILL FIND YOU
:twisted:
I got the pin generate by just activating the BB Connect sw on my device.
I tried MyMail as well, but couldn't install the device software. This was really weird:
Installed the desktop sw, pointed it to my exchange server and it worked fine. It redirected all the emails to the mymail web client so I could see them there (similar to bwc). The problem was that I couldn't load the device software. It is only available via an OTA site. When I tried to get to the site from my browser, it always re-directed me to the regular MyMail home page. No one at Rogers, or Visto could send me the app itself, so I gave up.
groo - how does the outlook pop3 polling work?
I just entered my mailserver info in pocket outlook and set it to check for email every 5 mins.

TMO BB Connect for Wizard also works on Universal!

I successfully installed and configured the recently published BB Connect program onto my Universal. T-Mobil Germany officially came out with the BB Connect add-on a few days back, and it turns out it actually is dual-platform-aware, Wizard and Universal.
It can be downloaded at ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/HTC_Wizard/BB Connect/mdavario_sw_bb_03-2006.zip
There is one *but* though. Until now, I only got it to work on TMO-UKs 1.20 MDA PRO ROM, but my suspicion is that it actually has something to do with the radio version. BB Connect works flawlessly on radio versions 1.06 and below (I saw similar behaviour on the Blue Angel devices where radio versions beyond 1.13 could not made to work with BB Connect).
Anyway, although initially I could not get it to work with the Jasjar 1.20 rom, I must say I did use the 1.09 radio. I will be re-installing the Jasjar rom later today, this time with radio version 1.06 and report back on the results.
(While I was writing this, I heard my "T-Mobilized O2 XDA Exec" happily signalling the arrival of new mail )
BB Connect working on MDA Pro
I can confirm that the BB Connect Client from the Wizard is working on my Universal.
It seems also correct that you have to have the t-mobile ROM installed. I tried it with the latest I-Mate ROM but it failed to connect after the initial setup. I then installed the lastest t-mobile ROM and now BB Connect is working like a charm...
Great stuff!!!
Cheers
version no
Wiz,
Kindly advise what version is your latest t-mobile rom.
Thanks & Regards
The combination that works is TMO UK 1.20 (or lower) and radio 1.06 (or lower)
Other versions (Qtek, Imate) work as well, as long as they are AKU1 and *not* AKU2
I can confirm that it DOESNT work on O2 Rom with radio 1.06, with VF Account and DE TMOB BB.. I will try to do the tmob rom update in the next couple of days...
will the tmob rom and bb client work ok with a VF account??

We have a BB Enterprise subscription and a BES at our central location. Our provider is VF Germany. I dont know if you can use BB with VF-Push but I _asume_ that it will work.
took the leap this morning as it appears the rom has other useful things in like an updated BT stack for BT Caller ID Etc..
Bottom line is it all dropped in ok, have BB coming down from our BES, bizarre thing is though the from address is shown as an exchange address and not email, and I cant reply as yet.. maybe something on our BES server needs tweaking..
Anyone know how to remove the Tmob links on the Home Screen? I've changed the theme back to Windows Default for the time being but would like to remove some of the Today ICONS that TMob stick on there..

Not working on T-Mobile MDA Pro German
Hi tried this, but I cannot get it to connect to the BB server. The software lists IMEI and BB PIN. It seems to connect for one or two seconds (for that time, I see an IP address in the status window), but after that, it disconnects and stays that way.
I phoned T-Mobile MMS (Multimedia Services) yesterday and asked them about it. To my surprise, they did not try to shake me off because I was using a Vario software with my Universal, but honestly tried to reproduce my problem - and succeeded in that.
They told me that the BB client for T-Mobile MDA Pro German should be released "early in April", gave me a EUR 10 Bonus on my bill and told me to watch their homepage for the software update. I'm quite satisfied with that

Works for me!!
It works for me... Radio Ver 1.09 o2 XDA exec... using it while roaming in Europe with T-Mobile USA Blackberry Intl Plan.. connects to both Instant Email and Enterprise. ... no probs... although it sucks compared to MS Direct Push... you need to switch APN's manually so that you can use PIE... also, it just feels like bloatware compared to the native push solution....i uninstalled it and continued using MS Direct Push...

