Hello Guys,
Maybe someone can help me.
I got a MDA Vario II on T-Mobile that was delivered this morning (had hundreds yesterday she said, incase anyone is looking). On the Applications CD in the box is the Blackberry Connect software. I installed the software onto the Vario. I already have a blackberry account and went into my account (on my computer) and changed the PIN associated with my account. On the handset in the Instant Email option it says connected but it isn't recieveing any emails. I have clicked on the register button in the instant email option screen, I have sent myself a new service book but it still isn't working. I have even done a hard reset and started again but to no avail.
In the messenger section it has a instant email mailbox but there is nothing in it and the 3 logo at the top says Blackberry (GPRS, 3G) but still nothing.
Does anyone know what is wrong?
Thanks.
Well I figured it out.
I basically set up a whole new Blackberry account and that seemed to solve it. But a new problem is that it only lets you have 4 accounts which is less than before and the pages are completly different than before.
Hi hourami
Good to know you got it working. I got real excited about this, but seem to be having problmes to get it to work. Device and PC are connected fine. I have a PIN created and everything.
I called T-Mobile and they wanted £35 a month to activate Blackberry on my account! This seems very strange to me, as I have Web n Walk.
I have 2 questions for you -
1. What price plan are you on, and how did you get Blackberry activated for your SIM?
2. you say that
"I basically set up a whole new Blackberry account and that seemed to solve it."
How did you do that?
Hope you can help
Cheers
Eric

Hi Eric,
1) I pay £10 per month for Blackberry, it is a fixed price and is shown as such on their website and by calling customer services.
2) At http://www.instantemail.t-mobile.co.uk/ you set up an account and put in the pin and imei number and then set up your email accounts, all self explanitory when you go through the screens. You won't get ANY emails though until Blackberry is activated on your account.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on. Cheers
hi all -
Dropped my 8525 and broke the LCD screen, had insurance replace it (thanks Safeware!) and I got it back they didn't have to hard reset. Running WM6 , and have the CIngular medianet MMS cab - has always worked fine.
Get the phone back, text and phone calls works same as used to - however i can't get MMS or email and ie won't load any pages - it trys to, but after the first failed timeout it goes to a quick error box saying "page cannot be loaded"
tried un and re installing the MMS cab, no avail. weirdest thing is, wifi works fine also. anyone know enough about the build to know if the data unit is seperate from wifi? not sure what could be the problem -
worth a hard reset and reformat or just send it back to the insurance carriers shop?
ps, had a tilt in the meantime whilie it was being fixed, adn they gave me a new SIM card for that (att) and i took it out and put it back into the 8525.
anyone have any suggestions?? thanks guys

If you have a new sim card.....you might not have data enabled on it. but first check if the settings for data are there otherwise call AT&T about it.
Anyone that has any success on installing BB on X1? I tried version 103 and 104 but the result is the same i.e it installs doing the rebooting but it can’t register it on my network so no PIN and there for I cant do enterprise activation. Any suggestions, please. BTW Spoke to SE today and there is an upgrade coming before December (what a surplice )
i also tried everthing, still no chance (pin pending).
anyone succeeded?
Me too, I tried the version used for my previous HTC Touch Pro but it was unable to get registered and no pin generated.
I also need this software badly.
couldn't get it working on my phone. it would connect to the blackberry apn for one second but then disconnect.
to all hackers out there. please make blackberry connect working on X1. THANK YOU!!!
Really kind of sad as there are no BB Connect for X1 after so long and I need it to check my emails on the go.
any good news until now?
Hello Guys!
Yesterday I had the bb service (o2 Germany) activate at my contract. In the most post I read, that the main problem of pending PIN is. After I goten the activation sms I install "BB Connect 4.106". And what I see was very.....what can I say......exciting. I get a PIN!! But now, I have the problem that i cant login in on the blackberry site from o2.
I hope that anyone can use this information to bring full bb service to xperia!!!!!!
with best reguards

I am about to purchase a Mytouch but according to what I have heard, you can't go pass the welcome screen without a data plan. Is that correct ? If it isn't, can anyone tell me how to activate it via Wifi using ADB like the process for G1 ?
Thanks a lot
I had the same problem when i first got my phone because i bought it on craigslist (no contract). If you know anyone that has Tmobile with a data plan u can use their sim card to activate your phone. As long as you get past signing in with google you should be good. Please Root your phone in future to avoid having this problem again.

