Blackberry and XDA IIs - Could be Mar-Apr 05

Spoke to 02 Blackberry Support this morning regarding a few issues with the XDA IIs.
Due to current list of bugs (ie, bluetooth etc) Blackberry is quite low on the list to be including in a Rom update. He felt that it would be Mar-Apr 05 before such a update is released!
It seems that even they are directing people to www.smartner.com to try there solution out rather than have to wait!
I think Smartner could be onto a winner here!!!!!

Pylon Anywhere is a better and cheaper product than Smartner's.
You can download an eval from www.ianywhere.com/products/pylon_anywhere.html

Cheers for the update!
I mailed O2 data support last night so it'll be interesting to see what they tell me.
What I really find peculiar is although they are directing people to smartner, and the smartner website lists O2 as a partner, why aren't O2 listing Smartner as a service offering?
I'm going to check out the other product offered here, but between xmail and smartner, I've pretty much got my "push" (really pull) mail solutions sorted out for a few months.

With Smartner's product, it is simply software for your PPC, which is configured via an web based interface at their end. Priced at $50 per year is pretty reasonable for push email.
How much does Pylon Anywhere cost ? Have looked at their website, but it's not exactly clear. Also I get the impression that users also need to install a 'server' type client - is this correct ?
Cheers

I'm downloading it now and it is a server based installation, so if its for your work you would have to get your IS department to test and certify the software before deployment. Looking at the site its restricted to Exchange/Domino environments only so those of you with Pop3 or Imap access are out of the picture.
LIke I say, i've got a test exchange environment at home so I'll configure onto that and see how it performs, but I doubt its for the end-user.

Hmmmm, I think at $645.00 for the Pylon software, I'll stick with Smartner for time being!!!!! WOW - I have picked myself back up off the floor now!!!! :shock:

Remember, thats not counting the price of the software to run the mailserver as well as the time taken to learn how to configure it.

Pylon Anywhere is a server and client solution, not a hosted service like you mention ($50 per person). You need your own server, just like Blackberry Enterprise.
For the price, you get five users (buy in bundles of five users). This includes the server software and client software for Pocket PC, Smartphone, Palm, Symbian and even desktop XP and more.
The client software installs on your device USING THE DEVICES APPS, not some custom solution, allowing you to use any application available for the Pocket PC (PI/AF for example). It is TRUE push; I can push calendar, mail, contacts, tasks and memos if I choose to (only do calendar and mail). You can then also setup what's called ReadySync sessions that occur at scheduled itervals that sync everything (you select) that you don't want pushed (in our case contacts, memos and tasks).
You can also manually sync your device. It also supports SMS Push for those who like having this service (SMS triggers your device to sync - sound familiar).
Fully encrypted, from end-to-end. Users can install the solution themselves via a web interface system, it also provides access to all their e-mail etc (like OWA) if wanted (can be disabled). User can also install via a CAB file and full install program as well.
You can say what e-mails to push and what not to, like HIGH PRIORITY only etc. You can sync your GAL or portions (filtered) of it.
What else do you want to know?

As i understand it you can use the blackberry client from the extended rom of the XDA II. You could either add it to your extended rom , or simply run it as a cab file.

Where can I get the cab?
z0mbi....where can I download the cab file for Blackberry Connect?
Thanks

Same questions here.....where can we get the cab file????
And do we have proof this works???

Blackberry CAB file
I have BB Connect working on an XDA II succsessfully, Although we now have an XDAIIs i want to get it going on. So can someone please post the CAB file or tell me how i can extract it from the XDAII ext rom pleeease
Shannon

Desparately seeking the Blackberry CAB
Somebody please help us all!

