I have been seeing various posts on people struggling to make BBConnect work on HTC Touch Pro 2 a.k.a Rhodium and thought I would put down a step by step guide from various posts put down through this forum So rejoice all you HTC Touch Pro 2 owners like me BB Connect is finally working and so is Multiple APN's. I have BB Connect Enterprise and GPRS connecting simultaneously and its showing up on the notifications manager.
This step by step solution is thanks to Cornholio, Absahnen & NRGZ8(The Master Chef who cooks wonderful ROms across devices)
So Here Goes
Step I: GET YOURSELF A NEW ROM:
Trying to install Blackberry Connect is very buggy on most of the stock ROMS and will keep on failing. So go and get yourself the latest NRGZ8 ROM for Rhodium I am using Build 21877 27th Nov Standard Manila 2.1. The ROM is anyway faster with almost no bugs and free of Junk that you see on standard ROMS
download the ROM from this link:
http://hotfile.com/list/93322/b5a2687
Step2: CHANGE AKU SETTINGS
This change is needed to make BB Connect work on WinMo 6.5 ROMS.
Using a registry editor go to HKLM/System/Versions
There you will see the aku key usually on any WinMo 6.5 ROM its .5.xx.xx change the aku value to .1.6.0(.1.6.3 didnt work, the connection was getting dropped)
Step 3: FOOLING YOUR BB CONNECT SOFTWARE TO THINK YOUR DEVICE IS A RAPHAEL
The Rhodium is not yet supported by RIM and looks like they have withdrawn support for further devices. Therefore you need the BB connect to believe that your Touch Pro 2 is a Touch Pro i.e. Your Rhodium is a Raphael. To do this you have to make registry changes you can use any registry editor I used Resco Registry Editor which loads when you load Resco Explore on your device To do this follow the steps below very carefully, using the registry editor
Instructions:
------------
- Uninstall any BB Connect software if you loaded.
- Attached find a rar file which contains SetModelID.exe. Unzip it and copy it over to the \windows\ folder of your device.
- Using any registry editor of your choice navigate to HKLM\init Create a new String Value with the name "Launch130" and a value of "SetModelID.exe" (without the quotes)
If Launch130 already exists, choose a number greater than 130, it doesn't really matter, just make sure it is higher than the other entries so it get started after everything else.
This makes sure the exe isnt started after every softreset.
- Do a softreset
- The program changes your model-id from "HTC-Rhodium" to "HTC-Raphael" in memory
- Install Blackberry Connect like you usually do (My tests where successfull with version 4.0.0.106)
- After installation and the auto-reset through BBC open the BBC settings and go to the Info-Tab. Under device-name there should now be HTC-Raphael.
- If you're using BES configure your device using enterprise activation or the BB Connect desktop app
STEP 4: ENABLING MULTIPLE APN'S
This will allow you simultaneously have an active BBConnect and a GPRS connection active at the same time
Go to:
HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts
There you will find several numbers. E.g. 26202 for Vodafone in Germany.
The number is a combination of MCC / MNC so 262 02. You might find you operator in this list:
http://surfio.de/info/mcc_mnc/mcc_mnc_liste_6.html
or do a google search for your specific operators MCC/MNC nos
Create the two DWord Value Entries below if they arent there:
GPRSContextNumber = 3
UMTSContextNumber = 3
Just set the Contexts value to 3 and delete the NetworkContexts entry. It will be created from the source above with the value 3.
And voila you will have multiple connections running simultaneously you can get your BB Mails as well as see Youtube videos over GPRS. I managed to do this over a frustrating 48 hour period and I thought will share this for anyone seeking an answer.
Cheers and enjoy
Man! The guide looks great! but it makes my brain hurt!!! Arggg!!!
(Hardly understand some part of the guide.)
: )
Heres my step by step, plus all the software and a cab called black berry that someone else kindly put together for me that does all the registry steps (and makes the multiple APN switch for TMOB US). (BTW this has worked on EVERY ROM I have used, 6.1, 6.5, 6.53, sense 2.1 and 2.5):
['black berry cab' does all these]:
Copy SetModelID.exe into windows
HKLM\init: Create a new string: Launch130 with value: SetModelID.exe
HKLM\system\versions\aku - change to .1.6.3 [which works for me]
HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts\...
Create new ones or edit your relevant operators GPRS and UMTS to 3
[for US find them in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_codes_in_the_United_States]
HKLM\Comm\Cellular\RIL\
set the Contexts value to 3
Delete the NetworkContexts entry
Soft Reset
Install BB Settings CAB
(I always create a shortcut in programs from 'BB Settings' in Program Files/Blackberry - its a quick way to run this file later)
Either: Using BB connect desktop for WM 'configure wireless handset' (see below)
Or: get new key generated by your company's tech support and enter them into BB Settings on your device
(Activesync blackberry connect desktop setup can be found at http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bb_desktop_4.0.0.22.zip. I use this becuase YOU CAN GENERATE YOUR OWN KEY and configure your handset again and again which means you dont have to bug tech support every time you burn a new ROM, which I do every few days!)
for some reason I cant upload the blackberry connect cab, so here is the link http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb.4.0.0.106.cab
black berry cab is attached.

