im trying to get blackberry connect to work on a cingular 8525 which currently has the stock 1.34.502.1. I installed blackberry connect (which i found on this forum), however, it keeps saying service:stopped and PIN: Pending. I have seen these errors in a few searches on this forum, so im thinking its the rom? ive found the rom RUU_HER_CINGULAR_2.06.502.3_1.34.00.10_SPL1.04, will that work with blackberry connect? Or could it be a problem with the plan? The plan on this device has the $30 blackberry service. The phone before the 8525 being used on this account was a blackberry which worked perfect with push email.
ps, ide like to appologize, i know there is lots of information on this topic and normally i would search and find all my own answers, however, i am home from school and my friend got an 8525 and desperatly needs to get blackberry connect working, however, i have to go home tonight. thats why im posting for a quick answer, since there is so much to search through and read.
Thanks in advance
Think I'm getting a dash, wing, or another mda?
My mda randomly powers off and freezes on occasion when sliding the keyboard out. in some cases it just randomly crashes, and occurs on multiple roms. So I called, and they were happy to ship me a new handset.
The lady didn't say, however, which I'd be getting. I did ask if they still had mda's, and she answered yes (tho she noted retail stores no longer carried them), however I didn't get a chance to ask her if there was a way to get a wing(although probably unscrupulous).
Anyways, when I get the new mda, I might just put it in the retail box with all the accessories from the old one and just sell it on ebay and buy a wing. After spending an hour with one, they just seem to be a better built machine.
What's a wing? Who makes it?
sometimes..
oh i tried that.. tmobile wont replace an mda with a wing.. they're just going to send u another mda.. so did u get ur mda??
hey is it just me or do the head sets for the MDA suck?? cause ive been thru 3 of them already..
Is it possible to get Blackberry connect to work? I used it on my Tilt and this is the only thing I miss with this Treo Pro...I cannot use Exchange as our company uses Blackberry, BES....I have tried all the downloads from SEMS.org and tried changing the AKU to .0.4.2 or .0.1.2 like I did with my tilt and nothing has worked, I still cannot get a pin. I also tried changing the device name to the same as the tilt but still no joy...
How does the Blackberry Server know that I am not using a TILT? and is there a way to trick it into thinking I am so I can get a PIN and get up and running.
Anyone?

it would be great if we get it worked on our treos.
I don't understand why it works on some phones and not others, if you have a computer with Windows as long as the specs can support them you should be able to run the same software on different computers no mater the manufactuer.
Has any one tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368181
I tried...doesn't work with any BBC downloads on sems.org...it just awaits the PIN...
I also tried changing the AKU like I did on my Kaiser...still no joy....
Hopefully someone smarter than me will get this worked out...I have since bought a FUZE because it supports BBConnect but I like the Pro so much more...
$50 Bounty!
I'll put up $50 bucks if someone can get BB Connect working on my Pro.
My company just found me out and shut down my ActiveSync...so now it is get a company provided BB Bold or get BB Connect to work. I'd much rather the second option!!

I have the same problem...which why I am using a fuze now...but I have not sold my Treo Pro and would go back in a heartbeat! You may want to try Emoze as an alternative but it is a little buggy and nowhere near as good as BB connect.
Bump
Bumping, should I raise the bounty?
Tried CompanionLink software for your BB & other syncing?

======================================================
Well. I had a Treo 680 (Palm OS) and could e-mail one way (from the phone). Now with the Palm Treo Pro (WM 6.1), I have set it up for two way e-mail and calendaring. Stick with me...there MAY be a solution for the BB to work here. (My company does not have Microsoft Exchange either.) Anyway, if you set up a Gmail account, you can then (use their directions) get some e-mail coordinated/synced between your company e-mail (if you have access to your company e-mail through the Internet) and Gmail. Now here's the weird part. You can go to CompanionLink.com and try out their software for 15 days. If you like it, pay. Here is the link:
http://www.companionlink.com/products/companionlink.html
More specifically to BB, here is a link:
http://www.companionlink.com/products/companionlinkforgoogle.html
As you can see, the CompanionLink software is almost $30, but it works (after some tweeking) with my Groupwise company e-mail and calendar.
Did I win? If I did, deduct the $30 for the software, and I'll call it even!

Help!
I've got an unlocked G1 bought off eBay in early December. Up until today it's been working without any problems. However at 11am today it dropped off the O2 network and I can't get voice / text. I still have data access though.
Here's what I've tried:
1. My SIM in another phone - fine
2. Other SIMs in my G1 - no network registration except for a TMobile SIM.
3. Soft reset of G1
4. Hard reset of G1.
5. Wipe and reflash using update.zip method off microSD card to UK RC8 - no difference.
I'm desperate here - got multiple important calls pending over the next few days..
If I use "Search Networks" and manually select O2, I get the message "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network".
"Registering automatically" also fails (but silently).
How can I get my G1 up and running ??
Try getting a new sim card from O2?
Currently using my SIM in another phone without issue (on the same cell tower too).

Nope - it literally dropped off the network after being in use with no problems after a month.
Can connect to o2 data channels, just no voice / text. Connects to voice with T-Mobile SIM only.
I've redone the settings 1/2 a dozen times as part of the whole wipe / re-flash circle of life thing...
Given up now - will test with PAYG TMobile and sell on eBay for parts / working. Can't be dealing with it for now but will return to Android when it's a little maturer and my contract's due.
I'm having the exact same problem. Anyone ever find a solution? I phoned T-Mobile and they told me to type in something involving the PUK code, but I didn't think it'd do anything.
I typed it in, and it's just stuck now. Saying unblocked, now unlocking.
Anyone help?