I have it going on my XDA2 and have extracted the cab and tried it on my PDA2K I-mate .
It installs ok but wont work
I have also got it from the MDA III german version this also installs and runs but RIM detects it as a illegal pin. There must be some sort of checking that it is in the correct rom version.
If i knew german i would be right
Looks like we just have to wait for a english rom with it installed .
Pole99

The CAB
Apologies for the no reply, I forgot to check back on this thread...
I haven't tested this personaly as I don't own a 2s but it works on my SE'd II
Anyhow please find the attached cab

Thanks... do you have the Desktop configuration tool sw?
Thanks so much for sending this along... Still trying to get it working.... looks like it also requires some desktop-based software.
Would you mind posting?
Thanks in advance!!!

BLACKBERRY XDA IIS
Hey Guys,
Thanks for the Cab file really apprecicate it ... next question, I have got it installed alright however when it is running, active sync does not work . So has anyone actually got it to work on the XDA IIS?
Maybe i need a newer rom for the XDAIIS although i think there is only the launch going round ?
Shannon

I installed it but it screwed up my blue angel - it had the memory errors (i.e. no more memory available to run programs), so I tried to uninstall it but could not - hard reset after that

It installed on my Verizon Harrier, but it doesn't register... It's possible that I need to have a Blackberry account, so I'm going to call them tomorrow to see.

You might not need a blackberry account from your provider to make this work, you probably just need an account on any BES

Problems unlocking a Tmobile Dash/HTC S620

So I have a Tmobile Dash/HTC S620 and as this is a work project to compare PDAs for our org, I planned to unlock it so that I could try various services with it and do a good comparison for my boss.
I went out to http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/tmobile-dash-unlock-p-1313.html and bought the $40 dollar unlock code, downloaded Dashv2Unlock.exe, followed their instructions and now I get a bloody error saying: "A monitor program prevents this application from execution. Stop the monitor program and try again"
I'm pretty well pissed off with it at this point, given that I just wasted half a day on this process and haven't fixed it. A quick run down on what I did to troubleshoot it:
1. kill symantec corp auto-protect
2. check permissions
3. run Process Monitor on it (see sysinternals.com) and came up with nothing.
4. killed every living bloody process I could get away leaving active sync working with using Process Explorer (again see sysinternals.com).
5. uninstalled & reinstalled activesync.
6. tried it on a different computer.
7. tried it on yet another computer that's not related to work.
and more, and more.
I'd like to note that after looking at the program, and looking at the signatures, gsmliberty.net didn't even write the program . It's orginally from http://www.imei-check.co.uk/dashunlock.php which I also downloaded and tried (hoping for a different version that would fix it).
My question is this:
has anyone else run into this problem? What's the deal here?
Thanks,
Rich
I posted the CSV from ProcMon and the orginal screeshot that shows the error as well as how far I trimmed the processes at one point.

So it turns out...
I went back and forth with gsmliberty and finally gave up with them.
http://www.imei-check.co.uk on the other hand was extremely helpful and after playing email tag we finally figured out that Active sync 4.5 is the problem. Use Activesync 4.2 not 4.5 and you'll be fine.
Rich

that's weird because I did my s620 last night with activesync 4.5 with gsmliberty. Also if people are trying to put the tmobile dash wm6 firmware on the oem htc s620 you have to follow the instructions in the official wm6 released thread. DONT USE the unlocker program that came with the gsm liberty file. You need to use the unlock program from IMEICHECK. Nothing bad will happen, it's just when you hexedit everything, it's being hex edited for the dashv2unlock.exe from IMEICHECK, not GSMLiberty. You UNL file will work with either or.
WM6 running here np.

I am running WM6 and purchased the unlock program and code from IMEICHECK about a month ago. Worked fine with WM5. Now I get the same errors as you. Are you saying that I need to purchase the same thing from GSM Locker? I still have my unlock code. Can't I just download the unlock program from somewhere?

Got bbconnect working!

Thanks a lot for this GREAT forum! Finally got blackberry connect working on my artemis! Downloaded v 4.0.0.92 from this forum last week, thought I'd give it a go. It's been a month since I tried all other versions 4.0.0.84 to 4.0.0.91. They ALL made me sick, had to restore a few times. I was amazed that it worked this time, and still works! I have my work mail coming in from BES, and also configured 3 other mail accounts (gmail, isp and my domain), works like a charm.

of course, thanks Meschle for the fantastic touch 3.01 rom!

cubist, what radio are you using?

how did you manage to get the BES to work? Is there any trick or magic?