Thanks for the reply, I thought nobody would answer this ! I knew this, but what I am asking is: How to activate it via adb or something that can be done on G1.
Thanks in advance

Have you tried following the steps outlined here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452316
What I gathered from that tutorial is that the 'unlocking' is simply a record added to a database in the phone, which you can get around if you root the phone and manually add it yourself. Haven't tried this though.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your replies ! The methods u guys offered are pretty much how to root a magic, means that I must have my phone activated first,lol
Thanks again
First, I do not know how to active the G2 with a SIM, or via Wifi rather than via APN. (I'm trying to do the same thing myself at this time, and still seeking the solution).
BUT... I have found a baby step. I see that when you turn on the phone, it comes up to a starter screen which shows you the green Android, and the two selections, Emergency Dial, and, Change Language. I find that if I click on the "MENU" button, it pops up a tab at the bottom of the screen that says APN. This allows me to change the APN settings. Worthless without SOME data plan, but, it might be helpful to someone trying to use an alternate provider's APN settings (along with a SIM sled / flexible PCB (sold on several sites) behind the SIM to 'unlock' use with an alternative carrier, such as AT&T - easier to borrow an iPhone SIM with a Data plan, as there are more of them). Just a thought.
Just a note, I have already changed my phone from "Donut" to "CupCake", and my goal is to go to "Root". My current HBoot is 1.33.0006 (my phone has the 32B motherboard).
i got past the welcome screen without a data plan. We have 3 mt3g in my house and we all got past the welcome screen.
I just got past the activation screen, but without any magic. The version of firmware I have on my phone (HBOOT-1.33.0006) is likely newer than the one which allowed you to skip authentication without a data plan... I suspect this maneuver / inconvenience was added to the later versions of the firmware for exactly what it tried to require of me - to verify that I am a supposedly new customer, or an existing customer with a 3G data plan.
I was able to activate the phone the first try using my TMobile SIM which has a 5.99 TMobile Web (aka T-Zones) plan on it. That SIM worked for about 1 hour with data access, then MAGICally, the data stopped working, though the phone still worked as a phone.
I read up, and discovered this likely had something to do with the Donut / Cupcake installed on the phone by TMobile. I feel that during the one hour working time, the phone somehow auto-updated something to recognize the level of my SIM / data plan was too low.
Regardless.... I borrowed a co-worker's TMobile SIM - he had NO DATA PLAN... It allowed me to authenticate the G2 via Edge / GPRS / HSDPA. I glean from this that upon receiving an UNKNOWN, but active TMobile SIM card, the phone somehow allows that SIM access to data long enough to activate the phone. But for a SIM the phone has seen before and disabled, the disabled SIM remains disabled for data.
Next step... Root the phone, and swap out the ROM to something that doesn't lock me into requiring another activation via Gmail account (I hear that Hero may be a good ROM...). Crossing my fingers...
NEED HELP - i was reading above hoping that someone would ahve the same issue as me or well to be specific my gf.
She just got a mytouch a few days ago and got it to activate fine and all without having a data plan at all. I tried using her phone and all too and it worked perfectly although today whenever she tries to make a phone call it routes her to tmobile and she can only receive texts and not send them.

hello to everyone. I live in Brazil and I am having the same problem. My friend bought a htc mytouch 3g in the United States. Now when I turn it on it is asking activation system. How can I do now? I am in Brazil. Look how that is the mytouch trying to turn it on.

There is in fact no way to activate your plan without a plan. What I did was spend $60 for a single month of the plan, activate the phone, and then cancel it, and it worked fine.
However, if you can find some way to get Cyanogen on your phone, (you can't use the 1-click root application and install the cyanogen recovery image, though without having access to the phone), the newest Cyanogen has a little button to bypass the stupid activation mode, so you'll never need a plan again.
Trust me, it took me 3 months of trying to get it working without a plan.
Edit: Oh, actually if you have a friend with a plan that has a t-mobile phone with internet access (only certain ones work, though, not the sidewinder) you can steal their sim card for a few second and activate it that way.
Hello, I am writing this message through google translate. I have a Motorola Flipout MB511. It can receive calls and texts (sim card unlocked) but I can't register with Motoblur so I can't use my phone. Nothing further on the registration screen is used (assuming calls can be received). I have tried many different sides but nothing has worked so far. My phone is from AT&T.
When trying to register, it gives an error with a connection problem with the server (WiFi is on)
On the setup screen, hold "Alt" and press the "E" key twice, then let go of the "Alt" key and type "bluroff" and then wait. It should exit setup mode to the home screen.

Im wondering the same thing about the AT&T model, not as straightforward as typing a code on the setup screen or flashing deblur global rom(which just doesn't work on the AT&T model, already tried it myself-bricks the phone until you flash AT&T firmware again). Maybe we can somehow decompile the AT&T stock rom file and edit that build.prop line which disables blur? Would be absurd to need a mainboard replacement to a global/non-AT&T board, for such a stupid issue...