Well what can I say Mr What 150 was trying to help. The step by step guid is written keeping noobs in mind so that you dont get back Q's on How to do this? and How to do that? and help ppl besides just those in the US who cant use the cab posted here anyways and dont know how to write complicated XML codes.
Thanks a lot patcat!!!
I had my rhodium working with BB connect but no multiple APNs... had to manually suspend BB service and enable GPRS everytime I needed anything from the internet. Those days are gone now!!!
Now, have you ever wondered why is it that BB Messenger, being a Java application, can not be ported to WM and run on our TP2s? I mean, we have our BB data plans, a PIN# and are connected to the Blackberry service.. what else do we need for BB Messenger to work?

You are welcome Roberto. I havent yet come across any cab for BB messenger. There has been talk of a BB application suite to run on WinMo but I havent seen any beta's also of that floating around. If you do come across any BB Messenger cab do post it here or PM me the cab.
Most reliable method
Here is what I do...I think it is the most reliable method....and I have used it with just about every ROM out there and it works...everytime...It looks like a lot of steps but it is very easy and after the first ROM flash you will know what do do for any others...I actually learned this from this site and MUCH smarter people than me...so thanks to all those who helped get Blackberry Connect working. Without this site I might still have an 8525 because I need blackberry connect...!
Installing Blackberry connect...this has to happen in this order...
1. Download a ROM
2. Edit the ROM using the information from here, it looks complicated but takes less than a minute essentially you use the program you download to change any reference to Rhodium to Raphael using a search: http://www.silentservices.de/HexEdit-ROM-for-BBC.html
3. Flash the edited ROM.
4. Install the CAB file I attached it will change the AKU for you...I actually put it in my UC script so it automatically installs before Blackberry Connect...
5. Install Blackberry Connect version 4.0.0.106
Allowing Multiple APN's (This can happen at ANY time)
Follow step four in the original guide or if you are AT&T all you have to do is use a registry editor and go to HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\Operator Contexts\310410 and change UMTSContextNumber to 2. If you use 2 then you don't have to worry about anything else like deleting the Network Contexts entry....

Works excellently on my TP2 with .106 cab on Vodafone India network at Delhi.
Good work bro, well sorted out steps
PIN Pending

PIN Penidng No Connection
Hello,
I have done as per above steps but I am still getting Pin Pending. I am using HTC touch Pro 2 with Win Mo 6.5. In BlackBerry Connect About Device Type is HTC-Raphael.
Please help me what to do how can I resolve thie issue.
Address book, Sending pictures via Email not available
Hi,
I've got everything working thanks to you guys.
When composing a new Email, the address book is not being used (no Auto completion or suggestion).
I would take a picture from the camera but the option to send via Email is greyed out with the account setup via BB.
No HTML Email viewing.
Is it designed to work like that with BB Connect?

PIN is provided by GSM service provider. These step enable the BBC software to accept your handset model as compatible for BB services. Its not a hack for working BB without BB activation. Get the BB services activated from GSM operator and u shall have a PIN also.

I added what I know...it does seem since Blackberry connect is an older program everything ends up like a work around...
When composing a new Email, the address book is not being used (no Auto completion or suggestion).
It won't auto complete. If you click the menu and use the "check Names" feature it will first look in your address book and then if you hit Lookup it will look in the global address book. A little more cumbersome but it works.
I would take a picture from the camera but the option to send via Email is greyed out with the account setup via BB.
I have not been able to send photos from the camera in the last several Roms...so I think it is the newer Album that doesn't allow it. You can still send it by attaching it when creating an email, but yes this is a little cumbersome as well...
I only have one email account setup on my device which i
No HTML Email viewing.
Yes that is correct...

hi there, i have the same problem of not having a pin on my tp2, my carrier says the pin is on the device here is a copy and paste of my carrier web iste when i tried to activate the service
"To find your PIN perform one of the following actions:
* In the BlackBerry device options or settings, click Status.
* Look for the PIN and IMEI information on the outside of the box that your BlackBerry device or BlackBerry-enabled device came in.
* Turn the BlackBerry device off and remove the battery. Look for the sticker on the BlackBerry device with the PIN information where the battery is usually located."
Nice tutorial, patcat007. On my TP2 with a 6.5 ROM my BB Connect work. Anyway, when I change the AKU to .1.6.3, something happens with graphics in my dialer like in the picture attached. Anyone could help to correct this? Thank's!