Radio 3.07.90, which comes with touch 3.01, no alterations made to registry, like some suggested in other posts for older versions of bbconnect.
Once you manage to get connected, setup personal mail through secure blackberry browsing. Create a login here too for web access, so you can resend service books when needed! Once that is all ok, you should get autoconnected to blackberry over edge. My plan is paid by my company, and we have a bes server with lotus notes. I called our dept to reactivate (they have to activate account with password on server, it works only for 48 hours) Then reactivated with password.

Cubist,
thanks a lot, mine is working as well. Just did as you proposed.

glad I could help you!

by chance, do you know what happens to re-activation after having flashed a new ROM? Do you need to go through the re-activation process again?

you can resend service books from the web. If you have the same radio and bbconnect can install on the rom, you should get connected. For the BES part, I'm not sure. I think the key used to register with the BEserver contains a device id, I'm not sure if that changes when installing another rom. I will know shortly: when touch with wm6.1 comes out, I'll test it.

Hi and wonder if you can help!
I am with O2 in the Uk - XDA Orbit WM6
Got BSoftware 4.0.0.92 and got 1 of my emails working okay, but when adding a 2nd one got the following error message:
Service Book Management
Device Message Store Limit.
You must delete a message store to use service.
example: [email protected]
Do you happen to know the way around this?
Many thanks....Carlos

Some providers only allow a certain amount of mailboxes to be added. Your BES account is the first, probably you can't add more than 1 account.

cubist, did you finally upgrade to "Artemis Touch 4.01 WM6.1 WWE ROM, 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0) (Full, Lite and Vanilla)" and does you BB account still work? I am keen to upgrade, but cannot afford to loose the BB functionality.

Good alternative to Memmaid for WM6 standard

Long-time lurker, first-time poster.
I picked up a S620 a few months ago, and finally upgraded it to the official WM6 ROM linked in the sticky (1.33.422.1) a few weeks ago. (I couldn't do it until I found the USPL.bat file - thanks to the author!)
I've installed Blackberry Connect 4, and it's working fine, except for the fact that my corporate BES IT Policy insists on locking the device after five minutes of inactivity. "Annoying" is an understatement.
I found some directions on how to bypass it at the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336355
but that method uses Memmaid. I downloaded it, but it won't work on WM6 standard. I tried Task Manager from Fdcsoft, but that won't do it, and the interface doesn't really work on WM6. I also grabbed SK tools, but that won't seem to let me stop the service. What can I use that will let me do this? I'd prefer free, but I'm willing to pay for something that works well.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried using celetask? You can view running apps and processes including hidden ones and kill them.

Thanks for the pointer - it's a good program, but it doesn't quite do what I need. It stops tasks and processes, but it looks like what I need to do is stop a statup service. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Navigate to your registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init
Your answer might be in there.
Remember to back up your reg.
Any mishaps is on you like anything else in this site.

Thanks - that's helpful, and I see how to disable them, but I've figured out that what I really need to be able to do is to stop a service, and also set it from manual to Automatic. The service needs to start when the main Blackberry Connect service starts, but then it needs to be shut down after each reset.
So how can i stop it after it's already running?

Blackberry Connect

Will Blackberry Connect work on the Touch Pro2?
I have installed version 106 and no luck as yet with t-mobile., stiil pending.
I just put the blackberry service on the phone and they said give it another day to activate the service.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

i have been stuck on this issue for a week... no luck...
wrote to htc and they came back saying that look for updates on its site... now that's a really long shot..
would suggest that you too write to them... lets put some pressure..
this is a business phone according to them... then bberry is as much important!