Could you, please, confirm which versions of ROM, RADIO and ExtROM you use ? The only combination i was able to runn BBCOnnect was T-Mobile ancient ROM 1.20.120. Others never worked.
Would someone please be kind enough to post the ftp link to the exact T-mobile rom that works with the BB connect software?
Never mind I got it all running but I get no messages, I can send them but I have not recieved any.......
I had to call T-Mobile, they reset my location data in their system and now my BB is working!
Next I am going to try to install the O2 ROM, I did a backup using Sprite Software 5.1 and will do a ROM upgrade from T-Mobile to O2 and see if the BB works with that....
I posted this over in the wizard forum and was wondering if this was actually the better place.

Running a Univeral with the base TMO Rom 1.13.53 WWE and radio 1.03.01. I am running on the Cingular network.
I have installed the BB Connect software. It connected the moment the BES admin added me to the BES network, since then it has not really worked properly.
In looking at the Initial window for BB connect titled "Instant Email - ", I see Lookup, Settings, Register Now, Suspend and Hide enabled. Email Setup is disabled.
Under the Settings button I see:
Identity - my pin, my IMEI and sometimes an IP address.
Under the Status tab I see
Service: Not Connected, Data Tunnel Available, Network Available at different times, but typically Not Connected. I also believe that I see an IP address when I the state is on Network Available on the Identity tab, but since I can't see both tabs at the same time, I am not 100% certain.
I also have the option to suspend, restart, and uninstall on this screen. And a couple of Suspend Options.
Under the Service List, I see:

Both of the above services are active. The CMIME Service has some synchronization options available.

A noob question from someone who's not been around since Blue Angel days!

Hey folks,
As subject I've not been around much since my Blue Angel was relegated to the glove-box for sat nav duties only. Since then I've had a few 'phone' phones, and I've also had a Vario II for a while. I've not really frequented here much because, well, it worked pretty well for what I use it for (mobile net surfing and being used as modem for my laptop). Anyway, my boss got a TyTN 2 and I had my first real look at WM6 - and I ended up here again!
Anyway, I've just flashed my Vario II with the HTC WM6 ROM from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320829 - so far so good... It's 'working' - Phone is functional - It seems stable - I took it to bits and fixed the broken power-button too!
...I do have one pretty big issue though - I only ever use this phone for Internet Explorer Mobile / Opera and then as a modem for my laptop...
At the moment it's not connecting to the net... I've tried to copy the settings from a friend's Vario II but no joy (unless there is a password for the user 't-mobile'?) When I first put my SIM back in I got an SMS from T-Mobile saying 'reply to this message and we'll send you mms settings' etc. - when I replied I get the 'use the PIN 1234 on the settings' message but then no message with settings arrives. I tried to send the same things from T-Mobile's website and still no joy. I have done a couple of searches on the board but unless I've spectacularly missed it I can't see anything.
...Does anyone at all know how I can get my phone to connect to 3G/GPRS again? (It'd be nice to see HSDPA too but I'll not push my luck!)?
Here ya go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311446
In case you are using a T-Mobile Prepay card: that won't work!
Hey,
Thanks for your reply. Will those cabs be OK to use on a UK Vario II?
Thanks again and regards,
Rob.

Should this model S620 have Wi Fi?

I have done the obvious steps of googling and searching the forums so please excuse me if I have missed the answer to this question but here goes....
I bought a T-Mobile branded HTC S620 on ebay, the advert says it has WiFi but the device never showed this ability at all. I followed instructions here to update to the Kavana 6.1 Rom but still no Wi Fi. I was wondering if anyone can tell me should this actually have Wi Fi capability?
The technical details are:
CPU: TI OMAP850
Speed: 201 MHz
RAM: 64 MB
FLASH: 128 MB
Model Name: HTC-S620
Radio Version: 4.1.13.51_03.07.90
Can`t find a way to display further information, if I run the freeware program WifiIO it says "sorry no WLAN hardware found" and I`m thinking it doesn`t have the hardware built in
There is a code underneath the battery that reads EXCA210 if this helps?
Thanks
Dave
Of course it does. Did you check on CommManager? If you flashed the phone to 6.1 then I assume you also followed the steps to allow SMS, MMS and Internet to work? If you haven't, look into that. If you have... then it sounds weird. I am sure I read something similar to your problem around recently.
I just got a Dash from T-Mobile and I do have wifi, so yes you should definately have it also.
That`s what I thought, using a registry editor I can see that under HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\WLAN it has two values
one says DEFAULT and in brackets (value not set) and the other is the device name. I have been reading in one post that maybe the T Mobile models don`t have wlan hard ware. I looked at the exact wording on the ebay advert and it says "put wi fi and Bluetooth 2.0 as a extra item" whatever that means
It does not show in the comm manager though
I have just found that in the folder WINDOWS is a file called RemoveWiFi so I would assume there must be a way to make it enabled again?
Busted wifi yet another ebay Dump, Busted wifi S620.
I think there may be a way to re enable it and hopefully someone who knows more than me about the subject can help.
I`m guessing the key is to do with the removewifi file. I opened it in notepad and it contains a load of text including bits saying to enable just 6 items (whereas with wifi enabled there should be seven I think on the manager screen).
Of course it could just be that thats the default setting for the Kavana 6.1 rom however it appears from hours of googling that the 210 (my model) is the Dash from T Mobile and not the hard ware disabled T Mobile mail so I`m hoping
So maybe if someone can tell me how to edit the removewifi file (is it safe to do so?) I may be able to enable the feature