I've got a pay as you go T Mobile SIM in mine now. Registers with nework ok but won't make / receive phone calls / messages..
Going through the mill with T Mobile support in the hope they've seen this before..
Hey,
I'm from Germany and wanted to complete an O2 contract and use it with my G1.
But before I make the contract I used an O2-prepaid card (O2 loop). Im connected to the next O2 cell and calling works great. (running ADP1 JF 1.31 fw)
The cell-tower are not the same as t-mobile and vodafone and the active O2-cell is changing very often.
I hope O2 contract will work, because it's the cheapest kind of data plan.

Sadly no :-(
i had the same problem with my touch hd,also brought from ebay as it was unlocked.used it and worked well for 3 weeks then wouldnt make calls but would connect to the internet.after weeks of trying i found out from my network provider that the phone is blocked ie reported stolen.so the person who sold it me had done an insurance scam.he diidnt get away with it though as i reported him to ebay and the police.and i got a new 1 from my insurance.so im happy now.you should ask your network to check the imei against thier database to see if your phone has been reported as stolen

Looks like you were spot on mate.
Just done a CheckMend report indicating that the IMEI has been blocked on "one or more UK networks".
I've pulled my auction (of course) as I'm an honest seller.
Will have to do some digging as to why - tense email to original seller tonight I think, then maybe the police etc in the morning.

Blocked by T-Mobile at someone else's request.
Paypal - no resolution as > 45 days (nicely timed by seller it seems)
Time for the police *sigh*
Wow! Turns out my phone was blacklisted too! Thanks SOO much! I never would have thought to check to see if it had been reported stolen.
Need to chase up eBay seller now though. Fun.
Well - after hammering away at this for nearly 3 days...
I have a crime reference number!
Which means that PayPal / eBay / T Mobile will need to investigate.
Friendly advice to any others in this situation - I was told initially by the desk officer at my local police station that this was "a civil matter". Thankfully I ignored that and spoke to the local headquarters - they've confirmed that it's a criminal matter and they will be investigating further. So stick to your guns ;-)
Fingers crossed, and good luck to anyone else out there in the same situation.
Apologies for the bump
I apologize for bumping the thread after all this time, but i've had this happen to my G1 just today. After months of flawless use my unlocked G1 suddenly decided to not like any SIMs but a T-Mobile one. Annoyingly IMEI checks show that it's not blacklisted, using both CheckMEND and calling O2 direct and asking them if they have a blacklist flag on it, which they didn't.
I'm wondering if CodeMonkey, or anyone else, managed to get anywhere with a claim or a reason or solution to any of it?
Also, i'm curious as to whether or not we have the same Ebay seller, just to ease paranoia of a scam of some kind going on.
Cheers

This is still with the police *sigh*. Currently chasing down the T-mobile account holder who blocked it originally and the seller. Given up much hope of getting my money back but hoping to take the £350 I'm down by out of the guilty party's hide through the criminal justice system. As far as I can determine, this is either insurance fraud (account holder sells phone for cash, reports as lost and claims off TMobile insurance) or theft & selling stolen goods.. I personally think it's an attempt at insurance fraud by some dimwit as the phone came in it's original packaging with accessories still sealed.
I won't post the seller's name on a public forum in case they're an innocent party, however PM me the details of yours and I'll respond. If it is the same seller I'll update the police appropriately so they can widen the investigation and get in touch with you (if you want to go down that path)..
**EDIT**
Update - compared sellers and they're not the same: watch out if buying on eBay peeps.
I am glad that I found this threat, to learn I am not crazy. Bought a German G1 via ebay, and the first day (wih original FW) everything was fine. At least i think so as I didn't use it much. Then I upgraded manually to latest German RC9 version. While the phone showed to be connected to o2 and internet was working fine, I noticed only one day later that I was not able to make outbound calls or send SMS. Also other o2 customer got error tone (no real message why not reachable) when calling me, SMS didn't arrive. However the most weird thing was that it was possible to call my mobile phone from my fix/land line! Again, for other mobile phones I was not reachable, but land line worked?!
While beeing frustraded I did HW reset and the FW update again, but still same problem. Still in the evening of the same day I left my house, sitting on the airport - and suddenly it worked smoothly. Since that, for a week now, everything works fine.
No, I don't undertand this at all. And I think this was in my case also no issue of being blacklisted as it works now, without doing anything. Letäs hope it does not have a fall back.
G1 Swindle
Hey guys
It looks like I have also been swindled by some chump on ebay and my G1 has been blocked. Has anyone any idea if the phone can be wiped and rebooted in a fashion that clears it from any blocking register?
Otherwise I'm stuck with a very expensive paper weight!!
I've purchased unlock for this phone and I should have checked if it was connecting to the server before ordering the unlock. When I try to unlock it through the default unlock app it's giving me this error. Has anyone gotten this error before? Any fix to it?

Your best bet would be to contact the customer service of where u ordered the unlock code from. They would be better equipped to help resolve your issues with it than anyone here. I dont use the unlocking service companies, many of them are shady and not legitimate so its wise to make sure you choose one that has a good track record of doing business.
I tried contacting them, but I didn't realise that their policy states no refunds if I get this error as I was suppose to check before ordering. It's a legit company and I've bought unlock codes many times from them. Anyway, it seems for some reason the phone isn't able to connect to the servers. I tried a hard reset and everything pretty much.
There really isnt much you can do then, if you missed a step or didnt verify something before ordering it unfortunately your just SOL. If there policy is such that no refunds are given then you just gotta eat your mistake. Hey dont feel to bad, we have all messed up at one time or another doing something with our phones. I guess you just live an learn from it.
You can keep trying to connect to the server though. Maybe its just down. Other than that my only other idea is if you actually have the keys to unlock your phone try looking on google for a manual way to get to the unlocking menu. There are hidden service menus for our phones but they are not always available, it varies from model to model