I havent bought this phone yet, but I would only be able to if bbconnect is working.
Could you try to change the device ID to TouchPRO in settings/system/about and change the registry HLM\System\Versions\Aku to .1.6.0
But you need to change it BEFORE you install BBConnect
Please indicate if this makes any difference, otherwise we'll need to wait for a new bbconnect version

When i had installed the software without the above settings, i had a PIN and IP address - but it would not connect.
Later on i had hard reset the phone...
now i re-installed the software with the settings u mentioned, but i do not have a PIN or IP Address and bbconnect will not register either...
could u please tell me how to un-install it safely too? as i do not want to do another hard-reset now!
(btw, i had done a hard reset on the phone earlier coz after i tried 106 and uninstalled it, i installed a previous version 100 and it hung my phone.... )

Thanks..I just unstalled and tried your settings still no connection or PIN.

am sure htc engineers visit these pages too....
hope u guys understand.. that u r touting the tp2 as a business phone.. and we need blackberry too in a business phone to complete the package....
we cannot connect to exchange alone (that incurs data charges and is not roaming friendly - especially international).. we need bberry coz that keeps us mobile from country to country that we visit...
common guys... its just a few lines of code u hv to modify... am sure...

Hi,
Have you tried this?
See WM65 solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502623
I think you have to play with the version number of your WM...
In case of WM61
I used this:
HKLM\System\Versions\AKU key, change whatever in there (like .0.0.3) to .0.4.2
Br,
Zsocee

I'm an Aussie wanting to purchase a Rhodium...
I'm upgrading from a 7100G blackberry handset. (yup a massive upgrade). Although the most critical part of my phone... (apart from making phone calls) is my blackberry push e-mail...
I can't afford to change over phones until I know that the Blackberry Connect 4.0 works. I know that HTC have a special version of the Blackberry Connect for the Diamond, the Touch Pro ect...
http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=497&news_id=61
With Windows 6.5 rumoured to be released within the next month I'm speculating that we won't see Blackberry Connect 4.0 working on the windows mobile 6.1

Me too!! Not working.
Had T-mobile and Rim on the phone together with no luck.

Well I contacted HTC to find out when it would work and this was the reply I received:
Since Windows Mobile is our platform for the HTC handsets, we would push customers to use the Microsoft exchange server.
The device comes with microsoft exchange server support and also supports IMAP and POP3 accounts.
HTC is not going to release any Blackberry connect applications and it would not up to HTC to do this. If Blackberry wants to develop an application and release it to HTC, you may need to check with RIM/BB.
RIM (is the company name)
Blackberry is the platform
Hope this information helps.
Sounds like the person I was contacted by either has no idea or there's no plan for blackberry connect to work on the touch pro 2.... Oh well looks like I'll have to purchase a storm...

Just be patient...
I'm more than sure that we will get BBC to work the same way we did it before. By manipulating the Device-ID string in the ROM (from HTC-Rhodium to whatever) BBC should recognize the device as "allowed" and it _should_ work. So all we have to do is to wait for the HardSPL-guys getting it done so that we can flash custom ROMs. Once this is done, I assume we will have BBC up and running.

Blackberry Connect.
Blackberry Connect does not work on the device, however, it seems to work on the HD.

make sure your AKU is set to .1.6.3. I have bbc .106 working fine on my touch pro2 with this and the SetModelID solution
Report Reply
I am planning on upgrading from Fuze to Fortress (TP2) and want to see if this works. You need to make sure your account is provisioned for BBConnect service.

Didn't work for me even after switching system ID to identify as Raphael, on T-Mobile US.

It works fine on the Rhodium. Check out the thread entitled "blackberry connect, not yet working" It got working about halway through. I use BBC on mine but I needed to make a couple of tweaks as outlined in that thread.

Dominoid - Rhodium - Blackberry connect
very interested in your asnwer dominoid.....can you send us more specifics as to how / what / where. We are dying to get Rhodium work with BBErry Connect. Which version worked with yours?

Does anyone know the orignal AKU for the ATT Tilt2?

I hate cross posting in threads, but somehow people decided to open different threads on the same topic. (Maybe a mod can merge them into one if he reads this).
Read more for a final solution without using SetModelID and starting and stoping services each time:
