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

Will this work for Any BB Enterprise server, Please clarify i wanted to get rid of the BB at the earliest & use my dopdo only

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.

Need some help.
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:
Blackberry [ALP]
Blackberry [CMIME]
Both of the above services are active. The CMIME Service has some synchronization options available.
Under the IT Policy tab, I see:
One was created yesterday and the name is default
Options Tab:
Connection: Blackberry Solution. Under the details button, APN -- blackberry.net, Username = rim, Password =password, IP Address - 206.51.26.189, Remote Port - 19781, Local POrt = 19780
Pim Tab:
Option to Sync Calendar.
About Tab:
Blackberry Version : 2.1.1.20
Transport Version 2.1.0.44
ROM Version: 1.13
System Version: 227.214.54.234
Device Type: HTC-Universal

Heya folks,
I wasn't too sure what to even look for in a search for this one.
I'm moving to the US, I have an Orange M2000. I've been offered a work-cellphone account, but I have to pay for the cellphone myself.
As I already have the M2000, I'd like to use it on Cingular for "Goodlink" services.
Apart from unlocking the network-lock to take the Cingular sim, is there anything else I need to do to prepare the phone? I'd rather not tamper with Rom's etc unless I have to.
thanks again

Hello, i was in the same situation last year with my XDA IIs. Moved from London. I have been using it on T-Mob US with no problems at all with regards to call reception, gprs, or sending and receiving sms. Only thing you may want to do is upgrade your radio rom to 1.15, seems to enhance reception a bit. Cheers.
Head over to the SX66 Standardization Project website & grab an extended ROM. Extended ROMs contain operator customization files -- grab them from the extended ROM & install them on your BA.

Hi there, I live in California and bought an Orancge SPV M2000 off Ebay from the UK, have unlocked it and it works well with my T-mobile simcard. But since it came loaded with the original Orange ROMS...I have had no luck trying to configure the MMS/GPRS settings on it. Tried every configuration found here on this site as well as other google sites, and even called Tmobile customer care rep for a walk-through. They didn't tell me anything new from what I've already found here, however, no joy sending an MMS at all
I have considered upgrading my extROM from Xelencins Tmobile for WIZARD ROM just to get the Customization settings. But I'd rather not do that since I am no pro at upgrading and don't wanna screw up my device if I can help it.
Can you tell me how you configured your MMS?GPRS settings to seamlessly work ? Mine just says "sending" forever and then times out and never sends it in the end
Please, any tips will do, thanks in advance...

Hi,
i have an s620 from HTC itself,
so looking for WM6 , i directly called the manufacture dept. here back in belgium,
and asked info about it.
The friendly person told me there, that there is NO WM6 available on the moment,
and the update of TMOBILE is just a software fix for WM5...
He was going to mail me as soon they finished the software writing, and really release it.
So i could get the direct update from there website.
Now, does it means, that you guys all are using a different cell then me, or that you guys are using a beta WM6?
thanks for clearing out this
We actually have WM6. It is branded by T-Mobile though. You will receive HTC's branded version when they finish "writing it"
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcs620.html
thanks,
but i got mad of it, did not understand it completly,
And because tmobile buys with htc, so it is strange, why would tmobile have a fanished software before HTC:s
Anyway,
Is it safe to upgrade it with the Tmobile software?
would it be possible, to upgrade it afterwards to HTC software?
I have without any problems.

Hi how did you upgrade it? Did the installer go through by itself?
hi ,
i havent done it yet, but i downloaded an installer from the web (tmobile)
and it seems to be you install it like an other program with active sync,
so it will run it by his self,
But is possible to that if htc launches his software to update it to there, cause i dont like to have all those tmobile logos and things
Hi,
I bought an O2 orbit from Ebay which has the 02 official WM6 rom installed.
But it can't can't Make or receive calls.
But when I put my Virgin SIM, the Signal strength bar is in full, The network seems to be seletced as T-Mobile UK.
But can't dial out...no Dial tone
When I try to ring my Mobile, the voice message says 'Can't connect to this number at the moment'
Please HELP
I know this may not help MUCH but the fact that your mobile is saying T-Mobile instead of Virgin is normal - Virgin pay to use T-Mobile's infratructure as far as I know so it is normal to see it say T-Mobile.
Have you tried other SIM cards? Get a free O2 sim card and try calling it, or use a friends SIM, etc.
Also, have you tried flashing the Radio ROM? I don't know if it has changed over time or if there are any updates but try flashing a new one if you can find one.
Also, someone on this forum once managed to get ahold of the ROM O2 use to unbrick XDA ORBIT devices - the repair guy left his MicroSD card in the device and the ROM used to unbrick devices was on it - it had Windows Mobile 5 on it and was the original version. See if you can get ahold of that ROM and flash it. Or just try and flash the WM6 ROM from O2 again.

Woah that was weird half an hour after I posted the above post, an Earthquake of about 5.3 Magnititude happened lol
Hi I was wondering if someone could help me, I've been trying to unlock my HTC S620 Excallibur all night. It's locked to BT with its stock firmware. I came to the conclusion that I would have to buy a code. Then found I could flash a hacked rom. Which I've managed to do fine. The problem is it won't connect to any network. I've tried numerous WM 6.5 based roms but get same problem with every one. Tried messing with everything, changing connection settings an locals etc. Btw I'm from the U.K, trying to use an O2 Genie sim in it, never had problem with the phone. Had it's contract terminated early, is there any way they can block hardware when disconnecting services? Or does it still need unlock code even with a cooked rom? I've tried an orange, t-mobile and O2 sim in it. The new number for each sim shows in the call settings, and any sim related things like shipped phone numbers and settings. But in the call options the region, area, voice mail and message center numbers are blank. Could that be a problem? Shouldn't they configure themselves. Argh I'm so confused. I'de like to use my S620 as a phone instead of an expensive mp3 player.
Thanks in advance for any help.