if you loaded kavana's rom the wifi manager should be at the bottem where it says settings under photo and you just scroll left or right and it should say wireless manager : wifi off click the silver button and it will open your comm manager then you can turn it on...if it isn't on there maybe you messed up when you loaded the rom, re-download the rom then re-boot the rom back onto your phone..
Thanks, I know the comms manager but it shows only bluetooth and the phone options, followed the instructions for rom properly and image appears to be fine as everything else works.
Its supposed to be the T-Mobile Dash according to the sellers advert, he refuses to answer my queries, but if it ish that should have had wi fi and when I got it there was no wi fi on the t mobile rom eithr so maybe I just got ripped off by a smeghead on ebay
Still nice phone though
I don't want to look like a cretin, but I have seen on ebay knock off exact copies of phones such as the Nokia N96 and they all lacked wifi. Maybe you got a knock off HTC Dash hence why no wifi? Just a thought.
I'm not aware of any T-Mob Dash that was sold without WiFi.
Here's an idea: Reflash the phone with T-Mob's latest ROM and see if the WiFi gets installed and can be enabled. If it is/can, then you know something fubar'd when you flashed the non-OEM ROM.

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that the MDA Mail variant of the Excalibur sold by T-Mobile in Germany & UK did not have onboard Wi-Fi
Not sure if cross-flashing ROM can enable it - or if the hardware is not in there.
yyour wifiinit.lnk mustve gotten deleted, thats exactly what happens if i remove mine from windows/startup folder. im guessing that if u either reflash it, hard reset or idk if someone uploaded it for you tt download that the issue will be fix
The original T Mobile rom didn`t allow wifi either, it had Windows Mobile 5 on then. I will have to see how to create a wifiinit.lnk file and where to place it.
Hi!
I own both a unbranded HTC S620 and the German MDA mail. Im a alert by the fact that u stated that the model name under the battery as EXCA210. Because that is exactly what I have in my German wifi-disabled MDA mail. The wifi-enabled HTC S620 on the other hand reads EXCA200.
However, it is very easy in fact to determine if your Excalibur (whatever the model) is one of those "handicapped" MDA mails.
How does the case look? Is it all black? Not like the new US Dash but a metallic, black paint on the front cover? Plus, a MDA mail only has the "Designed for Windows Mobile" logo on the back and nothing else!
Usually, all the ROMs automatically detect whether WiFi is available or not. If the WiFi option is shaded grey and not applicable in the CommManager then I'm very sorry but to tell u that either the WiFi Module is broken or you've got one of the MDA mails. I can approve of that since I am easily able to check this for both of my phones.
Googling for EXCA210 and finding that it is a T-Mobile Dash doesnt change the fact...that is usually some confusion about that. Even on the Excalibur-Wiki and the smartphone-db, they list the MDA mail as wifi-enabled which it is, obviously not.
EDIT: Oh, and btw. There is no way of enabling the WiFi on a MDA Mail. It simply lacks the WiFi-onboard module!
I have to admit the seller who won`t reply to me at all says its a T Mobile Dash with optional Wi Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 in his advert on ebay, however it seems to me to be an MDA instead.
Its a UK one, jet black as you describe complete with ten silver numeric keys and I`m thinking the seller just is a rip off merchant!
Alright mate, then u got a MDA mail..sorry to hear that. It's not a bad phone though..its a q nice contrast to all the other silver ones...but yet, very disappointing withouth WiFi. To be honest, I reckon the seller didnt even know what he was selling, and just copied the data from the normal HTC S620. Very little people know about this crucial difference between the two..however, he should have been one of those..
Have you got a link to the bespoken product on ebay?
HTC MDA Mail
Is this your phone? http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/03/12/t-mobile_ships_mda_mail/ I got to say that I really like the looks of it, even though it doesn't have wifi, is a nice phone. Is there anything else different from the dash? regarding apps and features.
Yes thats the one roloracer.
Yes the looks are really cool i admit, but its bears the typical HTC problem as other re-branded/re-modelled phones for T-Mobile : the colour wears off very rapidly. I had that problem with my Amadeus (SDA music for T-Mo GER) that the white paint came off really easily. For the MDA Mail u basically end up with the normal HTC S620 cover underneath with still little bits of the original colour scattered on the front cover...makes it look very roughed up..not nice
Apart from that, everything is the same. I cant really remember about the Apps because I unlocked and upgraded the ROM very quickly.. But another advantage is that those MDA mails were manufactured in the HTC plant in Taiwan...so its said that those usually show a better component quality.

So unless you absolutely need the wifi , then you're not missing anything by having an mda mail instead of a dash/excalibur.

WORKING Blackberry Connect configurations

Hello All,
I believe there are many like me who would love to get the Blackberry Connect Software working on their HDs. At the moment, it seems like black magic how to get it working and the other thread doesn't really contain much useful information on working configurations.
So far, we know the following:
1. It is Radio, ROM and SIM card dependent.
2. You need to have the BB service provisioned on your SIM and have the new style SIMs that support full data functions.
3. Latest version of BB Connect required for TouchHD (4.0.0.106). This is available from HTC Asia on on the internet (just search these boards)
What i'd like to use this thread for is for people to post WORKING configurations with as many details as possible regarding the setup/installation procedure. I'll start with the only configuration I've managed to get working so far.
ROM: Dutty's 1.9b extreme
Radio: 1.12.25.16
SIM: Blackberry service from MTN
Installation/Procedure:
- Flash ROM
- Install BB Connect software
- Provision SIM card
- Connection was activated after a few hours.
Other information:
- The BB connect service defaults to IE as the browser.
- BB Push email service worked but with lag. SEVEN was much better in this regard.
- I was unable to get messenger, stock tabs, weather update, google maps, etc to use the BB connection
- BB push email service creates its own mail folders on your device regardless of what you already have.
- BB email folders do not have full flip to scroll to next message functionality in TF3D.
- BB email did not display pictures, etc
Please lets have other users chime in here and perhaps we can get a Wiki section created for BB Connect on the HD. Lets please keep to the same format as above to keep the information easily referenced and trackable.
Thanks
Thanks for the info, I have been able to run the service with all ROM's expect for the ones built on 6.5 OS's..
Connection was instant in each installation (right after a reset I am connected - then I'd push my service book -- done)
I do not have any lags in mail arrival.
Its satisfactory for me- but as you said you have to stop the BB service prior to any attempt to use the data connection for other purposes (IE, weather...etc)
Only thing I miss is the blackberry messenger.
Thanks for the thread.
Taiseer
Thanks for responding Taiseer.
Could you tell me what mobile operator and country you're using? Secondly, what do you mean by push your service books? Is than an automatic process or manually performed by you? In the installation that worked for me, I didn't do anything of the sort.
After installing did you have your BB sim in the phone or did you insert it later?

and normally what I do after the 1st installation and device reset, all of my mail arrives to a new mail account named system..(and I won't be able to send or reply to mail from it), so to be able to get the rest of my accounts and have a better use out of the service, I log on to the Operator's blackberry's site and manually demand a service book sending.. in few seconds mail arrive into auto formed mail accounts..
As far as the SIM card its always in the HD..
It looks like SEVEN may be better for me then, how does battery compare between the two.
Thanks for the information Taiseer. My provider does not offer the internet log on option so I guess I will need to get them to push the service books to me somehow. When I install the software with the sim in it, i get nothing after a soft reset. No pin and no ip address. Did you find that MS Live or any other microsoft service was able to use the BB connection or is it just the browser?

Seven has a good service and I've had no complaints. The BB data plan is the cheapest where I live though. So if you can get unlimited (or cheap) data packages, stick with SEVEN. I didn't notice any differences with battery life.