Not available for WinMo 6.5 esp. an HD2 working addon.
I suggest you use Microsoft Exchange for the time being.
"esp. an HD2 working addon." ??
are you working on an add on ?
will a registry hack permit intallation and running of Balckberry connect 4
I tried contacting blackberry , but they requested we contact service provider
I belive there is some hot fix for some HTC devices by hacking the Registry
Will it work with HTC HD2
Please advice , I am desprate to make it work
Nope Im not working on one as RIM usually provides the solution and chefs take that one solution from a particular ROM and modded to make it compatible with other devices. It seem RIM hasn't created a WinMo 6.5 compatible BB Connect app.

Despair no more. I have it working (see my signature!)
This is what you do:
BEFORE INSTALLING Blackberry Connect you do the following:
* Use a registry editor and change the AKU to .1.6.3 (HLMK\System\Versions) --> Please note the leading dot before the number 1.
With AKU .1.6.3 you will get email but not the Blackberry browser, i.e. Internet Explorer using the Blackberry Internet connection, but believe me: You don't need that.
Resco Registry Editor (not free) is a good choice, but there are others.
* Create a new String registry entry under HLKM\Init called Launch130 and set its contents to SetModelID.exe (Case SeNsiTive!!!)
* Copy/Paste SetModelID.exe to the Windows folder in your Phone
* You can find SetModelID.exe here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520413&page=4
* SetModelID will trick BB Connect into thinking you have a different phone.
* Install BB Connect 4.0.0.106 (It will soft reset after the initial configuration/installation)
* You can get BB Connect 4.0.0.106 from http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?entry_id=338
* After reboot, you may see a window with an error message about security failed or something like that. If you get that, you won't be able to run Enterprise Activation. That means that the BB Security Service couldn't start. That's a timing issue found with Windows Mobile 6.5.X.
To make that service start you need Task Manager v3.1 from FdcSoft. Start Task Manager and go to Services and press on restart service (icon at the bottom). Task Manager will seem to lock up for a few seconds. Be patient. Once BB Security Service is running you can continue with Enterprise Activation.
* Run the Wireless Enterprise Activation process (No need for BB Desktop Manager)
* Remember that your BES Administrator must set your activation password in your BES Server and of course, you have to have the Blackberry Service from your wireless carrier.
Questions? Let me know how it goes.
Good Luck!!!
Hi Miscom
I own an HD 2 , I belive you own an HD
I tried all that you Said
a) Changed the AKu Value to .1.6.3 from the original .5.0.82
b) Created a Registry String : HLKM\Init called Launch130 set value to SetModelID.exe
c) Copied the file SetModelID.exe to the windows folder
d) Installed BB Connect 4.0.0.106
but I did not get Security failed as suggested by you
my HD2 booted and the BBC SHowed my IMEI but said pin Pending
I have the Task manager 3.1 as said by you but the BB Service doesnot show as stoped
The Task Manager Services Shows Black Berry Security (BBDO
A system folder was created in the Mails Folder ???
but no Black Berry Connect
When I click Black Berry It shows BlackBErry Lock Device
The Black Berry Security Settings
How can I confirm my Black BErry Connect Service is working
How can I configure my Accounts
Why does Black BErry icon lead e to a screen with a lock with the name black berry Lock
Will your efforts work on HTC HD2 LEo Running ROM VErsion 1.48.720.2

I think we are on the right track. Yes, I have an HD but that procedure works on Windows Mobile 6.5.X regardless of device.
You say that it says PIN pending, but did you get an IP Address? If so, BB Connect is working properly. For the PIN Pending issue read on:
Not getting the security failed message is a good thing. It means that BB Connect was able to initialize all of its services with no issues; and that's why Task Manager is showing it as started already!
That said, there will be times when it won't be able to do it after a soft reset and that's when Task Manager comes in handy.
As part of the installation a system folder (or new account) will be created.
Once BB Connect initializes it will talk to your Wireless Carrier to register itself in the network. If the registration is successful you will find a new email in the system mailbox saying something like your device has been registered to the network.
At this point there are a few things we can try:
1. Go to Settings --> System --> Blackberry
a. Once Blackberry loads, scroll to the right until you are in the Utility Tab
b. Tap on Register Now.
c. After a few seconds you should receive an email in the System Account saying that your device is registered in the network.
This is critical because that registration sends to your device the host routing table and the service books from RIM and your carrier so that your device is correctly provisioned to get Blackberry email.
If after registration you don't get the email in the system account or you don't get PIN it could mean one or more of the following issues:
1. Besides having a data plan with your wireless carrier, do you also have a Blackberry Plan for PDA? (Blackberry Plan for PDA is what AT&T calls it in the USA. If you don't have it, BB Connect won't work)
2. Has an account being provisioned in the BES Server in your organization?
If not you need to ask your BES Administrator to provision one for you.
If yes, you need to ask your BES Administrator to assign an activation password to your account.
After yout BES Administrator assigns the Activation Password to your BES Account, in your device you do the following:
Settings --> System --> Blackberry
Go to the activation tab
Enter your BES Server email account and activation password
Tap on Activate.
If all goes well, after a few minutes (be patient), the activation process will finish and you will start receiving emails in your BB Account.
Let me know how it goes.

v1zca1n0,
Please read my previous post.
Do you get an IP Address?
Settings --> System --> Blackberry (Status Tab).
Are you provisioned with your Wireless Carrier for Blackberry Connect?
Have you been provisioned in your BES Server?
v1zca1n0,
Something comes to mind and this may sound a bit strange but...
Sometimes Wireless Carriers won't activate your BB Connect service if your device's IMEI number is not in the list of devices that support BB Connect, in this case in a Leo.
The way to trick them into doing this is to insert your SIM Card into another device that is supported by the Carrier with BB Connect (ATT Fuze in my case). Install BB Connect and activate it. It should go through with no issues.
Once your SIM Card is registered as a valid card that can use BB Connect, put it back into your device, install BB Connect and you should be good to go.
I know that this sounds like a long shot, but I did it once a year ago to get my ATT Fuze with BB Connect because at that time the Fuze was not supported by AT&T with BB Connect but I had a Tilt and that one was supported.
And now I am using that same SIM Card with an HTC T8285 (Telstra Australia) in the AT&T Network with BB Connect.
Saludos,

kindly i would appriciate a feedback who had tried it on HTC-Jade (Touch 3G) & it worked for him.
was there any tricks to get it work?
i added the reg key "launch130" & added the "SetmodID.exe" in windows folder & running it manually. I installed the bbconnect, & after restrarting the device there was no error, & the application started smoothly. but as for the device name in BBC wasn't changed it's always HTC-Jade. when trying to connect the tunnel & IP address are shown, the PIN=pending....
any comments or suggestions!!!!!!
thank you
anyone????
A possible way to make BB Connect work
Hello all,
I know that the procedure explained in the attached Word document may seem like a long shot; but I think it's worth a try.
I don't own an HD2, but by following this procedure I was able to install and run the Blackberry Application Suite in my Blackstone.
You see, the HTC-BlackStone is not supported by the BAS and an tried many versions of SetModelID.exe and none of those worked, but by changing the Device Model ID in the ROM to HTC-Raphael before flashing I was able to trick BAS and make it install and run with no issues.
If someone wants to give it a try, please let me know whether or not it worked.
I am attaching two files: One is a screen shot of my Blackstone being identified by Blackberry Connect as an HTC-Raphael and the second one is a Word document explaining the procedure on how to change the Device Model ID.

i want to buy the HD2 and need BBConnect. What you have done looks the same as the setmodelid cab that has been floating around for a while. it worked for me on my TP2 but apparantly not on the HD2. I have attached it for reference (and a LEO one someone posted that I have no idea if it works). is what youare doing differnet?

Yes, it's different because this change is made to the ROM file before it's flashed into the phone.
I tried all versions of SetModelID.exe I could find and none worked for me when testing Blackberry Application Suite because BAS would always say that I had an unsupported device (a BlackStone).
I don't use BAS but I did all those tests because I suspect that both products, BAS and BB Connect, use the same detection scheme.
So, if someone with an HD2 is willing to test this we would know for sure if BB Connect will work or not.
Well the title says it all but I'll explain. I have a Verizon XV6900 (CDMA Vogue), I have flashed it to MetroPCS, so heres the Questions:
1. MetroPCS has 1X RTT (or something) and no 3g so I cant access the market place as it says it cant establish a stable (or reliable) connection. What should I do?
2. I did the settings for internet but can anyone give me the settings for mms please?
3. How can I transfer my Phonebook from Windows mobile 6.1 to Android? (I have a PIM Backup)
4. Can I switch to mobile view in the android browser? (internet way too slow for android view)
Well thats it for now, I am using Incubus26Jc's Super Froyo build, and like it too much
Thanks!

Unfortunately, there is no easy (proven) way to get market or MMS on Metro with a Vogue running Android. You can try any and all possible combinations for Android APN, but they will only give you internet on the browser. I found a thread in howard forums that describes how to set up Cricket MMS and Gapps on the Hero, and they should, in theory, be applicable for Metro, but they still need to be tested. Sorry...
I have a slightly special case here and I'll lay it out and then ask my questions.
1. I have MDJ 1.6 NAND on my phone currently (CM7)
2. I have a corporate WAN with Telstra in Australia which allows me to login via the APN telstra.corp (this gives me direct WAN access from my phone without the need for a VPN, the phone effectively becomes a PC on my LAN), the authentication for this APN is handed to my Windows 2003 Server which uses ActiveDirectory to control Radius Authentication.
3. When I install windows 6.5 or 6.5.X and run SD Android, I am able to log into this APN (PPP & RMNET both work)
4. When I use the APN on a NAND build, and monitor my windows server logs, it appears to authenticate perfectly and then disconnect after 2 seconds, and then repeat that over and over again every 30 or so seconds until I chose another APN.
Does anyone have any idea's as to where I should start trying to solve this?
I know my server does not hand out DNS settings, on other 3G devices I have had to set DNS manually, could android be jumping off because of a possible inability to resolve names and thus is re-trying the connection until it can - however it works fine with SD based Android... so I'm not sure if theres anything there, I read somewhere that android pretty much does whatever it likes with DNS - if so how to I find the logs on the phone, and how do I go about manually setting 3G DNS in CM7/Gingerbread?
Sorry to bump, but I cannot find any other threads covering this kind of question, I've had no luck with NAND Android builds still, I have tried all the radio's I could find but none of them made anything better...
I want to use NAND Android as daily use so badly

Hi rdashora, under settings, Cellular you need to edit and enter the APN for for your service provider. You may need to search online for the correct string.
Exchange worked fine on my end...i must say that this has to be the best exchange capable Os out there. My work emails render as faithfully as they do on my desktop
Thanks, it works

Why have you posted this question in this thread?
Unfortunately, unlike iOS and Android, WP7, like WinMo before it, still does not accept unsigned certificates.
With iOS and Android, you can choose to accept te unsigned cert after viewing a warning. Microsoft still don't allow this.
To get it working you have to setup an email account that works (gmail/hotmail) and email yourself the root certificate for the exchange domain. You can then install on the device from the email. After that, you can now attach to you Exchange server.
It's a bit of a hassle and one that there's really no reason not to support along with the appropriate warnings.
worked data connection
The answer was given,
Enter cellular menu. there, add "APN" option is available. Enter here your own countrymen, the GSM operator information...
I worked very well. but too bad the app to be paid.
I still say android2.3 much better operating system.
Hello:
i have another problem related to exchange the user name name of my account has two word as "name surname". When I tried to configurate my excahnge account I cannot introduce any space on the username field.
Does anybody know any trick to solve the problem?
Any registry key to change where user name is stored? As know the automatic system of WP7 detected my username as the first part of my e-mail address (ex. [email protected] the user name detected is name.surname instead of name surname)
Any trick to force the keyboard to write spaces?
If I do not find a solution I will have to come back to 6.5 as I need my HD2 for work.
thanks in advance for your help.

That is weird, you say ur username has a space in it? I didnt think that was possible??? I would contact ur IT dept on that one.
Yes, my user name has a space in it. but not just mine also all the rest of my organization. Everybody gets the user name as 'name surname'. I already contact IT department and they told me they will not change nothing for security policy.
I have had 5 windows mobile phone, 3 androids and several symbian and I never got any problem, it was always possible to wirte my user name with the space. :-(
Hi, I'm having the same problem now. I was running either BOYPPCs or HD2Os (i can't remember) NODO rom and I could sync with my companies exchange no problems. However I installed the mango beta yesterday and now I have a certificate error, I tried going back to XBMODs nodo rom and it didn't work either. I know all these roms come from the same base, but could there be different certificates floating around?