No - you got to stop data connection, but because I am used to my WIFI conection and hotspots everywhere I normally do not discounnect the BB connection, DO you??
Whilst my service worked I was too scared to disconnect the BB connection so I just didn't use any of the other services. It sucked. I've just flashed Davideuck's newest V 2 ROM so we'll see if i can get it working.
Okay, great news people. I've got my service working on Davideuck's Version 2 rom. It required a call to my network provider. For all those installing on a HD, its down to your provider regardless of what they say.
Taiseer, thanks for the heads up about the blackberry page for my subscriber. I managed to track mine down and set up my email accounts from there.
Woohah!
I am using a stock ROM 1.14.405.3(22273) WWE, Radio 1.09.25.15
I hate to have to use a cooked ROM, I've used Dutty's ROM's on my Kaiser and they worked well but this phone works so well I don't want to mess things up.
I believe the stock ROM should work as well. Be sure to hassle your service provider to set it up on their end. I think some providers are not pleased to offer the BB service for non BB phones and do not fully enable the service (they can tell that its not a BB phone from the PIN number). After a talk with my provider, I was told to reset my phone and presto! all was working.
It works on on my Kaiser so I know it works on my T-Mobile plan. I may mess with the radio's to see what I can do.
Sorry to keep adding to this thread but I have some new developments. I upgraded the ROM to 1.19.831.0 and Radio 1.09.25.14
I have version 106 and ran the desktop software, it switched the PIN from the Kaiser to the HD. I changed the version reset the device and now I have the service books and an IP address.
When I look at the status I get network available>data tunnel available then not connected.
Update, since it wasn't working I tried to reinstall BB Connect on the HD, when I tried to configure I got the PIN 0 error. As a last resort I put the SIM in the Kaiser and configured it, then switch to the HD, configured it and it worked!
I'm not sure but it looks like changing the PIN was all I needed to do.
blackberry working great on orange uk htc touch HD standard phone
I downloaded the blacberry install files form a link on this forum, I belive it was the same blackbery files from HTC.
Rom Version 1.19.61.1 wwe
Radio 1.09.25.14
Installed the BB app to phone - then went to start settings > system >" click" icon blackberry.
Blackerry connect (identity) tab shows 3 bits of info
PIN said something like waiting for PIN
IMEI 78*******************
IP Address No connection
Spoke to orange asked for blackberry service. they said 5 permonth £ 250MB of blackberry
Orange sent me text message with a pin number and told me of the orange blackberry site to go to I think it is blackberry.orange.co.uk
On the blackberry.orange.co.uk I enterd the PIN number from the text message and IMEI number.
My phone recived a text a turned it of and turned it back on.
Checked the Blackerry connect (identity) tab
PIN was now populated with the pin that was in the text message
IMIE still there
IP Address says connected.
Went back to the blackberry.co.uk setup my email accounts with blackberry the pressed service book. looked at my phone 20 mins later and my there email accounts were there 2 for work and 1 for home.
I dont do much surfing on the phone but opera works and and the blackberry is fantastic.
orange were very helpfull on this.
But saying that blackberry is really a network service Windows Live I belive does a similar thing you get push email.
I'm glad to see people are getting it sorted. There are certainly many other options for connectivity and push email. Some even work better than the BB service. The reason i'm on the BB service is that its the cheapest way to browse regularly and get push email in my part of the world. When a page can cost as much as 30 pence via gprs versus 20 pounds a month for unlimited data on the BB plan, its a no brainer. Yes, I'm painfully aware we're being gouged but theres no getting away from that.
I have a problem with blackberry connect...
Everything installed just fine, receiving message OK, BUT...I can't send mail because option new mail, reply on mail also, is disabled
Very strange, because I used earlier bb connect on diamond and everything worked...
Any solutions?

Its probably because you are only having the "system mail account" you should try to send your service books to your winmo via provider
Thank you very much - I'm tottaly forgot the way how to do that, working now!
Problems with BB connect on HTC HD
Hi guys,
after setting up successfully BBconnect on my HD, I noticed that when I send emails from my BES account on my laptop, I always find them in my Inbox (not in Sent Items as I would expect) of my HD reporting me as Sender and no body message in it. Instead, should I send emails from my handled device, I always find them in Sent Items of my device as expected....Has anyone of you faced the same issue?
Thanks...
